WASHINGTON What few peo- ple. even inside the Republican Party, fully realize is that the men at the head of the COP ticket are far ahead of the Republican Con- gress which is now meeting in special session.
 The real truth is that Dewey
 and Warren have much more
 in common with Harry Truman
 when it comes to domestic
 lcgislstion than the kepubli-
 can Party which nominated
 them.
 If there is to be a Republican administration next January. there fore, this special session is the time for the voters to watch their Con- gressmen. They can thei4 go to the polls in November in an ef- for. to give the next administra- tion a workable Congress instead oi the present collection of mis- fits and richards.
 All you have to do is look at the record to see how far ahead of Congress are the two top candi- dates on the Republican ticket. Here is their record:

a s e v e n-member council
would replace the present
