Bean Predicts
Democrats Will
Win at Polls
THE MIDTERM BATTLE
BY Louis H. Bean. Business
Press, Inc; ST.

NeFiSWSu ny ). -. ~ LeuTy
Louis H. Bean, the Government
economist who forecast a Demo-
cratic trend in 1948 when most
experts thought the Republicans
would win in a walk, has come up
with another interesting booklet
on what may happen in the No.
vember congressional elections. In
1948 Mr.. Bean saw signs of an
other Democratic victory even be-
fore the nominations.
Mr.. Beans prediction is the
Democrats will keep control of
both the House and Senate this
year by reduced majorities. He
sees only the normal off-year
losses for the party in power of
25 or 80 seats in the House, and
three or four Senate seats.
At their present strength in
this Congress the Republicans
would have to capture 46 seats to
control the House, and Z to or
ganize the Senate.
But the chief value in Mr..
Beans new book, THE Midterm
Battle" does not lie so much in
his own predictions as in the pres
entation of his forecasting sys-
tenn. Basically, it consists of
judging the future by the past.
Obviously a man who revels in
charts and statistics, the author
apparently has devoted his spare
time for years to a deep study of
the returns from past elections,
observing how the political winds
change under different economic
conditions. noting the effects of
light -or heavy turnouts and
watching the trends in widely
scattered geographical areas.
The author, who is an adviser
to the Secretary of Agriculture,
makes no mystery of his system.
In fact, his booklet is step-by-
step account, entertainingly writ
ten. of how he reaches his own
conclusions.
Mr.. Beans specific predictions
for 1850 may be upset by the out
break of war in Korea. But il
that happens it will not neces-
sarily be any reflection on his
methods. for he wisely based his
forecast on conditions as they ex-
isted at the time they were written.

Kirk Faces
slim, Year
On Griidiron

1t looks as if Kirk is doomed for
a very clean" year in football COM
petition, although the boys feel
that they will win at least two of
their five scheduled games.
Coach Phil Worcester is faced
with the unpleasant task of field
ing a team which lacks even a
single letterman and, with the in
experienced material at hand, the
outlook is far from bright.
Starting from scratch, the Demon
mentor has had to experiment con-
siderably in the short practice per-
iod the boys have had before the
season opener and the green squad
will have to learn the hard way,
by actual game experience, as the
season progresses.
The Demons got off to an mus
picious start against Benedictine
on the home field on Tuesday, los
ing 26-6. The Bengals were bigger
and much more experienced, but
the Kirkonians played them on
even terms in the last two quarters
after trailing 1910 at halftime. The
lone Kirk touchdown came late in
the third stanza on 25-yard pass
from Quarterback Bill Whitacre to
Right Half Derry Clay. Young
Whitacre handled the team nicely
and looms as a potential aerial
artist but his short stature might
prove handicap in throwing over
a charging line.
Coach Worcester, after sorting
out the so candidates who reported
for the initial practice three weeks
ago, has nominated the following
boys as the starting eleven:
Vaughn Angle, LIE; Jim Nelson,
1T; Sam Rondini, LG; Dick Follett,
c; Tom Lowerey, RG; George Kali
as, RT; Dick Kohagen, RE; Jim
Gruder, @; Mac Fulton, LII; Tony
Zampino, RH; Tom Williams, F.
Boys who are now rated as
second-stringers, but who are
potential varsity material, are:
George De More, LIE; Dan Opatr-
ny, LIT; Harold Sullivan, LG; Ron
Freu, c; Jack Hanson, RG; Bob
Sullivan, RT; Tom Papouras, RE;
Bill Whitacre, Q; Bill Bennett, LII;
