Fox clubbing, the early fall
sport that all the hunts have
been getting ready for, started
few weeks ago but, except for
Middleburg, stopped because of
the drought. AS precious as cub
bing is to the fox-hunter, his
fields and horses are more prec-
ious. The danger of fire from
dropped matches or cigarettes,
the runious hard ground and the
confusion of hounds, which can
not follow scent on baked
ground, have outweighed the fun
of stirring up the little foxes.
Piedmont Hounds, which have
DR.. Archie Randolph and his
son, Dulany Randolph, as joint
masters, went out a few times
but have stopped. Piedmont's
opening hunt usually falls on
the last Friday of October and,
unless there is rain, it looks as
though the hunt will wait until
then to follow hounds.

again on Wednesday. The Mid
dleburg Hunt is still going out
three mornings a week with their
new master, Mrs. Holger Bid
strup. Despite the hard ground.
there were about 35 in the field
last Saturday morning.
Newell Ward, jr.. joint-master
Of Middleburg. with Mr.. Dan
Sands until he resigned last

his wife, the former Bettina Bel

groom, their two children and,

Over Mon-Sized Job for Democrats

mittee women for the first time
9 few weeks ago, she said, when
she attended q national COM
mittee meeting as alternate to
Mrs. ]. Borden Hartman, Dis
tr1ct committee woman. Others
she has met during the last two
national conventions.
Mrs. Louchheim says her gen.
eral philosophy in her new post
Is expressed in the phrase: Men
do the difficult: women the i'm
possible" She recently heard
another phrase which she thinks
expresses it well: mo rock Is too
heavy to lift If under 1t you can
find a friend"
She thinks the Democrats
have a good chance to win con-
troll Of Congress in 1854, ''but 1t
will be no walkaway." She be-
lieveS the upward adjustment
of interest rates by the Republic
cans will be an important issue
for the Democrats when people
start realizing how much more
it is costing them to buy homes
and other things"
The new director was born
in New York City and graduated
from Rosemary Hall in Green
wich, Conn. She studied music
and languages in Germany and
Holland for a year, then took q
succession of courses, mostly in
English literature, at Barnard
College, then Columbia Univer-
sity, both before and after her
1926 marriage to Walter Louch-
helm. Along the way she also
took a secretarial course and
held several secretarial posts in
New York City, including jobs
in an antique shop, for an in
terror decorator, and in a small
publishing house.
She became interested in poll
tics after moving to Washing
ton, and, as so many other
women have, first worked politi-
cally through the League OF
Women Voters, for whom she
wrote and edited phamplets.
At the beginning Of World
War II she served as deputy
warden for emergency feeding
and housing for her area. In
1912 she became assistant to
the executive director Of the
Office of Foreign Relief and Re-
Mobilization, shifting from there
to the United Nations Relief
and Rehabilitation Administra-
tion, where she remained until
1946 as assistant to the Director
of Public Information.
She has done a good deal Of
free-lance writing, including a
recent series on a trip to Europe
this summer, a column (co-
authored for Labor'S League for
Political Education entitled For
Women Only"
During last falls campaign
she was assistant to the chair
man Of the Labor Division of
the Democratic National Com
mittee. &
In that capacity she travelled
for eight days on the Stevenson
train, where she says, my first
important assignment was to
rush off the train and buy cough
drops for the Governor"

Mrs. Katie Louchheim, who
will step into India Edwards
shoes as director Of women's
activities Of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, is q 49-year-
old mother and grandmother
with greying reddish-gold hair,
green eyes and a warm, infec-
tuouS manner.
Mrs. Edwards will retain the
post Of vice chairman OF the
national committee. but she is
leaving Washington, and the
day-to-day operations Of wom-
ems activities will be taken over
by Mrs. Louchheim.
A familiar figure in local Dem
ocratic circles, Mrs. Louchheim
is alternate Democratic National
Committeewoman for the Dis
trict and was a delegate to the
1948 and 1852 national conven-
tions. She has been an active
volunteer at Democratic head
quarters since the late 3Os. She
and her husband, Walter C..
Louchheim, jr., live in a COM
Portable house at 1924 o street
in Georgetown. where they like
to give informal parties which
feature good political discussion.
They came to Washington in
1884 when Mr.. Louchheim, for
merly a broker, joined the staff
OF the then new Securities and
Exchange Commission. He re-
signed from the agency recently,
after 19 years, to become a pri-
vate financial consultant and
investment counselor.
Mon Sized Job
Mrs. Louchheim is quick to
admit that she is taking over
q man-Sized job in trying to I'LL
the shoes Of the redoubtable
India. Mrs. Edwards has q fair
for headlines and, more impor-
tant. a, stubborn, hard-driving
militancy and a skill in politi-
cal maneuvering which have
made her the despair of envious
rivals in her own party as well
as among the Republicans.
II will have to do some grow
ing" says the new women'S di-
rector candidly. Fortunately, I
have had a good deal Of expert
ence with India during the last
few years. I made several trips
with her, and I learned lot just
being around her. But know
I still have a lot to learn"
Mrs. Louchheim'S biggest task
will be to try to rekindle for the
Democratic Party the Kind of
enthusiastic support from women
which political observers credit
with being such a large factor
in electing Gen. Eisenhower
to the presidency.
Mrs. Edwards answer to the
suggestion that women elected
Eisenhower - an answer In
which her successor concurs-is
that it is always easier for q
party out Of power, with a new
program (and particularly when
their candidate is a national
hero) to rally the support of new
people, both men and women.
Technically the new wofnen's
director takes over next Monday,
at which time Mrs. Edwards and
her husband leave for drive
to California to visit their family.
Mrs. Louchheim will fly to Chi
cago Sunday to confer with Dem
ocratic National Committee
Chairman Stephen Mitchell.
Soon she hopes to begin
series of trips around the coun-
try, to become better acquainted
with women leaders in each State
and the particular problems Of
each.

Along the Potomac
to Washington
With Your Congressman
Dewitt S. HYDE

The tax program of the Eisen-
hover Administration is now be-
coming clear. Taxes are going to
be fairer and lower.
Several developments in recent
days have shown this. President
Eisenhower has told the nation why
his Administration win not seek a
federal retail sales tax; Defense
Secretary Wilson has told us the
defense budget has been cut just
about all it can be, and the new
economy drive has assured tax re-
auctions.
The President, the Cabinet and
Congress were unable to make
these policies definite sooner be-
cause Of the c. o. u. bills which
were inherited from the previous
Administration. A great amount
of government purchasing had been
planned because of mistaken esti-
mates of what the government in
come would be.
There has been considerable
speculation that the President
would seek a national sales tax,
but the fact was that Treasury
study of the idea showed how
wrong it would be- The President
wants the authority to levy such
tax left with the states and cities
whose responsibility it is to build
badly needed schools, hospitals and
highways. The alternative would
be the familiar refrain, Let the
federal government do it." We don't
want that
The new government economy
drive has produced results, and it
will enable all of us to enjoy the
ten percent income tax cut and
