NEW YORK R-Harold Vincent
BOYLE, who regularly presides over
this space, is off on a three-week
vacation.
He left on a Caribbean cruise
with Frances and their 7-month-
old daughter, Tracy.
Now. those who know Boyle know
how difficult it is to get him out
of a room. Getting him out OF the
country is only little less siren
uous than dispatchins the Isl
Armored Division off to an inva
sion.
It's not that he's lazy-not agile
energetic, elbow-swinging Boyle
who every time he loses an ounce
calls himself the Tiger Man.
Nor is he afraid to make decisions
The more he lets others make, me
more food they'll have for thelI
own ego and sense of usefulness.
And so, on the morning they
were leaving, l arrived at the
Boyle apartment. Three or toui
friends, recruited to help in tht
Ilast-minute arrangements, also
were there. Baggage, cameras
film, hats, we're scattered aoou'
the living room. Tracy gurgled II
her play pen. Frances ran arounc
efficiently collecting things, check
| ing lists and baby clothes.
And. in the midst of the inevi
table confusion, Harold Vincent
BOYLE sat on the couch, enjoying
sublime serenity, grinning like
an Irish Buddha. He wondered
what tie to wear to the boat.
Frances ran off to shower. The
rest of US started putting state
room stickers on the baggage.
"Of course, you kids realize
Bowie announced, without moving
this is no rehearsal. This is the
real thing. But then, If we mis-:
the boat. wen always have enough
for bridge"
Somebody asked where tht
ibaby's hat was and Boyle, whC
would buckle under a cap pistol
asked, where's my elephant
gun?"
Somebody asked about the loose
belt and sport shirt on the brown
suit case.
THAT'S mine" Boyle said.
"Why don't you put 1t some
where?"
I'm waiting for Frances to tel
me. I'm not going to rush intC
making any mistakes"
/ But Boyle did volunteer thG
helpful information that yesterday
while buying a suit, he met thi!
fellow who sold him new kind o
toothbrush, something called al
"oralizer" which "cleans you
teeth while It cleans your tongue.
Somebody said it was gettini
late. That's all right, Francie,
Boyle yelled to the back bedroom

Illinois Is
Expecting Hot
Senate Race
BY RUSSELL LANE

Ak11NAGO hJ - ll1uOIS 1U-Cd du-
didate race in the Republican
III. S. senatorial primary may be
affected to a great extent by ballot
fights which face two House lead
ers from the state.
The House members seeking re-
nomination in Illinois. April l3 pri-
mary election are veteran Leo E.
Allen of Galena, chairman of the
Rules Committee, and Harold H.
lValde, who heads the Un-American
Activities Committee.
Some candidates in the record
field for nomination to oppose
Democratic Sen. Paul H. Douglas
next November are planning extra
campaign efforts in the northwest
ern Illinois territories represented
by Allen and Velde.
The prospects of heavy voting
in Aliens District, which includes
Rockford. and Velde's 18th, en-
bracing the Peoria-P Pekin industrial
center, make those regions vital
to candidates in the statewide SEN
atorial contest. Both congressional
districts are preponderantly Re-
publican.
Pluralities in the Chicago Metro
politan area, Rockford and Peoria
could virtually assure nomination.
Strategy of at least three sena-
torial candidates have already
been oriented in this direction.
They are Edward A. Hayes, Chi
cago attorney and former national
commander of the American Le-
gion, who has scheduled a Rock
ford meeting for today; Park Liv-
ingston, Lagrange attorney and
University of Illinois trustee, who
has done some preliminary speak
ing in the northwest districts and
plans more; and Joseph T. Meek
of Western Springs, head of the
Illinois Federation of Retail Assns.
Others in the COP senatorial
primary lists are John B. Crane,
Chicago economist whose cam
paign has been delayed while he
accompanied Secretary of State
Dulles to the Big Four talks in
Berlin; Deneen A. Watson, Win
netka, secretary of the Illinois
State Bar Assn; Austin L. Wyman.

Chicago Crime Commission; julius

tional Guard brgadier general:

didate.
In the 18th District Race. Velde
faces State Rep. Robert H. Allison,
go, Pekin fellow townsman and
veteran of 20 years in the Illinois
Legislature. Allison, a lawyer who
lost his left arm in a coal mine
accident in 1913, has a strong labor
following.
His challenge to Velde is con-
sidered critical by some observers
who say Velde has lost ground with
some groups in his district because
of his committees anti-Red inves-
legations n the religious and unon
fields.
/ Allen Is In a four-way race in
his district. His principal threat
is Robert r. Garfield, states at.

claims strong backing in Rockford.

might draw heavily in Winnebago
