Political sentiment is rising
out across the country, and the
people are indignant at the
Republican mess"
This is the viewpoint brought
back by Mrs. Katie Louchheim,
director of women's activities of
the Democratic National Com
mittee, who has just returned
from a two-week speaking tour
of nine States, most of them in
the Far West.
THE people are not sleeping
easy" Mrs. Louchheim said at a
press conference at Democratic
headquarters yesterday.
"They are concerned about
Republican policies on public
power, farm prices, unemploy-
ment and the international situa-
ton, with a surprising amount
of concern for the latter.
IF you don't bring up the in
ternational situation they do
she declared. "They want to talk
about what they themselves call
the lack of leadership and broken
promises of the Republican
administration.
"They seem most concerned
about the Republicans failure

flicting statements on foreign
policy and the cuts in defense.
"They know they are being
had. There is much criticism
of the slogans - like massive
retaliation and Selling the mi
tiative.' They say these are be-
ginning to have a hollow ring"
Most of the resentment seemed
to be directed toward the Re-
publican Congress, she said. "Ac-
tually I didn't hear the Presi-
dents name mentioned very
often, either pro or con. think
there is a feeling though that
he must take the responsibility
for what the Congress does OF

She found wide interest in the
Army Nc Carthy hearings "wher-
ever there was television and
they could watch them" she
said.
1.-The people were deeply dis
turbed by them. 1t was not
anger so much as what you

The concern was more for Nc
Carthyism than for the man

at that theme, she added.

dicted there will be more women

She refrained from making an

in only nine States. She will get
to other parts of the country

See how this advice would have
worked out for Mr.. Abel in to-

Mr.. Dale's vulnerable four-spade
overcall. Mr.. Meek slipped down
in his seat until only the top of
his head showed above the table.
With typical pessimism he ex-
pected to be down at least four.
Actually. he had nothing to
worry about. as Mr.. Dale made
his contract-because Mr.. Abel
failed to keep his exit card.
The nine of hearts was opened
and Miss Brash won with the ten
and returned the jack. which Mr..
Dale ruffed.
Mr.. Dale was prepared to find
all the outstanding trumpS on his
left and he started to prepare for
a trump end-play. He laid down
the king of clubs. Mr.. Abel won
with the ace and now let go the
most important card in his hand
his last heart.
Mr., Dale ruffed again. then
cashed the ace of spades. the
queen and the jack of clubs and
his three top diamonds. Now he
simply led the ten of spades and
Mr.. Abel was gone He won with
the jack, but had to return a
spade from the queen-eight into
Mr.. Dale'S king-nine.
AS Mr.. Meek emerged pale but
smiling from the depths Of his
chair, Mr.. Abel realized. too late,
that he should have led back a
club or a diamond after winning
with the ace of clubs.
If he had. he would have been
