Clear Of Predictions

A top Washington hostess
came in for some panning when
columnist George Dixon was
asked Whats the truth about
unemployment"
There's cnly one person In
the whole world who could have
written that question:" he said.
Gwen Cafritz."
AS far as predicting whether
the Republican farm policy would
affect the outcome of the elec-
ton more than unemployment,
John Henry Of The Evening Star
said he believed the Democrats
would win q few seats from the
farm belt, but that it would be
difficult to attribute gain Of seats
from other areas directly to un-
employment because In an indus
trial area it is just one Of several
factors that might influence a
change.
Mr.. Bean added his opinion
that the Democrats would pick
up the greatest number of seats
north Of the Mason-Dixon Line,
north Of the Ohio River and east
Of the Mississippi River.
Richard Harkness, Of the Ma
tional Broadcasting Company,
also hit another serious note with
the comment that the Republi-
cans have waged "a low-grade
campaign" all over the country
and have completely bypassed

issue - the economic achieve
ments of the Eisenhower admin

I'm spite of the fact that we

"We can say we are bigger;

Some Of the Capitals top news
analysts went fishing" in the
treacherous waters Of political
prognostication yesterday. but
none of them hung his or her in
dividual opinions on q hickory
limb as far as the November 2
elections are concerned.
Scene Of the fishing party
was the National Press Club au-
ditorium where members of the
panel were guests at q Women's
Advertising Club luncheon. Louis
n. Bean, who won fame by cor
rectly predicting the outcome Of
the Truman-Dewey presidential
contest, as moderator.
At one end of the head table,
was placed a silver bowl from
which panelists. equipped with
1shing poles, were invited to
fish" for political queries sub
Anitted by club members.
Most of the queries, with few
exceptions. were answered with
1 ighthearted banter which key
noted the program.
6 At the end of the luncheon,
however, the panel submitted It's
mass opinion Of the outcome Of
the November election, predict
ing that the Democrats would
gain two seats in the Senate,
md 20 in the House. The groups
estimate of net gain of House
6eats for the Democrats sur
prised Mr.. Bean, whose predic-
lion still remains at the 40
dgure he named some time ago.
The questions from the fish
Ing bowl" baited some witty
answers such as the one picked
by Fred Gilman of the Wash
ington Daily News, who was
asked If it was smart politics
for New York Republican can
didate Irving Ives to accuse his
Democratic opponent Averell
Hartman Of an old scandal.
"Any old scandal is better than
no scandal" he quipped.
