If winter comes. can spring
and the point o-points be
far behind? The Rappahan-
mock Hunt has chalked up am
other first by setting March 5
for their point -to-point down
near Washington, Va.
Last year cold winds took
the breath away from spec
tators when Rappahannock
ran their races around the
Leon Greenways' well-laid-
out course but the races were
good and the Raymond Wires
party afterward thawed every
body out in time for the next

and also against some pretty

Party at White ooks
The Greenways came up
last week to see Tom Taylor,
home from the hospital after
his hunting accident. They
had dinner with the Joseph
Rogers and treked back TO
Washington, Va. Tom was
missed at the Sam Rogers. jr..
party on Saturday. Almost
every member Of the Loudoun
Hunt except Tom and Mary
Godfrey, whose pet hunter In
slider dropped dead the other
day, came in sometime during
the afternoon. The party. held
at the Rogers White Oaks
across from the new and
sprawiing Loudoun High School
near Leesburg, started around
2::S0, when the field came in
after the hounds had jumped
two foxes, one of which went
up a tree and the other down

1.-THE Soviets need a long-range

He said they also are produc-

light Of present tensions in the
Far East.
However" Gen. Twining
added, "this growing Chinese
air force is not the real danger.
A potentially greater danger is
their expanding system of air

system gives the Communists
the ability to move in aircraft

Leads Shifting
In Michigan
Vote Count

DETROIT, April 6 tR.-Three
Democrats. and one Republican
appeared today to have woY
Office. and three Republican,
and one Democrat held uncer-
tain leads in other races still
being counted in Michigan's
Monday spring election. Fifty
Of 4.783 precincts were still out.
The cleanup of struggling re-
turns brought changes "a hours
after the Democrats appeared
to have swept all eight office
six educational administrative
jobs and two Supreme Court
eats.
Tabulations just before noon
sent a Republican ahead in one
race for the State Board Of Agri-
culture, sharply cut into the lead
of a Democrat running for the
University of Michigan Board of
Regents. and altered some other
margins so much that they
seemed unsafe, pending official
counts.
The delayed returns from usu-
ally Republican outstate counties
made deep inroads into the DEM
ocratic leads run up on the basis
of early, complete returns from
the Detroit metropolitan area.
Republicans usually win the
spring election but Democrats,
led by Gov. g. Mennen williams,
a 1856 Democratic presidential
possibility. and by the active
campaigning Of organized labor
forces. made a stronger bid this
time. They sought to complete
q Democratic State victory of
last fall.

Chicago Rule
Retained by
Democrats

CHICAGO, April 6 (P.-Dem-
ocratic forces have retained their
long dominance Of Chicago poll
tics after turning back a deter
mined Republican assault and
electing Richard j. Daley Mayor
by some 1870 votes.
The G. o. P. attempt to wrest
control of the city crumpled in
yesterdays election. Complete
unofficial returns gave Mr.. Daley
708,660 votes and Alderman Rob-
ert E. Merriam 581 .461.
Although decisive, the result
was one of the closet since Anton
j. Cermak wrested the mayor
atty from William Hale Thomp-
son in 1881. The only narrower
margin in the six Democratic
Mayor victories preceding Mr.
Daley's was that of I14.020 by
which the late Mayor Edward
j. Kelly won his third term in
1913.
:. : Butler Halls Victory.
- The Chicago victory and
Democratic gains in Michigan
were hailed by Democratic Ma
tional Chairman Paul Butler as
evidence of the party's "resurg-
ence" of strength. To Illinois
Republican leaders, it meant
that the city's traditional Demo-
cratic leaning had not been
altered, and with the Chicago
Democratic organization intact
there might be trouble ahead in
the 1856 presidential and State
contests.
Yesterdays results in alder
manic races indicate Mr.. Daley
will have 38 Democrats among
the so aldermen in the City
Council.
Mr.. Daley, the 52-year-old
