What About Democratics
Statistics
Now let us apply statistics to
the possible Democratic rivals.
If the nominating convention
were to be held this month. I am
sure that ex-governor Stevenson
of Illinois (65 years ODD. can
didate four years ago. would get
the Democratic nomination. If
Eisenhower should not, run
again. Stevenson would have a
good chance of election: but not
against Eisenhower as a candi-
date. This is in my humble opin-
ion. AS for Governor Hartman of
New York. he surely could be
featured as a ''malefactor of great
wealth" more than could Mr..
Humphrey. Hartman probably
never earned a dollar in his life"
He inherited his millions from his
father. who was Americas great
est railroad giant; while Humph-
reg started with nothing and earn
ed his present wealth through de-
veloping coal. iron. and other
mines. Let me say, however. that
Hartman has probably had the
best training and experience for
The Presidency Of any possible De-
candidate. I have great
respect for his knowledge and for
MS contacts in national and world
politics. He is q New Dealer.
which would help him with labor
md probably with the great
American public. Statistically ths

Sport In Hunting

NINETEEN YEARS AGO the State of
~ Wisconsin became the first state to
legalize bow and arrow hunting. Today,
quite a few states recognize that the bow
and arrow is a popular and effective sport
ing weapon and have legalzed the use Of
the bow and arrow for killing big game.
Californian now offers a special deer
season and also permits bow-hunting every
thing from gophers to mountain lions.
West Virginia allows both bow-and -arrow
hunting and fishing. Minnesota allows the
killing of deer, bear, and moose with the
bow and arrow
Other states are joining the list of
those which have already legalized bow
and-arrow hunting. Ohio allows this type
of hunting for the first time this year.
Pennsylvania has broadened its rules re-

Consider Photography
This is an age of photographs.

photographs. Television is $3.50,
the movies are $3.50 photographs.
Ike takes wonderful photos and
his smile alone is worth millions

Facts about antlers are mixed
up with myths, legends and
a lot of folklore that sometimes
border on the ridiculous. One
common error among hunters is
the belief that a year-old- buck
IS always spike. tWo-year-
old has two points on each side,
and d point is added each year
until the very. very old bucks
have super-dooper antlers. This
lust isn't so
Trying to estimate the age
of a deer by the number of
points on his antlers was long
considered standard procedure.
but it isn't at all accurate. Teeth
show age mulch more accurately.
In classifying the deer family.
scientists use thee antlers as
main item. Deer and their near
relatives are placed in the order
II the ArtiddctylG. the split-hoof
animals. This order includes
mountain goats. bighorn sheep.
pronghorn antelope and muck
oxen. These four have true horns
that are hollow and are not shed
Zach year. IFor time it was
thought that the antelope shed
heir horns. but now we know
they merely drop the outer shell.)
The deer family, known as
Cerridue, is a division of the
Artiodactyla. and includes deer.
elk. moose and caribue. These are
all cud chewers. their antlers are
solid, and each season the whole
rack is shed and a new set grown.
The female caribou are the only
females among the deer family
that regularly grow antlers. There
are exceptions among the white
tails and mules: sometimes a doe
will grow antlers.
| How an animal can drop ant
lers and then grow a new set of
similar size Or larger between late
winter and early autumn. is some
thing of marvel. But they do it,
we are assured by Arthur H. Car
hart in an article in Sports Afield
magazine.
The animal that grows big
set of antlers is a very healthy
animal. A buck must get the right
sort Of nutrients to build those
antlers Your best chance of run
ming into trophy buck is in
country where there's an abun-
dance of limestone. It's limestone
country that grows big antlers on
prime bucks.

Washington. D. c.. Jan. S. The
most important comment in my
last weeks Forecast for 1856 was
this statement of mine: IF no
unforeseen event happens. Presi-
dent Eisenhower will be reno
minated and reelected in 1856"
Republicans Statistics Don't Lie
am no politician. but l do try
to be an honest statistician. Hence.
first let me dispose of the Ques-
ton of age. The President will be
68 in 1855. This would make him
70 by the close of his second term.
His rivals. in both the republican
and Democratic parties. say he is
Ito old to run again." Yet. War;
rem of California is "a.
Let us discuss first the possible
Republican candidates. My first
choice would be Vice President
Nixon. who is an ideal man. at an
ideal age of ~. Secretary of the
Treasurer George Humphrey, my
second personal choice. is IS. but
because of his success as a con-
structive businessman. I doubt il
he could be elected. Next in order
1 would select Thomas E. Dewey
former governor Of New York.
He probably is the ideal age.
namely So: but the party would
BE lcath to nominate one who had
been defeated twice. even though
he is an excellent administrator.
My fourth choice would be Sec
rotary Of State Dulles: but he Is
two years older than Mr.. Etsen-

lican aspirants are Senator Wfl-
liam Xn0wland Of California. ~.

DETURNS from the referendum have not
IL been received as this is written. How
ever. il is generally Conceded that large
vote will be cast and the people Of Virginia
will favor the calling of Constitutional
Convention to make changes in Section l41
to permit use of public funds as tuition
grants ur.der certain conditions. Assum
ing that the vote is favorable. then what
next?
The Virginia Legislature will convene
Wednesday, Presumably 1t will provide for
election of members Of the Constitutional
Convention. BY following former precedent
The convention may consist OF 40 members,
one from each Virginia Senatorial district.
Members of the convention will be elected
by the people The convention will convene
at some time in the future, debate and
amend Section 141.
We trust that the Virginia General AS
sembly will consider and act upon Reso-
luton of Interpostion, which will inter-
pose the sovereignty of the State of Vir-
ginia between the people and the unlegal,
unwarranted May II, 1854 decision of the
Supreme Court 1nterposition is not def
ance of the Supreme Court, on the con-
trary it challenges the decision of the court
as to its constitutionality. This is pro-
cess provided for in the Constitution itself,
by which a State calls upon its sister states
to use their sovereignty to settle a dispute
between the states and the Court. Should
it be determined that a number Of states
will agree in interposition, in order that the
decision of the Court may be effective, an
amendment TO the United States Consti-
tuition would be required, giving to the Fed
eral Government by constitutional methods
the right of control over the schools of the
states. This right is not now delegated
under the present Constitution to the Fed
eral Government. To amend the Z. S. Con-
stitution the amendment must be ratified
