At the same time, Secre-
tary of State John Foster
Dulles is to appear in Will
Jamestown at a nonpolitical
function, a convocation OBJ
serving the Sesquicentennisl
of the American foreign mis-
sionary movement, which be-
gan with the decision of five
Williams undergraduates one
rainy autumn day in the early
18th Century to carry the
Gospel to the far corners Of
the world.
! The latest available dope
here indicates that the Pre-
sident's prospects of carry
ing Massachusetts are good.
even though things are amiss
for the COP on the state and
local level.
An eastern MASSACHUSETTS
editor, visiting in the ma
tional capital, remarked that
the Republican campaign was
not going smoothly in spite
of the vigorous efforts of the
affable state chairman, Ralph
E. Bonnell of Winchester. and
that Summer G. Whittier
seeking promotion from Lieu
tenant governor to governor
is on the short end Of 81
odds favoring Foster Furcolo
The visitor also reported
that the New Bedford Cape
Cod District representative.
Donald w. Nicholson, is ex-
pected to wind up his law
making career during the 85th
Congress, after being hard
pressed for nomination by an
opponent who commended the
states Democrats on Capt.
toll Hill had better pro-Ike
voting records, that the
stanchly conservative Nick"
And in the Tenth District,
incumbent Republican Con-
gresham Laurence Curtis,
son-in-law of WillimStown'S
George Schryver, is only
slightly ahead-for the time
being Of Democratic candidate
Jackson Holtz.
The chief hope of the Demo-
Gratis in the Bay State bal
loting for President is pinned
on the state leadership pro-
vided by Senator John F.
Kennedy and the slate for
statewide and Congressional
Office. Senator Kennedy, in
turn, will be appraised in
Massachusetts, and nationally
as a state leader on the basis
of the election returns next
month.
Obviously, a Stevenson and
Furcolo triumph IN 1856
would heigllten the chances of
a Kennedy reelection land
slide in 1858 and of Ken
nedy's place on the national
ticket in 1860 or 1854.
In both Massachusetts, eli
ties where Stevenson is sche-
duled to speak are Democratic
congressman virtually certain
to win. Edward P. Boland of
Springfield, former state SEN
ator, who shares an apart
ment here with Representative
Thomas P. O'Neill of Cam
bridge, is, one of the ablest
Understanding and most at
tractive young House members
At Chicago, his popularity
and influence with lawmakers
from other regions had much
to do with the impressive
Southern support which Ken
nedy enjoyed in the dramatic
balloting for the vice. pre-
sidential nomination.
Harold A. Donohue of Wor-
cester will be remembered as
one Of three Democratic con-
tenders in 1946-a bleak cleo
ton year for the Democrats
to defeat sitting Repubh-
cans for the House of Repre-
sentatives.
A bachelor, like Boland, anc
some ten years Boland's semi
or, Donohue's five straight
victories make COP talk o.
recapturing the Worcester
district sound extremely wish
full.
His campaign proves alsC

practical political training or

wasn't old enough to vote
He's now in his mid-flfties
Much is being made in tnt
press outside Of Massachusetts.
