Republicans of the Capital will
perfect their local party organ
izationS.
In the process. the Democrats
here will determine whether Ad-
lai Stevenson or Estes Kefauver
shall get the Districts six votes
for the presidential nomination
at the Democratic national con-
vention in Chicago this summer
At the same time, Republicans
will resolve a bitter dispute be-
tween the local G. o. P. leader
ship and an anti-organization
faction which reared it's con-
spicious head only a few months
ago
An uncertain development
came as the campaign neared its
close. The Board of Elections
raised important questions about
some of the sample ballots" be-
ing distributed by an anti-or-
ganization Republican candi-
date.
$1,000 Qualified
Approximately $4,000 citizens
are qualified to vote in this pri-
mary election. They are fairly
evenly divided between the ma
ior political parties. with a slight
advantage to the Democrats over
Republicans.
Each local party will name
representatives to its national
political committee. Each will
choose a delegation for its ma
tional political convention. Each
will elect local governing COM
mittee.
Polling places will be open
Tuesday from 8 am. until 8 pm.
Every qualified voter is being
notified by mail this week end
of the polling place for the pre-
cinct in which he lives. Most
of these notices will be received
by the voters tomorrow.
Congress refused to allow the
District to conduct a preferential
primary for presidential aspir-
ants Hence. the names of Sem
ator Kefauver and Mr.. Stevenson
will not appear on the Demo-
cratic ballot. Nor will President
Eisenhower's name be on the
Republican ballot.
Rivalry Splits Democrats
The Republican candidates are
solidly for President Eisenhower
but Democrats are split over the
rivalry between the 1852 stand
ard bearer. Mr.. Stevenson. and
the Tennessee Senator, Mr.. Ke-
fauver
For a while. both of the presi-
dental front-runners on the
Democratic side held aloof from
the District. Their supporters
organized locally, however, and
gradually, it was indicated that
both men would like to see diff
ferent states of delegate candi-
dates elected. Eventually. both
Mr.. Stevenson and Senator Ke-
fauver began cultivating friends
among the District voters.
If a clear-cut victory is won
Tuesday either by the Stevenson
slate of delegates or the Kefau-
yer slate. the country can expect

for one candidate or the other

FAMOUS FABLES
By E. z. EDGAR

CONSOLATION: To composer
Arnold Schonberg. it was most
important that his music be
played under favorable condi-
lions. One time, he learned from
Ia friend that one Of his COM
positions had been played in a
vast Boston auditorium.
Instead of being pleased,
Schonberg few into q rage.
THAT music was written to be
played for an intimate group"
he cried. How dare they give
Ia performance in such an au-
ditorium. Why. that place seats
/ 900 people!"
Don't be upset." consoled the
other. "It was only half filled"
CONNECTIONS: While in
London. playwright s. N. Behr-
man was introduced by Noel
Coward to the Duke of Con-
naught. son of Queen Victoria.
The Duke lightly touched on his
relationship to the royal family
and casually mentioned a few
Prime Ministers with whom he
had been friendly.
When the Duke left, Coward
asked:
What did you think Of him?"
He seems to be very well
connected" said Behrman.

out funds. making a new life for
my family.
I don't think my wife knows
what she is talking about. She
has never had to think twice
since marrying me about spend
ing any amount Of money. She
could never adjust herself to
living on small budget. She
lis just romancing when she
talks about a new life.
THE COUNCILS VIEWS
Bill could remake his life, but
lit would take q struggle. The
insuperable difficulty here is, that
Bill actually enjoys his reputa-
ton and his strange position.
The hangers are nuisances
when they press him, but they
are also the breath of life to
him. They feed his ego, making
him a "big shot"
Bill mas some rude SHOCKS
coming to him. In all likelihood
his children will turn on him just
when he needs them most. For
they will take their advantages
for granted and bitterly resent
their inherited reputation.
Joan may be underestimate ting
the difficulties that would lie
ahead If the family were to pull
Iup stakes. but she does seem to
have a genuine realization of the
heartache that awaits them if
they do not make a,clean break.
Bill is the one who is doing the
romancing. He thinks he can
continue living in his present
fools paradise through old age,
and he lacks the imagination to
sense how badly he will feel
when his reputation catches up
with him through his sensitive
children as they grow up.

However, here Is what want

of readers who may think am

definitely should not smoke.)
There are conditions that con-
Itraindicate smoking. For ex-
ample, if you have q gastric or
duodenal ulcer, throw your
package of cigarettes into the
waste basket right now. In my
experience, people with ulcers
who smoke never get well. There

her patients to smoke. When she
says stop now she means it. II,

coronary disease to break the
habit. For example, patients
with angina who continue to
smoke don't do as well as those
who have the will power to help
themselves.
Some Have No Choice
There is one condition that
absolutely and invariably gets
worse with smoking. That is
known as Thromboangitis OBJ
literans (Buerger's Disease). #
you have this trouble in the cir
Iculation Of your extremities, you
have no choice. Stop. Quit.
IDesist. II you continue, you will

I recall one middle-aged man
with Buerger's Disease who had
already had one leg amputated.
Nevertheless he continued to
smoke against advice. I saw him
about two years later with both
legs of. He had made his choice.
Depending upon who you are,
you will have to make yours: to

What he is looking for is an
excuse to continue a habit that

When an apparently healthy

and compare it with his dis
comforts. The choice is his.
don't think we physicians

blanket embargo on all smoking.
We should, believe, lay all the

cision in a healthy person is

I think most persons are now

of smoking. Newspapers. mag

between smoking and cancer and
