THE POLITICAL MILL
Kennedy and FurcoIo Prospects BRIGHT
By GOULD LINCOLN

publican presidential candi.
date in 1852 did the Bay
State fail to vote Democratic
in presidential elections after
the 1928 Democratic victory.
Gov. Furcolo has Just
been defeated in a bitter bat
tie over a State sales tax in
the Legislature. He had, it is
true, bipartisan support for
his tax bill. But in the State
House of Representatives he
lost, first 1870 to l05; then on
q motion to reconsider, by
l27 to lot. 1t was a bitter
blow to the Governors pro-
gram. and the issue likely
will come up in next years
campaign. The sales tax has
never been popular in this
State. The Democratic State
platform on which Furcolo
was elected last year declared
against such a tax.
But Gov. Furcolo, faced
with the need Of raising funds
to meet the State budget he
proposed, plus the fact that
property taxes in Massachus-
etts are very high, took the
bull by the horns and pro-
posed a sales tax. He insisted
that in the long run the run
of-the-mine voter, the little
fellow, the medium sized fell
low and the big fellow, all
would benefit from a tax
which would make it possible
to reduce property taxes and
rents. He had strong sup
port from some of the Re-
publican press. and from
some of the Republican legiS-
lators. But the bill failed,
and Republicans are being
held responsible and charged
with voting against the tax
measure in order to embar-
raSS the Democratic Cover
nor.
Echo Of Washington
Some of the opponents of
the bill are claiming the
sales tax was not really need
ed; that the Furcolo budget
is many millions of dollars
TOO large-much larger than
the last Herter budget-and
that it can be cut down.
Their talk sounds like an
echo of the attacks in WASH
ington and the rest of the
country against the Eisen-
hover budget.
Economy has become a
favorite theme of the politi-
clan. How far the Republic
cans can get with the issue
in Massachusetts in next
years election remains to be
seen.

Two young Massachusetts,
Democrats, who served side
by side in the House of Rep
resentatives in Washington
five years ago. have made big
political strides. Today one
is United States Senator. The
other is Governor Of Massa-
chusetts. One is of Irish de-
scent. The other, Italian.
Both are Americans in the
best tradition. Senator John
F. Kennedy left the House to
run for Senator in 1852,
when he defeated the then
Senator and now United
States Ambassador to the
United Nations, Henry Cabot
Lodge. jr. Gov. Foster
Furcolo left the House to hold
important State ONCE. He
tried for the Senate in 1854,
but was defeated by Repub-
lican Senator Saltonstall.
Last year. however, he staged
an important comeback, win
ming election as Governor
Notwithstanding the fact that
President Eisenhower was
sweeping the State over his
Democratic opponent, Adlai
Stevenson. Both must run
for reelection again in 1858.
Their prospects Of victory, as
OF today, look mighty good.
FurcOlo May Face Fight
Senator Kennedy. who has
made great strides for so
young a mamie is just 40
years old-in the national as
well as State political fields,
is regarded as unbeatable.
The talk is he will have only
token Republican opposition
Tor the Senate next year. if
he has any. Presumably.
however, the G. o. p. will
try to find as strong and ac-
ceptable a candidate to run
against him as they can.
Gov. Furcolo may have
considerably more of a fight.
The Republicans will try
hard to wrest the State
house away from the Demo-
Gratis. They believe they
have issues working in their
behalf. Whether they can
find another Christian Herter
who was elected Governor
twice and. declining to seek
a third term. is now Under
secretary of State in Wash
ington-is another matter.
Massachusetts, is a real
political battleground-and
an important one. AS the
most populous of the six New
England States and some
times a political bellwether.
except for the fact that the
Democrats hold the Gov
ernorship. the State is split
politically right down the
middle. The Democrats have
a United States Senator, and
so have the Republicans. The
Democrats have seven mem
bers Of the House of Repre-
sentatives, and the Re-
publicans have seven. Back
in 1928, Massachusetts, aban-
doned the G. o. P. in the
presidential race, giving its

Dear Sir:
Your friend Templeton
Jones is interested in the
usual affairs of life, people,
animals. even insects.
He should see a young
lady in our community who
has the best posture in the
world.
This young lady holds
herself as If she were a prin-
cess. In other words, she
stands properly, without
bending, yet does not have
a toosstraight air.
She is, as far as posture
goes. perfect, which seems
something special In this
slouching world.
i have always admired
posture. and think women
achieve 1t best. I do not
think enough care is given
to the subject in school.
IF children were taught
posture as a sort Of game,
there would be less slouching
through life later.
Il think today may, in
years to come, be regarded
as the SLOUGH Age, and dis
NAL pictures be drawn from
photographs that might be
taken on any street corner.

Worry is extremely de-
structive to health and to
beauty also.
This is especially true If
your worry is not backed
up by constructive action.
Chronic worriers null their
problems over continually
without doing anything
about them.
OF course, there are some
situations and conditions
which are impossible to cor
rect. but most of them are
susceptible to Improvement
II we give intelligent thought
to the problem and then do
what we can. If we can't do
anything. we simply have to
adjust to the situation or in
jure our health by stewing in
our own juice.
Act Of Self Destruction
The expert worrier can fret
about anything - things
which are not important and
things which will never
happen. Their worry be-
comes an art of self-destruc-
ton. These individuals might
even feel unimportant and
lonely without their worries
until they replace them with
more constructive, positive
thoughts.

you ignore danger signals,
that you fail to apply INTEL

However, the worry habit
is a very strong one which
can develop subtly in times
of real stress and carry over
as a habit after the crisis is
past. A lowered state Of
health or nervous exhaustion
also can cause one to have an
apprehensive approach to
life.
Think Happy Thoughts
We can accomplish much
through mental discipline, by
replacing an unhappy
thought with q happy one, by
concentrating on pleasant

which are unpleasant, by

RIGHT Hdnd Drive
But Got Gold Feet"

Senator John D. MerWin
was in favor Of Right Hand
Drive, and told the editor Of
the Avis a year ago, that he
planned to introduce a bill to
change from the present left
hand to right. Although the
Legislature met in regular and
special session since that time,
Senator MerWin has, been
strangely silent.
Yesterday, the Senator was
asked by the Avis the reason
for his silence on the right
hand drive. He said that he
still favors the change but that
a letter was sent to the Legis-
lature last year by Raymond
Pedro of Grove Place in which
reference was made to a crazy
Legislator who wanted to
change to right hand drive,
and that it would result in the
jackass belonging to the coun-
try people being killed He
said that the letter is now a
matter of record. He has since
then abandoned the idea of
sponsoring such a bill.

Somehow she learned how to
