GOULD YOU use a watch that strikes the
~ hour and minute2
Andrew T. Pokorny has some that will
do that at the push Of Q button. All you
do Is push and listen.
In fact, Mr.. Pokorny has watches Of all
sorts and sizes that will thus announce
time in the dark. He Is a watch collector,
with some 40 watches and clocks, most Of
them made in England in the 17O0s and
early 1S0Os.
The watch that Mr.. Pokorny likes best
Is q big Job in q 22-carat gold case. It
tells you almost everything-time Of day,
day of month, and month Of year-even
the phase Of the moon.
Yes, you could buy a modern one to
do all this. That is, II you have the $3.50
to spend for 1t. Such modern watch Is
made by lie Coultre,- and is advertised as
the most complicated watch in the world"
Among other Of Mr.. Pokorny's prizes
is an Isaac Rogers three-case watch made
In London in 1750. a gold watch inlaid with
pearls made by Edward Darvin In London
in IT'S, and 22-carat gold chatelaine watch
made In London In 1888 by Nathaniel
Jefferys.
This last one Is suspended on heavy
gold fob along with signet ring and other
items needed in the daily affairs Of an
English gentleman Of the period The
whole thing is made to hang from the belt.
The three-caSe watch was made In
England for the Turkish trade. Its outer
case is Of tortoise shell, and the two inner
cases are Of gold. The three cases were
necessary. according to Mr.. Pokorny, to

given for these Withdrawals have
ranged over q wide area, but in quite
q few cases it il believed the real
reason is q conviction that the trend
away from conservatism is so strong
they would have little or no chance
of reelection.
A third reason is along the same
line. 1t is the belief, widely held, that
the trend is definitely away from
conservatism and NO one who does
not support the liberal program has
chance from hare on. There il NO
real basis for 4 belief. but it il
exerting an eftu1anous influence on
current thinking.
A fourth reason Is the recent pri-
mary In California. 1t had been wide
ly recognized that Knowland would
not have an easy walk-away in that
election, but it had not been expected
that the Democrats would show any
thing like the strength they did. Ger
talnly there are various explanations
Tor the Democrat showing. Among
these are that the Republican party
was badly split, that labor went all
out for knowland's opponent, and SO
forth. These explanations, however,
do not change the result. Neither do
they provide too much ground for
nope In the November election.
A final reason needs to be men.
uoned- American business managers
as a whole are on the conservative
side. Over the past two or three years
they have become more and more
disturbed by the policies being follow
ed In washington. The concern may
not have been justified, but it has
been real nevertheless.
Does this mean that the Conservo-
i've cause is lost and that it is newt.
able that the next Congress be more
TO the left than the present one?
AT present those taking the affirm.
atiVe side of this question appear to
nave the better of the argument. But
IL STILL Is a fairly long time until No.
Vember, and if the believers in the
conservative point of view will ue,
oue ana work - work in politics as
labor leaders are working - there 10
no reason for the complexion of tho
next Congress to shift further to the
ie1e. Money will not do the lob. AL

Trims, under the law, cannot do the

POLITICAL PROSPECTS

1t is still too early for definite fore
casts on the outcome of next Novem-
ber's elections, but there is almost
endless discussion about the political
prospects. Consensus at present In
that, unless something is done. Con-
servatives will suffer one of the worst
defeats in many years.
Note that we say Conservative"
not Republicans or Democrats. The
reason for this Technology is that
some of the best Conservatives xre
Democrats, and some of the more
extreme so-called liberals are Repub-
icans.
Among reasons for this pessimism
on the Conservative outlook. first
place probably must be given to the
recession. Among the New Fair
Dealers no opportunity is missed to
blame the current business downturn
upon the Eisenhower Administration.
The liberal Republicans are not
quite so outsspoken in this regard,
but many of them have little good to
say for the Administration, and es-
pecially for the manner in which it
handled problems arising from the
recession.
The same song is being sung by
many others Leon Keyserling, Presi-
dent Humans Chairman of the Coun-
Gil of Economic Advisers, and Robert
Nathan, of the Americans for Demo
cratic Action, are two cases in point.
Many labor leaders, of whom Walter
Reuther is one example, are joining
in the refrain. Apparently a supstan>
tial proportion of the public believes
this story.
The fact is that the Eisenhower
Administration did not cause the re-
cession. Neither did the Federal he
serve Board, which frequently liz
charged with having brought on the
downturn by its money poncy Ana
neither can be justly criticized TO.
having failed to try to meet the prot
lens caused by the recession Al am
criticism is due it is on the basis that
both the Administration and the l.c.
erve Board have been too prone to
take action.
A second reason for the Conserva-
uVepessimism is that labor leaders
left-wingers, and the Democrat Ma
tional Committee smell great victory
and are working the highways and
byways to assure it. On the other
hand, the more conservative element
Is inclined to take it easy and there
has been a considerable number of
Conservative members of the Con-
gress who have announced they will
not run for reelection. The reasons
