THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

when the peasant father
throws the hero's book about
Napoleon into the river. to
the last bitter episode Of the
murder in the cathedral. this
is a wonderfully told story.
one of the many glories Of
French literature.
-
Odds and ends of informa-
ton, as we say. may be picked
up by any astute reader in
any big daily in the land.
One must specify big dali
lies, because they have more
space. There is hidden away,
at least to the hurried reader.
much amazing information,
some of it of the chit-chat
variety but nonetheless in
teresting.
In the older days of The
Evening Star. for instance,
much small filler, as it is
called, was used.
Most Of it was about
animals.
In those days there was an
exchange editor. whose duty
it was to read the papers from
other cities and cut out Just
such interesting items.
often the exchange editor
was some superannuated en-
ploye who might have been
retired. but wasn't.
He had a shock OF white
hair. and usually carried a
big cigar stuck in his Jaw. and
may have had a big pitcher
Of water on his desk. at his
DOCTORS ofders.
He couldn't do much ex-
cept sit and read, and this he
did all day long. surrounded
by big piles Of papers. his
scissors shipping away relent-
lessly.
He wore soft padded slip
pers, and while you were typ
ing away furiously. he would
sneak up on you and drop
a clipping on your desk.
Thought this might In
terest you" said Old Sam.
Readers Of the paper knew
nothing about Sam, but they
we're the beneficiaries Of his
skill at selection.
The day Of the small item
is waning. but 1t still appears,
and is often rewarding.
For instance, do you know
the plural Of Rolls-Royce2
You want to buy one Rolls
Royce at $13.75O. but suppose
you want three? You would
say to the man, Give me
three Rolls-Royce, please,
just like that. and you would
be right. All Of this we learn
through reading q small item.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Gov. Williams in Spotlight Tuesdoy
BY GOULD LINCOLN

The Republicans are pluoE-
ing up courage In Michigan.
They have seen farm income
go up this year. and they be-
lieve rural Michigan win

signs Of improving business
conditions. even in the auto
mobile industry. have heart
ened them. Further. they be-

the wives Of the auto work.
ers. nor indeed with the
workers themselves In many
instances.
The Democrats. on the
other hand. are hoping to
make political hay out Of the
recession. II seems probable
they will succeed. Many COM
munities have been hard hit
by unemployment. The Dem
ocratic speakers win charge
that the Eisenhower admin
iStration was responsible.
They viii say the admin
istration sat on its hands
last year and did nothing TO
help ward of the recession
or. certainly. unemployment.
williams 1860 Chances
Gov. Williams chances for
a presidential nomination in
1860 rest on the decision Of
the Democrats whether TO
pick as their candidate q
liberal Democrat or q mid
dle-of -the-roader. He is q
liberal. with strong labor
support.
The liberal Democrats Of
the North and West are in
the saddle when 1t comes to
selecting the party's national
ticket. There have been signs
during the last two years
that the liberal wing will
insist on a man like Gov.
Williams of Michigan, Harri.
man of New York or Meyner
Of New Jersey for the presi-
dental nomination, even II
they have to tell the con-
sentative South where to get
of. There has been building
up a real struggle between
the liberal and conservative
Democratic wings. The lib
erals, followers Of the second
Roosevelt and Truman, are
intent on holding on to the
labor and Negro vote. which
they had strongly for 20 con-
Secutive years.
Nevertheless, it would be
a serious loss. If it happened,
for the Democrats to lose
States of the solid South. as
they have done in the last
three presidential elections.
Time and again. it was the
South which really kept the
Democratic Party alive, with
their big blocs of Democratic
Senator's and Representa-
tives. Southern Democrats
have grown increasingly re-
bellious because Of the i'm
sistence Of their Northern
brethren on fostering COM
plete indignation of the races
and because of other too
liberal programs. The over
whelming denomination Of
Gov. Faubus Of Arkansas is
another warning sign.
If the liberals have their
way in the 1860 national con-
vention, Gov. Williams may
well be the presidential
nominee.

until the general election IN
November. But the stage will
be set Tuesday.
In the same primary. the
two major parties will NOM
mate candidates for the Sem
ate. The Republican choice
will be incumbent Senator
Charles E. Potter. The Dem
ocratS will nominate 1t. Gov,
Philip A. Hart who, like Sem
ator Potter. was crippled in
the Second World War. He
married into one of the
wealthiest families in the
State. the Briggs family. one
Of whom owned the Detroit
Baseball Club. He will have
plenty Of financial backing for
the campaign. In addition. he
is well liked. Although he
is not as closely tied in with
Walter Reuthef. head Of the
Automobile Workers Union
and is regarded as more
conservative. 1t is expected
that both the Governor and
Mr.. Reuther will go down
the line for Mr.. Hart.
Michigan 10 Be Watched
Indeed, it will be a partic-
ular ambition of Gov. Will
liams to elect a second Dem
ocratic Senator from Mich
igan. When the Governor
ran for reelection in 1854
he took along with him to
victory Senator Mcnamara
the first Democratic Senator
the State had had for q
number of years. One OF
Gov. Williams claims for
preferment on the Demo
cratic national ticket two
years hence rests on the
ground that, starting 9
dozen years ago, he has beer
able to build up a strons
party in the State. which is
usually reckoned Republican
by a considerable margin.
Even today, Republicans
hold IL of the States House

Top op1Conlgression;all n; Posts Will Be Unchanged

WASHINGTON, R - Southern Democrats will retain the bulk of Senate and House committee chairmanships in the new 86th Congress, but Southern conserva- tives probably will find their in fluence diluted.
 With the Democrats sharply in creasing their control of both branches in Tuesdays voting, the top committee posts in nearly all cases will remain firmly in the hands of the men who held them in the 18th. In many instances, these men have been chairmen for years.
 s In the Senate, this means that g of the 16 standing committee chairmanships will remain with southerners. In the House, the South will keep 12 of the 19 posts. The chairmanships go strictly by seniority.
 The only change in chairman ships forced by the election in either branch involves the House Interior Committee. Representa- tive Clair Engle 'D-Calif) who headed it in the 85th Congress, was elected to the Senate. Ex- pected to replace him is Represen- tative Wayne N. Aspinal D-Col0.
 The election of many more Democrats from the North and West seems certain to cut down the power of the South in the committees, which can make or break legislation.
 Particularly will this be true in the Senate, where the Democrats have had only one-vote margins on committees for four years.
 With the Democrats holding a 62-34 edge in the 1859 Senate, not counting the two seats from Alaska to be filled November 25, their committee margins will in- crease materially. 'o
 In most cases, there will be 10-5 or 9-6 on the 15-member com mittees. With such lineup, the vote of one dissenter from party policy will not be too important.

Nixon To Spearhead New COP Drive
 For More Popular l960 Candidates

cial canvass determines whether Representative Charles W%Vur- sell R.-Ill0 or Democrat. George E. Shipley won a nip-and-tuck contest.
 The undecided Nebraska gov ernor race hinges on a count of mail ballots, which could upset the lead Democrat Ralph G. Brooks now holds over Republican Gov ernor Victor E. Anderson. A Brooks victory would give the Democrats 34 state governorships to IA for Republicans.
 Looking toward 1860, Nixon is expected to bear down in attempts to get attractive, youthful aspir- ants into races for Congressional and state offices as means of helping the national ticket.
 Nixon knows well that the COP candidate who won the most spec tacular of the few COP victories had youth and a pleasing person ality going for him. That was Nelson A. Rockefeller, who won the governorship of New York and thus moved into ranking as Nixon's top potential opponent for the 1860 Presidential nomina- ton.
 Nixon also may bring some in fluence7 to bear toward reshap- ing of some of the Administra- tion's policies which seem to have helped bowl over Republican o,nIi<f,foc -i--i Ns-s 4~t+-s .s..'-t---
 Staggering Republican losses in theFMidwestern farm belt could contribute to some change in farm policies, despite Eisenhower's pre- diction that Secretary of Agri- culture Benson's program of tap ering off government aid to farm CTS will go along unchanged.

NorwegiIa7ln1us To Build Polar
 Route Airfield

OSLO, R-Norwegians all over the country are offering to buy shares in the company formed to build an airfield at Norway's Arc tic Ocean island group Spitsber- gen.
 The president of the company, Gunnar Sverre Pedersen, said yesterday that work will start next summer on the first stage IF a 5,OO0-foot runway that can be extended to 10000 feet.
 The company was formed two weeks ago to build the airfield in readiness. for increased Polar passenger and freight air traffic.
 The airfield would shorten the longest jump on the Polar route from. Europe to the Far East to 1900 nautical miles, thus making it possible to use planes of fairly short range.

California's Gov. Knight Proved His Point ;

LOS ANGELES, R-sI wanted to make this fight to prove that I was right And l proved it.
 The proof, Governor Goodwin J.. Knight told an interviewer, was that he received more votes in losing the us. Senate race than his fellow Republican, Senator William F. Knowland, also un- successful, got in the governor ship contest.
 Nearly complete returns gave Knight 2,054,528 to 2,634,496 for the Democratic winner, Represen- tative Clair Engle.
 Knowland ran nearly one mil lion behind the states new Demo cratic Governor Edmund C.. Brown. The vote was, Brown .2,958, ,997; Knowland 1,972,677.
 Knight was relaxing in his hotel suite few hours after conceding the Senatorial election to Engle. He talked freely of the Knight ,Knowland rift.
 q warned the Republicans not once but many times that if they succumbed to the temptation of making an attack on the working people of California, they would be the losers," Knight said.

B JACK BELL

WASHINGTON, R - Vice President Nixon is taking charge of efforts to rejuvenate the dis organized Republican Party. He is likely to put the accent on youth in doing so. q
 IT Although Nixon won't bear any such official designation as party commander, President Eisenhower obviously is stepping out of the way to let his second man direct the drive. Its aim is to lift the party back into contention in the 1860 Presidential contest, V after is shattering defeat in Tuesdays election h
 At his news conference We'd nesday, Eisenhower endorsed Nixon's call on party members to ettart now to campaign for 1860. The action apparently gave hardly needed go-ahead to the Vice President to take over the COP political throttle As top COP Presidential prospect, Nixon has a personal interest there.
 Retcrns from the balloting showed the Republicans lost 13 Senate seats while gaining none. and were busted from 48 House seats while overturning only one Democrat One Illinois post was still undecided.
