THE POLITICAL MILL
COP. Travels a Hard Road
BY GOULD LINCOLN

The future Of the Republic
can Party for years to come
hinges on the political tenn
per Of the American people
and the candidate of the
G. o. P. for a successor to
President Eisenhower. For
seven years, by virtue Of
President Eisenhower's per-
sonal popularity, the party
has retained its grip on the
executive branch Of the Gov
eminent. 1t has sagged badly
in its representation in Con-
gress and in the number of
State governments it has
been able to control.
If the Republican Party
could elect a President in
1860, however, it would be
easily within the bounds Of
poSsibility-and probability
that it could elect a majority
in the House of Representa-
tives. Due to the fact only
one-third Of the membership
of the Senate comes up for
reelection, it now appears
fundamentally impossible
for the G. o. P. to regain
control of the Senate. Take
a look at the situation. The
present political division of
the Senate is IS Democrats
and 35 Republicans. Twenty
two Democratic S Ia tors
come up for reelection, and
only II Republicans. But 10
of the Democrats who must
seek denomination and re-
election are from 10 of the
IL States of the old solid
South-where election of g
Republican Senator would be
a political miracle.
If the Democrats should
lose all twelve of the other
Senate seats for which they
must contest next year and
held the 10 from the sole
South, they still would have
81 Senators. a majority OF
the 100-member chamber. II
is, of course. unthinkable
that the Democrats would
lose all twelve of their SEN
atorial contests outside the
solid South.
Few Seen Vulnerable
The list includes Senator;
Anderson of New Mexico
Bartlett of Alaska, Douglas
of Illinois, Frear of Delaware
Green of Rhode Island
Humphrey of Minnesota
Kerr of Oklahoma, McNa.
mara of Michigan, Murray
of Montana, Neuberger o.
Oregon, O'Mahoney of Wyo'
ming and Randolph of Yves
Virginia. In view of the dew
astating defeat the Repub'
licans received at the poll
last year-in the congress
sional races-only a few O.
these Democratic Senator
seem at this time vulnerable
On the other hand, a mum
Der of the Republicans whit
are due to come up for re
election may have terrifi
battles to win. Several of tn,
States they represent wer,

Safety Council News

Your bathroom medicine cabinet
may hold prescription for death.
This warning was issued yester-
day by the State Board of Health
and the Delaware Safety Council.
DIR. Mark Kenyon, director of the
boards program for prevention of
Gripping emphasized accident sta
tistics indicate that the bathroom
is one of the most dangerous rooms
for children in the modern home.
Bathroom hazards, he said, in
clude drugs and toxic cosmetics
which can poison unwary children.
In addition, sharp piercing instu-
ments are often stored in the bath
room. Unattended children some
times drown themselves in just a
few inches of water in the bath
tub, or are scalded through play
ing with the hot water faucet
The Board is sponsoring Child
Safety Week this week as a high
light of the year-round program
pushed by both Board and the
Safety Council, to reduce the
tragic toll of accidents to children
in the home.
Mrs. William N. Cam, the coun-
cil's vice president for home safety,
said recent surveys show that 33
per cent of all death to children
under five years of age from home
poisoning result from ingestion of
drugs generally found within easy
reach of exploratory children.
Even ordinary medicines, such
as aspirin and laxatives, which are
harmless when taken as directed,
may become lethal potions for
small children" DR.. Kenyon point
ed out. "All medicines not just
those that carry the familiar
skull and crossbones poison label
should be kept out of reach at all
times. preferably under lock and
key"
Many common cosmetics found
in the bathroom also are poison
Gus when imbibed by children, such
as depilatories, nail polish remov-
er, permanent wave solution, and
perfumes. the two officials said
Sharp instruments, such as faith
er s razor DlaQ0S and mOLner s
manicuring implements also hold
peril for needless tots, he added.
Drowning or scalding in the
bathtub is another common child
hood bathroom accident. Many
small children have perished in a
few inches of water in the bath
tub, while mother went "for just
minute" to answer the phone or
doorbell. Others have been SER
iously or, fatally scalded when
PLAYING with the faucets.
DR.. Kenyon urged that parents
make a thorough check of their
bathrooms to see that all child
hazards are removed To assist in
this. he said that the State Board
of Health has free home safety
checklist which is available to
parents for their use in checking
their entire homes room by room.

Home Garden Cultivation

Frequent cultivation of the home
garden is necessary to control
weeds, Robert Stevens, extension
horticulturist at the University of
Delaware saws. Cultivation also
helms to break the crust on the
surface of the soil and allows air
70. enter. 1t is especially important
during periods of frequent rains
such as often occurs in Delaware
at this time of year.
Don't cultivate too deep, Stevens
said. While the plants are small,
cultivation may be deep in the mid
die of the row. However, as the
season advances, the roots cover
the whole area and cultivation must
be shallow. There is no point in
cutting off half the roots.
Always cultivate shallow close
70 the nlant and when plants are
fllIl grown, decrease the depth on
the whole area.
