Campaign Notes: Florida
illustrates a present fact Of
life in a presidential cam
paign which may already be
decided or which may teeter
in the balance of minds not
yet made up.
Florida's local Democratic
leaders are beginning to
speak out for the party.
Where, but a week or so ago,
they were as silent and sui
lenly torpid as an Ever
glades gator, they now are
at least going through the
motions of working, not
merely for State nominees
but for the national ticket
as well.
This may not be enough.
Mr.. Nixon's strength in Dade
County, which casts q large
chunk Of the total vote, Is
high. There are large pools
Of g. o. P. strength in all
urban areas Of Florida.
Those who are. and have
been in charge Of promotion
for Kennedy johnson have
been more concerned with
their future political status
than with the ticket.
We see here one of the
problems for Southern
Democrats in the Develop
ment Of a second party.
Many candidates, or probable
ones, seeing the increase in
Republican strength, become
almost bipartisan. They want
the Democratic label. But
they do not want to offend
anyone who might give them
opposition.
Senator Smathers' prob
lem illustrates 1t well. He
must run again in two years.

made a vigorous swing UP
and down the State in an

Political Fate Of the South

Many Southern newspapers.
hitherto backing . long line
Of Democratic presidential
nominees. have come out for
Mr.. Nixon. This may be one
reason why news dispatches
from the South in recent
weeks say there are many
doubtful" States.
One thing attracting at
tention is the attitude Of Me-
gro voters. One report is that
Richmond, Va, for instance,
may be strongly Democratic
this time because Of the Ne
gro vote. Certainly, this Is a
surprise, but the Republicans
may be in for more surprises
when they examine the Ne|
gro vote in several Northern
States. Despite all the Re-
publicans did at Little Rock
and about school integration
and Notwithstanding what
they have done through the
Department Of Justice to,
help the Negroes In the South
on voting rights. the North
ern Negroes do not appear to
be grateful politically. It is
reported that In New York
City, for instance. the Demo-
cratic ticket viii get. the
largest support in years from
the Negro voters. ,
The defeat of Republican
nominees for Congress and
the election Of more and
more Democrats from the So
called liberal side in the
North will. of course, weaken
the coalition If a Democratic
President is elected.
The people Of the South
are doubtless weighing all
these factors, and that's why
there is so much talk this
year about a close election in
the South. A few years ago
the people Of South Carolina
elected q Senator on q write
in basis. defeating the regu-
lar party nominee. The re-
suit was attributed to the in
fluence Of newspapers as
against the local party Or
ganization. Not the least in
teresting Of the stories that
will be written after election
day from different parts Of
the country will be the ex-
planation Of what the people
Of the South did at the polls.

lens without number to re-

It Is q major, probably
crucial test Of his leadership
Of hiss party and of public,
opinion. The time Is Short
and the moment Of truth less
than two weeks away.
The Vice President came
here this week to speak at an
AL Smith memorial dinner
and to prepare for what he
insists will be the last tele-
cast debate with Senator
John Kennedy and a whirl-
wind finish of his campaign.
He has been hit with q packet
Of grim news about this cru
Scial State and others, plus
massive criticism from within
his party of the manner in
which he has been conduct
ing his campaign.
Republican candidates and
their managers complain he
has failed to establish a clear
line Of defense against Sem
ator Kennedy's charges
which they themselves can
explain and support. They
are querulous about the Sem
ator's appeal and apparently
blame Mr.. Nixon for failing
to clobber him. as they were
sure he would. The Vice

Senator. But now Senator
Smathers' position is some
what easier. He has COM
pany. It may not be enough.
But hope, which thrives for
a time in the thinnest sort
Of soil. is rising in Florida.
The Democrats will now
make a fight Of it.
The edge remains with
the Vice President and pres
ent indications are it is sub
stantial. But the long-silent
Democrats at last are active.
Why? Because they think
Senator Kennedy may win.
There was a period after the
national convention when the
opinion down in Dixie was
that the platform, especially
on civil rights, had doomed
the ticket. But after a while
1t became apparent the
COP. platform was even
more emphatic.
The religious issue was at
its hottest public flame in
the weeks following the Les
Angeles sessions. Resent
ment against Senator Lyndon
johnson was also at its peak,
The politicians of the South
then thought Senator Ken
nedy couldn't make it. But,
now, the single most sig
nifieant straw in the Demo-
cratic Party wind is the
rising support in the South.

magic" can be wholly trars-
ferred to Mr.. Nixon. But
these managers do suppose
that enough can be rubbed
on on Dick" to assist him
materially among on-the-
fence Democrats.
This at any rate is the
whole basic reasoning behind
the Presidents current NON
political" speaking trip. And
the old-line orthodox Repub-
licans are happy at last that
the President for eight years
has been what, in angry
Illustration, they used to call
so blankety blank bipartisan.
For he is now able to present
himself as a national rather
than a mere party leader
and so what he says for Mr..
Nixon is worth twice as much
as otherwise it would have
been.
And beneath this general
purpose of the President lie
two very specific ones: To
hold California for Mr.. Nixon.
To take Texas away from
Senator Kennedy and his
runningmate, Senator Lyn-
don B. johnson of that State.
An Eisenhower deep in the
heart of Texas is an Eisen-
hover driving, in his amiable
way, straight for the heart Of
an old friendly enemy, Lyn-
don Baines johnson.
These are the curious, the
ironical, facts: The Republi-
can presidential nominee. Mr..
Nixon, needs in his home
State the help of a native
Texan, late a Kansan and,
now a citizen of Pennsyl-
vania, called Eisenhower. The
Democratic vice presidential
nominee, the most powerful
politician ever to rise up in
Texas. would be most happy
to do without the visit back.

Viewed Under Test of Leadership

President was never that
confident. though 1t is now
clear that he did underesti-
mate Senator Kennedy at
the start.
The initial Nixon reaction
Is, by any objective test,
weak. He is appearing in
public only briefly and in
friendly forums. His press
encourage has not for weeks
been able TO talk to him;
! their petition signed by 80
reporters for q press confer
ence here has been refused.
Others are speaking in the
party'S name on controver-
sial matters. such as Admiral
Arthur w. Radford on Que
moy, and Matsu; Mr.. Nixon
has no comment. The Nixon
press secretary, Herbert
Klein, opened a session with
reporters by saying that since
doubts had arisen about q

polls to quote to them. The
polls were not impressive nor

hold ONCE or are candidates
for ONCE on the Democratic
ticket this autumn-is that
support must be given to the
party as such and that In
this way the influence Of the
South. through the seniority
system in Congress. will be
preserved.
Many Of the professionals Is
know they are going against
local sentiment, but they feel
1t is expedient for them to be
recorded in favor Of the
Democratic ticket. In some
instances, there are states of
independent electors on the
ballot. the assumption being
that. in b close race in the
electoral college, these States
may hold the balance of
power.
The truth is that the peo-
pie Of the South have before
them q critical decision. They
would like to support their
local political leaders, who,
in the main. have borne the
brunt Of the civil rights
struggle. But the big ques-
ton Is whether the coalition
of conservative Republicans
and Southern Democrats in
Congress will be preserved in
the event Of a Kennedy vic
tory, or whether the diSSolu-
ton Of the bipartisan comhi-
nation is likely.
Actually, the coalition
means even more on a con-
Servative or, radical basis
than it does in the civil
rights controversy. The South
is for the most part conserv-
ative. It's businessmen fear
the rise Of the labor monop-
oily because many Southern
plants will not be- able to
compete with Northern buSi-
nesses II unionization be-
comes extensive and new
labor laws giveO the unions
more and more power.
But, Notwithstanding these
fears, the fact is that Demo-
cratic Party leaders in the
South are for the most part
supporting the Kennedy
Johnson ticket this time, and
1t viii be interesting to see
the extent to which the
voters follow those leaders.

diamonds and East took two
diamond tricks. East then re-
turned a trump, and the A.
nesse lost to Vests king. Now
South needed the rest of the
tricks.
BY this time you've probably
seen how South can make his
contract. He must finesse
through East for the queen
Of spades and run four spade
tricks. since the suit breaks 3-3.
This enables him to discard a
club on dummy's last spade.
That's how the hand is
played on paper, and that's
also how it would be played at
most tables. The actual play
didn't go that way, for the
simple reason that East had
a touch Of larceny in his make
/ up.
Deceptive Play
South drew trumps and led
the eight of hearts to dummy's
nine. The next step was to
lead a low spade from dummy
and fineSse the jack from the
South hand. So far, SO good
Ihen South led out the ace
OF spades. East casually
dropped the queen of spades
on this trick.
This play couldn't hurt East.
South already knew that East
Evening star., 1960-01-29

had the queen Of spades, since
the f1nesse OF the jack of
spades had worked. The queen
and the 10 Of spades were
equal in value after the play
of the jack. If East dropped
the queen he told South moth
ing; if he dropped the 10 he
would give South additional
information.
Mind you South wasn't born
yesterday. He knew that East
might hold the 10 Of spades
even though he had dropped
the queen. But he didn't know
for sure. When the hand was
actually played South finessed
dummy's nine Of spades, losing
to the 10. South might have
guessed right, but he had a
chance to guess wrong. If East
had dropped the 10 of spades
instead OF the queen, South
would have had no chance at
all to go wrong.

81 First Half

NEW YORK. Nov. 3 (AP).-
A survey Of manufacturers
showed yesterday they gen.
orally look for increased orders,
billings and profits in the first
half of 1861 compared with the
like 1860 period.
The National Industrial Con-
ference Board said this was the
expectation of a substantial
majority of 173 concerns polled.
The NICB said more opti-
mism was displayed than in the
fall Of 1857 when the country
was sliding into a recession.
Some comparisons have been
drawn between the current
. period and the autumn Of three
years ago.
, About two-thirds of the COM
panies taking part in the out
, .Jok survey said they antici-
'pated higher or unchanged
order and profits levels. About
one-third looked for a down
turn.
Whereas this year roughly
40 per cent took an optimistic
view, the same percentage of
respondents in a canvass three
years ago expected a decline
in profits.
Halt the participating firms
anticipated higher billings in
the first half Of 1860. In the
fall Of 1857. the proportion was
AZ per cent. NICB reported.
A less encouraging note was
sounded on the matter Of in
ventory levels, with two-thirds
of participants reporting them
larger than at the comparable
time a year ago. In the 1857

the concerns were similarly
