this is the first time that

The top candidates will of

seminar type discussion
meetings on the subject -
under the title, STRATEGY for
Peace will be the special
project of Democratic women.
Mrs. Abernethy, who al
ready has arranged leader
ship conferences on the sub
ject in several States to serve
as models, hopes the idea will
fan out into hundreds of
communities before election
day.
Here Tomorrow
The first such conference
will be held here at the Wom-
ans National Democratic
Club tomorrow. Representa-
tive Chester Bowles, one of
Senator Kennedy's top for
eign policy advisers, will
speak, and there also will be
workshop sessions.

The idea has met with won

country, according to Mrs.
Abernethy. "They tell us they
have just been waiting for
something like this-a
meaty issue they could really
get their teeth into"
The issue is a natural for
women. the Michigan poll
tico believes. Every woman
is more interested in peace
than in anything else," she
said. And I think the DEM
ocratS have a wonderful
story to tell. But it must be
told at the grass roots, not
just in major policy ad-
dresses.
The story, as Mrs. Aber-
nethy sees it, is briefly this:
"The basis to me of a good
foreign policy is understand
ing the aspirations of the
people of the world. Repub-
licans don't even understand
the people of the United
