THE POLITICAL MILL
G. O. P. Liberals Shot in the Arm
By GOULD LINCOLN

Theodore Roosevelt; Senator
Hiram johnson Of California
and Gov. Frank Lowden Of
Illinois. These candidates
deadlocked the convention.
The dominant conservative
Republican S Senators. the
leaders at this convention
among them Boise Penrose Of
Pennsylvania-came UP with
Senator Harding. Senator
Harding won, not because he
was a conservative, but be-
cause the country was sick
Of war and did not like in
Movement in international
affairs via the. League of
Nations, advocated by Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson.
Liberals on Increase
The conservatives still hold
their majority among Repub-
lican Senators. but the liberal
group has been on the in
crease. This division in the
Senate Republican ranks may
well find 8 or 10 voting &C.
caSionally for some of the
liberal measures presented by
President-elect Kennedy to
the next Congress-like med
ical care for the aged, Fed
eral aid to education and an
increase in the minimum
wage and aid for the dis
treSSed areas. In fact, some
Of the liberal Republicans are
concerned with giving the
G. O. P. a more progressive
image among the people Of
the great industrial States,
partic ularly Pennsylvania,
New York, New Jersey and
Massachusetts and Connecti-
cut. These are States which
they must carry in the next
presidential election if they
are to win-States which they
failed to win in the recent
national election.
But take it by and large,
1t is expected the Republicans
in both Senate and House
will resist Kennedy programs
which look to very heavy
increases in Federal spending
some of which were prom
ised in the Democratic ma
tional platform - and to
efforts on the part of the
Democratic liberals to further
increase centralized Big Gov
eminent in Washington. And
if they follow this course, the
old coalition between the
conservative Democrats of the
South and the G. o. P. mem
berS in Congress is likely to
find itself very much in oper-
alton again:
The conservative Republic
cans went along with the
nomination of Vice President
Nixon for President this year
princip ally because they
feared that if he did not get
the nomination it would 60
to Gov. Rockefeller Of New
York-whom they considered
a radical. Mr.. Nixon belonged
to the Eisenhower Republican
group, as opposed to the
conservatives. Since dyed-in-
the-wool conservative Repub-
licans do not like Gov.
Rockefeller and view Mr..
Nixon askance. they must
look for a candidate of their
own for 1864. He may be hard
to find.

When Senator Clifford P.
Case carried New Jersey on
November 8 with a lead of
$4,000 votes over his Demo-
cratic opponent, Thorn Lord.
he gave the progressive wing
OF the Republican Party a
shot in the arm. Not only
was his lead in a Statewide
race a record for Republicans,
but he made this record at
the same time the State was
going for Democratic Presi-
dent-elect John F. Kennedy
by $1,000 votes. The Repub-
lican liberals also picked up
another liberal Senator, in
Delaware, when Gov. Caleb
Boggs ousted a conservative
Democrat, Senator j. Allen
Frear, jr. A third victory for
the group occurred in Ken
lucky, where Senator John
Sherman Cooper was re-
elected over his Democratic
opponent, former Gov. Keen
johnson.
The conservative wing of
the G. o. P. in the Senate,
whose most aggressive spokes-
man is Senator Barry Gold
water Of Arizona, points with
pride to the fact that it was
the more conservative States
of the Midwest and West
which rolled up majorities
for Vice President Richard
M. Nixon. The complaint of
Senator Goldwater, however,
is that Mr.. Nixon was not
sufficiently conservative -
that he virtually lost the
election when he journeyed
to New York at the time of
the opening of the Republic
can National Convention last
July and agreed to some of
the demands of Gov. Rookie
teller regarding platform
plankS. Senator Goldwater
and other Republican con-
servatives do not take into
consideration the fact that if
1t had not been for the reli-
gious iSSue-against Senator
Kennedy - the Democratic
President = elect bly,
would have carried a number
Of the Western States which
went to Mr.. Nixon on election
day.
Coolidge Last Conservative
The Republicans have not
nominated a real conservative
for President since 1924 -
when Calvin Coolidge of Mas
sachuSetts, then in the White
House by virtue of the fact
he was Vice President when
President Harding died, had
the nomination without any
real contest. Senator Gold
water may argue that this is
the reason the Republicans
have not elected a President
except for the two Eisen-
hover victories in 1852 and
1956-since Herbert Hoover
won in 1928.
The prize victory for the
conservative wing of the
Republican Party was the
nomination OF the late Presi-
dent Harding in 1920. The
great bulk Of the delegates to
the G. o. P. national con-
vention that year was divided
between Maj. Gen. Leonard
Wood, a devoted friend of

There is a brake on appe-
tite in the brain.
When it goes into action
it can make the very sight of
food repulsive, even fright
ening. This has just been
reported through the Ameri-
can Association for the ADJ
vancement of Science by two
Polish biologists, Drs. w.
Wyrwicka and c. Dobrzecka,
of the Warsaw Institute of
Experimental Biology.
The appetite brake forms
part of the hypothalamus.
the floor of the "old brain"
Of mammals, most of whose
original functions have been
transferred, in the course of
evolution, to higher cerebral
areas. In this part of the
brain, however, still is To-
Gated the appetite CENTER,
electrical stimulation of which
causes an animal to eat to
complete exhaustion. When
this center is destroyed, how
ever, most appetite is lost.
An animal will eat very little,
however hungry.
Centered in "OId Brain"
The brake described by the
Polish biologists, is a minute
area of nerve cells in the
same general area of the in
terbrain, or "old brain" It
appears to act in an exactly
opposite way to the appetite
center, it is shown by the
reported experiments with
goats. They established So
called conditioned re-
sponseS" in hungry goats.
When an animal made a
correct response to signals it
was rewarded with food. Soon
there were only correct re-
SponSeS.

@. Is it true that the origi-
nal document of the Declara-
ton of independence does
not bear that title?-J. o.
A. The words Declaration

pear on the original. This
begins with the words: "In
CONGRESS. July 4. 1776.

of the document come the
words &C. declare, That
these United Colonies are,

varies from country to coun-

also varies with different
commodities. In Malaga,
where it is standard weight
measure for tin, the picul is
equivalent to 1875 pounds.
The word is from the Java

Question: Which is correct:
"Three-fourths Of the ice cream
was eaten" or "Three-fourths
of the ice cream were eaten?
The first sounds right to me
but shouldn't a plural subjecE
like "three-fourths" take a plu-
raj verb?
Answer: If the phrase follow
ing the fraction is singular the
verb should be singular. Three
fourths of the ice cream was
eaten" But if the phrase fol-
lowing the fraction is plural
the verb likewise is plural. Thus:
