The researchers report
pointed to the metropolitan
areas and certain parts of the
South as targets for special
Republican effort in the years
ahead.
High priority should be given
to strengthening Republican
organizations in the metropoli-
tan areas, it said, because the
greatest Republican fall-off in
1860 came in the big cities and
their suburbs.

gains in this group because the
1860 election had drained much
of the emotionalism from the
religious issue"
They cited these evidences of
a strong Catholic shift to Mr..
Kennedy in 1860:
/. The Gallup Poll reported
that the percentage of Catho-
lies voting Republican fell from
A per cent in 1852 and 49 per
cent in 1856 to % per cent in
1860, while the Republican per-
centage among ProtestantS held
steady at 50 or SO per cent.
2. In 80 of SO counties where
the population is more than so
per cent Catholic, the drop in
Republican strength from 1856
to 1860 was greater than the
national average. The same
was true in 81 Of rs counties
where the Catholic population
is between 40 and so per cent.
But in 86 counties with less
than As per cent Catholic pop
ulation, the Republican per-
centage increased in SO, fell
less than the national average
in 38, and fell more than the
national average in only IL.
3. Even in depressed areas,
where Republican losses were
general. the extent of the loss
was influenced by the size of
the Catholic population. In 6
areas of chronic unemployment
with more than 80 per cent
Catholic population, the loss
ranged from 1877 to 1858 per
cent. In 9 areas of chronic
unemployment having less than
80 per cent Catholic popula-
ton. the loss ranged from IL
per cent to TT per cent.
4. All but of IL big cities
where the population is more
than one-third Catholic, had
a Republican fall-off greater
than the national average,
while the decline was less than
the national average in all but
l of 10 big cities with less

ulation.

BaiIeyCites
Non-CityG Gains
By Democrats

MINNEAPOLIS, April 8
(AP). - Democratic National
Chairman John M. Bailey said
tonight Republicans not only
have a problem in the big city
vote, but had better watch out
for Democratic gains in rural
areas and the suburbs.
He said in a speech prepared
for a dinner winding up a
Midwest party conference that
the Democrats polled the
strongest non-urban spring
election vote in history in the
Michigan State election last
Monday.
"We carried areas we never
carried before" he said. I'VE
had candidates for local office
in areas where the Republicans
used to win by default. These
are good omens."
AS for the suburban vote,
Mr.. Bailey said:
1--WE haven't solved that
problem yet, but if were Re-
publican chairman I would be
looking nervously over my
shoulder at Democratic gains
there. Nationally Tin 1960) we
raised our suburban vote from
37.8 per cent to 48.6 per cent.
I'm the Midwest, Cleveland,
st. Louis and Detroit suburbs
gave majority votes to the Ken
nedy-Johnson ticket. Chicago
and Minneapolis-St. Paul sub
urbS went Republican. The
Cleveland suburban vote went
up from 37.7 in 1856 to SOL in
1860. The Chicago suburbs went
from 800 to Ali. So the
suburbs aren't hopeless Repub-
lican strongholds."

BY DAVID S. BRODER
Star Staff Writer

The research division of the
Republican National Committee
said Yesterday the "so-called
religious issue" boosted Presi-
dent Kennedy to victory in 1860
and its elimination will help
give Republicans a good
chance" to win back the White
House in 1854.
In their detailed statistical
analysis Of the 1860 voting,
the G. o. P. researchers found
that "anti-C Catholicism certain
ly cost Mr.. Kennedy large
numbers of votes, but it prob
ably cut most deeply in States
that are not among the giants
in the electoral college and
in one-party States in which
a Democratic candidate can
suffer a substantial vote loss
without losing the State"
On the other hand, they con-
cluded. "the most obvious and
dramatic switch" in the 1860
voting, as compared to that of
1852 and 1856, occurred among
Catholics. Where approximate
ly so per cent of the Catholic
voters balloted for President
Eisenhower in 1856, probably
fewer than 25 per cent voted
for Vice President Nixon in
1860. the study found.
See Emotion Removed
This switch, particularly no.
ticeable in the big electoral
vote States of the Northeast,
accounted for three-quarters of
Mr.. Kennedy's 8-million vote
gain over the 1856 standard
bearer, Adlai E. Stevenson, the
Republican researchers said.
IF many Catholics voted for
President Kennedy in order to
end a custom which seemed to
bar one Of their faith from the
highest office in the United
States" the study said, their
action was understandable and
:. predictable. Now that the
barrier has been removed. We
can expect that a false issue
has been eliminated from the
political arena, and that we
shall never again go through a
campaign like that of 1860"
Looking ahead to 1864, the
researchers said, Republican
chances to win the White
House . are good" They
pointed out that the 26 States
carried by Mr.. Nixon will have
229 electoral votes in 1864.
Nine others in which the Re-
publican nominee lost but re-
ceived more than 40 per cent of
the vote will have 122 more
electoral votes. Together, they
will contain 351 electoral votes
81 more than the needed ma
jority.
Another SO electoral votes
will be available in five States
in which Mr.. Nixon received
more than 46 per cent of the
votes and which Mr.. Eisen-
hover carried in 1852 and 1856.
Hold Optimistic View
The 1864 elections, the re-
port said, will offer Republi-
cans "the best chance of recent
years" to recapture control of
the Senate. Twenty-Five Dem
ocrats face reelection that
year and cnly eight Republic
cans.
The report was more cau-
tious in discussing 1862 pros
poets. 1t put the likely maxi
mum Republican gain in the
Senate at nine seats, which
would still leave the G. o. P.

DEAR ABBY: My wife and
I are having a disagreement
that needs settling. We know
a couple who have been mar
ried about a year. We at

He keeps saying, MY wife

you and your wife because
you haven't paid us a visit

When I tell my wife this, she
says, IF they want us over,
his wife should call me and

I can't tell this to the man,
can I? Is 1t our place to call
them up and invite ourselves

until they call us? What is

includes the SCI billion of in

other fixed charges which do
not appear in any appropria-
