WILLIAM S. WHITE

For the first time, really,
since another November of a
year ago, home politics has
become an important topic
again in Washington.
1t is good to see this old
timer back, if only because
the whole of the national po-
htical community has so long
been so feverishly tired from
the unending strain of SEEM
ingly endless foreign crises.
Now, amid all the anxious
speculation about what may
happen in East and West
Berlin toward the beginning
Of the year 1862, there is re-
newed speculation about
what may happen in congress
sional races in East and
South and West toward the
end of the year 1862.
The fact that this country
is turning at least some of its
attention back to the tradi-
tional subject of its own pol
itics is far from unwise. And
it is far from accidental.
There is something deeply
reaSsuring in the spectacle of
a present President, John F.
Kennedy, and a former Pres
ident, Dwight D. Eisenhower.
soberly journeying separately
into New York and New Jer-
sey to campaign for the Off
year local candidates of their
separate parties.
For this is more than a
pleasantly homely ritu a
again establishing the enor-
nous fact that in the gravest
world crisis of history the
two-party system remains in
tact in this country, with all
its rights of criticism and
countercriticism. Also quietly
re-established before the peo-
pie is the equally enormous
fact that though this is not
an ancient land as ancient
lands go, it's method of free
government is one of the old
est and most powerful sue
cesSes in this world.
What President Kennedy
and former President Eisen-
hover have been about, in
deed, is something more thar
simply trying to put ovel
this or that local candidate
in New York, in New Jersey
or wherever. One Of the ef-
fects of their politicking -
in the true sense far the
most important of all these
effects - is to recall to the
minds of the people a great
truth:
This is a country Of a lonG

had the best organiza-
ton while Democrats were
splintered.
National Democratic divi-
dends are many. President
Kennedy, who Endorsed Mr..
Gonzalez, will get a secure
House vote he badly needs
and can enjoy evidence Of
popularity in the county he
carried narrowly last year.
The Vice President and
Mrs. Johnson did more than
pull together a real State
wide show Of support for Mr..
Gonzalez. including Gov.
Daniel and United States
Senator Marlborough. They
took the rather perilouS
course of entering the county
to campaign actively, and
proved their effectiveness.
This is more than pleasant.
It gives Mr.. johnson a text
for preaching party unity in
the battle to dam the surg
ing Republican tide in Texas.
1t is vitally important to Mr..
Kennedy and Mr.. johnson
in 1864 and to Mr.. johnson
in 1868 that the party keep
control of the big, rich State.

Congress. 1t could even be

second extra inning with grand
slam h m run to give the
Moose at 1873 win over the RO-
tary.
The score was tied II at the
end of six mn ngs. Carson
Smacked a homer in the top of
the sixth, but the Rotary came
back with three runs in the bot
tom of the sixth to tie the score.
The three Rotary runs came
on a walk, passed balls and sim
giles by Kernodle. Campbell and
Farley.
Both teams scored one run in
the seventh innin but the
eighth was the big inning for the
Moose.
In the second game Thursday
night. the Lions came from be-
hind to win rs from the Jay

one run in the bottom of the
sixth. Myrick and Yeats SIN
gled with Jaycee error to load

across two runs in the sixth to
tie the game up. Their runs
came on three walks and sin
giles by CAN'T and Cook.
They got two more in the
seventh with two men out. A
walk and a hit batsman put two
men in scoring position. and
CAN'T raped out his second sin
gle in two trips to the plate to
score the winning two runs.
In the second game it was a
high scoring affair that could
have gone either way. The Lions
got 20 runs, scoring in every
inning, while the Rotary struck
for 13.
The Lions got nine runs in the
first two innings, and the Ro-
tary came back with seven in
the second. The Lions added five
