Tuesdays elections leave
President John F. Kennedy's
strength as political leader of
his party enhanced-not i'm
paired-and the Democrats
cheering and cheerful about
the outlook for the Congress
sional elections next year and
the presidential election in
1864.
The margin of party sat
tsfaction might easily have
been changed, however, had
James P. Mitchell, Repub-
lican, defeated Richard j.
Hughes, Democrat, in the
New Jersey gubernatorial
race, as many of the politi-
cal observers expected him to
do. For the Republicans made
gains in municipal and State
wide elections in New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Ken
lucky.
The New Jersey guberna-
torial election is another les
son for the Republicans that
their weakness lies particu-
larly in big urban and indus
trial centers. Mr.. Hughes,
the Democrat, rolled up his
victory in them. 1t was in
such centers that President
Kennedy won his close vic
tory a year ago over former
Republican Vice President
Richard M. Nixon. Mr..
Hughes margin of victory
was only about 10000 votes
in a total vote of more than
81 million. 1t was obtained in
the big urban and industrial
centers. For example, he car
ried Hudson County by 40
600, Newark by 10000, Mid
dleSex County by $4,000,
Camden by $4,000, and Tren-
ton by $4,000. Union County
where Mitchell was born
went for the Republicans by
the narrow margin of 5000.
although Republican Senator
Clifford P. Case had carried
that county last year by
$4,000.
Thin Claim by Democrats
The Democrats - especially
National Chairman John M.
Bailey-are claiming that the
victory of Mayor Robert F.
Wagner of New York in his
bid for a third term has de-
cidedly injured the chances
Of Republican Gov. Nelson A.
Rockefeller for reelection
next year. Such claims, how
ever, seem pretty thin. The
Observation-Disclosures candidate
for mayor, Louis j. Lefkowitz,
made a better run for the Of
flee than any Republican
has made in years. With a
three-to-one, or more, Dem
ocratic registration of voters
over the Republicans, Mr..
Wagner led Mr.. Lefkowitz by
about 100000 votes. Control
Ter L. E. Gerosa, running as
an independent Democrat, re-
ceived about 100000 votes
some of which came from Re-
publicanS who believed Mr..
Gerosa was on the side of
saving money.
In other words, by hard
campaigning in the big city,
the Republicans were able to
make a dent in the usual
Democratic majority - Mr..
Wagner won for mayor in
1857 by $4,000 votes over his
Republican opponent. Also,
the Republicans did make

would call it shabby"
We also suspect that he
would protest violently If he
were called on to walk down
four flights of narrow, circular
stairs each time he left his
room. But in Paris? All, he
would say, with a CLINT Of
dreamy adventure in his eye,
one must expect such things in
France.
Hidden Charges
There was one other differ
ence in the Paris hotel. There,
the tax and service charge
brought the bill on the $3.50
room closer to Sc.
Then, having disposed Of the
American hotel operator, the
critic turns his attention to the
restaurateur. In Paris, 1t is
possible to get excellent French
cuisine at moderate prices; In
Munich, it is possible to get
excellent German cuisine at
moderate prices, and In Rome,
it is possible to get excellent
Italian cuisine at moderate
prices.
Here, again, what the critic
says is true-it is as true as it
is that 1t is possible to get ex-
cellent American cuisine in
American restaurants at mod
crate prices.
If I want excellent French
cuisine in an American res
taurant, I am going to have to
pay for it. And II ! want ex-
cellent American cuisine in q
Roman restaurant, I am going
to have to pay for it there too

Many Americans are accus-
toned to budget vacations. If
they weren't, travellers of mod
est means would not have given
us a reputation Of a Nation
on the go.
The American traveller Of ex-
perience knows he does not
have to spend his vacation days
toying with breast of guinea
hen under glass, and lolling in
the luxury of resort hotels.
One point the critics make is
that it is possible in Paris, for
example, to get a clean and
comfortable room with bath at
$3.50 a day.
We agree. But it is also pos
Sible, with perhaps the excep-
ton of New York, to get a
similar clean and comfortable
room in major cities of the
United States.
Nothing Fancy
And that's just what 1t will
be-clean and comfortable. But
let's face it. 1t won't be the Hill

We have had such rooms In

Keep Pace in Houston

HOUSTON, Tex, Jan. 23
W).-The IL Negro school
children who became the first
to attend integrated classes in
Houston kept pace with their
white classmates during the
first semester. a survey by the
Houston Chronicle showed.
The IL Negroes were enrolled
In four classes in three schools
last September to end separate
schooling In what was the
Nations largest segregated
school district. There were no
incidents.
The newspapers survey
showed that the overall aver
age of the IL Negro first
graders was C during the
semester which ended Friday.
The overall average for in
tergrated classes as a whole
was C, school Supt. John
Mcfarland said. He refused to
discuss individual grades.
Mr.. MaFarland said some of
the white pupils made all AS
and some failed some subjects.
The best report card among
Negroes was a straight B card,
the survey showed. Two of the
Negroes failed reading and both
are borderline pupils in arith-
metic. the survey said.
A city-wide test given to
first graders last June showed
the average for all-white first
graders was B and the overall
average for Negro first grades
was c.
The IL Negro first graders
did worse In arithmetic in the
integrated classes than did the
first graders in all Negro
schools, the survey showed.
