THE POLITICAL MILL
Internecine Party Strife
By GOULD LINCOLN

Ten days from today all
nominations for Congress
and Governor - except those
in Hawaii-will have been
officially settled by primary
election and State conven-
ton. Rarely have there been
so many bitter contests for
these nominations in both
the Democratic and Republi-
can Parties. After the con-
clusion of these battles, the
parties will have less than
seven weeks to bind up the
wounds they have suffered in
intra-party feuding. The gen.
eral elections fall this year
on November s. Notable ex-
amples of this party feuding
on the Democratic side are
found in New York, Massa-
chusetts. Connecticut, Texas
and South Carolina. In Penn
sylvania, Rhode Island, Vir-
ginia and Maryland, Demo-
cratic candidates have been
nominated only after some
bloody battles. But the DEM
ocrats, over the years. have
been more apt at getting to-
gether to fight the Republi-
can foe.
President Kennedy and
Democratic National Chair
man John NJ. Bailey already
are sparing no efforts to
bring about q united front.
Both have made it clear there
will be no attempt to purge"
any candidate nor failure to
support him when all the
chips are down-no matter
whether he has supported
the administrators pet pro-
grams or not. This is not
to deny, however, they have
used their influence to see
that candidates Of their lik-
ing have been and are to be
nominated for congressional
and gubernatorial office. For
example, they went to bat for
the nomination of Abraham
A. Ribicoff, former HEW
Secretary in the Kennedy
cabinet, for Senator in Con-
necticut. And notwithstand-
ing all the talk of "hands
off" policies in the contests
for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation in New York and the
senatorial nomination in
Massachusetts,, both these
important nominations are
being influenced from WASH
ington.
Victories Vital to Kennedy
The Kennedy administra-
ton is intent upon having
the Democratic Party make
a signal success in the No
vember elections. There are
two reasons. President Ken
nedy wants such a success
to make more certain the
passage in the next Congress,
opening in January. of the
important parts Of his New
Frontier program which he
has been unable to get
through the present top
heavy Democratic Senate and
House. Further. the Presi-
dent is looking forward to
running for a second term in
the White House two years
hence. II the Republicans
should win sweeping VIC
tories in both the congress
sional and the gubernatorial
elections. there would be
grave suspicious that the
President and particularly

Facts On Fishing
Shown By Evaluation

Evauation of the Maryland trout
fishermen on opening day, Sun
day, April Is. revealed interesting
facts TO the Inland Fish Division
The average fisherman spent three
hours fishing and caught a little
over two fish for his efforts. Thirty
five percent of the fish caught
we're brook trout. siXty-three per-
cent rainboWs and two percent
were browns. The stocking sched-
ule prior to the opening day
showed thirty-two percent of the
fish stocked were brooks and sixty
eight percent we're rainbows The
two percent catch of brown trout
were carry-overs from the previous
year.
OF the ten counties stocked with
trout, fifty percent of the fisher
men we're from their own county.
thirty-nine percent were from out
side of the county and eleven per-
cent were non-residents of the
state
Apparently the majority of the
trout fishermen are between the
ages of Is and 65 only percent
made up the age group under 16.
and the oldsters contributed two
percent
The frequency of fishing for
trout indicated that eleven percent
of the fishermen were new. having
fished for the first time, twenty
one percent fished one to four
times; thirteen percent fished four
to eight times; eleven percent
fished eight to ten times and forty
four percent fished more than ten
times.
The faVorite months for trout
fishing according to Maryland
anglers was April, May and June,
which accounted for eighty-siX per-
cent of the preferred months.

Bv GROUCHO MARX
with Leslie Lieber

LIN WORRIED about what's happened to the art Of
ad-libbng We crow lot about preserving freedom
of speech in this country But we're not preserving
it - re canning it. As a nation we speak assem-
blylne, pre-cooked, instant English. We trade in
our old cars every year, but we don't trade in our
old cliches.
To help raise our standards, I'd like to review
the greatest ad Ibis, the othecu cracks that have
made history.
1t isn't easy, because no one really knows for
sure who said what when. Take that unknown
Mesopotaman, for instance, who went to the barber
shop one day around 1000 BIC.
How do you want your hair cut?" asked the
barber.
I'm silence" replied the customer.
That ancient Mesopotamian had coined an
ad lib that has since been attributed to every
irascible wit from Voltaire to Monty WoOlley.
In an effort to give credit where credit is due,
and to bolster my memory, I've asked some OF my
contemporaries to recall their own favOrite ad Ibis OF
yesterday and today. Here the results of the poll
- the worlds first lib encyclopedia
Shaw squeIcIes AeckIer
The Mst name ON nearly everyone ISL ""o
C. b. Shaw. From a stack Of Shavian reports, my
favorites are these:
One night the red.bearded literary giant was
pouring out some vitrioic Shavian opinions on
subject dear to the heart Of in the lecture
hall audience Suddenly she stood up and shouted.
eff you were my husband I'd poison you"
Madame, if l were your husband" roared
Shaw, I'D take pOisOn!'
That toxic squelch has since been attributed to
whole gaggle Of wags, including Bill Summers an
American League umpire, who is reputed to have
yelled it at a bumptious shrew at Yankee Stadium.
\ On another occasion at London party -
dancer Isadora Duncan, whose beauty was the toast
of Europe, slithered up to CHS. and proposed,
half-seriously, that they get married.
