If the Republican Party
really wishes to defeat Presi-
dent Kennedy for reelection
in 1864. maybe all that needs
to be done is to take a page
out of the campaign history
Of the Democrats.
Plagiarism perhaps isn't
satisfying-for most politi-
clans like to be original - but
q declaration of the Demo-
cratic Party in one presiden-
tial campaign was so success
full that its argument not
only defeated the incumbent
administration but 1t also
won the electoral votes Of
nearly every State In the
Union.
Turn the spendthrifts
out" was the battle cry in
1882. Democrats pledge at
least 25 per cent reduction
in expenses" was the head
line in protest against deficit
spending. These slogans we're
reproduced in advertising
space In the newspapers
throughout the land. Some
one has just sent to this
correspondent a faded but
readable copy of that par
ticular ad. which was spon-
sored by the Democratic Ma
tional Campaign Committee
and which helped to win the
White House for Franklin D.
Roosevelt, Governor of New
York, against President
Hoover.
All one has to do is to sub
stitute the name of the in
cumbent and multiply the
deficit figures of those days
by two or three times to
bring them up to date. A
change Of wording is also
necessary to remind readers
that 1t is the Democratic
Party which obtained major
ity control for the years from
1854 through 1864.
The pronouncement Of 1882
started with this headline:
"The public pays-your taxes
and Republican exttava-
gance. 1t then went on to
say: When you groan under

Teomsters Get Bonds,
Problem Seems Solved

DETROIT, Feb. 5 (AP). =
Teamsters President James r.
Hoffa's reported bonding prob
lens apparently were solved
yesterday when an Indianapo-
oils bonding firm announced 1t
would write 95 per cent Of the
surety bonds covering Mr..
Hoffa and other national and
local officers Of the union.
Frank Wright, ST., president
OF United Bonding Co., told
reporters here that his firm
would issue bonds UP to Its
capacity Of 100000 per person
and would seek reinsurance
elsewhere for any one needing
bond in excess Of that amount.
Mr.. Hoffa charged last week
that the Justice Department
was exerting pressure on bond
ing companies TO prevent them
from insuring teamsters' funds.
Later. however. he told q con-
gressional committee that he
had no first-hand knowledge
of this.
Present bonds OF Mr.. Hoffa
and fellow Teamster officers ex-
pire Friday and Mr.. Hoffa said
he might be forced TO shut
down all union financial activ-
tiles since the Landrum-Grif-
fin Act requires union officials
TO post bond covering 10 per
cent OF all funds they handle,
II the funds exceed 5000 q
year.
When word came that United
Bonding would provide the
bonds. Mr.. Hoffa was meeting
with Assistant Secretary Of La
Dor James j. Reynolds. Mr..

Suit Would Cut Poy
For PoWeII's Absences

Democratic Representa- iv e
Adam Clayton Powell, the lead
er Of Harlem politics, was faced
yesterday with a law suit charg-
ing that his $22, ,5O0-a-year con-
gressional salary should be cut
Immediately unless he explains
his frequent absences from the
House.
The taxpayer suit is based on
an old and apparently overlook
ed 1856 statute which reads, in
part:
THE Secretary Of the SEN
ate and the Sergeant Arms
of the House, respectively, shall
deduct from the monthly pay
mentS Of each member or dele
gate the amount of his salary
for each day that he has been
absent from the Senate or the

member assigns as the reason
for such absence the sickness OF
himself or of some member oi
his family"

Nurse Scores
InCourtActiOn

The District Of Columbia
Court of Appeals ruled yester-
day that a practical nurse who
was denied a license to serve
In the District deserves more
fair play than she received at
the hands Of the city's Practical
Nurses Examining Board.
Mrs. Claudia Corbett, Al, Of
Silver Spring, claimed that a
rejection of her application for
a license was arbitrary and
therefore an abuse Of discre-
ton" She said the board
turned her down without per-
mitting any kind Of hearing.
Congress enacted a law in
1860, requiring that practical
nurses be licensed, examined
and regulated by the District
government. Mrs. Corbett ap-
piled through a clause in the
bill which said that a nurse
could ask for a license without
taking an examination if she
had been actively engaged in
the District before July 90,
1861, the day the law went
into effect, and If she had
three or more years of expert
ence before the effective date.
Exemption Claimed
Mrs. Corbett said she met
the qualifications covering the
specified work periods, that
she had received adequate
training in Germany and that
she had been in practice since
1856.
The District added up her
work days in the District and
found that she had been en-
ployed only seven and a half
months Of the year before the
law went into effect. The Dis
trict contended that she must
have worked a minimum Of
nine months or 270 days, and
rejected the application.
Mrs. Corbett's attorney, Ger
aid Colin, argued that she was
self-employed. that she was
available for work and that she
necessarily would not have
steady work days in the normal
sense. He said the amount Of
work depends on the number
