Conceivably some of these professionals may now have reverted to their former attitudes toward Kefauver. But he may, too, have made some friends for keeps in important places. It would be hard to imagine that the ambitious Tennessean does not consider this prospect-sufficien- t to justify a third bid for the Democratic nomination in 1960. Another possibility is young Sen. John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts, who nearly beat Kefauver to the vice presidential tape at Chicago in 1956. He took defeat with such grace and good sportsmanship that his party standing since then seems greatly enhanced. He is in tremendous demand everywhere as a speaker, but is concentrating on his home state, where he must run again in 1958.

It is for that reason that I am going to give Colonel de la Meziere all the advice I can." "Yes, Colonel Larg," said Georges firmly. "Right," said Allan.

So long as Allan stuck to his narrative all was plain sailing; but when he reached the point? where he must describe his talk with Georges Fernana in the boat, he realized that his difficulties were about to begin. For although de la Meziere had no personal experience of Seknou, i was evident that he knew something of the Fernanas by repute; and that it was known in Tunis, from the reports of Billon and his prede- cessors over many years.

Possibly appearances are deceiving and quiet but earnest efforts are under way on a scale bigger than realized. When Sen. Estes Kefauver lost his big primary battles to Adlai Stevenson in 1956, it was widely asserted that this appeared to crush the senator's presidential hopes for good. But events last fall compelled a review of that judgment. Kefauver, always a "loner" who had While our U. S. senators and congressmen are fighting the battle of the budget in an effort to satisfy public demand for reduced spending, it would be well if the solons would set an example, themselves, by strict economy in their own offices. In this connection, William A. Dawson, congressman from Utah's Second Congressional District, seems to be doing- a commendable job. Each congressman is allotted 20,000 words in telegrams yearly and 3000 minutes in long distance telephone calls. Rep. Dawson's office uses telegrams only in cases of emergency. As a result, the congressman turned back 14.957 words of his annual allotment last year. At the rate of SI. 83 for 15 words to a saving of $1800. this amounted If every office practiced similar economy, the annual savings would amount to nearly $80,000. Also, Rep. Dawson used s of the telephone time less than allotted to his office. Taxpayers throughout America are demanding reduced spending and lower taxe3.

Yet in 1957, so far, a strange silence seems to pervade the political landscape. Of course the Republicans take it more or less for granted that Vice President Nixon will be a candidate in 1960. And Senator Knowland's annuounced intent to quit the Senate in 1958 raised talk that THE CHOPPING BLOCK 12 W 6-3- - 2S also enjoyed living in a different house. It was interesting to have an intimate glimpse of how another family lived. When we went home my wife had all sorts of new ideas she might apply to our own home. There were things, too, that she thought the children's mother only in her late 20's might learn to do more efficiently. She is trying to find a tactful way to help her neighbor. She can appreciate now that a young woman with small children and no parents nearby might like some help or an hour or two of free baby tending once in a while.
