Election Resulls-Whal They Mean
Whatever else the nation’s politicians may
read into the results of Tuesday’s general
election, they certainly ought to take note
of the fact that the current of dissatisfaction
which .wept the Democrats out of power
two vears ago apparently is still running
strong.
America's voters ^obviously are not com-
pletely happy over the way their national
government is being run. This discontent
does not appear to be with either the Repub-
licans or thoof^tnocrats such but with a
state of affairs in which the electorate wants
a job done and intends to keep on swapping
horses until a team capable of doing it is in
harness.
Specific reasons for this voter irritation
are hard to pin down but any political party
which hopes to retain control of the federal
government had better start doing some re-
search. It had better turn up with the right
answers and do an effective job of legislat-
ing in the right direction. Otherwise there
are going to continue to be a lot of new faces
in Washington every two years.
Some of the more obvious sources of dis-
satisfaction among the people of this country
are continued high taxes, particularly on
personal incomes, the lack of a stabilized,
-reassuring foreign policy, and yearly budget
' deficits. The Republicans, in the two years
they controlled Congress, made a good start
toward dealing effectively with all three of
these but the progress apparently was not
completely satisfactory to the voters. On the
other hand, it was not so completely unsat-
isfactory as to turn this week’s Democratic
gains into a landslide.
No one can say at\ this time what sort of
a situation will develop with a Republican
(at least a man who was elected on the GOP
ticket) in the White House, the Democrats
ruling the House and the Senate so closely
divided that a lone independent will be prac-
tically running the place. ‘
But of this much we can be certain: If
this turns out to be another do-nothing Con-
gress a lot of its present members, both Re-
publicans and Democrats are going to be de-
feated two years hence and neither party
is likely to gain an overwhelming majority
in either house in 1956. And, barring a vast
change in public sentiment. Eisenhower is
very likely to return to the White House, no
matter what takes place in Congress during
the next two years, for the simple reason
' that the Democrats do not have a candidate
matching the President in personal popular-
ity.
Which sums up to an. opinion that if
either party expects or hopes to take a long
lead in public favor in 1956 it had better
spend more time in the next two years try-
ing to find out what the American voter is
dissatisfied about and attempting to elimi-
nate his gripes than in potshooting at the
other party.
Surgeons Study Auto Casualties
The eminent medical men who make up
the American College of Surgeons have vol-
unteered their assistance to the automobile
manufacturers and the driving public in the
campaign to cut down traffic deaths and in-
juries.-
A study by members of the college has
been going on for several years and some of
its results will be reported on during the
organization's five-day program of the 1954
Clinical Congress in Atlantic City later this
month.
The automobile will be indicted as “Our
Fashionable Killer’’ in the annual Oration
on Trauma (injuries) to be given by Dr.
Robert H. Kennedv of New York, ciinical
professor of the New York University of
Medicine.
The following ciay Dr. Arnold Griswald,
clinical professor of surgery at the Univer-
sity of Louisville School of Medicine will pre-
side at a symposium on trauma.
This svijpposium will feature three re-
ports dealing with the prevention of front
All this doubtless will have some effect
on. future plans of thq automakers and per-
haps in time may serve to lessen the deaths
and injuries attributable to automotive de-
sign,
Untoidueately, the good doctors eannojU
have the same influence on the human char-
acteristics which contribute sd' heavily to
the traffic toll. ......*

Solution Suggested
To Man's Present
Worry Over Bride
By HAL BOYLK
NEW YORK (API—Some am-
bitious young men, anxious fo get'
ahead in life, are afraid today to
marry. Why? Because they are
afraid the romantic bride of their
dreams may be-
come » frowsy
hailed nightmare
who will later
hamper the pro-
gress of their
I . careers,
s? In- picking ex-
ecutives many
cor pot at ions
weigh not only
the kind of work
a man does, but
! the kind of wife
Hal Boyle *Ue ,foesKhTe t0'
’ Will she be a
Aedit to the firm, or a social li-
ability? Does she have it in her
to become what industrial leaders
now look for in the mates of their
potential executives—the “ideal
corporate wife?”
“My girl suits me all right now,”
said a young bachelor. “But will
she be able to grow up with me as
I-move, ahead in the world? Will
she, 25 years from now, be the
kind of wife my corporation wants
me to have?
“The boss 1 have now thinks my
girl is real cute. But what about
when she's middle aged? Will the
boss 1 have then think she's a
handicap to the firm?”
One can easily'sympathize with
this young man. The mere fact
he is worried about the future
shows he is serious-minded as well
as ambitious. His problem is real.
As arty married man knows, it is
hard enough to tell what a wife
will be like in 10 minutes from
now, let alone 25 years. -
What can this young go-getter
do?
Well, frankly, let's face it: It
is impossible to marry a girl of
20 or 25 years and be certain that
at 45 or 50 she will have matured
into “the ideal corporate wife.”
Corporations change, .too, and how
can we tell whether in the fast-
paced world a quarter century
from now the ideal corporate wife
will look and act like Myrna Loj,
Shirley Temple. Kate Smith or
Marilyn Monroe'’
Is there any solution then? Yes.
One could wait until he had be-
come an executive and then marry
a w oman pleasing to the, chairman
of the board. But most men don’t
want to. postpone the pleasures of
home cooking, etc., for 25 years.
An even better way is to switch
ones life goals now. Suppose you
are the ambitious young man. In-
stead of worrying about selecting
an ideal corporate wife, why not
concentrate instead on becoming
“the ideal corporate husband”
yourself?
Here’s what you do. Pick a
clean-cut, hard-working career
girl with a good job and a big
future with a growing corporation.
Marry her. Then help her climo,
step by step, to the top ,
If you follow these slinplc basic
rules you arc bound to have «
rich full existence. You will be
known as “the ideal corporate
husband.” Your wife will be a
wealthy corporation exective—and
know in her heart she owes it all
to you, the little man without
w ho she'd have bfeeri just another
cog in a big machine.

Th« World Todoy: ,
Dixon-Yates Debate May Put
McCarthy Censure in Dark
By JAMBS MARLOW
WASHINGTON <AP>—Get ready for some real
talking that may last till Christmas.
The scorching campaign oratory svhich ended
with yesterday's elections, may sound like giggles
in a girl’s finishing school when compared with
what lies ahead. ^
The Senate now plunges into
two of the bitterest, and perhaps
the noisiest. Wrangles of 1954.
Starting tomorrow the Senate-
House Atomic Energy Committee
begins hearings on the Dixon-
Yates proposal' to feed private
power into the lines of the Ten-
nessee Valley Authority.
And on Monday the full Sen-
ate Opens debate on the motion
fo censure Sen. McCarthy (R-
Wis). Sen. Kerr (D-Okla) (predicts
the Senate may spend the rest
of the year arguing that one.
It's an argument which may be interrupted for
full-blown debate on the power question, accord-
ing to Sen. Langer (R-ND), chairman of a sub-
committee which already has held some hearings
on Dixon-Yates.
In fact, Langer says the McCarthy censure
problem may “shrink into insignificance” when
the Dixon-Yates dispute gets going.
At this point meat forecasts Indicate Mc-
Carthy Is going to be censored. No matter what
the outcome the debate will serve to pull Mc-
Carthy out of comparative .oblivion in which he
retired, or was retired, during most of the elec-
tion campaigns.
It was pretty apparent this was one campaign
which Republican party strategists wanted Mc-
Carthy to sit opt. He hgd planned some speeches
but cancelled them.
i He could make good use of his time prepar-
ing for the debate ahead. It looks like a lulu.
These past few weeks of McCarthy silence were
the strangest in his life since that night in Feb-
ruary 1959 when he fii*st got a grip on the head-
lines with his charges of Communists in the State
Department.
Nothing that happened afterward—until this
fall—kept him out of the headlines. He practically
monopolized them last spring at the public hear-
ings on his fight with Army officials.
Before these hearings ended. Sen. Flanders
(R-Vt) demanded punishment for McCarthy. For
a while that was just Flandors Ulking. Eventu-
ally. others joined forces with him. The Senate ;
created a special committee to consider rensuro
charges.
Business Mirror: \
Federal Statistical Activities
Cost 40 Million Dollars a Year
By SAM DAWSON
NEW YORK (AP)—Everyone is busy today te^l- j
ing you just what the election statistics mean— j
anti how the result will affect you in the months
ahead.
But this statistical interest in •’you" isn't con-
fined to just the day you vote. It goes on every
day—dl both the governmental ggfe
and private business levels. And r ™
now they even have big mi- '
chines into which “you" can be
pitched in the form of a punched
card.—and out comes a statistical
appraisal of almost every part
of your life.
Federal slide-rule boys j are
busy telling you and your neigh-
bors how many of you have jobs
and how many haven't, They tell
you the average length of your
work week and your take-home
pay. They tell you how much it
cost you to go on living. They
tell you how much you make, how
spend and how much you save. 1
Federal activitie* along these lines cost you
about 40 million dollars a year. Thia year an
additional 25 millions will be spent on a census ot
agriculture and another of busihess manufactures
and mineral industries. Some 10.000 persons are
emp’oyed to gather and process statistics. (
The 65 million dollars to be spent this year
however, is less than half of the total the govern-
ment spends in a single day, 175 million on all its
activities.
About the only statistic that hasn't been
recorded is what business spends on gathering
statistics for itself. However, the Institute of Life
Insurance points out that the Ameriran Statist-
ical Assn, numbers about 6.000 members, the
Ameriran Economic Assn. 7.500, the Society of
Actuaries 1.590. and the American Finance Ann.
more than 1,500. __1
“The combination of these private and govern-
ment activities in the statistical area,” the institute
says, “has given the people of the United States a
preeminent body of knowledge regarding our
everyday lives and the economic growth and op-
portunities, that our free institutions have made
possible^

Hansen made his start in Chi-

writes about Scarsdale. which is
about as far from Chicago n a

able account of a town with a

present, facing typical problems
