hereby predicts that the inside track man for the 1960 Republican gubernatorial nomination is Rep. William G. Bray, Martinsville, 7th District, the only notable GOP survivor of the Democratic deluge last week. Bray swam upstream against the Democratic tidal wave and defeated a highly popular Democratic nominee, Bloomington Mayor Tom Lemon, by 10,733 votes. This was even a better showing than was made by veteran Repub-

lican Rep. Charles A. Halleck, Renssellaer, in the 2nd District, which many years ago was carved out to become a permanent GOP bailiwick. Halleck’s margin over a rather obscure Democratic rival, George H. Bowers, Valparaiso publications service executive, was only 6,327. Bray Is Maverick And the only other important survivor of the Republican debacle was Rep. E. Ross Adair, Fort Wayne, who barely nosed out his Democratic opponent W. Robert Fleming, Fort Wayne attorney, by 288 tallies. Bray is the problem child and maverick of the Hoosier GOP congressional delegation. While other Indiana Republican congressmen were sh o u ting j against Walter Reuther, denouncing the big labor leaders and defending the “right to work” law, Bray resumed his wooing of the laborites. He obtained the specific indorsement of the United Mine Workers Union, which has most of jits Indiana membership in his disj trict, and avoided the barrage leveled by the AFL-CIO Political j Action Committee against his fellow GOP congressmen. | In the midst of the session of ; the Oct. 25 meeting of the Indiana j Republican Editorial Association, j Bray left Indianapolis to make his j customary biennial tour of all the i taverns in Vincennes and Bicknell ' where his arrival was awaited ' thirstily and enthusiastically by j hundreds of coal miners enjoying i Saturday night relaxation. Questions Foreign Aid Bray differed from Sen. William E. Jenner, Governor Handley and

THE DECATUR DATLt DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA - -•-- - - - • ■ . ■ .... •

Lt. Gov. Crawford F. Parker in this marriage with organized labor, but curiously, he joined them in questioning many of President Eisenhower’s expenditures for foreign aid. Thus, if Bray runs fop governor, he may be able to take the antilabor heat off the Hoosier GOP and at the same time take advantage of typical opposition of Indiana citizens to extensive world-wide giveaway programs. Just as nature abhors a vacuum, Indiana Republican leaders have little use for a loser. And both Jenner and Parker were tremendous losers in their conservative, anti-labor appeals to the voters in the election campaign. Incidentally, Jenner and Parker have been the two Republicans mentioned most prominently for the gubernatorial bid in 1960. Bray was an active politico even before he received his LLB degree from Indiana University in 1927 and began the practice of law in Martinsville. In 1926, he had been elected Morgan County prosecutor and in 1928, he was reelected. His activity in his American Legion post did not hurt his political career later. Wife Active In GOP Bray, who became a colonel, served more than five years in World War 11, chiefly with tank units in the Asiatic-Pacific Theater, where he received the Silver Star for gallantry in action. After V-J Day. he served flifte months, establishing American military government in Korea. Bray was elected to Congress in 1950 where he has served since.

i He obtained much of his ammunition for his battle against excesi sive foreign aid in tours of foreign ; nations which he financed from ■ his own pocket. His wife, nee'Esther Debra, a member of the Indiana University faculty, has greatly aided his ' political career. She was Young Republicans district director four ' years and district vice-chairman six years. They have one son, HRichard, now a senior in Indiana Unvirsity law school and proecutor - elect of Morgan County. And now for another look into the clouded Hoosier political crystal ball. This giance leads to a prediction that the 1960 GOP nominee for lieutenant governor may be Robert Gates, Columbia City, son of former Gov. Ralph F. Gates, Indiana Republican national committeeman. Young Gates, carefully tutored by his sage father, has climbed the rungs of the customary American Legion ladder, often a prelude to a political future. He became state commander of the legion and won distinction by waging ! a campaign for legion posts to take the leadership in civic activities in their communities. End crystal ball staring.

I Space-planned bodies which provide a totally new experience in passenger comfort in both front and back seats are presented by Mercury in its entirely new cars for 1959.1 In its 20th anniversary models, Mercury offers a brilliant combination of advanced design, mechanical excellence and superior performance and economy. Designed exclusively for the medium-price field, the new Mercury has 15 models in four series, including the only two-door station wagon in the medium-price range. New compound curved windshield and rear window increase glass area more than 60 per cent at the front and 46 per cent at the rear. Mercury’s high-compression V-8 engines provide an exact blending of the most desirable features of economy and power. Pictured is the Park Lane four-door Cruiser.

Child Prodigy Back Now As Musician Ruth Slencanyska Opening Long Tour By GAY PAULEY UPI Women’s Editor NEW YORK (UPD—You may remember Ruth Slenczynska from the headlines of another era. She was the fat little girl who at eight made a spectacular i American debut as a pianist, who J was hailed by some critics as “another Mozart,” and who went : on to earn as much as $3,500 for | a single appearance and more i than a million dollars in her brief • career. She was the child whose father, a frustrated musician, claimed he i "willed her to be a genius,” and I who. she claimed, ran her life ! with a tyrannical sternness and ■ pocketed all the proceeds from j her sell-out American and European tours. She was the girl who ! khdw 200 musical compositions j from memory, studied with Ser- ’ gei Rachmaninoff and Arthur ; Schnabel, and once filled in when ; a Paderewski appearance was cancelled. That was Ruth Slenczynska. j child prodigy, whose career end-

ed with the start of World War 11, in 1940, when she was 14. Well, the prodigy is back—"as a musician, not a curiosity,” she said, in an interview today. Tonight she appears at Town Hall, 25 years to the day after her American debut. Then begins a tour which will take her to 56 cities, in 20 states. Chose Teaching Today, she is an attractive, dark-haired woman of 33. She’s just under five feet in height, weighs 103 pounds—“five pounds less then when I last played at Town Hall,” she laughed. “At eight, I weighed 108; at. 14, I wore a size 16 dress; now I buy fives and sevens.” “I was fat because my father believed that fat was healthy.” "Now,” she said, “I’m a firm believer in cottage cheese.” She added that it was not so much diet but “abject poverty” which slimmed her down. “I had a choice of teaching music and eating,” she said, “or practicing and not eating.” What cl the years in between? The pianist said that in 1940, she returned to her native Sacramento, Calif., determined to live a life without her father’s dominance, She was accepted as a freshman at the University of California, but her father refused to pay her tuition. She worked her way through school, as a psychology major,

with jobs as junior librarian, gymnasium assistant, and pianist for a post-graduate music course. Never Forgave Her In 1944, she eloped to Reno with a fellow student, and apparently this was the final break with her father. She said he ordered her out of the house and apparently never fm-gave her — when he died seven years later, his will left nothing to her. She returned to work when her husband went into the Armyteaching piano at Mercy College of Music, Carmel, Calif. The marriage ended in 1951, and it was then she resumed her piano studies. The pianist said there no longer is any bitterness toward her father — “I figure he would be proud of me,” she said, “but if he were alive I would not have the courage to do what I’m doing.” Other parents dan learn a lesson from her case history, she said. “If a child is gifted, in any direction — music or mathematics — don’t push him. Just encourage him. And give a child music for the love of it. ..don’t get idff the road as my father did.” She's convinced that prodigies are born, not produced. “You can’t make a thistle bear peaches,” # she laughed. “But peaches cultivated will produce better.”
