MISS. MCE WINS

GREENWICH, Conn., Nov. 8 (UP) — Clare Boothe Luce, still the GOP’s Glamour Girl Congresswoman from the fourth district, said today it was too bad about Margaret Connors, her Democratic opponent, then gloated at her victory over "the New Dt'al and the Pm*." Mrs. lijce received 99,954 votes and Miss Connors had 98,923. "I wasn’t running against Miss f anners," Mrs. Luce said in her smoke-filled one-room headquarters. “I was running against thv New Deal up here and the PAC.'' The re-elected coiner of countless p litical quips arrived at her headquarters at 1 A. M. today, and was greeted by a blast of martial music issuing from olud-spoakers. Sleepyoyed citizens in the vicinity called police, but were told it was all part of election day. Mrs. Luce, who lookbd like a loser as early returns poured In, was accompanied by her Time—Life publisher husband. Henry Luce. She found 25 loyal campaign workers waiting for her. Photographers’ bulbs flashed. Mrs. Luce pah’d a moment, then smiled her winningest smile. She still was the GlnmourGirl of politics.
