Arkansas' Democratic Representative Dale Alford is an ophthalmologist-and he knows how to interpret political eye-charts. Alford's Fifth District and Democrat Wilbur Mills's neighboring Second have been merged by congressional redistricting; running against Mills, a twelve-term veteran and chairman of the key House Ways and Means Committee, Alford's rating would be about 20/200. Until a few weeks ago, Alford showed signs of trying instead for Foreign Relations Chairman J. William Fulbright's Senate seat.

He has a pet statistic ready at hand for Arkansans who, like Alford, distrust "Government spending": "There are those who say we shouldn't send our money to Washington and get back 50? for every dollar. I had some figures checked and I find that in 1960 the State of Arkansas paid $229 million to the Federal Government in taxes...
...Your graduation marks the true commencement of your education," Raphael Demos, Alford Professor of Natural Religion, Moral Philosophy, and Civil Polity, told approximately 175 members of the Radcliffe Class of 1961 yesterday afternoon at the traditional Baccalaureate Service in Memorial Church...
