...town of Prestonsburg (pop. 3,585, altitude 645 ft). Combs exploited a year of falling farm income by attacking his opponent, G.O.P. ex-Congressman (1952-58) John M. Robsion Jr., for pro-Benson votes while in the House-and never missed a chance to mispronounce Robsion's name "Ro-Ben-son." Combs's running mate for Lieutenant Governor, onetime Louisville Mayor Wilson Watkins Wyatt, 53, one of the founders of the left-wing Americans for Democratic Action, and Adlai Stevenson's 1952 campaign manager, piled an even bigger majority (498,278 to 308,622) upon Ballad Singer...

...great days (Manhattan Transfer, U. S. A.)Author Dos Passos, whatever his prejudices, could be literarily convincing, but in this book little of that gift shows itself. As a writer who has come a long way, from left-wing radicalism to earnest antiCommunism, Dos Passos makes clear Ro Lancaster's political displacement but not his personal disintegration. Sketches of Washington days that were both bracing and silly, a caricature of a monumentally pompous pundit, are apt yet perfunctory. Fortunately, time has not weakened Author Dos Passes' power to describe places and incidents. The Great Days has fine sketches...
