ing to retain and build up their
1938 congressional gains, when
they picked up eight senate
seats and 81 house seats, with
13 of the latter in Ohio. 12 in
Pennsylvania, and eight in Wisconsin.
By D. Harold Oliver
Washington, Dec. 29. W)
Republican party officials hint
ed today some strategic "sur
prises" may be sprung on the
Democrats early in the new
year as a warm-up for the 1940
presidential election.
One official at national head
quarters, across the street from
the White House, almost let the
cat out of the bag by saying:
"The Democrats will kick off
first in the nine months' polit
ical game of 1940, with their
Jackson day dinners January 8,
and the Republicans will do
their first kicking at Lincoln
day banquets February 12. But
, watch out, because the KepuBll
cans may pull an intercepted
pass."
Publicity Team
This was taken to mean the
Republicans plan to put a "pub
licity" team on the field some
time between January 8 and
February 12, but the party man
helping to call the signals now
thought it would be even
earlier. In other words, his met
aphor about the "intercepted
pass" was a little ill-timed.
"We are going to fight down
l the line issue by issue," said
the official in discussing broad
plans for the campaign.
This brought up many ques
tions, such as: Is the party pre
pared financially for the cam
paign? Who is going to raise
the issues and what will they
be? Where will the Republicans
concentrate their fire?
First, the Republican war
chest is now being filled, at
least partially, with individual
donations up to $1,000 to erase
a $655,000 deficit left from pre
vious campaigns. Leaders say
that the contributions are com
ing in as well as can be expect
ed. A spirited drive for post
convention campaign expenses
will get under way later.
Many Issues Loom
Second, the way pre-congress
controversies have been going,
it appears that there will be as
many issues as candidates. And
there are at least a dozen
avowed or potential of the lat
ter. Third, the Republicans, as In
former quadrennial elections,
are generally expected to send
most of their money and cam
paign orators into the big, pop
ulous states of the east and mid
dle west. That is where the all
Important electoral votes are.
Republicans also will be seek-

Burns' parents, Mr. and Mrs.
