(United Free* Staff Correspondent)
Salem. Conn., Dec. Id—(UP!—Re
publicans today astounded “victory
dinner” minded democrats with pre
dictions of a huge "defeat-dinner”
soon to come. Certain republicans
had discussed the idea for weeks,
but the affair was dropped out of
the “sub-rosa” bag today by State
Rep. Donald A. Fraser s ventrilo
quist dummy. Rimer, before a crowd
assembled around the old pot-bel
lled stoVe id Don's store at the bleak
four-corners. There were some
democrats on hand when Elmer let
go,.
“You guys are sure going to town
on Out1 Victory dinners,” rasped the
blocks headed veteran of two cam
paigns for the legislature, "but wait
Until the republicans pull off this
big defeat dinner they are plan
ning.” Fraser, who was returned to
the legislature In faee of tne demo
cratic landslide by BO,more votes
than his democratic opponent, had
stepped into a rear room when Ri
mer lashed out. "They tell me,”
ranted the dummy, "that the defeat
dinner will eclipse anything of its
kind ever held by a political party.
The banquet hall will be decorated
with wilted sunflowers. Interspersed
with different colored quotes from
the social security act.
“A nugc broken drr.T covered
wagon, its canvass top ripped to
shreds, will be parked in front.
Hanging on the wall peps «1U be a
battered brown derby, and a big
black felt hat, once worn by former
Oov. ‘Alfalfa’ Bill Murray of Okla

it will be Col. Frank Knox's port
able typewriter and pipe. Imple
ments used In ‘pounding out copy

‘‘A framed copy of the constitu
tion will hang In back of the head
table, and beside it a picture of
‘nine old men.’
"The dinner will open with the
band playing ‘Susanna’ and the af
fair will close with a rendition of
Chopin’s ‘funeral march.’ ’’
A roar of laughter from the
democrats brought Fraser back into
the store to see wliat was going on.
He heard Elmer winding up:
"You think it's funny, eh? well,
listen to this. There's going to be
another huge sign there for all to
see. It’ll read: ‘seventeen million
persons can’t be wrong!' ”
“Ool dem it. Elmer,’’ broke in
Fraser, “what have you been gas

"Aw, nothing. Don,” he cackled,
‘1 was Just telling ’em about that

"Holy smoke.” gasped Fraser,

The order for attack on the young
