At deadline earlier this week, the dance list was a little top eavy: 60 boys had agreed to let he computer serve as a matchmaker, but only 10 coeds were milling to do so. Since the earlier deadline, lowever, Scanapico said more jirls have shown an interest jut it's too late. The delicate computer will not have time now to get ready for such a chore, said F.

THIBODEAUX Secretary-Treasurer ON PARTY POLICY Louisiana GOP Factions Clash BATON ROUGE (AP) Harrison Bagwell, Republican candidate for governor in 1952, and conservative members of his parly were at odds today over tho party's future. An exchange of opinions Thursday changed neither viewpoint but brought one suggestion that perhaps Bagwell ought to become a Democrat.

Bagwell, a Baton Kouge attorney, first irritated the conservative backers of Sen. Barry i Goldwater by calling for an overhauling of the GOP leadership which "led our parly to such an ignominous defeat" in last week's presidential election. The election, Tic said, demonstrated "most effectively that a factional, or fractured party is destined to defeat." He said parly leadership must be mod- crate and progressive. Reaction came from Floyd 0. Crawford, unsuccessful GOP candidate for Congress, and four other members of the GOP state central W.

Anderson, Morton Blackwell, Frederic E. Drew and Roger E. Peak. "Mr. Bagwell's com seem to come from another world and another era," they said.

"We intend to grow by continuing principles and policies of our current growth. It is clear that the conservative philosophy does prevail within the party at all levels." M. A. (Mike) Tassin member of the GOP executive committee in East Baton Rouge Parish, said in a statement that "if Bagwell wishes to be a liberal then he should become a Democrat." Bagwell replied to the conserv atives: "My belief and position in the principles of the Republican Party took precedence over any matters involving personalities. "I'm confident that with continued efforts and understanding we can all work together lor a better Republican Party." Meanwhile, Republican National Chairman Dean Burch, under fire from the party's moderate wing, drew support from the three Louisiana GOP leaders.

All three told The Associated Press they would oppose any attempt to oust Burch when the national commiUnp meets in i Washington next January. 'You've Gof to Boy Says By DAN MCNULTY ELMWOOD PARK, III. (AP) Bruce Gongola dances, swims, plays the trombone and makes model cars and planes. He is a guard on the Elmwood Park High School freshman football team, and he plans to try out for basketball. Bruce, 14, is a typical boy except he has no fingers and has only one toe on each foot.

The only thing he can't do, his mother says, is tie his shoelaces. "It's very important to continue your education and try these different things," Bruce said. "You've got to at least try." Bruce, who was born handicapped, began his education at the Luther Burbank School for Handicapped Children in Chka- go. After three years his parents transferred him to Rhodes School, a regular public school in River Grove, a suburb of Chicago. In the fourth grade Bruce began playing the slide trombone.

He manipulates it with his wrists and now is a member of the Elmwood Park High band. "Bruce is very strongly determined to do things." his mother, Mrs. Raymond E. Gondola, said. "And he always finds a way." ''When lie was three years old," she said, "we dropped a penny on the floor to seq whether he would pick it up.

He stood there for a few minutes, then moistened his hands and picked it up." Bruce is the oldest of four boys and the only one with'a handicap. He wants to go to college but hasn't decided what he wants to do professionally. Mrs. Gongola said Bruce maintains, a I good academic average. He works as a junior counselor at a camp for handicapped 1 children during the summer.

Bruce is 5 feet 2 and weighs 120 pounds, but football is a natural sport for the Gongolas. His father played in high school.
