Y)i: Luuiju i i Hard Luck Quintet Eighteen months of close study of Gov. Patrick Lucey have persuaded some of the politician watchers that the man has changed significantly since he strode onto, the Wisconsin political stage with unashamed ambition only about a decade and a half ago. During his campaign for the governorship, brilliantly executed as it.

was, mere was. nothing to suggest that Lucey the public official would stand out today as one of the most aggressive of the exponents the left wing of his party. Tendency for Skepticism As he put together one task force after another and handed them dramatically novel assignments, there was a tendency for skepticism in the political community. As his unqualified endorsement of the prison reform report has shown, he is willing to stand on such propositions as phasing out the state prison system, something that- no other contemporary-politician would dare. He has named more women and blacks to public places than any other governor, and sometimes with what has appeared to be a flourish to invite challenge.

He has brought more scowls and resentment in the upper middle levels of the "bureaucracy," a word; he delights in using man any predecessor would have dared. Is the world crowding in around you, friend? Do you really- think you've got it bad? Nowhere to turn? Consider the kind of a world it is for some fellow citizens of this globe. Graeme Tait, a carpenter from Australia, told a pretty young English typist how much he loved her two years ago. But she couldnt make up her mind. So he sailed 19,000 miles en route to Falmouth, England cabling his love from each stop along the way.

Monday Barbara Hill gave him his "No." HoWvahout Sigurdur Helgason, a stone mason, and Ragnar Harldsson, carpenter, in Iceland? Sigurdur cut a chessboard from Italian marble and Lancashire slate for' the upcoming world chess championship. Haraldsson built mahogany table for the same event. 1 Along came contestant Bobby Fischer to declare' the stone chessboard' squares to be too large, and the mahogany, table too long. So it was back to the old workbench for Ragnar and Sigurdur. Then there are Hubert Humphrey and Ed Muskie.

Let's hope the incident is an Isolated aberration instead of a jesumption of tactics which attended picket lines back in the days when labor was battling for recognition. There have been disquieting reports of major outbreaks of violence recently in eastern states on construction sites. Wall Street Journal reports that skyrocketing wages for construction workers have resulted in a -major increase In the number of non-union contractors who are nabbing choice contracts outside areas of normal union jurisdiction.

Some of the job sites have been vandalized and non-union workers, (heir homes and other property damaged hi the new wave of violence. Most reasonable citizens, naturally including a great many card-carrying union members, feel that unions have been provided with all the safeguards difference toward, "oraodox candidates as to What he-wanted was 4 more radical candidate, t. When McGovern's campaign caught nobody could have prevented the utter Involvement "that followed. Vncw Lucey Emerges Thus there hai emerged a new Lucey, vastly -different from the man who patiently worked his way upward in regular Democratic politics over a long period, an eager, aggressively determined man who wants to push his party to the outer reaches of what has been regarded the liberal ideology. Those who have known him well sometimes also find a tendency to melancholy in this scarred veteran of the Wisconsin ballot wars.

Close friends relate to the powerful impact of the two Kennedy assassinations and the influence of his growing children. It is somtimes forgotten that Lucey was in the Los Angeles hotel where Sen. Robert Kennedy was killed. His devoted attachment to the-Kennedy family, originating to the John F. Kennedy Wisconsin delegate campaign 12 years ago, is widely known.

But the deep influence of that relationship is understood by comparatively few. Parent Lucey has an exceptionally close relationship with his children. Friends say that he has been powerfully affected by their reactions to. current issues, and notably Ihe Vietnam war. The story is persuasive, if only because it reminds the observer of the-eagerness and canfideiice'-with which he talks about young perple and their voting behavior this year.

Dilemma of Peacemaker This is the dilemma any peacemaker confronts how to reconcile the far-out positions of many of the young who helped McGovern win his primaries with the much slower-moving changes that have been in progress. The end result can be a stubborn resistance, heels dug in to thwart any chance and a drive to turn the clock back, if possible. As the nominee of the party, McGovern is going to need all the help he can get, and Kennedy No.

Both the phosphate and the nonphosphate soaps, and detergents caused eye inflammations. It is now believed that, the phosphate soaps and detergents are less harmful than nonphosphaites. Also, there seemed to have been some mix up in terminology. Soaps and detergents are not one and the same thing as was indicated by the article.
