Flanders mentioned details of McCarthy's actions as subcommittee chairman only briefly his prepared speech. Instead, the Vermont Republican outlined what, he said were "patterns of a most disturbing sort" into which he fitted McCarthy. "One of the aspects of the time of troubles for our country is that, willy nilly, our country exercises the leadership of the world during this period of crisis," Flanders said. "This is the frame.

JOHN L.McCLELLAN Advt. Paid by Pat Henderson, Campaign Manager It Happened To When I first heard about A. it seemed miraculous that anyone who had really been an uncontrolled drinker could ever achieve and maintain the kind of soberity that older A. A.

members talked about. I was inclined to think that mine was a special kind of drinking, that my experiences had been that A. A. might work for others but it could do nothing for me. I reasoned that A.

A. might be fine for the Skid Row drunks but that I might probably handle the problem by myself. My experience in A. A. has taught me two important things.

First, that the basic problems confronting the alcoholic are the same whether he is panhandling for the price of a short beer of holding down an executive position in a big corporation. Secondly, I now appreciate that A. A. works for almost any alcoholic who honestly wants it to work, no matter what his background or his particular drinking pattern may have been. Now that I am in A.

I have a new outlook on soberity. I enjoy a sense of release, a feeling of freedom from even the desire to drink. Since I cannot expect to drink normally at any time in the future, I concentrated on living a full life without alcohol TODAY. There is not a thing I can do about yesterday and tomorrow never comes. Even the "worst" drunk can go 24 hours without a drink.
