Nationwide GOP Rally Hails Emergence
From 20-Years’ ‘Wilderness Wandering’!
WASHINGTON, UP) — Exuber
ant Republicans heard President
Eisenhower’s assurance Wednes
day night that his Administration
is making the United States the
“strongest power on earth” in the
military and economic fields.
From Vice President Richard
Nixon came a clear message that
while he would be happy to in
, herit Eisenhower’s peace and
prosperity laurels, he will not be
content merely to stand on them
as the new Republican Presiden
tial nominee.
In Washington, Governor Nel
son Rockefeller of New York
cautioned «GOP colleagues they
can’t coast on Eisenhower’s per
sonal triumphs because he said
the voters will want to know in
.November “what happens next.”
It was a rousing night for the
Grand Old Party. More than 100,
000 persons, paying from $25 to
$100 a plate, gathered in 83 cities
in 43 states for a closed circuit
television “Dinner With Ike.”
Like Eisenhower and Nixon,
cabinet members and others high
in Republican circles deserted
Washington to address the din
ners individually.
There was no public telecast,
but those attending the dinners
cheered vigorously a President
who has — as Rockefeller put it
— rescued the party from “20
years of wandering in the wil
derness.”
There were thunderous cheers
for Nixon, who spoke to 7,000
persons in the International Am
pitheater in Chicago. That is
where the Republicans are ex
pected to give him their Presi
dential nomination next July.
Even Eisenhower, who had sat
smilingly at a table in the Pan
Pacific Auditorium in Los An
geles while other speakers were
introduced, jumped up and waved
when Nixon’s countenance was
flashed on the TV screen.
Rockefeller, who likes Ike but
shows no sign of extending this
affection Jo Nixon, got warm
applause.
If there was a discordant note
in an evening otherwise devoted
to Republican unity, optimism and
fund raising, it was that Rocke
feller made no mention of Nixon
while praising highly Eisenhow
er’s accomplishments.
Eisenhower sounded the key
note for the Republican cam
paign by bearing down on the
theme that his Administration
had brought the country peace
and prosperity without war.
The President told a cheering
audience of about 7,000 persons
that Democratic critics are wrong
in contending that the Soviet
Union has moved abreast or
ahead of this country in military
might. He said these critics are
engaged in “noisy trumpeting
about dazzling military schemes.”
But it was his central theme of
a balanced budget and a private
enterprise economy that drew 17
of a total of 23 bursts of applause
from his listeners. They roared
their approval when he said that
some politicians seem to think
mistakenly there is a “sanforized
dollar” — one that won’t shrink.
Nixon told the Chicago audience
— and this part of his address
was not carried on the closed
TV circuit — that because Eisen
hower has made what he called
an outstanding record, the temp
tation will be “to stand pat on
what we have done, to be smug
and self-satisfied about the past
and to fail to meet the challenge
of the future.”
His jaw jutting belligerently,
Nixon jumped into the argument
with Democrats who have con
tended there is a missile gap be
tween the United States and the
Soviet Union. He said it is time
for critics in this field to “stop
selling America short.”
“We are not a second rate
country, with sceond rate military
strength and a second rate econ
omy,” he declared. “Let us get
these facts straight right here
and now. No aggressor in the
world today can knock out the
deterrent striking power of the
United States and its allies. This
is the case today and it will con
tinue to be so in the future.”
Nixon seemed to promise, how
ever, that if he becomes President j
more effort will be put into 1
strengthening the nation’s mili- ,
tary posture.

Crisis Looms,
Says Commission
(Continued from Page One)
itless compared to those of the
state; it has been said the federal
government can ‘match a state to
I death’.”
The capital improvement pro
gram outlined in the report in
cluded full participation in the
Federal Aid Highway Program be
cause of the “obviously great
need for roads.”
Drastic Cut-Back In Road Funds
However, as transition money
runs out and the cost of match
ing federal funds increases, the
i report said a “drastic cut-back in
i road building (must be) cohsid
ered.”
The report estimated the total
population of the state at the
end of 1959 at about 190,000, in
cluding about 35,000 military per
sonnel.
One of the major surprise pre
dictions was a forecast that
Alaska’s population during the
next six years would show a net
increase of only about four per
cent — something like 3,000
people during the entire period.
The Planning Commission was
created by the 1959 State Legis
lature, and directed to report to
this second session of the first
state lawmaking assembly.
The five-man commission, aided
by two technical assistants, con
ducted a series of hearings over
the state and received recommen
dations from both private and
governmental sources in consid
ering capital improvement needs.
Russ Avoid Issues
Of Lend-Lease Pay; j
U. S. Quits Talks
WASHINGTON, UPI — Soviet |
reaction to collapse of lend-lease
repayment talks may provide a
clue to Soviet intentions in other
negotiations this «spring, U. S.
officials said Thursday.
The United States broke off
the talks Wednesday. It said the
Soviet Union was insisting on i
getting U. S. trade and aid agree- j
ments as part of negotiations that 1
were supposed to deal only with I
Soviet repayment for U. S. lend- I
lease aid during World War II. i
No bbternes was expressed at
the final session, and American
authorities professed to see no big
impact on other scheduled nego- i
tiations as a result.
But some said that the viru
lence — or lack of it — in any
Moscow effort to blame this coun
try for the impasse could sive a
hint of what lies ahead in a March
disarmament conference and the
scheduled May summit meeting.

more likely to be grim and dan
gerous than to be relaxed and
productive of agreement.
The latest came two days ago
• with a breakdown in U. S.-Soviet
negotiations for a settlement of
the Soviet Union’s 15-vear-old
lend-lease debt.
1 The renewal of talks on lend
lease after a lapse of seven years
was agreed on at Camp David.
There was much speculation on
the U. S. side that the Soviets
might now actually settle by com
promise the old obligation of less
than a billion dollars. A compro
mise settlement of about half a
billion might have been possible.
But Soviet Ambassador Men
shikov demanded on the first day
that the United States agree to
remove trade restrictions on the
Soviets as part of any lend-lease
deal. U. S. Ambassador Charles
Bohlen said this was impossible.
The two sides never changed
from those positions and finally
on Wednesday Bohlen broke off
j the talks, saying they served no
further purpose.
Lemons Are Important
Though the issue was not vital,
the lessons which diplomats may
draw from it are important.
•There are other pieces of evi
dence which fit into the same pat
tern:
1. The only solid agreement
made at Camp David was that
which lifted the Soviet threat to
West Berlin and committed Eis
enhower to go to a summit con
ference if his allies would agree.
On three occasions now Khrush
chev has renewed the threat to
Berlin.
2. The U. S.-British negotiations
with the Soviets at Geneva for an
enforceable prohibition on the
testing of nuclear weapons have
made no important progress for
several months.
3. In the United Nations session
at the end of last year, Soviet
spokesmen tried to force U. S.
concessions on various issues by
charging this country with violat
ing the “spirit of Camp David.”
Their behavior left no doubt that
the Soviets considered this a tool
to be used in p’ona-anda “arm
ful to the United States.
4. The Soviet decision to set
up a rocket range targe’ ar ■•» in
the central Pacific is one of the
most dramatic anrl subt'n moves
the Soviets have made in missile
diplomacy. Allen W. Dulles, Cen
tral Intelligence Agency chief,
said in a speech this week that
Soviet rocket testing in the past
has been conducted with the
greatest possible secrecy but now:
“They wish to call attention to
the strength of their sinews.”
