BITING THE HAND -
World Hopes U.S. and Russia Will Quit
Blustering and Go Baek to Negotiating
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
As the United States intensities
its new tactic of massive verbal
retaliation against the Soviet
Union, the rest of the world will
shiver if it gets the idea that
domestic political considerations
are involved.
There is as yet no tendency to
deny the right of the United
States to belly up to the Soviets
at points where important stakes
are involved, as in Cuba and Ber
lin, and even in the Congo.
Having tried without success
the British idea of seeking com
promise, the United States now
expects and is getting British sup
port in trading verbal slugs and
posting warning notices.
But all the world is hoping the
slugging period will give way to
resumed negotiations as quickly
as possible, and that no doors will
be slammed for good.
Already, however, reports are
being published that Vice Presi
dent Richard Nixon advocated the
tough line to the President, with
the implication that he needs to
give the Republican administra
tion a new sense of direction fol
lowing the collapse of its peace
efforts.
However this may be, it would
be dangerous to have it accepted
Alaska Has Most
Planes Per Capita
WASHINGTON, (jP—Alaska has
more civil aircraft per capita than
any other state in the union, the
Federal Aviation Agency said
Wednesday.
The agency said Alaska had
63.2 aircraft for every 10,000 per
sons on Jan. 1. California led in
total number of aircraft, with
8,761.
The national total was 70,747,
a new high. State totals included
Washington 1,737; Oregon. 1,393;
Alaska, 1,208, and Idaho, 689.
abroad as the prime motive.
It was inevitable, when Soviet
Premier Khrushchev adopted his
policy of aggressive confrontation
of the United States at every
point, that this country would not
take it - lying down.
There will be times, however,
when there will be a question
whether vituperation and threat
are the best answers. At such
times—at all times—the free na
tions will be expecting the United
States to consider them as well
as herself, and they will resent
any appearance that the scales
of action have been tipped by
Republican political needs.
Throughout the world there is
a dread of what will happen un
less the U.S. and Soviet Russia
drop the blustering and go back
to negotiating.
Prime Minister Nehru of India
has told his people it is the only
alternative to war.
The main need of the United
States is not to establish her lack
of fear of Soviet Russia, or even
her firm confidence in her own
course, except as that course rep
resents one of high ethics.

Gov. to Nominate
Richard M. Nixon
CHICAGO, IJi — Vice President
Richard M. Nixon picked youth
ful Gov. Mark Hatfield of Oregon
to place his name before next
week’s GOP convention as presi
dential candidate.
In announcing this, Robert
Finch, Nixon’s administrative as
sistant, said the choice of a vice
presidential running mate for
Nixon is “still a wide open pro
position.”
Previously GOP National Chair
man Thrustor, B. Morton had said
that if a platform is adopted that \
is mutually acceptable to Nixon
and to Gov. Nelson Rockefeller it
might possibly act as a catalytic
agent to bring together a Nixon
Rockefeller ticket.
But both Morton and Finch said
they are taking Rockefeller’s
word for it that he would not ac
cept a second place, nomination.
Rockefeller has said he is avail
able for top place on the ticket
if a draft develops but doesn’t
expect it to.
Finch said, however, that Nixon
is not closing the door to Rocke
feller as a possible running mate.
The choice of Hatfield to make
the Nixon nominating speech will
put in the limelight a 38-year-olcV
Republican governor who once
suggested that Nixon be replaced
on the 1956 ticket in favor of a
vice presidential candidate more
“liberal” in his views.
Hatfield praised Rockefeller as
a liberal but declared his neutral
ity when it seemed likely before
Rockefeller quit the presidential
contest last winter that the two
candidates might meet in the
Oregon primary.
Secretary of the Interior Fred
Seaton is among those being con
sidered for the vice presidential
nomination. Sen. Barry Goldwater
is also a possibility. But the Nixon
spokesmen said they have seen no
written list of Nixon’s prefer
ences.
As for himself, Morton said he
doesn’t want the vice presidential
nomination and is not seeking it.
Nevertheless he is regarded as a
leading possiblity for the place.

mussen, once a maid in the Rocke

Survey Will Update
Consumer Price Index
WASHINGTON, CW—The De
partment of Labor said Thursday
that Seattle, Klamath Falls, Ore.,
and Anchorage are among 66 cit
ies where it will ring doorbells
to update cost of living figures.
The surveys, which will take
about four years to complete, will
provide new information on liv
ing and spending habits used in
compiling the Consumer Price
Index.
The index, which has not been
revised for 10 years, is the base
for calculating the rise or fall in
the cost of living.
Information will be collected on
the kinds and amounts of goods
and services consumers buy,
prices they pay, how often they
shop for food, the amount of their
rent or house payments. Stores
and service businesses also will
be visited to study price trends
and marketing practices.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
The superior man is polite but
not cringing; the common man is
cringing but not polite.

NAM Calls on GOP
To Hold Down
Federal Spending
CHICAGO, UP — The National
Assn, of Manufacturers urged the
Republican National Convention
to reject proposals for new gov
ernment spending programs when
the services involved can be pro
vided by local governments or by
private initiative.
Rudolph F. Bannon, president
of the NAM, said unnecessary fed
eral spending adds to the tax bur
den and siphons off money needed
for capital investment to speed
the nation’s economic growth.
“We have not given attention
to the need for new capital at
home,” he said in a statement
before a Platform subcommittee.
The rate of economic growth
has become a major issue this el
ection year. The Soviet Union’s
effort to try to overtake the
United States in this field has
helped make it so.
The Chamber of Commerce of
the United States expressed a
similar view. Its President Arthur
H. Motley, told platfoim writers
that U.S. tax rates are too high
and tax laws too complex. He said
tax reform is needed to stimulate
job-creating investment.
In another platform hearing,
Sen. Kenneth B. Keating of New
York challenged Democrats to
trot out their bold civil rights
plank and try to get it enacted
when the Democratic - controlled
Congress meets again next month.
Keating contended that only
the Republicans can bring.an end
to racial discrimination.
