Nixon Says Freedom Can
Be Won For Satellite
Countries Without War
WASHINGTON, UP)—'Vice Pre
sident Nixon said today freedom
must be restored in the Commun
ist satellite world—and that this
can be done without war.
The Republican presidential
candidate addressed American
Nationalities for Nixon - Lodge, a
group of citizens with ties to for
eign countries, induing some now
behind the iron curtain.
The speech opened the second
week of Nixon’s active campaign
and came as Soviet Premier \
Khrushchev and satellite heads of
state arrived in New York.
Nixon said the Communist lead
ers could be expected to hurl
charges against the United States
and wage a propaganda campaign
that the Soviet bloc is on the side
of peace and progress.
To applause from his audience,
some of them wearing costumes
native to Poland and Lithuania.
Nixon said the United States must
never make deals simply to pre
serve its own prosperity and
strength.
Nixon said some people bring
up the tragically crushed Hun
garian uprising and ask how any
liberation of satellites can be
achieved without war.
“My answer is that tyrants have
always underestimated morai
force. As long as hope lives in
the hearts of a people, the tyrant
is not safe,” Nixon said.
Nixon said the greeting a quar
ter million Poles gave him and
other American officials when
they visited Warsaw made it plain
that “the United States was right
in refusing to draw a line across
the middle of Europe and say ‘all
I this belongs to Khrushchev’.”

ANG Officer Says Guard
Is Ready, Will Give Good
Account In Case of Trouble
“The Alaska National Guard
has grown tremendously since it
was organized in 1938,” said Col.
Charles W. Casper, at a briefing
of 2,000 regular army troops at
Fort Richardson recently. Col.
Casper is ANG Property and Fis
cal Officer.
“Not only in manpower, but in
importance in the defense of the
free world. Today, there are Al
aska Army National Guard units
in 60 locations in this vital state,
with scout battalion troops guard
ing the western perimeter of the
state.
“Combat efficiency of these
units is high,” the colonel con
tinued, “with all of the men hav
ing prior service or having com
pleted basic training at army
training centers.”
“Times have forced us to face
the facts of life,” Col. Casper con
cluded, “there will be no 12 to
18 months for our divisions to
train, no time to build camps,
draft our youth and give them
basic and specialized training. In
case of an emergency, either state
or national, the Alaska National
Guard is ready and will give a
good account of itself."
Boyd Harwood has returned
from Ketchikan where he attend

Wild Blue Yonder May
Hold Key To Breakup Of
Marriages Due to Tension
1 SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Ifl-Air
Force scientists says a successful
30-day simulated trip into the
wild blue yonder didn’t solve all
space travel problems but it plug
ged a few holes.
It might even help marriage
counseling, one expert at the
School of Aviation Medicine sug
gested.
Capt. William D. Habluetzel, 36,
Ingleside, Tex., and Lt. John Har
greaves, 30, Caste Air Force Base,
Calif., emerged Thursday after 30
days 8 hours and 21 minutes in
an 8x12 - foot pressurized steel
tank.
Hargreaves lost 51/2 pounds but
said he could have gone another
30 days.
Before leaving the cabin they
hung a sign inside saying: “Never
volunteer, always submit an ap
plication.”
Lt. Col. Don Flinn, chief of the
neuropsychiatry branch, said im
portant information was gained in
I selection of space crews,
i “They are two very special
people with their background and
training,” Flinn said. “We know
now that a mature individual
with high motivations can toler
| ate frustrations more than
others.”
! “Many marriages could take a
. tip from this in learning to cope
! with tensions,” Flinn said.
