Rockefeller Gives
Support to Nixon
In Fall Campaign
CHICAGO, UP — Richard M.
Nixon today asked and won all
out pledge of support from New
York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller in
the fall campaign.
The Vice President bustled
about this Republican convention
city calling on state delegations
and exhorting his partisans al
most as if his presidential nomi
nation tonight were not already
in the bag.
But it was clear his thoughts
were largely on the terrific battle
he has been predicting with the
Democrats.
Nixon started his day by meet
ing with the delegation from his
home state of California.
Then he went to see the New
York delegation at its own head
quarters. reversing the usual pro
cedure.
Nearly all of the other state
groups have called at the Vice
President’s hotel. It was the first
face-to-face meeting of Nixon and
Rockefeller at the convention and
it turned into quite a love feast.
Rockefeller called it “a rare
privilege” to present Nixon to the
New Yorkers.
Nixon replied that he was deep
ly moved by the action Tuesday
of New York in endorsing him.
Rockefeller stood with his arm
around Nixon and said, “He’s
gong to win with New York State
in the fall.”
Nixon told reporters, “Obvious
ly New York is a key state.” But
he added that with the kind of
campaign that Rockefeller put on
in 1958 to win the governorship,
“We can do it again in 1960.”

ROME, UP—Archaeologists are
working overtime to clear and re- ;
store the ruins of ancient Rome’s !
main school for gladiators. Re
mains of the school, the Ludus j
Magnus, were discovered only re
cently near the Colosseum.
CHICAGO, UP>—President Eisen
hower today urged Republican
candidates to follow “the great
middle road” and ignore the gut
ter, left or right.
Eisenhower held forth to Re
publican office-seekers at a party
breakfast the philosophy of Ab
raham Lincoln that the govern
ment should undertake only those
things that the people are unable
to do themselves.
“We ought to use it as a flam
ing battle flag on the highest mast
the Republican party can put up
! and fight for it always,” Eisen
hower said.
This approach to government is
difficult to defend, the President
added, and requires intelligent
explanation or will be attacked
from both flanks.
“But that is exacly what we
have to do,” he said.
The Republican party possesses
great strength, however, Eisen
hower said, “because so many
people want to go in exactly that
direction.”
Eisenhower addressed a break
fast meeting of his own cabinet
officers and GOP candidates for
various offices. About 600 attend
ed the affair, in a Chicago hotel.
It was Eisenhower’s last sched
uled apearance in this convention
city before heading with Mrs.
Eisenhower for Denver, where he
will spend the rest of the week.
The President was acclaimed in
a manner he’ll never forget when
he arrived in Chicago Tuesday.
A throng of about one million
roared an exuberant welcome and
showered the President and his
wife with confetti, ticker tape and
gay balloons.
Tuesday night the Republican
delegates and their guests cut
loose at convention hall with a
thunderous ovation that obviously
touched the President and Mrs.
Eisenhower deeply.
The President delivered a fight
ing speech, hitting at critics and
plugging for election of another
Republican President. He was
interrupted by applause 78 times.
Nixon Tells Alaska
Delegation He Will
Campaign In 49th State
CHICAGO, WPI — The Alaska
delegation to the Republican con
vention looked ahead today to
what they considered an assured
visit to their state this fall by
the GOP presidential nominee.
Vice President Nixon told the
six delegates and six alternates
yesterday that, if nominated, he
would campaign in Alaska.
Alaska was prepared to help
remove the “if” tonight by casting
its six convention votes for Nixon.
Each delegate and alternate
was photographed individually
shaking hands with the Vice
President.
Alaska is committed to Nixon
on the first ballot for the GOP
preidential nomination.
Izvesiia Heaps Invective on Lodge
MOSCOW, UPi — The govern
ment newspaper Izvestia Tuesday
called Henry Cabot Lodge a cyni
cal liar and a buffoon for defend
ing the six American fliers shot
down in their RB47 reconnais
sance plane off the Soviet coast.
The paper referred to the men
as “air pirates.” It attacked Lodge
without printing any of his speech
to the U.N. Security Council Mon
day.
Bol) Bartlett and
Party Spend
Night at Nome
Sen. Bob Bartlett and Mrs.
Bartlett arrived here last night
and met this morning with triends
Sen. E. L. "Bob" Bartlett
at a Chamber of Commerce break
fast before taking off again on a
trip around the state. Also in the
party were: his daughter, Sue
Bartlett and her guest, Margaret
Await, and campaign manager
Stan McCutcheon.
They came by way of Barrow,
Point Hope and Kotzebue.
In relating a little of the Demo
cratic National Convention, Bart
lett referred to a statement made
there by Mike Walsh that many
Alaskans, some now in their 70’s,
will be voting for President for
the first time in their lives next
November.
Tin Bill Headed For Veto
He said that the tin bill which
passed the Senate will come be
fore the House when Congress
re-convenes in August. It is a
good bill, Bartlett stated, that
makes U.S. tin available in time
of emergency should the Malayan
supply be cut off and actually
does not cost the government very
much. But he predicted that
should it pass the House it is
headed for a veto by the Presi
dent.
The Bartlett amendment to the
Federal Highway Act was ex
plained which would aid Alaska
substantially insomuch that the
fundamental change would be to
withdraw Federal Reserve lands
away from the matching require
ment and save Alaska some four
million dollars a year.
Bartlett made no promise of
substantial projects being contem
plated for this area but bluntly
stated that the “economy was
geared to military needs at this
time and civilian industry had
little chance.”
Rampart Dam Is "Big Thing"
However, the Rampart Dam is
the big thing that will be backed
by a Democratic administration
and the “greatest hope of civilian
industry.”
He deplored the military with
drawal stating that Alaska must
have “more, not less planes, more,
not less army” so that the aggres
sors across the way will respect
the Monroe Doctrine and look
twice with respect across at Al
askan defenses which is the front
line of defense of America.
Bartlett stated he would be
back for his ninth political cam
paign, accompanied by Sen. John
Kennedy on the first presidential
campaign in Alaska.
Harry Carter and
City Start Rat
Control Program
Harry Carter, sanitary engineer
for the Section of Sanitation of
the Dept, of Health and Welfare
has announced a rat control pro
gram starting today with the co
operation of the city government
with the city furnishing the mat
erials.
The fact that the new' city dump
is now infested with rats has
brought the matter to a head, said
Carter.
Warfarin, a rat poison will be
used, mixed with oat and corn
meal. Although it is one of the
best known rat killers, it is fair
ly safe for other animals and is
not considered dangerous even to
children.
The bait will be set out around
the city dump, along the seawall
and in the King Island Village
area and warning signs will be
posted. The program will con
tinue as long as needed and in
dividuals who want some of the
bait may obtain it free of charge
from the Office of the Sanitarian
in the basment of the Federal
Building, or at the Police Station.
The cooperation of the City
Council, the Fire Department, and
the Highway Department have al
ready been obtained said Carter,
but help from other civic groups
would be welcomed as needed to
check and refill the bait boxes at
specified times. A volunteer group
may pick their own area if they
wish, Carter said
Weather Grounds Planes
Searching for Plane Lost
In Rainy Pass Area
ANCHORAGE, UP) — Search
planes were still grounded by
bad weather, three days after a
twin-engine U.S, Weather Bureau
Beechcraft disappeared in Al
aska’s northwest interior with
seven aboard.
All search and rescue teams had
been able to do since Monday was
to set up a base camp at Skwent
na, 100 miles north of here.
The plane, piloted by George
Brewster of the Washington, D.C.
Weather Bureau office, vanished
on the 550-mile flight from here
to Nome.

Stream Guard Lost
South of Juneau
JUNEAU, UP)—The fate of Ralph
Reischl, a stream guard who van
ished last Friday in the Seal Cove
area 30 miles south of Juneau,
remained unknown today, as the
search for him went on.
The general belief was that Mr.
Reischl, 66, of Auke Bay, suf
fered a heart attack or a serious
accident while traveling through
the heavy timber and brush of the
area.
Reischl, a registered guide, was
sent to Seal Cove to protect sev
eral streams from any potential
salmon poacher.
A search team consisting of
some 25 men was on the scene
today. They had aid from two
boats and four airplanes.
[U.N. Rejects Red
Charges Against
U.S. In RB47 Affair
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., OP* —
Security Council debate on the
American RB47 reconnaissance
plane shot down by the Russians
ended last night with a 9-2 Coun
cil vote rejecting Soviet charges
j against the United States and a
| Russian veto of the U.S. proposal
j lor an international investigation.
I The Russians also vetoed an It
1 alian proposal that the Interna
| tional Red Cross contact the two
| surviving crewmen of the Ameri
I can plane, who are being held by
the Russians for trial as spies.
Despite the official impasse, U.
N. diplomats chalked up the out
come as a defeat for the Soviet
Union and a victory for the U.S.
They pointed out that on all three
resolutions the vote was 9-2, with
Russia and Poland opposed by all
nine non-Communist members of
the Council including Ceylon and
Tunisia, which usually abstain
from voting on cold war disputes.
Chief U.S. Delegate Henry Ca
bot Lodge said after the votes the
Russian by blocking an investiga
tion showed “they do not believe
their own charge” against the
United States. He termed the It
alian proposal for the Red Cross
to contact the captured fliers a
“compassionate resolution.”
Lodge said: “The difference be
tween the United States and the
Soviet Union is that we shoot
their planes with cameras. They
shoot ours with guns and rockets
and kill or imprison our crews.’’
Lodge said Soviet intelligence
planes repeatedly and for a long
time came close to the coast of
the new state of Alaska — far
closer, he said, than the point off
the Soviet coast to which he said
the RB47 was forced by a Soviet
fighter July 1.
Lodge also charged that the So
viet trawler Vega last April 26
made a vain attempt 105 miles
southeast of Cape Cod to pick up
a “loaded test vehicle” that the
nuclear submarine George Wash
ington had just shot from its Po
laris missile ejection system.
