On The Presidential Campaign Trail
Richard M. Nixon
DES MOINES, —Vice Presi
dent Nixon said Saturday Repub
licans in economic matters have
their Democratic opponents licked
“on every index that points to
progress.”
Addressing a Republican rally
here, Nixon said party workers
can campaign proudly on the rec
ord of President Eisenhower’s ad
ministration over the past 7^
years.
He told the Republican rooters
that all the devices and methods
the Democrats would use to cross
the new frontiers of the years
ahead “are as old, as outworn as
a Model T Ford.”
He told the workers it was not
enough for the Republicans to
elect a President in November,
but they must concentrate on the
election of senators, representa
tives, governors and state legisla
tors “to build a solid foundation”
for the party from here on out.
“There is no reason whatso
ever for Republicans supporting
our ticket this fall to be in a de
fensive or defeatist position,” he
said. “I want you to know that
we can all feel immensely proud
of our record in both domestic
and foreign policy.”
Nixon’s voice at times has been
husky and he has looked a bit
tired.
FAA Officials Visit
Nome Last Friday
Alan L. Dean, Assistant Ad
ministrator for Management Ser
vices of Federal Aviation Agency,
Washington, arrived in Nome Fri
day evening while on his first
visit to Alaska.
Allen D. Hulen, Regional Man
ager of the Agency’s Fifth Region
met Dean in Juneau where they
conferred with Gov. Egan and
other state officials on the trans
fer of 17 airports in Alaska from
FAA management to state oper
ation.
They are on a six-day familiariz
ation field trip which will cover
the major stations and facilities.
“Methods of operation and the
problems incurred in Region Five
differ greatly with the ‘south 48’,”
says Hulen. “Transportation dif
ficulties, communications, housing
of station personnel and equip
ment, staffing of stations, rugged
terrain and distance make this
region unique.”
Dean was accompained by Her
bert Fuhrman, Chief of the Eval
uation, Staff of Personnel and
Training in Washington and
Hulen and his staff.
Also in the party was Benjamin
F. Zvolanek, recently station man
ager at Fairbanks, who has been
promoted to Chief of Personnel
and Training, in the agency’s re
gional office in Anchorage.

John F. Kennedy
GREENVILLE, N. C., (jP —Sen.
Kennedy brought his presidential
campaign into this tobacco-grow
ing section of the South Saturday
charging in effect that Republi
cans concern themselves with the
farmer only at election time every
four years.
“Every four years,” Kennedy
told a crowd of 12,000 gathered in
the stadium at East Carolina Col
lege, “a Republican candidate
comes out for an affirmative farm
program.”
But, he added, Democrats in
Congress have worked year after
year and day after day to help the
farmer.
Kennedy virtually threw away
a prepared speech and talked ex
temporaneously.
He told the stadium crowd that
“our responsibility is to be the
chief defender of freedom at a
time when freedom is under at
tack all over the globe,” he de
clared. And, he said, the future
will not be easy.
But “If we build a better life
for our citizens here ... as we
grow strong here we hold out in
spiration to those who want to
follow our example.”

Ship Movements
May Fortell Soviet
Man In Space
WASHINGTON, OP—The unex
plained movements of six Soviet
ship in the Atlantic and Pacific
are building up speculation that
the Soviet Union soon may shoot
a man into space.
New details, released by the
U.S. Navy Friday, show that two
of the ships, a tanker and a tug,
are standing off the Grand Banks
in the Atlantic.
That’s just where a Soviet satel
lite might pass if it followed the
same path as Soviet rockets in the
past. A capsule ejected by such
a satellite probably would fall
into the ocean near the two Soviet
ships.
The speculation is that the So
viets may fire a space capsule
with a man in it and then recover
it in the Atlantic.
Such a spectacular space try, if
attempted soon, would come on
the eve of Premier Khrushchev’s
arrival in New York for the U.N.
General Assembly.
It would also mean that the
world would have two significant
space attempts in a brief period of
time.
The United States is preparing
to try shooting a rocket around
the moon. The try will be made
between Sept. 22 and 26, while
Khrushchev is in the United
States.

RB47 Crewmen Held
Prisoner In Russia
PLAINFIELD, N.J., tfft — The

Soviet Union disclosed Saturday
that she had received a letter
from her husband.
“I’m so thrilled to know that

assuring.”
Capt. Freeman Bruce Olmstead,
25, was one of two airmen to
survive the crash of an Ameri
can RB47 reconnaissance bomber
gunned down over the Barents
Sea on July 1 by a Soviet fighter
plane.
The only other survivor of the
crash, which killed four Ameri
; can fliers, was Capt. John Mc
| Cone of Topeka, Kan.
Mrs. Olmstead said she under
stood that McKone’s wife had
also received a letter from her
I husband.
Mrs. Olmstead said her hus
band said nothing about receiv
ing her letters although she had
written to him more than a dozen
times since his capture. He didn’t
disclose where he was being held
in his three-page handwritten let
ter.
He wrote that he had been told
that he would be brought to trial,
she said.

Serious Crimes In Alaska
Increased Last Year
Following National Trend
WASHINGTON, OP—The num
ber of serious crimes in Alaska
last year followed a national up
ward trend, the Federal Bureau
of Investigation reported today.
Alaska had decreases in two
categories, increases in five.
The state’s population rose from
202.000 in 1958 to 223,888 in 1959
and the over-all total of serious
offenses went from 1,665 to 2,158,
the report showed.
The rate of serious crimes per
100.000 population was reported
up from 824.3 to 963.9 in 1959.
That figures compares with the
continental United States 1959
rate of 896.
For Alaska, increases were re
ported from 1958 to 1959 in rob
beries, from 51 to 57; aggravated
assaults, from 64 to 94; burglaries,
from 428 to 543; larcenies of $50
or more, from 570 to 706, and auto
thefts, from 511 to 729.
Decreases were reported in
murder and non-negligent man
