I. 10. nearly half of today' teen-ageri who by then will nav reached their majority win likely not nave voted nor even have registered. Our survey of youngsters and ' their views an politics and the privilege of voting turned - up these interesting reactions. See Utile Difference -' . The unlnterest in voting boil down to the fact that teen-agers '- believe the- difference-between-the two -major parties are too mall to make H important for them to support either one. Ac tually this is not toe surprising. L E 1 .pfdKHHOan JTTVBBCN KB ON For only 63 per cent of the adults eligible to vote in the last presi dential election did so. As of now, only 51.2 per cent of tha youngster say they would vote, an interesting paradox vote." But their interest seems to be in satisfying the ego, not in Joining in running tha govern ment. . Foresee Landslide Some of the students inter viewed (eel that this year at least, an Eisenhower landslide is inevitable if he runs, so tha vote wouldn't mean much' A 17 year old Detroit high school student told our Inter viewer: "My vote wouldn't count for anything. Even if I could go to the polls and vote 20 times for Stevenson, Ike would still sweep in. So what' the use of anyone wasting his time?" A senior in Hewlett High School on Long la land put it this way: "It's not that I don't don't want Eisen hower to' win. But thara Just aren't any odds." . Many ITndeeMed Young people of pre-votinf age are about 44 per cent Republican, 2 per cent Democratic, the rest undecided or favoring minor can didates. Many student told us they feel the Republican Party is the party of youth. They feel that the party has made a genuine effort to get the youth vote. Aa a Missouri boy told us: "How can when one considers that M per cent -ofbe- ouUvof. ,the nation we- develop into, real . jeitixens. feel tha voting age snouw oe worth our stufl It we are not 18. The argument here is: If we're old enough to fight for our country,- we're old enough to esse veaafsteri skew aa avis' Merest la aeUUea. wane- ether M It is snuapertaat in (hear Uvea. Flier Notches Glider Mark DALLAS uF Lyle Maxey of Downey, Calif., held a new world's record Thursday after (oaring his glider MS miles from nearby Grand Prairie, Tex., to Wichita. Kan, in 7 hours. Maxey barely nosed out Dick Schreder, Toledo. Ohio, who flew his ' sailplane along the same I course in It hours, a time good enough to break the record which existed before Maxey landed. The two slim ship landed within three minutes of each other. Contestant in tha national snar ing contest v-rota their destina tion on cards. If they landed at their designated field, they get extra points. Landings at other than official airfields must be con firmed by at least twa witnesses. ; An official tally aa all flights Is expected today. Z. J.

That's why we go for Ike. And Nixon is a young man. Ha surely is Interested in appealing to us teen-agers." If they were voting now. Ml ef those surveyed would like to see Eisenhower returned to the I presidency. Stevenson got the! support of 111 per cent, Kefau ver 13, Nixon, 2.2, Harriman, 14. Other candidate split 12 per cent of the poll, and 2S.1 per cent have made no choke. Health Minor Factor The Eisenhower supporters told us that they have faith in the President aa a man who can keep the nation out of war and the economy healthy. Most do not consider the President s health a detriment to seeking a second term. Some said they consider him the only man for the Job, aick or well. Those who back Stevenson caU him' a firm leader with the in terest of the working man in . mind. They say hi foreign policies would be improved ever those ef the present administra tion. They say he would ha able to keep wage high and tha cost ef living down. Whea they were reminded that the cost ef living had beea relatively steady in the last few years, they said they simply wanted pries within reasoa when they begaa working and starting families, sad added they bad heard their parents complain about rising costs and thought a change in administra- tfetv wouM help ,tha ituao, One interesting fact is that about 84) per cent of the teen ager would vote for the same candidate their parents favor. I But they deny that parental pre ferences influence their vote. As a Grand Rapid girl said: "If Dad wants to vote for him, so much the better. But that's not why I would vote for Ike if I could. He Just is the best possible president. Any ether questions?" Safety Fears Mount for of Son of Ex-Ambassador LONDON leWean that Peter Wlnantr , nephesrof - the late . U.S. Ambassador Job C.
