Development
Of Resources
Br WILLIAM F. ARBOGAST
EUGENE, Ore., Sept. 19
(AP) Vice President Nixon
said tonight "dynamic devel
opment of our natural re
sources is a job that must be
handled bv federal, state and
local sources not the federal
government alone.
Rolling his current re-election
drive into the power-rich North'
west, the GOP's top road canv
paigner asked' Oregon voters to
throw Sen. Wayne Morse out of
office in November.
On Campaiga Tour
Nixon came here from a mid
day speaking engagement at
Reno, Nev., after opening his
campaign " yesteruay at Indian
apolis, Ind., and Whittier, Calif.
Nixon denied at a Eugene news
conference that he ever questioned
the loyalty of Democratic leaders.
The vice president was told that
Sen. Estes Kefauver, the Demo-
nrattn vifA-nraciHnnti al nnminiui
had suggested Nixon apologize for
i .
uncomplimentary references to
Democrats.
Not Questioning LaydUy
"I have never at any time ques
tioned the loyalty of individuals
who have been leaders of the
Democratic party," Nixon said,
adding that he had questioned only
their judgment.
In a speech at MacArthur Court
Nixon said the opposition has at
tempted "to create the impression
that tfnless you favor the federal
government doing this job com
pletely, you are opposed to the
full development of our resources."
"Exactly the opposite Is the
truth," he said. "The federal gov
ernment by itself cannot do this
job. The triple-barrelled Eisen
hower partnership program will
do the job where a single-shot
federal program will not."
Election of a Republican Senate
and House, he said, would "re-.
move the roadblocks , that, nave
been placed in. the way of this type
of development."
Favors McKay
In that connection, he said
Douglas McKay, who resigned as
interior secretary to run for the
Senate, should replace Morse,
who was elected as a Republican
in 1950 and is seeking re-election
this year as a Democrat,
Nixon said the McKay-Morse
contest is of national significance
because it "clearly and dramatic
ally points up the basic difference
between the Eisenhower philoso
phy of government and that of the
well-intentioned but mistaken men
who would nationalize and feder
alize basic American institutions."
Man Jailed in
Riesel Case
NEW YORK, Sept. 19 t) A
shadowy figure in the rackets
ridden garment industry was
seized today in the acid-blinding of
labor columnist Victor Riesel. He
is Theodore Kij, 43, the target of a
nationwide FBI manhunt.
Rij was described as a hench
man of John (Johnny Dio) Dio
guardi, alleged ringleader in the
April S acid attack on the news
paperman. Police quoted Rij as
saying he met Riesel about a year
ago in a restaurant on 52nd St.
It was not the crack sleuths of
the FBI who caught up with the
husky, florid-faced Rij, but two
detectives of New York's W. 30th
St. station. They were Frank
O'Sullivan and Edward Cavanagh.
Both knew Rij by sight. They
did not say how they were tipped
off to his whereabouts. But they
found him idling in front of a
clothing store on W. 12nd St., two
and a Half blocks from the
precinct station , house.
Although Rij was described by
the FBI as extremely dangerous,
he surrendered meekly at gun
point. He had $29 in his pockets.

Suez Control
By ARTHl'R GAVSHON
LONDON, Sept. 19 -Secretary
of State Dulles asked 18 nations
today to press Egypt for a share
in control of Suez Canal traffic. He
i P131"1 indicated the canal might

Dulles added an emphatic warn

Five of the countries at the con

conference composed of the United
States, Britain, France, the Soviet
Union, Egypt and India.
