515 Replies
The annual Congressional
Quarterly survey of issues
drew responses from 325 lead
ing editors and 190 members
of Congress this year.
With the pocketbook prob
lems so much in the forefront,
few other topics appeared on
the lists of the top five issues.
The editors gave third place
to control of labor unions,
which has become a hot issue
since the 85th Congress failed
to pass the Kennedy-Ives bill
Republicans put the same
issue in second place, but
Democrats largely ignored it.
The problem of ethics in
Government with specific
reference to the Adams-Gold-.
fine investigation-rated fourth
place on the editors' list,
eighth with the Democrats and
10th with the Republicans.
Foreign policy was the
fifth choice of the editors,
ranked fourth with Demo
crats and came in eighth on
the Republican list-.
ReDublicans and Democrats
agreed that farm policy was
the fifth most important issue
before the country, while edi
tors ranked it eighth.
Democrats put in a strong
plug for Social Security bene
fits - their third-favorite talk
ing point but this topic fell
far down the list for Republi
cans and editors. ' . "
Overlooked Issues
Almost as interesting as the
issues that were mentioned
were some . that were over
looked. ' 1
The question of Mr. Eisen
hower's performance as Presi
dent, a major matter in the
last two campaigns, ranked
only seventh with the editors,
and tenth with the Democrats.
Republican Congressmen ig
nored it almost to a man a
pretty clear indication that
there will be little coattail-
riding this year.
The missile race with Rus
sia, subject of so much debate
in Congress, came in tenth
on the editors list and ranked
even lower among Congress
men of both parties.
School integration - as a
political issue between the
parties ranked just above
the missile race with the edi
tors and was- mainly ignored
by Republican and Demo
cratic lawmakers. The general
civil rights question did, not
make the list of the top ten
issues, either.

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
. Lefs talk for a moment to
day about territorial limits.
At this particular hour in his
tory it is a rather interesting
subject. It is especially inter
esting because of this little
squib in the news that as this
is written hasn't received
much play in the headlines:
"Red China has extended
its TERRITORIAL LIMITS 12
nautical miles off the main
land. The communists said
this puts BIG QUEMOY
ISLAND inside Red China's
territory."
WHY is that interesting?
' It's quite a story-much
too long to be gone into in
detail here. It tracks back to
the beginnings of internation
al law. Under international
law, the territorial- limits of
a nation was generally agreed
to extend out three miles from
its shores. Beyond this limit
was agreed to be international
waters, free to the ships of
all nations. This three-mile
limit was vaguely regarded
as the limit of cannon range.
Here is the point:
WITHIN this three mile
limit the authority of the na
tion concerned has been re
garded as prevailing.
RUT- -
As time passed (and as
the range of cannon was ex
tended and -aerial bombing
came into the picture) condi
tions changed. In men's minds,
at least, it was accepted that
three miles is a pretty short
distance. So a LONGER dis
tance came to be talked about
But, whatever the distance,
the - authority of the nation
within the limit has been ac
cepted as prevailing.
That is to say:
If the Red Chinese can
establish a territorial limit
of 12 nautical miles they will
establish a claim that these
islands of Quemoy and Matsu
are THEIRS.
Little Iceland is flirting
with this same theory in its
claim to all the fish in the
seas within 12 miles of Ice
land's shores. 1
TOTE, please, that the Chi-
' nese Reds are extending
their territorial limits claim
12 NAUTICAL miles off the
mainland. That also is inter
esting. A nautical mile is long
er than a land mile. A land
mile is 5,280 feet. The nauti
cal mile used by the U.S.
Navy is 6,080.27 feet. The nau
tical mile used by, the British
Navy is 6,080 feet A nautical
mile is the practical equival
ent of one-sixtieth of one de
gree, or a minute of arc, of
the earth's circumference. A
nautical mile is about 1.15
land miles. Anyway, by using
nautical miles, the Chinese
extend their territorial claim
a little farther out.

THE interesting part of it
all is that this territorial
waters claim by the Chinese
Reds MIGHT result in the

winding up in TALK instead
of shooting.

American Airman
Kills Japanese
In Gun Accident
Tokyo (UPD A U.S. air
man today described as "a
horrible accident" a shooting
incident in which he fatally
wounded a Japanese passen
ger aboard a train. But pub
lic anger was swelling and
the U.S. Army feared another
Girard case.
The airman was Peter E.
Longpre, 19, of Lakewood,
Calif., on duty at Johnson Air
Force" Base when a rifle he
was carrying fired and fatal
ly wounded Sachiyuki Miya
mura, 22, a music student who
was riding by in. a train.
'Deeply Sorry
Longre issued a formal
statement today saying, "I
am deeply sorry." Col. Ray
Vindiver, commander of the
air base, expressed his own
"deepest personal and official
regret" for the incident. Van
diver appealed for the "under
standing and good will" of the
Japanese and said he hoped
the case could be resolved
with "equity and justice."
But already groups were
at work in Japan to revive
the jurisdiction issue which
had been fought once before
under similar circumstances
in the case of Sp3c William S.
Girard who shot and killed a
Japanese woman on a rifle
range.
Investigation Demanded
The powerful S o c i alist
party told the supreme procurator-general's
office (pub
lic prosecutor) today it was
difficult to interpret the Long
pre case as an "on duty crime"
and demanded it conduct a
thorough investigation."
Longpre, in his statement,
said, . "I accidentally dis
charged an M-l rifle which
I carried in the course of my
duty ... I did not intend to
shoot at anyone or anything.
I didn't realize that there was
a magazine in the rifle at the
time of the incident."
