Nixon's Career in
Distinct Trend To
(First of Three Articles)
Washington - By his own
description, Vice President
Richard M. Nixon is an "in
ternationalist" in foreign af
fairs and a "conservative" to
"middle-of-the-roader" on do
mestic policy.
His record on these matters
has been laid open in speeches
and votes during the 14 years
since he first ran for U. S.
Representative in the 12th
District of California in 1946.
His stands and votes on the
issues have been catalogued
and organized in a special
report by Congressional Quar
terly. This article reviews Nixons
position on foreign affairs.
Next, his views on domestic
issues will be analyzed.
Whether or not there is an
"old" and a "new" Nixon,
both of them, with some ex
ceptions, are distinctly inter
nationalist. In his first year
in the House, 1947, he was
a strong supporter of foreign
aid. Since then, he has trav
eled to five continents and
about 60 countries and more
- than ever is urging active
American participation in
world developments and the
problems of other nations.
On Marshall Plan Committee
As a freshman congress
man, Nixon went to Europe
in the fall of 1947 with the
Herter Committee, headed by
Rep. Christian A. Herter (R
Mass.), now secretary of state,
to make an on-the-spot study
of the requirements and re
sources of countries receiving
help under the foreign aid
program in connection with
the newly proposed Marshall
Plan.
It was this direct encoun
ter with Europe's problems
that convinced Nixon of the
value of U. S. economic aid to
forestall Communism in the
free world. In 1947, 1948 and
1949, he voted in favor of
military and economic aid
both to European and Asian
nations.
He favored a substitute
proposal to provide less
money for arms to NATO na
tions in 1949 but supported
the final mutual security au
thorization that year.
In January of 1950, he op
posed a $60 million authoriza
tion for Korean aid. but a
month later approved of the
same proposal when the Ko
Door Falls Off
Jet in Flight
New York-UJPD-John Glea-
son said his house vibrated
and "right after that we heard
a crack like a plane breaking
the sound barrier."
Gleason learned the vibra
tion was caused by a 25-pound
door that struck the roof of
his house after it was ripped
off a Trans-World Airlines
Boeing 707 Jetliner Saturday
night.
The airline said the acci
dent apparently oc curred
shortly after the Los Angeles
bound jet took off from Idle
wild Airport, which is near
Gleason's home, with 100 pas
sengers. No one felt anything
during the flight, but mechan
ics found the 10-by-3 foot door
to the plane's air conditioning
system missing after it landed
in Los Angeles.
Gleason said his wife be
came hysterical with fear.
He said the door knocked
four slates from the roof of
his house and he thought the
crack came when "the sharp
end of the door hit the ground
in the backyard."
Petty Larceny Charge
Brings Jail Sentence
Donald Lee Addington, 34,
Wilson lane. Central Point,
was sentenced to one year in
the county jail on charges of
petty larceny, district court
officials reported Friday. Ad
dington was charged with tak
ing two cartons of cigarettes
from a local market. He plead
ed guilty.
Schedule Told for Parish
Mission at Sacred Heart
The Rev. P. J. Philbin,
OSM. is in Medford this week
conducting a parish mission
at Sacred Heart church. First
session of the mission was
held last night following the
regular Sunday evening mass.
Father Philbin is from the
Portland, Ore., establishment
of the 700-year-old Order of
the Servants of Mary at the
National Sanctuary of Our
Sorrowful Mother. Priests sta
tioned at this world - famous
shrine are regularly engaged
in conducting parish missions,
novenas. 40 hours devotions,
' retreats, and year-around pub
lic devotions at the Sanctuary.
While the primary purpose
of the parish mission is to
give the Catholic layman an
opportunity to renew his reli
gious fervor, all scheduled
services are open to all per
sons not of the Roman Catho
rean situation worsened. The
Korean conflict began June
25, 1950.
In the Senate in 1951,
Nixon joined in approval of a
resolution saying that no U.S.
ground troops beyond the
planned four divisions should
be sent to Europe without
Congressional approval. He
also opposed the Truman ad
ministration on the firing of
Gen. Douglas MacArthur and
introduced a resolution asking
that MacArthur be restored
to his post.
Trade Policy
Nixon has favored a liberal
trade policy as Vice President
and asked in 1957 that the
Reciprocal Trade Agreements
act be extended "at least five
years," but in the House in
1949 he voted to kill the
Trade Agreements act of
1949.

Washington Shows
Internationalist
Nixon was one of the 57
sponsors of the orginial Brick
er amendment in 1952 provid
ing that treaties should not
take precedence over the
Constitution or become inter
nal law without additional
legislation by Congress. Later,
as Vice President, however,
he opposed such an amend
ment. .
Another turnabout in his
position concerned nuclear
tests. When Democratic Presi
dential candidate Adlai Ste
venson proposed cessation of
tests in 1956, Nixon said "Mr.
Stevenson's brand of peace
seems to amount to achieving
peace through weakness. But
the Eisenhower administra
tion believes in keeping peace
by staying powerful."
Since then, the administra
tion has ceased tests. Nixon
said last November that any
one urging a resumption of
nuclear weapons tests "at this
point" was ignorant of the
facts. "Having all the facts, I
can say the President reached
the right decision."
Here are some characteris
tic statements made by Nixon
on foreign policy subjects:
"Let us talk less about our
world leadership and more
about our partnership with
other free nations." June 25,
1957.
On Economic Aid-'The bil
ilon , dollars we are spending
for economic assistance to
these uncommitted areas . . .
is an investment in our own
freedom and independence. It
is the premium we pay to in
sure our survival as a free
people." June 9, 1957.
Trade - America's policy
should be "more trade, not
less." Feb. 19, 1960.
Russia-" ... we can make
no greater mistake than to un
derestimate the ability of
those who guide the destiny
of the Soviet empire today . . .
We are not going to change
Communist policy with a
smile or a handshake. They
are hard-headed realists mo
tivated by their own self-in
terest. They will respect us
only if we firmly stand by our
principles and our ideals."
Jan. 27, 1959.
Exchange of Persons-"May
I emphasize . . . the over
whelming importance of ex
panding our program for ex
change of persons." June 7,
1956.
United Nations -"It is far
from being a perfect instru
ment for settling internation
al disputes. But in providing
a forum for discussion of dif
ferences and for mobilizing
world opinion against the use
of force as an instrument of
national policy, it renders a
significant service to the
cause of peace." Sept. 14,
1959.
Captive Nations-"To those
who scoffed at (Dulles') advo
cacy of peaceful liberation for
the captive " peoples, he was
stating the only position that
a self-respecting, free people
could take." June 19, 1959.
World Court-". . . we must
have something other than the
balance of terror or the rule
of terror: the rule of law. The
repeal of the Connally amend
ment (under which the U.S.
reserves the right to decide
what cases involving it will
go before the World Court) is
a small step, but an important

MARCH 17 THROUGH MARCH 31

step in that direction." Jan.
15, 1960.
Red China-"I can think of
nothing which would be more
detrimental to the cause of
freedom and peace . . . than
to recognize Red China and
admit it to the United Nations
at this time ..." Feb. 6,
1960.

Medford Airport
To Get TACAN
In Near Future
Medford will become an im
portant link in the nation's
air navigation system on or
about March 25, with the com
missioning of the bearing and
distance measuring features of
the Tactical Air Navigation
System (TACAN), operated in
conjunction with the very
high frequency omnidirection
al radio range (VOR).
The VOR and TACAN to
gether is known as VORTAC,
which has been designated as
the "common system" short
range navigation system to
meet both civil and military
requirements. The facility is
located 6.4 miles northwest of
Medford Municipal airport.
The new facility has been
installed and will be commis
sioned by the federal aviation
agency. It is easy to recognize
this facility by its distinctive
shape. It is enclosed in a 16
foot high plastic cone mounted
atop a 10 foot building. From
safely within the cone, the
VOR antenna emits static-free
radio signals in all directions
for the guidance of pilots.
The radio signals from the
ground station radiates a pat
tern defining an infinite num
ber of courses that may be
flown as well as distance in
formation from the common
ground site. These signals
from the ground station when
received in the aircraft are
converted . into a reading in
degrees and mileage for the
pilot to see. The ground sta
tions cover about a 50 mile
radius at the lower altitudes
around the transmitter and
greater distances at the high
er altitudes such as. those be
ing used by the new jet air
liners. Normally they are plac
ed about 100 miles apart along
the airways.

Judge Comments
On Case About
Jubilee Incident
A Jackson county circuit
court jury requested leniency
for Carroll Zachary, 25, of
Medford, who received a one
year suspended sentence for
assault and battery, Circuit
Judge Edward C. Kelly point
ed out, after hearing Zachary
has had difficulty finding a
job because of the case.
The jury requested lenien
cy, and stipulated Zachary be
required to keep the peace,
refrain from use of all alco
holic beverages, and "be en
joined from ownership of any
firearms."
Since the jury reduced the
charge from assault with a
deadly weapon, involving a
special deputy during the
Jacksonville Jubilee last sum
mer, to assault and battery,
jury members apparently
didn't take a serious view of
the offense, Judge Kelley in
dicated. The circuit court judge also
pointed out that testimony of
witnesses indicated some ques
tion of whether or not Zach
ary actually did jam a gun
into the special deputy's ribs.
His employer fired him
from his job following the
trial, it was reported..

was resting comfortably today,
in "excellent condition" re
cuperating from Saturday's
operation for removal of his
prostate, gland. .
Lenox Hill Hospital said the
80-year-old general's condition
was so good 24 hours after
surgery that no new medical
bulletin would be issued un
til later today.
MacArthur entered the hos
pital Jan. 29, three days after
his birthday, suffering from
a urological infection due to
a blockage of the urinary
tract. The blockage was
blamed on an enlarged pros
tate, and surgery was decided
upon more than a month ago.
Saturday's operation was not
an emergency.
Inc.
Sinners Said Subject of Prayer
Because of Close Identification
By THE MOST REV.
FULTON SHEEN
Catholic Auxiliary Bishop
of I"w York
Written for UPI
During Lent we pray for
sinners, not because we, con
sider ourselves holier than
sinners; rather we identify
ourselves with them, as our
Lord did. He permitted Him
self to feel the effects of their
sin, and to such an extent that
the olive roots of the Garden
were crimsoned with drops of
His blood which fell like
beads in the great rosary of
redemption.
Seek No Consolation
The sin of the world is our
sin; wherever there is starva
tion, we are hungry; wher
ever there are blind, we of
fer our eyes for their seeing.
We seek no isolation or con
solation from the evils of men.
If we were the only person
in . the world who were
healthy, would we not min
ister to the sick and the dis
eased? Goodness claims no
immunity while there are
some without salvation. Our
Blessed Mother was without
sin and yet she stood at the
cross to share in the work of
redemption. Our Lord was di
vine goodness itself and yet
He was upright as a priest
and prostrate as a victim on
the cross for all nations, all
tribes and all peoples.
