Newspaper Page TextTitan Missile Makes Test Flight Cape Canaveral, Fla. -&PD-An Air Force Titan missile, apparently free of a long series of .troubles that plagued it last year, roared off on a 5.000 mile test flight over the Atlantic Tuesday. The Titan, a two-stage in tercontinental ballistic mis file, is supposed to be combat ready by the end of the year. Tuesday's launching was the seventh success in 11 tries for the 98-foot missile. Recovery teams, were sta tioned in the South Atlantic near Ascension Island to try to recover a data capsule from the nose cone which was equipped with a radio beacon to help the searchers. The flight was designed to test a radio-inertial guidance system which sent back mes sages to ground crews about the maneuvers it would have taken during the flight if it were actually controlling the missile's direction. Nixon's Attitude on Domestic Issues Due To Face Challenge Satellite Launch Attempt Fails Cape Canaveral, Fla. -HJPD-The United States tried to send a satellite into orbit to day to study radiation perils facing space travelers but the attempt failed. The rocket was launched at 8:35 a.m. (p.s.t.) but 50 min utes later the National Aero nautics and Space Adminis tration announced in Wash ington that the 35.3 pound satellite had not gone into orbit. Rocket scientists at Cape Canaveral suspected that one of the upper stages of the four-stage Juno II rocket fail ed to ignite. No indication was received that either the third or fourth stages fired. The payload had been sent up in what had been planned as the broadest study yet of the deadly radiation belt round earth called the Van Allen belt. (Second of three articles) Washington -The whole range of domestic affairs I forms a battleground more pitted with -controversy for Vice President Richard M. Nixon than his views on for eign policy. As a previous article poin ted out. he is clearly " inter nationalist" on foreign affairs - a position which makes the probable Republican Presi dential nominee relatively in vulnerable in that field against the opposing Demo crats. But a special report on Nix on's detailed stands and vot ing record prepared by Con gressional Quarterly displays a Nixon record on the "pocket book" issues - economic poli cy, taxes, civil benefits, etc. - which often clashes resound ingly with the opposition. This is what Nixon himself said about his economic phil osophy in 1958: ". . . it has al ways been what I would call a conservative philosophy, con servative certainly on fiscal matters, conservative in the sense that, generally speaking, private enterprise can do a more effective job than gov ernment enterprise in any par ticular field . . ." Nixon is against '"huge new governmental spending pro grams . . . not because we op pose the goals of the programs but because we know they won't produce what they pro mise." Supports Administration Nixon has suported the Ad ministration in its "sound dol lar" and "balanced budget" policies. Last month he said: "I think that any administra tion would be taking a com pletely irresponsible position . . . to simply wink at and to laugh off additional expendi tures which might unbalance the budget without national security reasons to do so." VEDDIMG PLANNED Riverside, Calif. - (UTD-Ac-trtss Jill St. John and mil lionaire sportsman Lance Reventlow, only son of dime store heiress Barbara Hutton, have obtained a marriage lic ense. Friends said the couple probably will marry Thurs FARLEY TO RUN New York-(UPD-New York Democratic Party Leader Car mine G. DeSapio has an nounced that James A. Far ley, former postmaster gen eral and campaign manager for President Roosevelt, will run for Democratic National Convention delegate in Manhattan. But he has not gotten direct ly into the controversy over whether national security now demands more defense spend ing. Of complaints about the so called "missile gap," he said in January: "We need con stant examination and con structive criticism of our de fense posture, pointing up our weakness where they exist. But constructive criticism is one thing; making America appear weaker than she is to potential aggressors is an other. It is time to quit sel ling America short. We are not a second-rate country . . ." He says there is no "deter rent gap" in American defen ses and will not be "in 1961, 1962, 1963 or the forseeable future. "The Administration's program, he says, "is and will be devised to assure the Amer ican people that there will be no deterrent gap." Nixon was the first person in the Administration to point out the challenge presented by the launching of the Rus sian satellite Oct. 4, 1957, when he said 11 days later that "we could make no great er mistake than to brush off this event as a scientific stunt . . ." Education Nixon will be severely at tacked by the Democrats on his aid-to-education stands. On Feb. 3, he refused to break a tie vote in the Senate to pass an amendment which would have authorized federal aid to school construction and teach ers' salaries. He said of that action that "we believe that the federal government should limit its aid, in the case -of education, to construction." Nixon supports the Admin istration on the support-of-school-bonds approach rather than outright grants to com munities for school construc tion. This contrasts with Nix on's - and the Adminstration's - position on aid to school construction in 1957. That year President Eisenhower proposed a direct-grant bill which Nixon urged Congress to pass. It did not pass and the Administration has since turned to the bond approach. On Jan. 15, Nixon said "I believe that education is and should remain primarily a lo cal and state responsibility Nixon's record on civil Ing "a flexible parity system aimed at keeping surpluses under control; . . . developing new markets; increased re search . . .; continued soil con servation ;" He said "we believe in" this program.

Today, thanks to Smirnoff, almost everyone w ho drinks at all knows and loves this tall, cool Collins-with-a-difference. It's one of the delicious Smirnoff drinks that have changed the drinking habits of America!

He the time I entered I've taken what would be called a strong position on this issue. Part of this is back ground background of my college education, Quaker school and the like." Nixon is a Quaker. Nixon wrote, with Sen. Karl E. Mundt (R-S.D.), the Mundt Nixon bill in 1948. It would have required Communist front organizations to register with the Attorney General. The bill was incorporated in the Internal Security Act pas sed in 1950. Here are Nixon's views on other areas on the domestic front: Labor- Voted for the Taft Hartley Act over President Truman's veto in 1947. Said of the labor reform bill passed last year: "The bill, which has been much criticized by some sections of labor, I think was the proper approach." Farm Problems- In 1955, he outlined the Adminstra tion's farm program, includ- Congress I cem t,rlue "PP""s. Slum Clearance Builders should "step up in the United States a dynamic program to eradicate slum and blighted areas." While in Congress, he opposed most programs for public housing and slum clear ance. Taxes- He has called for "more liberal treatment of de preciation for business taxa tion purposes," consideration of "downward adjustments .in business taxes." study of over hauling excise taxes and he has complained about the "al most confiscatory rates in the high (income) brackets (which) stifle and prevent risk-taking and encourage tax avoidance devices." Of these views, he said on Sept. 6, 1958: "The charge will inevitably be made that such reforms will benefit business and not. the people . . . but let us under stand once and for all that 'business is the people'."

A bee-you-tee-ful hostess was singing the praises of a strawberry pie for a gorgeously gooey commercial. A prop man noticed at the last minute that the ' usual whipped - cream, topping was missing, so he sub stituted shaving cream. The hostess took one fat bite ... 2. An announcer declared a certain dog food was the delight of every pooch. "Watch Towser devour this," he urged. Some pranksters in the studio, however, had substituted sawdust for the dog food, Towser took one sniff, then bit the announcer in the ankle. 3. Two announcers fluffed. One, describing a dainty beauty, proclaimed, "Her breath will take your beauty away." The second attributed a news .flash, to "xespected White House souses." A Hollywood psychiatrist is experimenting with a new form of shock treatment for his wealthier patients. He sends them his bill in advance. 1960, by Bennett Cerf.
