The officials said mobility to be given the Polaris, by putting the missile on trucks, railroad cars or barges, would remove many European ob jections that balked previous programs to deploy the 1,500- mile Thor and Jupiter mis siles abroad. To Discuss Program President Eisenhower and French President Charles de Gaulle are expected to dis cuss the land-based Polaris program during de Gaulle's official visit to Washington Decisive action toward ap proving the American plan could be taken at a meeting of the NATO foreing minis ters in Istanbul May 2-4. Defense Secretary Thomas S. Gates Jr., told a news con ference Thursday that devet opment of the Polaris could begin in Europe before 1863 if NATO leaders acted promptly In approving a pro posal made by the United States In Paris last month. Principal Objection One of the principal Euro pean objections to the Thor and Jupiter missiles, both liquid-fueled, was that they would be located at fixed bases, which would make nearby population centers subject to attack as military objectives. The solid -fueled Polaris, much smaller and requiring comparatively little servicing, can be placed far from popu lation centers. In addition, the Polaris' mo bility would prevent the Rus sions from training their at tack missiles on any particu lar locations. Kennecott Copper ..... ...

(UPI Radiotelephoto) Religious Issue Said Certain To Remain as Part of Campaign Washington tUPD- The so called religious issue appears sure to remain in the I960 political campaign because it will be subject to constant as sessment by those who will select the Democratic presi dential nominee. Sen. John F. Kennedy, a Roman Catholic, and Sen. Hu bert H. Humphrey, a Protes tant, two of the rivals for that nomination, both laid out ar guments Thursday why there should be no such issue. Both contended that a can didate's religious faith spe cifically, Kennedy's - should not be a factor In the choice of a candidate. Both were ap plauded by their audience at the annual meeting of the American Society of Newspa pers Editors.

Children must bo accompanied by parents.) Chicago (UPD Daylight sav ings time goes into effect for most Americans Sunday, but it will also turn the United States into a nation divided. Only about half the popu lation moves Its clocks ahead an hour. But practically everyone feels the effects of the lost hour, which is prob ably why more and more com munities now go on fast time for part of the year. A survey by a watch com pany shows that 81,275,000 of the estimated U.S. population of 180,000,000 will move up their clocks at 2 a.m. April 24. This is 50.7 per cent of the population, a substantial in crease over the 30 per cent which made the switch a dozen years ago. . Time Changers States going on daylight time April 24, with a few lo cal exceptions, include: All New England, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Penn sylvania, Illinois, Wisconsin, Nevada, California and the District of Columbia. Minnesota will swing to daylight time under a new law, but only between May 22 and Sept. 6, Instead of be tween April 24 and Oct. 30, as most other fast-time states do. And San Diego will move back to standard time Sept. 25, more than a month ahead of the rest of California. A few whole stales return to standard time the last Sun day In September and a few communities turn back the clock In mid-summer. To add to the confusion, several states and cities now observ ing standard time the year around are considering adopt ing dnylight time. Bills Pending Bills to this effect will go before the voters this fall in Washington, Oregon and Bir mingham, Ala. In Oregon, large numbers of farmers' groups have opposed daylight time, and In Washington, a Grange-sponsored measure prohibited It In 1952. Daylight savings time In Birmingham, Ala., would sim plify the city's contacU with neighboring Huntsville, which goes on daylight time to keep ll.s Redstone Arsenal from being two hours behind the Pentagon Instead of one.

Ohio Governor Spares Man's Life Columbus, Ohio -(UPD- Gov. Michael V. DiSalle today saved the life of condemned murderer Frank Poindexter, 50, because his partner in crime had been spared. The governor granted the convict clemency II hours be fore he was scheduled to die tonight In the Ohio peniten tiary electric chair. DiSalle commuted the death sentence to life after a week of indecision. Not to do so, he said, would create "a revul sion In the hearts and minds of responsible citizens who are concerned with the principle of equality before the law. Poindexter accompanied Hollis Leigh, Cincinnati, April 10, 1059, to the Hamilton, Ohio, home of Mr. and Mrs. Herschel Hires. Poindexter shot Mrs. Hires and she died. Leigh shot Hires, but he lived. Neither mentioned, how- ever, that the unsettled ques tion of whether Kennedy's re ligion would win or lose votes next Nov. 8 would influence many delegates at the Demo cratic National Convention next July. Both Kennedy and Hum phrey appealed to the editors not to let the press Inflame re ligious prejudice or overem phasize its importance. Kennedy expressed the be lief that the tide in West Vir ginia had turned against him recently because West Vir ginians were reading that his religion was an overriding is sue in that state. He faces Humphrey in the Democratic presidential primary there May 10. But it was Kennedy himself who pointed up the issue after he defeated Humphrey in the Wisconsin prlmajry this month. Asked if he had bene fitted from votes of Catholics, he said that whatever hap pened in Wisconsin there could be no such factor work ing for him in West Virgina because it had few Catholic voters. Watch West Virginia As he thus admitted, West Virginia is being watched to see whether there is evidence of a significant vote against Kennedy because of his re ligion. Kennedy and Humphrey both return to West Virginia for further campaigning next week. Kennedy was in Oregon today for a two-day swing in a state where he faces four other Democratic hopefuls in the presidential primary May 20. Humphrey was scheduled to address the Maine Demo cratic Convention tonight and a New Jersey Democratic din. ner Saturday night. Another announced candi' dale, Sen. Stuart Symington (D-Mo.), planned to start a two-day tour of Iowa today and to lay out his proposals for a farm program. Newspapers Said Guilty of Shortcomings Washington (U?D- A broad casting official told newspaper editors today that the press is guilty of many of the short comings which it has been criticizing in television. Frank Stanton, president of Columbia Broadcasting Sys tem, appeared before the an nual convention of the Ameri man Society of Newspaper Editors to reply, with caustic humor, to newspaper editorial criticism of TV programming. Democrats Accused Another convention speak er, Republican National Chair man Thruston B. Morton, ac cused congressional Demo crats of trying to concoct "an elixir for every elector." The Kentucky senator said Democrats are so eager to provide an election year boon for every type of voter that "they have developed more remedies than there are Ills." Stanton said that he has been a little baffled by some of the "righteous indignation about violence on television" which has been voiced edi torially by "newspapers which assign whole teams of re porters" to milk the last drop of sensation out of crime stories. ' "Some of the most eloquent protests against trivia on tele vision," he said,, "come from newspapers whose front pages have been ablaze with inside stories on personalities whose contributions to television are light entertainment. "Some of the most sensitive attention to decolletage on television has come from newspapers of well - earned reputations for warmly imagi native photographs of richly endowed actresses." Concern for Circulation "I am reluctant to conclude that this great gap between what you would wish of us and what many of you prac tice for yourselves results from a good, hard, practical concern for circulation." Stanton suggested that newspaper editors remember when appraising television, that "you, too, are supported by an advertising economy; that you, too, must entertain as well as inform and edify; that you, too, have the prob lem of providing something for everyone." . Gina Lollobrigida Heading for Canada Rome -(UPD- Glna Lollobrig' ida, Italy's most illustrious emigrant, left her pine-shaded Roman villa today for Hol lywood and a new life in Canada. She took her Yugoslav-born husband and their 2-year-old son with her, leaving her na tive land after a bitter fight with Italian red tape. "My mind is far away,1 Gina told UPI correspondent Herbert G. Spencer as she rushed to leave their villa on the ancient Appian Way. "What I have to do, I do We are going to Hollywood to finish the picture, then to Toronto to set up housekeep ing." N.Y. Longshoremen Return To Work New York -(UPD- Longshore- j men return to work today in the port of New York follow ing a nine-hour work stop- j page estimated to have cost about $1 million. ' Cause of Thursday's stop- i page was 90 white collar workers. Local 153 of the Of fice Employees' International Union spread pickets thinly over 75 per cent of the port In an effort to win recognition as bargaining agent for the New York Shipping Associa tion's office workers. The International Long shoremen's Association had agreed not to cross the picket lines. The pickets left after the local accepted a National La bor Relations Board proposal for a secret ballot election next Thursday on union representation.
