In his speech, Khrushchev said that in talking to Aus- trians, the view had been pre sented to him that Austria is a neutral country should not care about world politics. "I believe such views are erroneous," he said. "Neutrality is not a moun- tain chain separating Austria from the other world. The fight for peace is a common cause for all nations. If one country stays neutral in the fiKht for peace, world war may be the consequence. Aus tria as a neutral country can contribute considerably to preserve peace in Europe."

With the opening of the na tional convention only five days awuy, these two pivotal states have begun to look more and more like the key keepers to the outcome of the contest for the presidential nomination. Gov. Edmund G. Brown, fa vorite son candidate from Cal ifornia, is expected to endorse Sen. John F. Kennedy of Mas sachusctts by next week end, No one yet on the convention scene pretends to know which way Gov. David L. Lawrence of Pennsylvania will go.

Brown of Missouri, campaign manager Mrs. Neuberger Raps Vote Record Of Elmo Smith Monmouth fUPD Mrs. Mau- rine Neuberger said today that as a legislator Elmo Smith "has a record of re action unexceeded in modern Oregon history." Mrs. Neuberger and Smith are the Democratic and Re publican nominees, respec tively for the U.S. Senate in November. It was one of the first times in her campaign she has criticized Smith. She told an Oregon College of Education alumni group that differences in legislative records between herself and Smith would give voters "an unusual opportunity" to choose between two candi dates at opposite ends of the political spectrum. Record Defended She defended her legisla tive record when a member of the Oregon House. She said she consistently support ed legislation "to protect con sumers, to improve education. to conserve and develop our natural resources, to save tax payers' dollars by school re organization, to e s t a b Ush Portland State college, to support the United Nations and to provide equal rights to all Americans regardless of race, color or creed. Mrs. Neuberger said "pro fessional public relations men are trying to remake Elmo Smith into a 'modern Repub lican'." She added, "unfor tunate for Elmo Smith, is his voting record from the voters' view. Oregonians are not go ing to forget the many times when he stood in the Oregon Senate and voted against edu cation, against conservation, against civil rights and against the United Nations." for Sen, Stuart Symington of Missouri, told a news confer ence Tuesday thnt estimates of delegate strength tn Penn sylvania would be worthless until Lawrence Is heard from. In the numbers game be fore the convention, some wildly varying rundowns are given on how the California delegation will split after its token vote for Brown.
