Vice President
Wants Stronger
Stand on Issue
Chicago (WD - Vice Presi
dent Richard M. Nixon said
today the civil rights plank
approved by the GOP plat
form committee Is "unsatis
factory as far as I am con
cerned" and should be re
placed by a stronger decla
ration.
The vice president arrived
In Chicago lo find a sharp
split in the platform commit
tee on the subject of civil
rights.
Nixon told a crowded news
conference soon after arriv
ing here from Washington
that "I believe it essential
that tlie Republican conven
tion adopt a strong civil rights
plnnk - an honest one which
will deal . , , with the spe
cific problems we desire to
reach."
To Command Sit-ins
He said, for example, that
he would insist that the plank
'commend Negro sit-In dem
onstrators and recognize the
right of people to assemble
"peaceably, without violence"
to secure their Just rights.
Nixon said he had taken a
personal interest in the civil
rights plank and had studied
the issue with an eya to de
vising proposals which were
attainable. .
Nixon said he was not
"wedded" to any specific Ian
guage so long as his objec
tives were spelled out ade
quately. He made the statement
when asked if he would in
sist on the specific language
used in .the . 14-polnt state
ment of principles propound'
cd by himself and Gov. Nel
son A. Rockefeller at their
secret New York conference
last week.
Turning to the vice presi
dency, Nixon said he would
not make known his pref
erence for a running mate un
til the party selected its pres
idential candidate. He is a
shoo-in for the nomination.
Nixon again declared his
belief that Rockefeller is out
of the vice presidential fig
ure. Nixon said he would talk
with Rockefeller today as
well as other delegates vital
ly Interested In the platform.
He also said that whoever is
chosen vice president must
share his views on foreign
policy, humon rights and ec
onomic policy.

Russians Accused
Of 'Piracy' in
Downing US Plane
United Nations, N.Y. - HOT -
The United States accused
Russia today of a "criminal
and reckless act of piracy" In
shooting down an RB47 recon
naissance plane. ' It said a
Soviet fighter plane tried to
force the RB47 onto Soviet
territory before it was shot
down over international
waters. .
U.S. Ambassador Henry
Cabol Lodge said secret U.S.
electronic devices based in
England tracked the p 1 a n a
throughout its entire flight.
He asked If Russia was seek
ing a pretext for war.
Wants Investigation
In a formal resolution
Lodge challenged Moscow to
submit the case to investiga
tion by a commission of the
United States and Russia and
third party acceptable to
both, or to take it before the
ntcrnational Court of Justice
at The Hague. Russia imme
diately rejected the demand.
The United States wanted
the commission to inspect the
site, examine the wreckage
and question the survivors
and other witnesses.
U.S. Calls It Piracy
"Our purpose here is not lo
defend ourselves," Lodge said.
"We have done nothing which
requires defense. v We want
the council to deal with this
criminal and' reckless .act of
piracy committed by the So
viet union so that our men,
now In Illegal detention, may
be freed, and so that the
whole world may breathe
more easily again."
Soviet Deputy Foreign Min
ister Vasily V. Kuznctsov
promptly termed Lodge's pre
sentation "a coarse fabrication
from beginning to end made
up for the deceit of the people
of the United States and
world public opinion" with
'no factual material behind
it."

Regarding School

He said the opinion would
apply to annexation of an
area, a move which does not
necessarily fall within the
state reorganization program
In a previous opinion, the

that the boundary board could
not Initiate an action. Any
thing affecting reorganization
of school: districts has to go
