Hence al most all tho delectation! here arc rnlber heavily over weighted with right wlngera. The pollllcnl flavor of Ihla convention cornea cloae to the convention that nominated Alt M.

But although tills peevlah churning la likely to be aoon forgotten, lt cause, the Fifth Avenue compact, will effect the whole courao of the com ing Presidential campaign. It points the course, Indeed. IN HUMAN and national policy tormi, the compact's moat stirring fcaturo waa the Vice President's abandonment of Prcaldont Elsenhower's In ternational and defense posi tion, In favor of the Rocke feller position, Out In domestic-political terms, the com pact's more significant fea ture la the North-centered campaign strategy which It re veals and dictates. This new Ncxon strategy, one may say, was born in Los Angeles, on tho day when the Democrats so surprising ly nomlnatod Sen, Lyndon B. Johnson for the Vlco- Prcaldoncy. Governor Rocke feller was only tho midwife. Before the Johnson nom ination, in other words, the Vice President and his staff had planned to moke up in the South for the electoral votes they expected lo lose to Senator Kennedy In New England and the big North ern industrial states. But af ter tho Johnson nomination, and long before Nixon's Jour ney to see Rockefeller, this reporter was told on the high eat possible authority that the strategy had been changed, "Now, we're going to have to slug It out In the big North ern states, toe to toe all the way," waa the statement. On civil rights, as on for eign policy and defense, Nix on would certainly have pre ferred to develop his position in his own way and on his own achcdulc. But after Nixon had adopted the strategy of "slugging It out in the big Northern slates," he could not possibly afford to fight for a milk and water civil rights plank against the kind caf plank desired by Rockefeller. WllIS, it can be stated, was the decisive consideration in Nixon's mind, when he made his solitary decision to put through a telephone call asking for a meeting with Rockefeller. The Vice Presi dent might have mobilized his big battalions to crush the New York Governor on de fense and foreign policy, al though he certainly did not wish to do so, since he and Rockefeller were in basic agreement. But Rockefeller's additional threat to make an issue of civil rights left Nix on no choice at all. On this Issue, Nixon had to make Rockefeller his part ner rather than fight him; and this is what he has done. This must mean, in turn, that the once-high Republican hopes for Southern electoral votes will have to be aban doned for good and all. The converse Is not neces sarily true. Senator Kennedy cannot depend on getting all the Southern votes. Some Southern states may well choose independent electors, who will cast their votes for the candidate of either of the All Speeches Sound Alike (Applause) To Addled Writer By DICK WEST International Amphitheat er, Chicago (UPD - I don't know if you have ever been addled by oratory, but I can toll you it's as bad as being stupefied by speeches, In the past fortnight or so of attending conventions, I estimate that I have absorbed at least 25 hours. of political prose, which is about 15 hours over my saturation point. This forensic fallout has reduced me to s quivering mass of ear-bent metaplasm, major parties. But after Nix on's stand here on civil rights, and especially after his sym bolic, emotionally charged stand on the sit-ins, the Nixon Kennedy battle is certain to be fought almost wholly above the Mason-Dixon line, (c) I960 New York Herald Tribune Inc. cringing before the spoken word. I long ago lost all abili ty to distinguish between speeches. Now they all sound like this: "Mr. chairman, delegates, alternates, distinguished guests, undistinguished guests, ushers, gate-crashers, mem bers of the great unseen tele vision audience, friends, fel low Americans and Uncle Lu ther. (Applausa) "We are gathered here to night for a great and solemn occasion, and, yes, an occa sion that is small and frivol ous. We are here to nominate the next nominee of the Unit ed States! (Applause.) "Our great party has be fore It a task of heavy respon sibility, which is not to be taken lightly. The action that we take here tonight shall de termine, in large measure and to a considerable degree, the man who. "Our great party has manv men who. It Is a party that spans the length and breadth of our great land, from the rock bound coast of Nebraska to the sun-kissed shores of Oklahoma." (Applause by Ne braska and Oklahoma delega tions.)

FAA Cuts Flight Insurance Limit Washington (UPD - The Fed eral Aviation agency has cut the flight insurance limit at Washington National airport in a frank effort to reduce the temptation for potential airline saboteurs.

It j impressed me as a master-1 piece. 11 was more than a ! great oration. ! It was a masterly summa tion of the grave Issues that I face our nation at this criti-1 cal moment in our history. TN THIS 1860-1900 ccnlon- nial year of the Republican party, Congressman Judd hearkened back to Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican 1'rcaldcnt, and told his par tisan hearers: "The gravest Issue of THIS century, loo, Is HUMAN SLAVERY this time not men enslaved by other men, but MASSKS OF MEN EN SLAVED BY GOVERN MENTS." He added: "MORE HUMAN BEINGS ARE IN BONDAGE TODAY THEN EVER BEFORE IN J1UMAN HISTORY." WHO arc these human be ings in bondage that he 1 referred to? They are the WHOLE TEOPLES who have been subjugated by communism, j Who Is enslaving them? The leaders of communism arc enslaving them. The grim objective of communism Is I OUR WHOLE WORLD In j bondage to a reactionary Idea ; Hint we In the United States ; of America refuse to accept. fpiIAT Is the Issue we face. I It is the issue we will , go lo war for-lF WE GO TO . WAR. All other issues arc j secondary. All our other prob lems are cnpablo of being re- j solved peacefully. This one j can mean WAR In the final , extremity. Mr. Judd drama tized that fact for us with grim clarity. Or so it seemed to me. WHO Is tills man Judd? Ills record la far too long to go Into here. He start ed out as a phyalclan and surgeon. World War I came along. He served through It In the field artillery. He came buck and tackled the Job of LEARNING MORE. He has a list of academic honom that would fill the rest of this column, Me served as a medical missionary and hospital su perintendent In China. Ho saw tho beginning of com munism there at first hand, lie camo home In 1038 and spent two years In an attempt to arouso Americans to the deadly menace of communist subversion In China. He was elected to tho House of Rep resentatives from Minnesota in 1042, and has served there ever since. HE IS more than an orator. He Is n man who has seen much, who has learned much, and who knows the meaning of what he has seen nd learned. MEDFORD DON'T MISS COME quick; While They Last! Shower Curtains $1 Repriced!
