RETURN TO YESTERDAY
Chicago - They have re-
turned to yesterday. The Re
publican National convention
here was con
sciously and
carefully full
of nostag 1 i a
and remem
brance. It
was designed
- and in this
it largely suc-ceeded-to
William s provide me
hiiB sharpest con
. irast to the Democratic con
vention in Los Angeles.
That was a powerful,
modern show; the effort here
. was to present an old-fashioned
show - to present the Re
. .publican party as the party of
decorum and tradition.
The conduct of the new
. GOP presidential nominee,
Richard Nixon, from first to
last has been keyed to this
. note. The impression left is
that the Republicans propose
..to run their campaign on the
'.front porches of the small
. towns.
THUS the platform adopted
here is rather more con
servative than that of the
Democrats. Actually, all that
. has happened here has shown
the GOP rank and file to be
iore attached to the party's
.. old guard tradition than to its
..comparatively liberal Eisenhower-Nixon
wing.
.'. The true hero of the con-
vention was not the man
nominated by it for President;
the true hero was Sen. Barry
" Goldwater of Arizona, who
has become the new head of
right-wing Republicanism.
The cheers for Goldwater
. -that rose from the convention
".floor were deeply-felt cheers.
Most people would agree that
If Nixon had not already and
inevitably locked up the nomi
. .nation, it might well have
gone, assuming a free choice
on the floor, to Goldwater. i
- There has been something
of William McKinlcy here.
" There has been something of
'Robert A. Taft here. There
has not been much devotion
. Tiere among the delegates -oddly
enough - to the Eisen-
.. hower administration or even
to Nixon. His own decision to
adopt a slightly left-ot-ccnter
position has been accepted,
tmt not cheerfully.
7T1HE prevailing view here
- A from beginning to end was
: not really for such a course;
:.lt was for old-time Republi-
canism. Eisenhower was pop
.. ular here mostly because he is
officially a Republican; his
. ideas were far from popular.
What it probably indicates
..'for the fall is a campaign in
which Nixon himself will
1 take a "modern" Republican
. line - but will find himself
. far in advance of the rank and
' Jile of his party.
Party discipline here has
. been very strong; Goldwater
' has plainly and strongly told
:: Get a bigger slice of living ... .
open a savings account with us!
: . Slice your income any way you want . . . but put
. one slice, regularly, in a savings account with us.
:". Here your money will earn more money for
. you . . . and get you more of the
; good things of life. Twenty-five
.- million savers are getting a bigger
' slice of living the Insured Savings
.- and Loan way. Why don't you ?

his right-wing followers that
they simply must go along
with Nixon. All the same, the
right-wingers are not really
happy. There is a curious
irony in it all! Nixon will be
described by the Democrats
as too conservative, whereas
most of the Republican party
actually thinks he is too lib
eral. His tactics for the coming
struggle, meanwhile, are al
ready clear. He is going to
take and maintain a very
high-level position. He will
say nothing harsh of the
Democratic ticket of Kennedy
and Johnson. He will offer
himself as a grave and sober
man in an era of world crises.
Whatever "tough" work may
be done against the Demo
crats will not be done by
Nixon. For he. too, has surely
been influenced here by a Re
publican mood which is con
cerned more with tradition
than with modernism.
Children Happy
To See Mother
Windsor, Ont. - lUPIl - Three
Tecumseh, Ont., teen-agers
who spent the last 11 years
indoors probably ivill be sent
home within a few days, ac
cording to a Children's Aid
Society officials.
John Bevan, Windsor di
rector of the society, said it
was unlikely Mrs. Shirley
Leach or her husband will
face any charges.
Mrs. Leach saw her three
children, Constance, 18; Gor
don, 14, and Glenda, 13, Sun
day for the first time since
they were discovered in the
house Thursday. They were
happy to see their mother
again, hospital officials said,
although they have been
"having a ball" in their hos
pital ward.
Medical tests showed the
three children are suffering
from a pituitary gland disor
der and according to one doc
tor their confinement had lit
tle or nothing to do with their
diminutive stature.
Mrs. Leach said she kept
the three youngsters indoors
all the time because she was
afraid people would laugh at
them. "In Detroit the chil
dren were ridiculed by their
playmates because of their
size and I didn't want them
tortured over here," she ex
plained. ACTRESS DIES

By BENNETT CERF-
HHE FRIARS is a theatrical club in New York, famous
-L for testimonial dinners where the guests of honor
are insulted by experts. The more outrageous the insults,
the higher the guest
knows he stands in the
esteem of his jocular
vilifiers. Its dinner in
honor of Jack Benny
some years ago was
probably the greatest of
its kind: biggest tab,
biggest program, big
gest guest list of VIP'S.
While Geor ge Jessel was
insulting Bennyi Ber
nard Baruch appeared,
and the crowd turned to
greet him. Jessel mag
nanimously forgave
Baruch, but only, he
pointed out, "because this intruder has saved our coun
try five or six times."
After Benny had been persuaded to play "Love in
Bloom" on his fiddle, the late Fred Allen jumped up to
remark, "Jack Benny is the only violinist who makes
you feel the strings would sound better in the cat."
Herb Shrincr insists that one of his follow townsmen lias so
many gold teeth he sleeps with his head in a safe.

'Bugs' in Electra
Passenger Planes
Lockheed To Fix
Burbank, Calif. - (UPll -
Lockheed Aircraft will bring
every one of its 134 prop-iet
Electra airliners back to the
factory to eliminate a "bug"
that caused two fatal crashes.
Th modifications at Lock
heed's plant here will cost al
most S25 million, a company
spokesman told UPI. Lock
heed Vice President M. C.
Haddon said the firm will
assume a major share of spe
cific improvement costs."
Haddon said the first im
proved Electra would be
ready for federal aviation
agency tests and certification
by Nov. 1. All the big planes
operated by 13 airlines were
scheduled to be fixed by the
middle of next year.
To Make Other Changes
In announcing the modifi
cation program Sunday night,
Haddon said the company also
would make other structural
changes designed to make the
Electra the strongest aircraft
of its type in service.
The aircraft have been fly
ing at reduced speeds since a
Northwest Electra crashed
near Tell City. Ind., March
17 killing all 63 aboard. Sub
sequent investigation d i s
closed a structural weakness
that could cause a wing , to
fail under freakish circum
stances. The fatal "bug" that
doomed the Northwest plane.

Texas, last September, was a
weakness in the mounts that
held the outboard engines in
their nacelles. Investigation
disclosed these mounts vibrat
ed sufficiently to cause the
engine to shift its position.
At a certain speed, vibra
tion created a further strain
on the mounts and a chain re
action began to transmit the
engine movements to the
wing. The culmination of this
reaction was a flutter so vi
olent the wing separated from
the fuselage.

Aftermath:
It looks like the Republi
cans will stand and fight on
foreign affairs as the VITAL
issue facing our nation in
this campaign year of liltiO.
The Democrats will do
battle under the banner of
the more abundant life.
'PHIS IS the situation:
1 The GOP is numerical
ly weak. There are far
FEWER registered Republi
cans than registered Demo
crats. The Democrats are nu
merically superior. In the
registration figures, they far
outnumber the Republicans.
IN BETWEEN is a vast
body of voters who can go
either way in the general
election this November. The
job of the Republican party
is to PULL OVER enough of
these in-bet weeners to win
the critical IStfiO election.
ASSUMING that the GOP
decision is to base its case
on foreign affairs, this will
be its story.
Nixon and Lodge are bet
ter equipped by EXPERI
ENCE than Kennedy and
Johnson to handle our na
tion's foreign affairs in this
critical period. Both arc vet
erans of the cold war battle
for men's minds. Nixon has
been second in command on
r side. lie has stood up
against Comnuiists all over
the world, and hasn't flinched
when the going got rough.
He stood up to Khrushchev in
the in-fighting of the famous
kitchen spat and traded blow
for blow.
In the recent battle in Unit
ed Nations over our shot-down
bomber, Lodge distinguished
himself. He stood toe-to-toc
with the Communists and slug
ged it out with them. He cer
tainly gave as good as ho got.
He came fresh from that bat
tle to Chicago, and TV view
ers saw him gel almost an
adoring reception on the con
vention floor.

Household Appliance Sales
Not as High as Expected
By HENRY J. BECHTOLD
United Press International
New York -il'PU -The techni
cal factors for good demand
in household appliances are
present but consumers are
not buying.
Business is good, mind you.
but it is not as brisk as had
been anticipated six months
ago. Disposable personal in
come and outstanding consum
er credit have continued to
rise but retail appliance sales
are not rising in proportion.
lhis has caused many of
the experts to revise their
earlier forecasts of a record
year in lilliO for the appliance
industry.
The NCO Consulting serv
ice of the National Credit
Office here notes that manu
facturer reports indicate ship
ments in the first six monlhs
this year declined in all cate
gories of major appliances
with I ho exception of dish
washers, food wasle disposers
and the increasing popular
built-in ranges. Declines were
most severe in water heater
and home laundry lines.
The service points out that
inventories were built up
sharply following the steel
strike last year, and fairly
good first quarter business
served to encourage optimism
as sales of most producers
showed continued gains.
1959 Was Banner Year
But the second q u a r t e r
showed factory inventories
have climbed materially as
shipments have declined." and
some evidence of price-cutting
has appeared, a situation
that was not a problem last
year.

started in late 1058 continued!
unabated through most of j
195!) aided by a high level of,
housing starts and an active
replacement market.
Now the industry is faced
with a cloudy outlook over
the short run. But lor the
stirring lines of Kipling's Re
cessional: 'The tumult and the
shouting dies;
"The Captains and the
Kings depart:
'"Still stands Thine
ancient sacrifice,
"An humble and a
contrite heart."
lf the Republicans have a
chance to win in November
of this year, it will be because
of the humble and contrite
heart of the man who sils in
the White House and will sit
here until the 20th day of
January, 19(11.
The greatest asset of the
GOP is this man of humble
and contrite heart who is
loved, respected and TRUST
ED in his own country and
ALL OVER THE WORLD.
