Nixon Takes Presidential Campaign
To Far Corners of Hawaiian Islands
Honolulu -IUPII- Vice Presi
dent Richard Nixon beamed
his; presidential campaigning
today Into the remotest
reaches of this far-flung island
state as he backed up his
pledge to campaign anywhere
and everywhere as the GOP
presidential nominee.
Nixon believes that even
the smallest slate may decide
what he sees as a hairline
November contest and he is
pitching hard for Hawaii's
three electoral votes.
First in History
Already, Nixon Is the first
presidential nominee to cam
paign Hawaii in all of its
proud history. He set out to
day on a schedule that would
make him the first nationally
elected official tv visit more
than two of Hawaii's five ma
jor islands.
Although some 70 per cent
of the people and votes are
on the island of Oahu, Nixon
scheduled island hopping vis
its and handshaking tours of
such lesser known islands as
Kauai and, Mnul as well as
the "big island" of Hawaii, the
area hereabouts hardest hit
Climbers Conquer
Granite Wall of
Colorado Peak
Estes Park, Colo. - IUPD -Two
Californians set their
sights toward new goals today
after conquering the Dia
mond, a previously uncllmbed
1,000 -foot vertical granite
wall on the east face of 14,-256-foot
Longs Peak.
Teacher Robert F, Kamps,
27, North Hollywood, and
David Rearlck, 28, a Pasa
dena mathematician, crawled
over the top of the Diamond
Wednesday afternoon, and
hiked up the last 250 feet to
the top of the mountain.
The Californians began
their assault of the cliff, the
last tinclimbcd major moun
tain face in the United States,
Monday. They made only 400
feet the first day. Cold drove
them back to spend, the night
at a grassy meadow beneath
the towering wall.
Hopes Secured
They started out again
Tuesday on the tension climb,
using ropes secured to steel
pitons pounded into the moun
tain face to pull themselves
up, and got about two-thirds
of the way up the slope.
They spent the night roped
to a narrow ledge on the over
hanging face of the cliff.
The last 300 feet of the
Diamond, which Kaps and
Rearick negotiated Wednes
day, were the toughest, due
to the face which sloped back
6 per cent from vertical and
left them hanging from their
ropes.
Once to the top of the cliff,
however, they bounded easily
up to the top of Longs Peak,
and signed the guest register
of persons who have climbed
the peak before by easier
' routes.

Portland - IUPI1 - Portland
police are intensifying a
search for a suspect in the
$46,000 robbery of the Hills
dale branch of the Multno
mah bank Monday,
A picture of the suspect
has been picked from police
files by at least four witnesses
to the robbery - the third
largest In the history of the
state.
The gunman escaped with
$48,000 in cash and over $3,
000 in Series E bonds Monday
after taping a female teller
and forcing another clerk to
open the vault. The gunman
had gained entrance to t h e
bank through a rear window
and waited until the first
workers showed up in the
morning.
Police and the FBI have
Indicated they think the rob
ber is the same man who suc
cessfully stuck up the Hous
ing Authority office here June
1, and escaped with $400.
The Monday robbery was
the largest since 1955 when
the Inland Empire bank in
Umatilla was robbed.of $47,
000 In cash. Largest Oregon
bank robbery to date was the
1947 robbery of the Sweet
Home bank which netted four
gunmen $58,000.

their DC-7 airliner and were
greeted by some 3,000 well
wishers at the airport.
At Nixon's elbow was Sen.
Hiram L. Fong (R-Hawaii) and
Secretary of the Interior, Fred
A. Seaton, both of whom ac
companied him from Washing
ton. It was Nixon's first visit to
the 50th state since It won
admission to the nation, but
it was his fifth trip to the
islands.
Nixon told reporters that
"the President of the United
States must always put the
security of America first and
obtain intelligence informa
tion that will protect us
against surprise attack" such
as Japan's onslaught against
Hawaii which launched Amer
ica into World War II.
Accuses Kennedy ''
In the evening, the vice
president appeared pn an
hour-long statewide television
show where he charged that
his Democratic opponent for
the presidency has paid the
price of allowing the nation's
union leaders to dictate his
labor platform in order to gel
their support.
He answered questions put
to him by Hawaii's newspaper
editors. Nixon said it was his
contention that "the President
of the United States cannot
owe his election to any one
group or be under the influ
ence of any one segment of
the people of the United
Slates."
The vice president was
scheduled to wind up his Ha
waiian campaigning with a
major speech tonight in Hono
lulu and will leave Friday
morning aboard a chartered
flight for Seattle, Wash.
Woman Ends Career
Of 'Singing' Snake
Rome, Vt.-Mrs. Myra T.
Stansell was walking in her
backyard on her way to feed
the chicken when she heard
a pleasant sound like some
thing or someone "singing."
She looked in the direction
of the sound just in time to
see a rattlesnake. She leaped
back before the snake could
strike.
The snake didn't have a
second chance. Mrs. Stansell
summoned a neighbor and
they shot the snake with a
shotgun. Just to make sure,
they fired several rifle bullets
into the snake's body and beat
it with a large stick.
