The shouters were admit tedly mostly Democrats in a mostly Democratic city, gath ered to hear Sen. John F. Kennedy talk. But they re acted to the questions on for eign affairs and defense and remained relatively impassive when reclamation, natural re sources and other Western standbys were mentioned. Thereby they reflected the trend among voters in the na tion's high country, the moun tain states of Montana, Wyo jning, Colorado, New Mexico jnd Utah.

At the helm, or reins in this case, is Capt. Frank Becker, skipper of Becker Tugs at Detroit, Mich. Behind him is Ray mond Tarenski, 49, builder of the miniature "shrimp boat". Tarenski spent a year build ing the craft. It is 6Vs feet long, has an 18 inch beam and draws eight inches of water. The boat is built of aluminum and has an engine that develops l horsepower at 125 pounds of steam pressure. The model is guided by pulling the ropes.

This is particularly true in heavily Protestant southeast New Mexico. The normally Democratic majority in this region has been sullen since Los Angeles; Kennedy's sup port comes from more popu lous Albuquerque. Sen. Dennis Chavez, (D- Says ... we recommend .

SP y?169 FREE PARKING RIGHT AT THE DOOS N.M.), who is not seeking re election, has charged fellow Democrats Gov. John Bur roughs and National Commit teeman Tom Brown, both from eastern New Mexico, with not working hard enough for Kennedy. Both have denied Chavez' charge, but Burroughs, ob servers say, is running scared in his race for reelection against Republican Edwin L. Mechem, a three-time gover nor whom Burroughs narrow ly ousted in 1958. Another place where re ligion could be a factor is in eastern Montana, a region with many Protestants of Scandinavian extraction. But in Montana, as in Wyoming, Colorado and Utah, there has been little overt talk of re ligion in the campaign. When Kennedy campaigned in Salt Lake City, he stressed the past tribulations of the Mor- mon people who predominate there, making a strong bid for the state's support. The Latter Day Saints Church, most po tent force in Utah, has re mained quiet on the issue. Surprise in Primary Utah Republicans expressed surprise when Democrats out polled them by a wide margin in this year s primary, but He- publican Gov. George D. Clyde predicts a GOP victory in the state none the less. Only in Wyoming do Re publicans outnumber Demo crats, and Wyoming elected an almost complete slate of Democrats two years ago, ousting former Sen. Frank A. Barrett and former Gov. Mil ward Simpson. Republicans in all five mountain states claim the swing is to their side now, however. In Colorado and Montana, the two best organized politi cal forces are labor and the Farmers Union. Both support the Democrats, although the nomination of Sen. Lyndon Johnson, (D-Tex.), as Kenne dy's running mate was not overly popular with these lib eral forces. Republicans, on the contrary, claim to be bene fitting greatly from the vice presidential candidacy of Hen ry Cabot Lodge. , Bowles Questions Nixon's Ability Portland-niPII-Rep. Chester A. Bowles (D. Conn.) told a Portland audience Sunday night that a Democratic ad ministration "can create the kind of conditions to encour age peace." Bowles, a foreign policy ad viser to Democratic Presiden tial Nominee John F. Ken nedy, also questioned the abil ity of GOP Candidate Richard M. Nixon to deal effectively with what he termed the po tentially explosive foreign situation. He made his remarks at a $10 a plate Democratic fund raising dinner at the Neigh bors of Woodcraft hall which was attended by approximate ly 300 persons. The former Connecticut Governor and ex-ambassador to India declared "Mr. Nixon recognizes that foreign affairs is the central issue of the campaign, but he made a statement that 'we can't talk about it'." Bowles claimed that for eign policy has to be discussed in a sober, responsible way and commented "We must strive for a return to the bi partisan foreign policy which has been interrupted for eight Worlds 'Around By Lynn M. Watkins By HENRY J. BECHTOLD UPI Financial Editor New York - (UPI) - With the steel industry in the throes of its worst recession since the late 1930s, the temper of the s t eelworkers at their recent convention in Atlgntic City was one of de fensive fringe thinking. This is the gist of a spe- uenry Bechtold cial report on the convention by the editor of Iron Age magazine. Tom Campbell said talk's with dele gates and union officers dis closed fear that the steel in dustry now was a six to nine month business. He noted that some com parisons were made with the coal miners who now number less than 200,000, as against more than 650,000 not too many years ago. The oft-mentioned culprit to plague steel workers, he said, was automa tion. Doctors Criticized Even doctors, hospitals and Insurance firms came in for bitter criticism at the steel union meetings. Campbell said that so strong is the feel ing among steel union offi cials over doctors' fees, hospi tal service and alleged un necessary operations that the union advocated pilot clinics for pre-paid medical attention. If anything comes of this pilot plan, Campbell said, the bill would fall to the steel companies which now pick up the tab on the health plans. Job security emphasis also was spa?ked by the after effects of last year's 118-day strike and the subsequent re cession in steel. Campbell said there was marked criticism of the apparent slowness of the Joint Work Practices Commit tee and the Human Relations Committee "to got off the ground." These groups were formed as part of the latest steel contract. Little Committee Action Thus far there has been no more than exploratory action by these committees, the Iron Age editor said, noting that the consensus at the meeting was that it would be a miracle if any agreement were to be reached on the explosive sub ject of work practices by the deadline at the end of Novem ber. Campbell pointed out that ironically the two cochairmen of the Human Relations Com mittee are union president David J. McDonald and R. Conrad Cooper, U.S. Steel vice president, the two same people who failed to reach any kind of agreement In last year's negotiations until after the 116-day strike. Personal feelings of the two tend to enter into the picture, he added. In addition to the medical care plans, Campbell elated, the main topics of discussion on and off the convention floor were supplementary un employment benefits, social Insurance and pensions. There was very little talk about wage goals in the 1962 bar gaining sessions, but they are expected to come along as a routine demand. The union wants a thorough revision of the unemployment benefits. This, Campbell said, appears to stem from the rapid deterioration of work ing time for many employes not too long after last year's strike. There also is fear that the steel industry will move rap idly into more automation, with a much lower operating rate as "normal."

We expect to find bugs in a garden; in a rotting log, in forest litter, under boards, pieces of brick or cement, but who would expect to find them living on a tidal-flat along a seascoast and close enough to the sea that their homes are inundated at least once every 24 hours. By rights no Insect, no matter how queer, is expected to inhabit such an environment. Are Agreed Scientists are pretty well agreed that, as far as is known, no species of insect, or individual either, actually lives in saltwater. But the low-tide" billbug prefers to reside within sound of the pounding surf and murmuring tide. The billbug actually is clas sified as a beetle, or what some people call a weevil; one of the small insects that crawls around in dry flour, some even in tobacco and drugs, some of them poison ous. Some varieties of weevil make their homes in peas, beans, cotton and all manner of other crops. The billbug, as its name im plies, has a bill or snout. This long beak is used to cut a slit in the stem of a salt-water reed where an egg is laid. The newly hatched larvae will use its little snout to burrow in the stem of the plant. The other part of the com mon name, "low-tide," indi cates the incoming surge of sea water that often covers the water reed as well as the contained larvae of the bill bug. Apparently the little bug doesn t mind in the least. Remain Satisfied Down through countless generations of "low-tide" bill- bugs, these tiny insects have been perfectly satisfied with their living conditions, using the reeds of water plants for egg depositing. As far as is known, and right up until a few years ago, the billbug has confined most of its activities to salt water reeds, but he, like most bugs, can easily change his habits, and his ap petite. Times change, of course, and present-day billbugs can and often do forsake their place by the sea and move onto and into other plants that grow a distance away from the shore. They can invade the crops that man has cultivated and become one of man's enemies. The low-tide billBug still retain its "bill" but canCe- come something else besides a low-tide dweller. It can be come a high-land pest. (Raleased by The Register and 1 Tribune Syndicate, 1960) V FOR HINIETKEH SIXTY- OKE &.mmwmwm in rl rYT;. Abaix: the Fleetwood Sixty Special.
