Newspapers today endorsed the national Republican ticket, calling the combination of Richard M. Nixon for president and Henry Cabot Lodge for vice president J "s o 1 i d e r" and "sounder" than - the Demo cratic candidates. An editorial prepared for the 19 Scripps-Howard papers, said the Nixon-Lodge ticket was better qualified than the Democratic nominees, Sens, John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B, Johnson, to cope with the threat of war, counter the march of world communism and maintain a strong do mestic economy, It said Nixon and Kennedy are "able and intelligent, both "seek substantially the same ends, and "neither would be played for a sucker by Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev." "But this is an especially bad time for.careless talk and Senator Kennedy has shown a disturbing tendency to shoot from the hip," the editorial said. 1 Nixon, it said, is "more astute" in public statements. It concluded "we're firmly convinced that the solider, sounder ticket is Nixon and Lodge." The Scripps-Howard news papers supported resident Eisenhower in 1952 and 1956.

Red China Problem Fates By K. C. THALER ' London- (UPD -The most ex plosive problem facing Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev on his return to Moscow is the smouldering conflict with Red China over world com munism's future policies. . The ideological differences between the two Communist giants appear to have deep ened during Khrushchev's ab sence in New York. ' Peiping's studied near-silence on the Soviet leader's performance before the world assembly has spotlighted the coolness in Sino-Russian rela tions. But Khrushchev apparently is confident that he has strengthened his hand for.a possible showdown by his ac tivities at the United Nations General Assembly. 'v't This has emerged fron ,the buildup which the Soyiet press and radio have given to the Communists in Russia and behind the Iron Curtain generally (except in China) of Khrushchev's role in New York.

' Meanwhile, a Communist "high court" composed of top Communist leaders from the Red camp nations is collect ing evidence on tne extent of the ideological rift and on whether it can be healed or not. There Is still no sign whether Red China's Mao Tze-tung will go to Moscow. The signs were that unless a compromise, looms up in the meantime he may choose to stay away. " Both sides have been busily canvassing support meantime .for :;their line of policy.

Khrushchev has sought to win over the European satel lites during the recent New York conferences. ' ;"- All, except ' Albania, have now rallied to him.

V' i'r unless ne can prove; mat his co-existence policjrTs su& cessful, there may be a wihg towards Peiping's view, in the opinion of the experts here. Overriding these ideologi cal differences is, however, the knowledge in Moscow and Peiping that neither side can afford to push the conflict too far because both would be losers in the event of an outright split.
