Hays etormed over to the office cf the Record, but tone' down when apologies hai been offered. "I guess I eaid some things to you in the heat of anger that I . shouldn't have. I'm 6orry," admitted Hays. "That's quite all right," Chuckled the editor. "You should have heard the fellow we credited with your speech!" . "HI there," was a high echool senior's greeting as he stepped Into a barber's chair. "Aren't you the tonsorial artist who clip ped my wavy locks the last time I was in?" "That's hardly possible, sir," answered the barber gravely. I've only been working here for seven months' I960, by Bennett Cert Distributed by King Feature! Syndicate . Washington Report By WILLIAM S. WHITE WhiU IKE ON THE STUMP Washington - Richard M. Nixon and Henry Cabot Lodge are really reaching most of all for the independ ents. It is Dwight D. Eisen hower who actually carries Hhe main Republican burden - and also the main Republi can hope - going out aft er Democrats in behalf of the Nixon Lodge presi dential ticket This de scribes the ul timate Repub lican presi dential cam paign plan as the last show down - election day itself -now approaches. In broad and strategic terms the Republi can position is now seen bout like this: 1. The Republican rank and file is considered to have re mained faithful, on the whole. There are admittedly trouble some areas, as, for example, in the urban parts of upstate New York. In such as these, come normally Republican Catholics are turning to the Democratic candidate, John F. Kennedy, in anger at at tacks on the religion they share with Senator Kennedy. VTOTHING much can be done ' aoout mis oy tne Nixon people - who have from the start been telling the plain truth in insisting they never wanted "the religious issue." Its exploitation was always likely to do them more harm than good. There is, however, some off setting factor in this. A wide farm belt discontent with the Republicans, which could have deeply endangered Nix on, has been at least to some extent neutralized by that same "religious issue." Some farmers who would otherwise have gone Democratic in pro test at Eisenhower admini stration farm policies will not do so because Senator Ken nedy is a Catholic. (Paren thetically, many speak as though only "the South" har bored "anti-Catholic feeling." The cliche is nonsense; there is as much "bite," and may be more, in the so-called re ligious issue in the heavily Protestant rural middle west). 2. What inroads Nixon and Lodge may be making among the independents cannot pos sibly be measured. All the same, this is, in the minds of the Republican pros, their best possible field of concen tration. 3. For there is every evi dence that if any Republican can cut deeply into the 6-to-4 Democratic registration bulge it is President Eisenhower. Twice, in 1952 and in 1956, he swept through strongly Democratic areas, south and north. NO REPUBLICAN manager supposes the old "Eisen hower magic" can be wholly transferred to Mr. Nixon. But these managers do suppose that enough can be "rubbed off on Dick" to assist him ma terially among on-the-fehce Democrats. This, at any rate, is the whole basic reasoning behind the president's current "non political" speaking trip. And the old-line orthodox Repub licans are happy at last that the president for eight years has been what, in angry frus tration, they used to call so blankety - blank unpartisan. For he is now able to pre sent himself as a nationial rather than a mere party lead er - and so what he says for Nixon is worth twice as much as otherwise it would have been.. , , . , ' ' AND BENEATH this general purpose of the president lie two very specific ones: to hold California for Nixon; to take Texas away from Kenne dy and his running mate, Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson of that state. An Eisenhower deep in the heart of Texas is an Ei senhower driving, in his ami able way, straight for the heart of an old friendly ene my, Lyndon Baines Johnson. These are the curious, the ironical, facts: The Republi c a n presidential nominee Nixon, needs in his home state the help of a native Texan, later a Kansan and now a citizen of Pennsylvania, call ed Eisenhower. The Democratic vice-presidential nominee, the most powerful politician ever to rise up in Texas, would be most happy to do without the visit back home Just now of this ex-Texan named Eisen hower.

Family Quarrel A major backstage argu ment is raging among NATO nations over United States suggestions that NATO be equipped with the Polaris nu clear missile under its own control. Britain is cool to the idea because she fears the spread of the deterrent might induce Russia to hand nuclear rockets to the satellites or possibly even Red China.

Japanese ' Socialist efforts to capitalize politically in the Days News By FRANK JENKINS Headed for Reno. Crossing the Tule Lake ba sin, not a goose or a duck is visible in the sky. They're probably all kegged up in the baited reserves, where the ta ble is always set. But- Who . could blame a goose or a duck for sitting tight in a safe self-service restaurant and eating free food until his eyes stick out, instead of get ting out and rustling for him self and getting shot at while doing so? , TILL- , There's the fact that there are thousands upon thousands of acres in the Klamath Basin from which the grain has been harvested. In all this stubble there is a lot of shattered gain - which the ducks and geese used to glean for them selves . . . and get fat and happy in the process., . rvUESTION: t Do you reckon we might be teaching these birds bad habits . . . setting the table for them instead of making them get out and hustle for their own l ing? . It's a problem. Who shall say whal'is right? I suppose if it was left to the ducks and the geese they'd like to go back to the status quo ANTE. BUT enough of geese and ducks . . . and hunters. Highway 395 from Alturis to Reno used to be crooked and rough. It is getting stead ily better and belter. The Cali fornia highway department is smoothing off the surface and straightening out the curves. As these improvements are made, Route 3S5 gains stead ily in popularity. Freeways or no freeways, more and more people are choosing 395 when heading for the far south' -southern California, the south west and Mexico. - That, of course, doesn't mean that the big freeway routes will suffer for traffic. It means simply that there will be less dangerous and nerve-shattering congestion on them. If we can hold down congestion on our highways, we will all get more tourists . . . and more tourist dollars to be added to our economy. on the assassination of their former chairman Inejiro Asa numa, leaders of Premier Ha- yato Ikeda's ruling Liberal- Democratic party say they are unworried. They say they will maintain their strong p'ro- Western majority in next month's general elections. MOVE OVER.

Wall Street Chatter New York - (UPll - The Val ue Line investment survey said today that a permanent low interest rate policy would be incompatible within the United Stales' economy and would not likely b imple mented by either of the pres idential candidates. The survey said that al though the Democratic plat form lists the abolition of the present tight money pol icy to speed economic growth, the actual carrying out ot such a program is by no means readily feasible for the following reasons: (1) It would spell an accel erhated resumption of infla tion (2) It would further accel erate the gold outflow and bank deposits to Europe (3) The importance of interest rate changes as a stimulant or retardant of business ac tivity has been greatly exag gerated. The survey concludes that in view of these overriding economic realities; neither candidate will be free to take hasty and drastic action with respect to interest rates.

MAYOR-SENATOR DIES Lourdes; France -ttlPD- An toine Beguere, 64, mayor and senator of Lourdes, died Sunday. THIS has been a very, very dry year - especially over here in the Great Basin. Honey Lake, down below Susanville, is completely dry, its bed a wide expanse of tan- colored soil over which dust storms blow.' This, of course, is nothing especially new in the case of Honey Lake, which has gone dry not too infre quently in the years of the past. But it is not an edifying sight. People over in this area will feel a lot happier when it fills up again.
