down when apologies hai

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!" .

"That's hardly possible, sir," answered the barber gravely.

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. (Copyright, 1960. by United

A major backstage argu

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

induce Russia to hand nuclear

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.

Kallai, a Hungarian immi

said he knew things were
good in America - but a
5100,021.20 check payable
to him was just too good.
"I dreamed for a lew
minutes of what this would
buy and then I came back to
reality."
The check was a refund
to him from Pacific Tele

been for $21.20.
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.
Bache & Co. says that the
removal of all restrictions on
the production of sugar beets
for the coming growing sea
son suggests a favorable earn
ings outlook for Holly Sugar,
Great Westehn Sugar- and
American Crystal Sugar.

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. The
storms of a week or so ago
dusted the high summits of
the high Sierra with a sprin
kle of snow that lends a trifle
of encouragement to all the
