Frank Sullivan, beloved
sage of Saratoga, consented
to an Interview recently.'
."What do you think of
American women?" began
the interviewer. "Thev
should be torn down," said Mr. S. briskly, then added, "Oh, pardon
me, that's my answer to what do you think of the new-fangled
New York skyscrapers. As for American women, I'm not sure
there are any nowadays. Everybody wears pants and how is a
fellow with astigmatism and myopia going to tell which ''are
women and which are men t"
Mr. Sullivan also commented on the state of American belles
Icttres. "It's in a state of flux," he opined. "This chap Kathcrine
-Anne Porter seems a good bet, and so does this other chap, Walt
-Whitman. "As for the Russians," he concluded, in no uncertain
.terms, "they'll never amount to anything until they get rid of
the Czar."

Lung Transplant
Patient Succumbs
Pittsburgh - IUPI) -' An ac
countant who had a dead
man's lung implanted in his
chest died Monday a week
after the operation.,
Regis J. Sismour, 44, was
reported to have been making
satisfactory progress follow
ing the historic transplant but
suffered a relapse Sunday.
Doc tors at Presbyterian
University hospital where the
operation was performed said
contributory causes of his
death were heart failure, a
drop in blood pressure and a
staphylococcus infection in his
own lung.
They said he had been doing
well "but his own remaining
lung was unable to hold him
over this transitional stage
when the body, which auto
matically rejects foreign mat
ter and tissue, would perhaps
have completely accepted the
implanted lung."

Nixon Opposed To
More Concessions
For Nuclear Ban
Frankfurt, Germany UPD
Former Vice President Rich
ard M. Nixon today said any
further Western concessions
in nuclear test ban talks
would be "a victory for com
munism." Nixon, on an extended va
cation tour with his family,
told United Press Internation
al, "I feel we have made quite
sufficient concessions on a
nuclear test ban treaty."
"If we make any further
concessions in Moscow, the
treaty would be a victory for
communism," Nixon said, re
ferring to the Anglo-American
talks going on now with
the Soviet Union.
"On the other hand, if we
enter the discussions hard
headed and with a realistic
understanding of Soviet aims,
we may very well achieve an
acceptable treaty," the defeat
ed. 1960 GOP candidate for
president said.
Discusses Presidential Race
Nixon, accompanied by, his
wife and two daughters and
friends, also discussed the
coming 1964 presidential race.
"I should have something
to say in about three months.
If you say anything now you
put yourself out on a limb
. . . All those who will be
candidates will have to de
clare themselves within three
months and then I'll be able
to throw my support to the
man I believe can do the best
job," Nixon said.
"I definitely will not de
clare myself a candidate," he
said. ,
Nixon, pausing in Frank
furt on a hop from Switzer
land to Hungary, spoke about
New York Gov. Nelson A.
Rockefeller's charges that ex
treme right-wingers hope to
gain control of the Republi
can party.
'Can Make Trouble'
"It's true that the extreme
right wing - the nuts or the
kooks as we call them in Cali
fornia can make plenty of
trouble for us as they did for
me in California," Nixon said,
referring apparently to his un
successful bid for the Cali
fornia governorship last year.
Nixon said the GOP's ex
treme right wing is "potent,
noisy and well-financed, but
I do not think they will dom
inate the convention" in which
the GOP will pick its presi
dential candidate next year.

Nixon said it Is true that
"the extreme right wing is
behind Sen. Barry Goldwater
now. But I do not think he
is one of them. And I am
sure he must regard them as
a liability just as I do."
Some extreme right-wingers
regard the Republican
senator from Arizona as "too
liberal," Nixon said.
Morse Lashes at
Press Criticism
On Tongue Point
Washington-IUPD-Sen. Wayne
Morse (D-Ore.) lashed out
Monday at newspaper criti
cism of his role in finding a
use for the abandoned Tongue
Point Naval Station, and he
said the low bids submitted
for the property recently
make it more important that
a federal use be found for the
site.
But Morse emphasized that
if the federal government de
cides it does not want to use
the base, he will "do every
thing I can" to help Oregon
business interests obtain the
property for private indus
trial development.
Described as 'Steal'
Morse earlier this year des
cribed a plan by the city of
Astoria to buy the property,
for $920,000 and resell it to a
private industrial corporation
for $950,000 as a "steal."
In a Senate statement Mon
day, he quoted the adminis
trator of the General Ser
vices Administration as say
ing the GSA could not abuse
its negotiating authority by
taking part in such a deal.
Morse castigated the Port
land Oregonian "and similar
newspapers suffering from
moral myopia," for criticiz
ing him after he came out
against the plan.
Six Bids Received
The GSA then put the naval
station site up for bids June
24, with the understanding
that it would not be sold at
least until September.
Only six bids were receiv
ed on the various parcels, and
none on the entire base. The
GSA has not yet acted on
them.

The derailment late Sun

freight train tore up 450 feet

President assured me again
that a most thorough survey
of possible federal uses of the
Tongue Point property is be

the Oregon Democrat said.
"Government use would un

economic return in the form
of jobs and economic expan
sion in the Astoria area."

Civil Obligations Declared
Unstressed in Rights Battle
Portland -0IPD- Former Sen.
William Knowland of Cali
fornia said Monday it was too
bad that those persons who
had led the tight for one seg
ment of civil rights have not
equally stressed civil obliga
tions and civil responsibili
ties. Knowland, publisher of
the Oakland Tribune, spoke
at the opening session of the
23rd annual convention of the
National Sheriffs' Associa
tion. He said that a person seek
ing civil rights -had no right
to "ride roughshod" over the
constitutional rights of the
rest of the nation's citizens
and to claim that any minor
ity can impose by unconstitu
tional means its views upon
the majority of our people
without their consent,
"The American people are
a just people, they are a pa
tient people, they are an un
derstanding people and they
are a law-abiding people," he
said.
He said civil rights arc far
more broad than racial rights
alone.
Hatfield Considered
On another subject, Know
land said Oregon Gov. Hat
field was one of five men who
rank immediately behind Nel
son Rockefeller and Barry
Goldwater as possible Repub
lican presidential nominees
next year.

Knowland listed the others
as Govs. William Scranton of
Pennsylvania, George Rom
ncy of Michigan and James
Rhodes of Ohio and Sen.
Thruslon Morton of Ken
tucky. "Hatfield is personable
and he is one of not too many
Republican governors," Know
land said. "His name gels con
sideration in California."
The cx-scnator said Hah
field also was considered as a
top candidate for the vice
presidency on the GOP ticket
next year.
Cuban Policy Hit
Turning to foreign policy,
Knowland attacked the Ken
nedy administration for what
he called it "vascillating pol
icy" on Cuba. He offered a
plan of action based on an in
creasing squeeze on Cuba and
creation of a Freedom Volun
teer Corps to be used as a last
resort in freeing the island.
He said the United Nations
had refused to act against
Chinese Communist "volun
teers" in Korea and could not
very well act against "volun
teers'' sent to free Cuba.
