In The-
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
As this is writlcn, Mr. Nelson
Rockefeller, governor ot New York,
scion ei one of America's wealth
iest families, ex-holder of many
positions of trust and responsibility
in the federal government, is head
ing West in his first major politi
cal foray to assess his chances of
winning the I960 Republican Presi
dential nomination.
His tour will take him first to
California, where his opposition
lies. It will bring him on to Ore
gorf, Washington and Idaho and
probably other Western states, lhc
political pundits indicate that what
he finds out in the course ot this
swing through the West will go
lar in determining whether or not
he will be a candidate for the
highest, the most glamorous and
the MOST RESPONSIBLE politi
cal position in the world.
Mr. Nixon, the man Mr.. Rocke
feller will have to beat if he is
to' become the GOP nominee, is
n Westerner. He has been here
olten, and is certain to be here
oiten again. If he is to get the
nomination, he will have to have
the solid support of the West.
We of Hie West have been visited
by Mr. Kennedy, who is often re
tcricd to as the most likely candi
date for the Democratic nomination
for President. We have been visited
by Mr. Humphrey, who is certainly
up to now, the busiest of the Demo
cratic candidates. We have been
visited ortcn by Mr. Stephenson,
and it may be taken for granted
that unless he counts himself out
of the race he will come out to
tec us again. It is not improbable
that Mr. Lyndon Johnson, of Texas,
a Southerner, will find an occasion
to visit us.
As of this writing, the Republican
nomination seems to lie between
Mr. Nixon and Mr. Rockefeller
It is quite otherwise in the case
of the Democratic aspirants. Their
number is legion. One sometimes
wonders, reading the political prog
nostications, if ANY Democrat of
prominence ISN'T an aspirant.
All this is quite in order and
as it should be.
IF THE TIME EVER COMES
WHEN GOOD MEN DON'T WANT
TO BE PRESIDENT, IT WILL BE
A SAD DAY FOR THE U.S.A.
In the past, it has been our
rot-too-admirable custom to regard
Presidential campaigns as three
ring circuses FAR SURPASSING
the best offerings of Mr. Barnum
or Mr. Bailey or Mr. Ringling
or any of our other wizards of the
sawdust circle. We have more or
less taken it for granted that the
best showman will win.
Here's a thought:
Why not abandon that ancient
and never very praiseworthy con
cent?
Why not in this admittedly
critical period of our history
say to ourselves in this campaign
that gets nearer with each day
that passes that our whole future
and the future of our children and
the future of our grandchildren and
of THEIR children and their
children's children rests upon our
getting, in this Presidential term
that is approaching, the BEST
LEADERSHIP THAT IS OBTAIN
ABLE? Why not forget all the purely
.political hogwash of the past and
' concentrate on getting leadership
of the highest quality available?
Why not judge ALL aspirants
for the Presidency in that light
and that light only?
It is at least an intriguing
thought.

WOODS ROADS in this entire area are being patrolled between now and Chriitmai for
signs of illegal Christmas tree cutting. Government agencies and private owners of tim
berlands are determined to stamp out thievery. Shown are Linton Cunningham, left, and
Bill Badker, right, patrolmen from the Klamath Forest Protective Association headquar

Jersey Central's 1 1 706'
Nabbed After
JERSEY CITY, N.J. (UPD-
-If
locomotives have hearts, Little
1706 of the Jersey1 Central Rail
road must have pined to escape
the sidetrack drudgery of a switch
engine and follow its big brothers
onto the main line.
That's just what diesel switcher
No. 1706 did last night, with near
disastrous results.
It was about 10:28 p.m. and the
123-ton diesel was parked on a
sidetrack here, its engines idling
and the hand brake on.
No one knows exactly what
stirred the throbbing machinery.
But a few moments later a tower-
man in the Communipaw Avenue
freight yards gazed out to sec No.
1706 breezing onto the main line,
600 horsepower of impatient en
gine. He was horrified to discover
no one was in the cab.
Word was flashed ahead, clear
the tracks. All along Ihe heavily-
populated north New Jersey coast
the "runaway alarm was spread.
Trains and trackmen sped to
saTcty at Bayonne, across Newark
Bay, Elizabeth, Woodbridgc, Perth
Amboy and South Amboy. ,
Then began the battle to corral
No. 1706.
The Jersey Central dispatched
one engine in pursuit from Jersey
City, another Irom the other direction.

Tough Chase
Engineer Chester Gudmunson,
58, of Roselle Park, N.J., was the
first to spot his quarry. He, Fire
man Harold Johns and Brakcman
Leo Barry had been yanked off
a local freight run to take after
1706 in a brother-diesel of the
1700 class.
Gudmunson said little 1706 was
doing about 40 miles per hour,
dangerous collision speed, when
he decided that the only way to
halt Ihe runaway was to couple
onto it.
By then 1706 had dashed 22
miles through some of the densest
railroading on the East Coast, and
was gaining speed.
Instead of crashing head-on into
1706, Gudmunson reversed - and
took olf ahead of the maverick,
letting 1706 gradually catch up
with him.. Through Woodbridgc,
Perth Amboy and South Amboy
the runaway "chased" Gudmun
son until they reached Morgan on
Raritan Bay. There Gudmunson
stood his ground.
"We were prepared to take the
shock however much it was to be,"
he said. "It gave us quite a jar.
she. coupled right into my
coupling. Alter she stopped, my
brakes held her down." ,
Fireman, Harold Johns jumped
lo the track and hopped aboard
1700's empty cab and shut olf the
runaway's throttle.

The sheriff's office at Missoula
