Six Hopefuls For Chief
Not Always As Frisky
As They Appear Today
WASHINGTON (AP) The six
men currently regarded as top
contenders for presidential nomi
nations (his year were not always
e-j frisky as they appear today.
The ills of the flesh have as
lailed in varying degrees all of
those who figured prominently in
a campaign likely to put a pre
mium on physical stamina.
In seven years in office Presi
dent Eisenhower has had three
serious illnesses, including a heart
attack, and voters can be
epected to pay mire than or
dinary attention to the health of
the prospective candidates.

Sever Talks
On Payment
WASHINGTON (AP) - Soviet
reaction to collapse of lend-lease
repayment talks may provide a
clue to Soviet intentions in other
negotiations this spring, U.S. offi
cials said today.
The United Stales broke off the
talks Wednesday. It said the So
viet Union was insisting on getting
U.S. trade and aid agreements as
part of negotiations that were
supposed to deal only with Sovie
repayment for U.S. lend-lease aid
during World War II.
No bitterness was expressed at
Wednesday's final session, and
American authorities professed to
see no big impact on other sched
tiled negotiations as a result.
But some said that 'the virulence
or lack of it in any Moscow
effort to blame this country for
the impasse could give a hint of
what lies ahead in a March dis
armament conference and the
scheduled May summit meeting.
The lend-lease parley was re
sumed Jan. 11 as an outgrowth
of Premier Nikita Khrushchev's
Camp David meeting with Presi
dent Eisenhower last September
What the United States wants is
fractional repayment, as it has
received from other wartime al
lies, on the mountains of lend
lease goods sent to the Soviets in
a common war against Hitler's
Germany. Although the total of
the military and civilian items
sent the Soviets reached 11 billion
dollars', Washington is seeking
repayment just on items of civil
ian economic value after the war.
These U.S.-supplied goods in
cluded a tire plant, oil refining
equipment, communications gear,
trucks and merchant ships. As un
successful lend-lease talks ended
eight years ago the United States
was seeking 800 million dollars
while the Soviets offered 300 mil
lions. But the negotiators never really
got into the hard dollars and cents
figures this time. Explaining the
collapse, the State Department
said the Soviets have steadfastly
held that a lend-lease settlement
must be accompanied by simul
taneous conclusion of a trade
agreement giving most favored
nation treatment to the Soviet
Union, and the extension of long
term credits on acceptable terms
to the Soviet Union.
The administration view is that
onlv after a settlement of lend-
lease will it consider asking Con
gress for easing of restrictions on
trade with the boviet union.

Nixon maintains that he has no
worries on that score.
But vigorous as he appears,
Nixon at 47 is subject in times of
stress to what he calls a nervious
stomach. He also has a touch of
hay fever now and then.
Because he has high blood
pressure, Nixon watches his diet
closely, particularly while cam
paigning. Doctors keep a check on
his cholesterol (blood fat) count
because of his blood pressure.
Aside from infrequent rounds of
golf, Nixon takes little exorcise
except to walk from his office in
the Senate office building to the
Capitol, a distance of about two
city blocks, a couple of times a
day.
Sen. John F. Kennedy D-
Mass), 42, an avowed candidate
for the Democratic presidential
nomination, gives every evidence
of having recovered from a spinal
injury for which he underwent
surgery in October 1954.
Kennedy was injured when the
torpedo boat he commanded in
World War II was hit by a Jap
anese destroyer. He first was
operated on in l'J45 but his con
dition worsened in the early
months of l'J."4 and he was forced
to use crutches.
He was on the operating tabic
four hours that year, and returned
to the hospital in February 1955
for removal of a metal plate that
appeared to be slowing his recovery.
Those who see Kennedy slide
dewn comfortably in a chair these
days and toss his leg casually
over its arm are convinced he has
no further spinal trouble.
Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D-
Minn), 48, another avowed candi
date, has not had a serious illness
since pneumonia almost took his
life when he was 7 years old.
However, he has had two opera
lions, one for a double hernia
and the other an appendectomy.
Those who see Humphrey going
at top speed on long-hour days
have no fears about his health
Senate Democratic Leader Lyn
don B. Johnson of Texas, who ob
viously is available for his party's
top nomination, is the only one of
the group who has had a recorded
heart attack. '
Johnson, now 51, was stricken
at the home of a friend in Middlo
burg, Va., in July 1955 with what
was described as a moderately
severe heart attack. He had been
operated on in March of that year
for removal of a kidney stone.
Johnson is something of a
despair to his wife and doctors who
want him to take things a lot
easer than he noes. rui me
Democratic leader is a wound-up
man who has trouble slowing
down, even when he takes a rest
on his Texas ranch.
None of his colleagues gives a
thought these days to the Johnson
heart attack. His dynamo has not
slowed down and he seems in
vigorous health. And President
Fisonhnwer's recovery from his
heart attack has gone a long way
to remove that ailment as a bar
rier to election to the presidency.
Like Nixon. Sen. Stuart Syming
ton (D-Mo) has been Dotnerea in
the Dast bv high blood pressure
Symington, 58, is an unannounced
candidate who says he would like
to be president.
Symington s recovery irom a
March 1947 sympathectomy ap
pears to have been complete. This
a delicate operation in wnicn
the sympathetic nerves to tne
spine are severed to relieve high
blood pressure.
A golfer who often shoots in tne
0s. Symington was bacK on me
course three momns aucr me
operation. He says he feels fine
physically and looks it.
Adai E. Stevenson, wno cur
rently is avoiding being proposed
as a notential nominee, has had
kidnev stone trouble, like John
son.
In June 1952 shortly before he
was nominated for president by
the Democrats the first time,
Stevenson underwent an operation
for removal of kidney stones. He
had a similar operation in April
1954.
However, Stevenson s doctors
annually pronounce him in good
health. He is now 60 and the pace
he maintains indicates he has few
worries on that score.
Although not regarded as among
the top contenders, ben. wayne
Morse (D-Ore) has declared him-
;elf a serious candidate . for the
nomination. The 59-year-old Morse
has had some difficulties with
animals.
At an Orkney Springs, Va., sad
die horse show in 1951 Morse was
knocked cold by a horses kick.
The senator suffered a broken jaw
and lost some teeth. In 19 he
was injured when he was thrown
tc the ground in a sulky race at
Salem. Ore.
In 1953 Morse collapsed in the
Senate reading room after a two-
hour speech opposing confirmation
of Charles E. Wilson as secretary
of defense. He attributed this to
what he called a "codeine black
out," explaining he had been tak
ing the pain-killing drug because
his injured Jawbone had been
scraped to remove a slight infection.

Ship Sinking
Payola Told
SEATTLE (AP) - A former
skipper and a former crew mem
ber of the fishing boat Cape Doug
as testified Wednesday that Odd
lohn Solnordal offered thein pay
ments ranging from $2,000 to
$10,000 lo sink the boat.
Marvin Hamlin, 45, former cook
on the vessel and now a truck
driver, said he was offered $2,000.
Capt. Jack Ray, 37, said he was
oflercd amounts varying from
$3,000 to $10,000. Both said they
efuscd.
Solnordal, K). a native of Nor
way, is on trial in U. h. District

ing the 78-foot craft in December,
1958, in Puget Sound by opening
the sea valves. 1

td following the testimony of
Hamlin and Ray. He said he was
veteran of 15 years at sea
Under cross-examination, Ham
lin conceded Solnordal didn't use
the words "sinking or scuttling,'
but he added: "I'd heard this
talked over and thrashed over so
many times I knew what he
meant. That's all we talked about
the whole trip ... to sink the
boat because of bills and things

but no payment of the claim has
been made.
By KLMKIt C. WALZEK
Ul'I Financial Editor
NEW YORK (UPD-Wall Street
regards the stock market as a
business barometer and hence is
keeping a close tab on it to de
termine a change in trend that
might precede a business dip.
The financial district recalls
how the market fell in advance
of the recession of 1957-1958 and
how it rallied long before the
business dip had touched bottom
April of 1958 to anticipate a
recovery movement.
According to Miron Nacmanic,
analyst for Green, Ellis & Ander
son, the year 1960 will be a good
ear, "but its rate of growth
may not be as good as last. We
arc, after all, in a later stage of
cyclical expansion. Recent profit
taking could be a direct conse
quence of this realization."
He believes a basically sound
economy will probably work
against any deep-seated market
correction in the months ahead.
"But," he adds, "there's noth
ing that says it has lo propel
stocks higher than they arc now.
Don't forget that earnings of each
share on the big board rose 6(1
per cent between the market
peaks of 1949 and 1959 while
prices went up 292 per cent."
Nacmanie sees a record high
n steel production in I960 with
most of the companies having no
trouble doubling their estimated
1959 earnings.
He sees good business ahead
for the truck producers with
trucks taking big chunks of the
nation's transportation business.
Passenger car output of close to
seven million units would turn
1960 into the second best year for
that industry, he notes.
Chemicals appear to be heading
higher, aided by plastic which
had a wide growth in 1959, he
says. He finds drugs looking like
chemicals.
And he has some good things
to say about the oil industry and
feels that this year will see gen
erally higher earnings and even
number of dividend increases
for the industry.
"In the two years afler the
1949 recession," ho says, "energy
demand rose an average of 1
per cent. During the same period
following the 1954 recession
rose 10 per cent. But so far the
comeback in demand from ths
latest recession, has been at
rate only about half as good.
'The steel strike was a de
pressing factor, leaving lots of
pent-up demand. That's why as
uch as a 6 per cent increase
petroleum demand is being
predicted by industry sources for
I960."
He looks for a good perform
ance from companies making
cctric appliances, electronic
equipment, radio and TV sets,
household furnishings, and from
copper miners.
Residential housing starts will
be off about 10 per cent, he
stimates, "but this should be
offset by other types of construc
tion, particularly industrial out
lays for new plant and equipment."
He estimates corporation prot
i of around $27 billion, some
13 per cent ahead of last year.
He indicates that the market s
recent sclloff seems excessive
beside the near-term business
picture now taking form.
