Many sober thinking Americans
are pondering what this country and
fw
m '
po
the West can do to meet the altered
world situation arising from the
smashing of the summit by Russian
Ereinier Khrushchev.
One obvious necessity is to act in
all possible ways to reinforce the unity
of the free world. To this end, the ex-
pressions of solidarity among the
members of NATO, voiced in the after-
math of the summit collapse, were of
tremendous value.
The United States itself has a
course of action open to it which can
underline this instinctive movement to-
ward a tighter coalition in the interest
of free world security and well being.
It can support with full heart and
purpose the pending foreign aid pro-
gram. Both houses of Congress have
endorsed outlays for the new budget
year slightly in excess of four billion
dollars. But House and Senate Appro-
priations committees must still vote
the actual sums to be made available.
As always, part of the authorized
total is for military assistance to
friendly countries abroad, and part is
for economic help.
Certainly, at a time when Khrush-
chev has put a new chill on East-West
relations and made menacing signs to-
ward some of our smaller allies, there
can be little point in not voting ample
funds to aid their defense.
Failure to provide such assistance
could be read by them as nonsupport
at a critical moment in their always
risky existence on the fringes of the
Soviet Union. This would come with
particular ill-grace now that we have
put them under heavy Russian pres-
sure as result of the U-2 plane inci-
dent.
ed him on a platter. He turned it down
flat, pleading pressure of wartime
problems tn growing California. He
had been keynoter at the convention.
Admittedly the pressures brought
to bear on a man at convention time
can be tremendous. But what Warren
did, others can do.
Rockefeller’s decision does not, of
course, rule out totally the prospect
he might be drafted for first place.
A candidate need not be in the con-
vention hall, or even the convention
city, to be chosen. Yet most leaders
today see little prospect of this hap-
pening.
Some, of course, see in this action
a deliberate rebuff to Vice President
Nixon. Not only is Rockefeller taking
the sternest means to avoid serving
on a ticket with him, but he is by this
move declining to lead his own 96-
vote delegation to Chicago.
There is perhaps some danger,
however, in reading hostility toward
Nixon into this and into Rockefeller’s
steady refusal to endorse the vice
president.
In the view of many it is politically
sensible to keep the way open for a
draft by holding free from such en-
dorsement. Moreover, Rockefeller
wants to speak out on many major is-
sues, with broad impact on Democrats,
independents and Republicans. He
feels this effort will be blunted and
handicapped if he ties himself to
Nixon now.
The Great Leveler
Still, he has committed himself to
support the national ticket this fall.
As a realist he could hardly see much
point in “hostility with a deadline.”
More likely he is simply trying to pro-
tect his own special “image” against
the future, whether they may mate-
rialize this year or possibly in 1964.
Rockefeller has learned the poli-
tical rules fast. He also has learned
enough to try breaking a few.
Furthermore, this is the time,
above all, to reassure our friends,
whether allies or neutrals, that we are
not obsessed with their military pos-
ture — if any — but are concerned
greatly with their economic condition
as a foundation and buttress of their
freedoms.
Economic assistance is itself a
means of defending freedom, not in
the narrow sense, but in the broad.
For the underdeveloped lands, large-
ly neutrals, are fighting time, the pop-
ulation explosion, and grinding pover-
ty as they try to prove that freedom
can do better than communism in lift-
ing men to higher levels of living.
Americans who believe that solid
economic and military help should be
given our friends at this juncture in
history will not want major waste to
characterize the program. But neith-
er are they likely to approve any ef-
fort in Congress to slash a rumored
-1.5 billion dollars from the program
to “cure” the problem of waste.
Waste is no aid to anybody except
•the careless and the Corrupt. Yet we
‘cannot excuse an effort to cut waste
which in fact cuts at the heart of a
program that is both symbol and sub-
stance of our firm bond with free men
in all parts of the world.

:Apt Student
Gov. Nelson Rockefeller has not
yet been in office two years, but he is
proving both a tough and unorthodox
politician.
Never was this clearer than when
he notified Republican party leaders
he would not attend the GOP conven-
tion at Chicago this summer, for fear
his mere presence would give encour-
agement to a vice presidential draft.
If that is the real and sole purpose
of his action, some politicians are sug-
gesting that it was both an extreme
and an unnecessary gesture.
Not many people seem to remem-
ber, but in 1944 at Chicago the then
Gov. Earl Warren of California had

In this country today, we
have over 8-million Americans
over 65 years of age who can’t
afford a square meal, can’t pay
for a warm, dry place to live,
can't buy the medical care they
need.
Many of these senior citizens
have never had much of this
world’s goods. Others have had
good livings during some per-
iods of life, but time and cir-
cumstances, inflation, sickness,
and many other factors have
left them pennliness and almost
hopeless.
One of the great social chal-
lenges of America today is
learning how to meet the com-
plex problems of proper care
of the aged and aging. As a
people, we have learned to pro-
long life through advances in
medical science before we have
learned how to make that long-
er life fully enjoyable and pro-
ductive.
The problem generally falls
into two major categories:
(1) Senior citizens who
still are able and would like
to work at least part time to
supplement Social Security
benefits or old age assistance
checks.
(2) Those who are ill or so
advanced in years that they re-
quire special help for medical
j treatment and nursing home

Vice President
Almost Journalist
BY PETER EDSON
Washington Correspondent
Newspaper Enterprise Aon.
Washington (NEA) — Vice President Nixon almost be-
came a newspaperman himself. The story is told in Bela Kor-
nitzer’s intimate biography, “The Real Nixon.'
When Dick was 11 years old he answered an ad for a job
ns u Los Angeles Times office boy. He gave as his reference,
Miss Flowers, "princaple’’ of the East Whittier, Calif., school.
Ho didn’t get the job, perhaps becuuse of hi* spelling.
By coincidence, thnt paper was to play nn important part
in Nixon’s later life. Kornitzer credits Mr». Norman Chandler,
wife of the publisher, with being first to suggest that the 1952
GOP convention kingmakers name young Senator Nixon as
Eisenhower's running mate.
Sen. Kennedy’s runaway vote in the Maryland primary is
credited largely to the fact that he had the field to himself,
had little effective opposition.
He got over 400,000 votes, in round numbers, to 50,000
for Senator Morse, 25,000 for uninstructed delegates und 10,000
for two minor candidates.
This gave Kennedy 61 per cent of the vote. But this per-
centage was swelled by the fuct that Maryland has nn esti-
mated 21 per cent Catholic population. And Kennedy ran best
in the heavily Catholic counties.
This was not u factor in the Oregon primary, however.
There the Catholic population is less than 10 per cent of the
iota!, largely in the Portland aiea.
Where any group has Jess than 20 per cent of the popula-
tion. political analysts say it’s impossible to measure impact
on results.
Cabinet Secretary Robert Grny caused a few Republican
eyebrows to rise here after he told a University of Michigan
audience thut — speaking for himself alone — Arizona Sen.
Burry Goldwater was a “likely, running mate” for Nixon on
thfc GOP ticket this fall. Eisenhower and Goldwater ideas
jibe on almost no policies at all.
Other “likely” vice presidential candidates mentioned by
the White House administrative assistant were U. N. Ambas-
sador Henry Cabot Lodge, Interior Secretary Fred Seaton and
-later, as n kind of afterthought — he mentioned Rockefel-
ler.
Only 14 out of the 100 U. S. senators and only 108 out of
For those still able and want-

to earn more money without
being penalized through loss of
either Social Security or Old
Age Assistance checks. Those
drawing Social Secuirty could
earn up to $2,400 per year
twice the present $1,200 limita-
tion without having their So-
cial Security checks cut. All
those Old Age Assistance could
earn up to an additional $50
monthly without their checks
being cut.
At the same time, I’m favor-
ing legislation to raise both So-
cial Security and Old Age As-
sistance payments more in line
with all-time high cost of liv-
ing. Also I’m pressing for legis-
lation to build additional low-
income public housing units for
the aged.
A number of proposals are
now under study to help elder-
ly people have the medical
treatment they need. None of
these plans seem entirely sat-
isfactory to me and it seems
likely that a combination of
the various medical care pro-
posals will he the answer.
