Truman Sef 10 Push
Fair Deal Platform,
Confidant DiscIoses

President Truman was repre-
sented today as determined to in.
sist on a fighting campaign OF
an all-out Fair Deal platform a!
the best hope Of a Democratic
victory over Gen. Eisenhower il
November.
A longtime Democratic associ-
ate Of the President said Mr.. Tru-
man will oppose any watering
down Of the foreign and domestic
proposals for which he has cam
Ipaigned since he entered the
White House.
This Truman confidant, who
would not allow the use Of his
name, said he did not know as YET
whom the President will support
for the Democratic nomination.
Strong Platform Certain.
But you may be sure that the
President will insist that the nom-
inee run on a strong Fair Deal
platform" he said.
Mr.. Truman has outlined most
Iof his objectives in a series o1
speeches. starting with his address
March 20 to the Jefferson-Jacksor
dinner in which he disclosed he
would not be a candidate for. re.
Eelection. +
They include repeal Of the Taft.
Hartley labor law. which Mr.
Truman has refused to use in the
current steel strike despite a con.
gressional request; q r,ationa'
health program based on. com.
Ipulsory health insurance, and fur
ther increases in coverage and
benefits under the Social Security
Act.
He spelled out his civil rights
proposals - particularly those
aimed at racial determinations
in a subsequent speech at Howard
University.
He Needn't Be There.
While the President says he will
not attend the July 81 Democratic
National Convention in Chicago
until after his successor is nomi-
mated, he need not be there ir
person to exert his influence on
the platform deliberations.
He undoubtedly will make his
wishes known through others or
the scene. both members of Con-
lgress and administration officials
in whom he has confidence.
The nomination Of Gen. Eisen-

emphasizes the need for q plat.

Deal proposals, the President take.

Nomination Of Nixon
EIates ; Generations
AT Family Gathering
BY the Associated Press

WHITTIER, Calf, July l2.-
Three generations of Nixons
quietly celebrated the nomination
of Senator Richard Nixon as the
Republican candidate for vice
president.
The family was in a jovial whirl
yesterday when the news arrived
via news men and photographers,
television. radio and telephone
calls.
They were gathered at the
Whittier home of the nominees
brother, F. Donald Nixon, a block
from Nixon's market and coffee
shop and across the street from
the East Whittier Friends Church
of the birthright Quaker denomi-
nation, which the family attends.
There were the Senator's father.
Francis Anthony Crank Nixon,
73, and his 67-year-old wife: son,
Donald, 81, and his wife, Clara
Jane, and their children, Donny,
6, and Lawrene Mae, 8.
Established Business.
The elder Nixon, a straightfor-
ward, white-haired gentleman
wearing hearing aid, established
the family business 80 years ago,
f1rst as a service station, then a
market. He retired five years ago,
whereupon son Don took over the
business, adding a coffee shop.
The nominees mother, a lively.
gray-haired woman, said she
didn't give much credence to the
first reports yesterday that her
son was the vice presidential Sc
lection.
Then when we heard that
Richard really had been nomi- |
mated - well, it was just like a |
dream" she said. Naturally, we
can't wait until Richard and Pat
(the nominees wife, Mrs. Patricia
Ryan Nixon and our grandchil- |
dren come home"
Make Things Snap"
. Father Nixon was much more
blunt about the whole thing.
i felt that he'd do a good Job
as a Senator and then later he
could be the candidate for Pres |!
1dent," he chuckled. II really
didn't want to see him go into this |,
job, but now that he's taken it
he's got to win and he will win. /
And I'll bet Dick will make things
snap in this campaign"
The father is a. lifelong Repub-
lican. He met Herbert Hoover
.(also a Quaker) in Washington /
some years ago and Mr.. Nixon
says: I'll argue politics day and
might along the line that Herbert
Hoover was one of the greatest
men we ever had"
The elder Nixons live in Rich |,

ton. Another son. Edward c., %.

now teaching there, and expects

) Farm at Gettysburg.
: Father Nixon has a 57-acre farm
IN Pennsylvania, 19 miles from
Gettysburg and Is miles from
Gen. EiSenhower's farm. He and
fhis wife frequently visit it with
the nominee and his family.
| That's where Richard really
gets some relaxation, walking in
the woods. playing a little golf and
handball. getting away from the
telephone and telegraph, and play
ing the piano." his mother said.
Richard really is a very good
musician, you know"
{; The parents also have a house
at Lakeland. Fla, and father
Nixon proudly boasts that he has
driven across the country 35 times |,
between Whittier, Washington,
Gettysburg and Lakeland.

In their last minute plea to Federal
Judge Sterling Hutchinson, of the United
States Court for the Eastern District of
Virginia, Attorneys Robinson and Tucker
argued that no white man in Virginia had
been executed for rape since 1908 where.

Negroes had been put to death for this
crime. However, attorneys for the Com

And my body sleeps in death,

A veteran of thirty-two months service as

August of 1850, where she became part

Of the Alaska Native Service.
There, for the past two years, she has
found an opportunity to share in the i'm
provement of the social and physical con-
ditons among the Eskimos and at the same
time benefit from the financial advanta-
ges accompanying such positions
The teacher states that Geography seems

lection for animals and dearly love animal
stories,' she said Much stress is put upon
the teaching of Hygiene land sanitation.

personal calls in the homes of her pupils.
She prepares and serves her little charges
breakfast each morning before classes are
begun. This meal which may consist OF
cereal, milk, fresh or dried fruit and VIII
min pills, is designed to counteract any
die airy deficiencies found among the ma
tives.
Making the proper social adjustments
during her leisure hours has been no prob
lem for Miss Powell. She and the other
"Outsiders' who include other teachers,
agency personnel and church staff, are
constantly being drawn into close friendly
circles by common interests. Much of their

Waterproof Flooring
Ordered in Baths

Plans to require all bathrooms
in the District to have waterproof
floors met with opposition yester-
day at the Commissioners meet
ing but became a new regulation
anyway.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Robert F. Kneipp explained to
the city heads that the regula-
tons do not provide for a water
proof floor covering for bathrooms
and toilet rooms. He said a seri-
Gus health menace could result.
Opposing the change were rep
resentatives of the Washington
Real Estate Board. the Washing
ton Hotel Association and the
Building Owners and Managers
Association.
They declared the regulation
is not needed. They said a water
proof floor would not eliminate
the dangers of faulty plumbing.
They also objected to a provi-
sion that all floors be finished
with a curved base so that dirt
could not collect on the floors.
District officials agreed to elimi-
nate the curved floor provision.
Most bathrooms in the District
are believed to conform to the
waterproof covering regulation,
even though there has never been
such rule. Older building
owners will have to install water
proof coverings now - such as
linoleum.
