The Stevenson forces were en-

In addition, a report was re-

State.
Under a boiling sun, Mr.. Ste
venson yesterday campaigned
throughout the Jacksonville
area. Accompanied by his man
ayers and a flock of newspaper,
TV and radio correspondents
and commentators, the candi-
date marched UP the street,
shaking hands right and left. He
visited two large department
stores, where he shook hands
and waved to salesgirls and GUS
toners alike. A large throng
greeted him at the local Steven
son headquarters. Next, by bus
he visited the Merrill Stevens
shipyard, where q platform had
been erected for him to address
the workers as they came of the
job for their noon hour lunch.
Recalls 1912 Visit
In a brief speech, Mr.. Steven
son told his audience that he
firmly believed it was necessary
to restore the control of the
Government to the Democratic
party. to handle the domestic
and international issues which
confront the country. The social
advances made under the Demo-
cratic administrations of Frank
lin D. Roosevelt and Harry s.
Truman, he said. must be en-
larged and continued. The last
time he visited the shipyard, he
said. was in 1912 when he was
an assistant to Secretary Of the
Navy Frank Knox, when the
war was on.

Seaweed for Supper

With the population of the world con-

This is recipe for boiled seaweed,

For over a hundred years, botaniSts
have been experimenting with the micro
Scopic algae and their larger cousins, sea-
weeds, to insure a food source for mankind
from the seas and fresh water lakes of the
world. At present, laboratories throughout
America are advancing to point where
they could cook up a dinner where every
course would include a seaweed product.
One such laboratory is at the Univer
sity of Maryland. Under the direction of
Dr. Robert KrauSS, research botaniSt, the
experiments at Maryland have been con-
cerned with the physiology of algae.
Dr. KrauSS defines algae as simple
plants, characterized for the most part by

With the aid of five associates, DR..

modern, well-equipped laboratory that only
a few years ago was an unused attic.

seaweeds, have been part of the worlds

remarkable. Along with rice and fish, seq

which lowered above us and the
clouds as white as the snow on
its summit. Later we arrived in
Oaxaca, farther south in Mexico,
and from there we flew to, To-
tontapec and then to Carmen at
the base of the Yucatan Pen
Ursula.
The trip from Carmen to
Merida. our destination at the
extreme end Of the Yucatan

time we were airborne for Merida.
The ground below was unbroken
and monotonous. the dark green

Gulf Of Mexico was on our left.
The air at 1000 feet was
smooth, with scattered white
cumulus clouds hanging lazily
above us as we droned on an
hour and a half out from Car
men. Within Is minutes these
same clouds formed huge thun-
derheads, closing in above us to
form the dense blackish-gray of
a tropical electric storm. Half
an hour later We were 40 miles
out at sea, trying to fly around
the storm; an hour and a half
after that we touched down at
Merida. The afternoon had con-
firmed the advice of those who
had warned us to finish all fly

didates. Many students told Us
they feel the Republican Party
Is the party Of youth. They feel
that the party has made a genuine
effort to get the youth vote.
As a Missouri boy told us: How
can we develop into real citizens
worth our stuff if we are not con-
sidered worthy Of notice? That's
why we go for Ike. And Nixon is q
young man. He surely is interested
in appealing to us teen-aRers."
Faith In President
II they were voting now, 1872 Of
those surveyed would like to see
Mr.. Eisenhower returned to the
presidency. Mr.. Stevenson got the
support Of 1876 per cent, Senator
Kefauver. 8.3: Mr.. Nixon, %;
Gov. Hartman. IA. Other can
didates split SO per cent o: the
poll, and ISL per cent have made
no choice. (Since the survey was
taken Senator Kefauver has
dropped out Of the presidential
racer
The Eisenhower supporters told
us that they have faith in the
President as man who can keep
the Nation out Of war and the
economy healthy. Most do not
consider the Presidents health a
detriment to seeking a second
term. Some said they consider
him the only man for the Job,
sick or well.
Those who back Mr.. Stevenson
call him a firm leader with the
interests Of the working man in
mind. They say his foreign poll
cieS would be improved over
those of the present administra-
ton. They say he would be able
to keep wages high and the cost
Of living down.
Want Reasonable Prices
When they were reminded that
the cost Of living had been rela-
lively steady in the last few years,
they said they simply wanted
prices within reason when they
began working and starting fam
lilies, and added they had heard
their parents complain about
rising costs and thought change
in administration would help the
situation.
One interesting fact is that
about 80 per cent Of the teen
ayers would vote for the same
candidate their parents favor.
But they deny that parental
preferences influence their votes.

Left From Brownsville
Turning away from Totonta-

our departure from the States.
After leaving the port Of entry
at Brownsville, Tex, our last stop
in the United States, we flew low
toward Tampico along the des-
olate but sandily beautiful beach
Of the Gulf Of Mexico. Arriving
in Tampico, a coastal city of
about 100000, we had our first
interesting encounter with Mex
lean off1cialdom. We were eat
ing dinner with the American
Consul when he received a tele-
phone call from the Mexican
Coast Guard; Mexican gunboats
had arrested five American fish,
Ing vessels, supposedly for fishing
for shrimp within 8 miles of the
Mexican coastline.
When the American craft, es-
corted by a Coast Guard gun
boat, arrived in Tampico Harbor,
we boarded one Of them to talk
to the captured fishermen. The
American seamen steadfastly
maintained that they were be-
yond the nine-mile limit at 81
fathoms (about IL miles QUIT
when the Mexican gunboat
opened up with warning bursts
of machinegun fire. Neverthe-
less, the Mexican authorities
seemed deaf to these complaints
and proceeded to dump what
amounted to q weeks fishing
worth Of shrimp into their own
baskets. We then learned that
they would sell the shrimp to
United States buyers themselves
and that the standard procedure
called for q fine Of $500 per
boat to be levied next morning
in court.
United States law recognizes
only q three-mile limit for ex-
traterriorial claims, while the
Mexican authorities claim juris-
diction UP to nine miles from
