The Democrats would very
much like to know If Vice
President Richard M. Nixon
Is to be President Eisenhow-
er's running mate. For many
months they built up q smear
campaign against Mr.. Nixon
In the firm belief he would be
renominated If Mr.. Eisenhower
stood for q second term. or
that he might be the Repub-
lican presidential nominee II
the President declined to run.
If for any reason the COP.
at its national convention in
San Francisco next August
should pick another vice pres
idential nominee. the Demo-
Gratis m u d slingi efforts
would be largely a waste Of
time. Ever since President
Eisenhower's heart attack, the
Democrats let it be known that
they would campaign particu-
larly against Nixon If the Eli
senhower Nixon ticket was
again put in the field by the
Republicans.
Keeps Them Guessing
Unless President Eisenhower
abandons the position he took
Wednesday when he an
nounced he would himself be
a candidate for reelection,
the Democrats are likely to
be kept guessing for a long
time about the 1856 vice pres
idential nomination. Indeed,
they may not know for sure
until after the Democratic Ma
tional Convention-which for
the first time since 1883 will
be held in advance Of the Re-
publican National Convention.
President Eisenhower said at
his now historic press confer
ence: II believe it is tradi-
tional that the Vice President
is not nominated until after a
President is, a presidential
candidate; so I think we will
have to wait to see who the
Republican convention nomi-
mates, and then 1t will be prop
er to give an expression on
that point"
Historically. President Eli
senhower is entirely correct
though occasionally word has
leaked out about the choice of
q running mate by a Presi-
dent seeking a second term, in
advance of the presidential
nomination. Occasionally, it
has been taken for granted
that a President would have
as his running mate the Vice
President. This was the case
when Woodrow Wilson sought
a second term in the White
House. with Vice President
Thomas r. Marshall of Indi-
ana renominated. Franklin D.
Roosevelt kept as his running
mate Vice President John
Garner, when Roosevelt ran
for his second term.
When Roosevelt ran for a
third term, Garner, who OPP
posed a third term, was not
willing to go along-indeed,
his name was entered in some
presidential primaries against
Roosevelt. Roosevelt picked
Henry Wallace of Iowa, then
Secretary of Agriculture, and

'Roqer' No Longer Roger
By ROBERT SYLVESTER

Under the new agreement, all
NATO members and pilots will
soon start using the new pho
netic alphabet. This alphabet
was originally set up to eliminate
confusion. You didn't say "yes"
or no" you said Roger" or
Negative" And you spelled the
alphabet Able, Baker, Charlie,
Dog, Easy, etc.
Under the new code, only four
of the original names remain
Charlie, Mike, Victor and x
Ray. The switch was made be-
cause most of our alphabet words
didn't translate well and were
tough to pronounce in foreign
languages. So Roger and Out
become Romeo and Out, which
may have some hidden signifi-
canoe. Love becomes Lima,
Sugar is now Sierra and How

oronto Plan for Area

lily to the people of the District. "
Mr.. Gardiner said the key i'm
petuS to the Toronto area gov
eminent, com only called
Metro" was the complete in
ability of all its Jurisdictions to
finance public services to keep
pace with the suburbs, which
grew by 700 per cent in 10 years.
Comparable to the Washington
area, he said, the Toronto area
has a population of about IA
million
Cites Tax Exemption
But the "acme of imperfec-
ton has been reached in the
District, he said. with about half
its property, valued at over 81
billion, off the tax rolls.
Since its start of operation in
January, 1854. Mr.. Gardiner
said, Toronto's Metro has
launched a 10-year, $3.50 million
capital improvement program,
which will meet the areas basic
public service needs.
In providing the services, he
said, Metro "actS like a whole
saler," selling water or new
sewer lines, for example, to each
jurisdiction. The Jurisdictions,
in turn, retail the services to in
dividuals. Metro also pays each
suburb a set amount per-pupil
for school administration.
Likewise. he explained, taxes
are assessed directly against the
municipalities. which in turn COL
lect money from individuals.
Based on comparable property
assessment standards through
out the area, Metro will collect
SAG million in taxes this year.
Built Paying Subway
On other points. Mr.. Gardi-
ner:
Warned that urban areas must
combine rapid transit with new
.eXpreSSWay systems. Metro built
a f1ve-mile. north-south subway
two years ago which-on a 1917
cent fare-is making a profit and
operating with eight-car trains
at its top capacity of 10000 pas
sengerS in peak hours. Under
study now is a new nine-mile
east-west subway. to cost $50
million.
Said Metro also is providing
special rights of-way for mass
transit on its expressways, either
through reservation of center
strips or provisions of special
"buS bay" lanes.
