BY ELMO ROPER

The principal standard for Sc
lecting a vice presidential can
didate in modern American his
tory has been largely political
what he could add to his
presidential runninR-mate's to-
tai. 1t has been a rule of thumb
for example, to have a presi-
Dental and vice presidential
candidate from different parts OF
the country. Somewhat less en-
phasis has been placed on the
broad appeal a vice presidential
candidate might have for the
population Of the country as a
whole.
The Presidents recent illness
has raised the Importance OF
the vice presidency to a new and
high level. In view Of this new
Importance, the politicos have
been particularly concerned this
year with the vice presidential
candidates vote-getting abilities
But in the face President Eli
senhower's immense popularity
the problems were:
l. For Republicans to select
someone who would not take
away votes from any key groups
in the population, rather than
someone who could add votes.
2. For Democrats to select a
vice presidential candidate who
would add strength in as many
groups as possible. CAS- a result,
for the first time in modern po-
litical history, a convention was
opened to the selection of a Vice
President in the same manner
as the President is normally Sc
lected.)
Our latest national survey
shows that Republicans who are
for President Eisenhower are
somewhat more pleased with
Vice President Nixon than DEM
ocrats who are for Adlai Steven
son are with Senator Kefauver,
But the ability of Mr.. Nixon to
please Eisenhower Republicans,
or Of Senator Kefauver to please
Stevenson Democrats is no meas
ure of either candidates ability
to strengthen his ticket.
Among a more important
grOup-th0se undecided as to
presidential candidate regard
less of party affiIiation) --Ke-
fauver has the edge, with "a
per cent citing him as the
"best possible candidate" COM
pared to 20 per cent describing
Nixon as ''the best possible
candidate" (The question
asked also permitted respond
ents to describe either candi-
date as zone Of several good
men" or could have been a
good deal better.")
AS to section of the country,
it is interesting that both Vice
Presidential candidates are least
popular in their own parts of
the country, and that both cam
didates show strength in the i'm
portant rural sections of the
Midwest:

|Kefduver Blasts
Nixon 'FdIsity' in
Vermont Talk

BURLINGTON. vt, oct. Il
(P1. - Senator Estes Kefauver
choosing Republican territory
for his strongest attack OF the
campaign on Vice President
Nixon. said today the Vice Presi-
dent rs trying to get into the
White House on false premises
a false front and a false face
Il can't believe" Senator Ke-
fauver SAID in a prepared
speech, shat Vermonters would
want Mr.. Nixon to possibly sue
coed to the presidency or at the
least to become the center OF
power in the Republican Party
that they have SO long sup
ported"
The Democratic vice-presiden-
tial nominee, recovered from q
sore throat he picked up in the
Midwest, was setting out on q
new coast-to-coast tour after a
brief overnight stop at his Wash
ington home. He has covered
about 5000 miles and six States
in the past week.
He told newSmen on arriving
in Washington last night that he
felt fine and was ready for an
about effort in the final three
weeks of the campaign.
Faces Full Slate Again
His managers apparently felt
so, because they laid out a
typical Kefauver program for the
first day of his new tour. His
schedule took him on a 500-mile
morning fight from Washington
to Burlington, with talks at Essex
Junction and Winooski, Vt. in
addition to his major effort here.
Then he was to fly to New York
for five speeches in Queens and
Nassau County ending at 1890.
In his Burlington speech, the
Senator said skeptics had asked
him why he bothered to cam
paign in a State that even
Franklin Roosevelt couldn't car
ry.
But he insisted that every
State is a battle-ground this year,
and that, in addition, Il think
the Democrats should have a
chance to win in Vermont" be-
cause Of Mr.. Nixon.
The TenneSSean said YER
mont'S two Republican Senators,
George Aiken and Ralph Elan
ders, ARE men of integrity" with
liberal voting records"
Dick Nixon is a Republican of
another school," he asserted. HE
is the man who has voted
against everything liberal. He
votes against the REA's (Rural
Identification Associations. He
opposes power development"
Chides "New Nixon
But above ALL" Senator Ke-
fauver said, che doesn't respect
the regulations of human be-
ings. I know that he is a new
Nixon now. But I think it
was Just a skin scratch which
will heal by November 7 and the
old Nixon will be evident again. /"
He said Mr.. Nixon got into
both the House and Senate on
false premises" by trying to
identify his opponents with the
Communist Party.
In 1852 and 1854. Senator Ke-
fauver said, Mr.. Nixon wan
dered the Nation with a min
strel's abandon for the facts and
gaily smeared Democrats in
general"
Yet, the Tennessean said, Mr..
Nixon would inevitably become
the center of power" in the Re-
publican Party if the G. O. P.
wins the election because Presi-
dent Eisenhower will be forbid
den by the Constitution to sue
coed himself.

Navy Negligence Blamed
In Collision Fatal to Y

All the dead and injured were
aboard the Ruchamkin.
The Government had con-
tended that the maneuvers were
publicized in advance, and the
Washington should have given
the entire Navy flotilla the right
of way.
Judgment Not Set
Judge Bryan said the Navy
offered no explanation why the
Ruchamkin apparently did not
receive and regard advice re-
peatedly given the flotilla from
the command ship about the
presence of the Washington. He
said no reason was given why
the Ruchamkin was not alert
to the danger she might encoun-
ter from a strange ship in the
f1otilla's midst. and in this re-
spect was negligent.
The opinion does not award
judgments in the case. The
amount of claims will be estab-
lished in another court action.

Navy negligence yesterday was

crash between an assault trans

Henry, Va, which cost seven
lives.
A m me randu-1 opinion

liability.

A WORD
TO THE WISE
BY MRS. FRANK COLBY

Use caution in pronouncing the
word STRATEGIC. Be sure you
do not voice the prevalent mis-
pronunciation "struh-JET TX. :"
A glance at the spelling will show
why such a pronunciation can
not be correct. Say: truh-TEE-
Ijik.
There is no rat" ina PRO

aries. British and American, were
consulted in an attempt to find
sanction for the commonly heard

RECOMMENDATION simply doesn't
exist, so far as the dictionaries
are concerned. They give us these
alternatives: First choice: proc
lRAY-tuh; second choice: proc
RAH-tuh.
In the 18th century, Spinoza
said: Mature abhors a vacuum.
But history doesn't tell us if he
gave the word the commonly
heard mispronounciation of to-
day, "VAK-yum." LAS a matter
of fact, Spinoza's native language
was Dutch.)
AS any dictionary will attest,
VACUUM is a word of three dis
tinct Syllables, as is the word
ANNUAL. The second syllable of
both words is "yoo," thus: YAK
yoo-um; ANN-yoo-ull.
Despite the resounding "ul-
tub MAT-ums" of our COM
mentators, no dictionary known
tome rhymes the third syllable
with bat, cat, fat. Nor is there
any sanction for the frequently
heard "ul tub NAH tum." Be
sure to rhyme the third syllable
with bay, day, gay. The correct
pronunciation is: ul-tuh-MAY-

Other words in which the long
"a" sound is preferred are verba-
