Another Report Later
The. executive committee
agreed to report later on its
general proposals for improving
the administration Of justice. Mr..
Rogers noted, however. that the
executive committee had agreed
at this time to support the rec
concentrations of the Judicial
Conference of the United States.
Chief among the recommends
tions which the judicial confer
Ience will report to Congress in
January are proposals for IS
more additional District Court
judgeships and two Circuit
Court judgeships and a law to
make chief judges of both APP
|pellate and district courts
|relinquiSh their posts as chief
Judges at the age of 70.
State Statistics Sought
Mr.. Rogers noted that tGe
executive committee also agreed
that the State courts should
provide accurate statistics on the
work Of their courts. The execu-

at q point where three out of
four cases are settled between

Mr.. Thompson added that, of
course, such an opportunity
would depend on the breaks of
the game"
An on-the-spot spectator at
both the Democratic and Repub-
lican conventions, Mr.. Thomp-
son reported the challengers got
a good deal more public relations
mileage for lots less money than
did the G. o. P in San Francisco.
Asked whether most people

Repeatedly, Mr.. Nixon ap-
pealed for the election of Re-
publican Congress as well as
President.
Sees Soil Bank Aid
He said drought-stricken farm
ers would be better of if the
Democratic Congress had not
baked at administration plans
for early payment of soil bank
benefits. Still, he said, the soil
bank in the long run will help
drought areas.
Mr.. Nixon said congressional
opposition also had blocked
projects advocated by the Pres
ident under his partnership"
policy for natural resources de-
velopment. Mr.. Nixon declared
that only this policy, emphasiz-
ing the role of local govern
mentS and private interests in
power and similar developments.

He again denied Democratic
charges that Mr.. Eisenhower is
against the little man." saying
he objected to this term for any
American and that ''for the great
majority of Americans the Eli
lsenhower years have been the
best four years of our lives"
The interview, in which Mr..
Nixon was questioned by eight
Inewsmen in as many cities, was
presented as Mr.. Nixon's report
on a 32-State campaign swing
he completed Wednesday. Aides
said he has no further political
engagements until he takes to
the campaign road again Tues

Nixon's TV Press Conference
Unreheorsed, 6. 0. P. Says

Vice President Nixon's per-
Torrance last night, in what has
been called television's first
transcontinental press confer
ence, was absolutely unre-
hearsed."
This was the reply today from
l.. Richard Guylay, publicity di-
rector for the Republican Ma
tional Committee, when told
that some viewers were amazed
at the ease with which Mr.. Nixon
handled each question for the
optimum in political advantage.
The Vice President didn't even
break stride for what a drama
teacher would call a "vocalized
pause"--an "er'-during the
80 minutes he was being inter-
viewed by eight newsmen from
various sections of the country.
Mr.. Guylay explained that Mr..
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-10-05

Nixon has had scores of press
conferences since the campaign
began and that not one question
was asked last night that he
has not been asked before in one
form or another. The publicity
chief said he wished there had
been some new questions like,
What do you think of Adlai
Stevenson's campaiGn?"
Mr.. Nixon used no notes or
prompters during the program,
Mr.. Guylay said.
Before the program went on
the air, the G. o. P. aide said.
the producer spoke to the eight
newsmen over the audio circuit
and told them three things:
They were free to ask any ques-
tons they desired; try to hold
questions to 30 seconds and listen
to all questions so none would
be repeated

volvlng threats to peace and
freedom.
Mr.. Stevenson has said the
draft should be ended "at the
earliest possible moment con-
sistent with the national safety"
On a Nationwide television
interview last night, Mr.. Nixon
said Republicans would like to
be able to promise that compul-
sorry military service could soon
be abolished without impairing
national safety. But he said they
would not kid the American
people in an election year
when we know there is no chance
at this particular time for it
to happen"
Hits Korean Losses
1t would be completely ire
sponsible, Mr.. Nixon said, to tell
allies the United States is re-
ducing its strength and still ex-
pect them to keep up their own
full efforts.
And Mr.. Nixon promised that
never, under Mr.. Eisenhower,
would thousands of American
Boys go into a war unprepared,
as he said happened in Korea.
Some of them died because
they did not have the training
they needed" Mr.. Nixon said.
OF Mr.. Stevenson, he said II
think perhaps he believes in
various proposals he has offered
with respect to the draft and

the basis of a simple agreement
with the Russians, who haven't
kept many agreements as we
well know"

A psychological warfare expert
has some ideas about how Vice
President Nixon might meet his
public relations problem.
Charles A. H. Thompson,
senior staff member of the
Brookihgs Institution, noted
yesterday that Mr.. Nixon's sup
porters have had difficulty learn
ing exactly what the Vice Presi-
dents critics do not like about
him and why.
Nevertheless. Mr.. Thompson
told the Middle Atlantic Public
Relations Conference at the
Statler Hotel, this would be his
advice:
The problem for Mr.. Nixon
is that he should be cast in g
role where people can sense what
he himself stands for. He should
not say merely that my views
are very close to those Of the
President

badly a lot of them have been
right for them to get start We
will not always continue to be
SO lucky We have had at least
three slight infestations of Can
adam Thistle in the past If it
ever gets a good start here we
have really had it. There IS al
ways a possibility of it coming

asking each of us to report any
infestations we find to the Ter
