comfortable than 1 am right

View Beautiful, Inspiring
He said the view from his lofty
perch was most beautiful and
inspiring" and that from his
position just few miles east of
Minneapolis he could see the
eastern boundaries Of Lake
Michigan.
He said he was not nervous
during the flight and that the
ascent was made in 70 minutes.
He remained at 10000 feet, the
balloons maximum altitude, for
an hour and so minutes before
being summoned down.
1t originally had been planned
to keep the craft at this height
for several hours, but voice radio
facilities in the gondola failed on
the ascent and. although Capt.
Kittinger could still hear ground
observers and send messages on
code transmltter, it was de-
cided to summon him down early.
Capt. Kittinger wore a pressure
suit in the acknowledgements,

stances from now until the cleo
ton in 1858.
Mr.. Thomas has been active
in Republican politics in Califor-
mia for a number of years and
at one time was considered for
the national Craftsmanship. He
was formerly chairman of the
California Republican Finance
c m mittee. The Republican
Party in California has to select
a candidate for the Senate seat
which Senator Knowland, Re-
publican leader of the Senate. is
relinquishing at the close of the
present Congress. 1t has been
suggested in some quarters that
Mr.. Thomas might become
candidate for that nomination.
Plan Poses Problem
Secretary Of the Treasury
Humphrey is remaining on in his
present Office for some little
time, which would interfere with
his selection for the national
finance Craftsmanship if it is
necessary to have a new chair
man without delay. However.
if Mr.. Humphrey could be pre-
vailed upon to accept such an
appointment. the leadership I'M
doubtedly would be glad to wait
for him.
Courtney Burton. who like Mr.
Humphrey comes from Ohio. has
already had considerable expert
ence in raising funds for the
Republicans as chairman of the
G. o. p. Ohio Finance Com
mittee.
The Republican gathering here
this week will be addressed by
both President Eisenhower and
Vice President Nixon. The Re-
publican leaders who took part
in the six regional party confer
ences which Mr.. Alcorn has held
in the last two months have all
been invited to attend the con-
ference here.

Republic Steel.
A capable national finance
chairman is becoming more and
more necessary to the Repub-
llican organization. There has
been no national finance chair
man since the resignation of
j. Clifford Foleer of the District
OF Columbia to become Ambas-
ssdor to Belgium.
1t is no secret that there has
been a dearth of contributions
from many usual Republican
sources. This has been due in
considerable part to the criticism
of President EiSenhower's $7l.8
billion budget for the next fiscal
year Also there have been criti-
cism from Republican business
men on the ground that the
Presidents domestic program is
too New DealiSh." Indeed uues-
ton of financial support for the
Republican National Committee
as well as for some Of the Re-
publican State committees. has
