Irked Citizens Protest
Naming Span for Pirate

NEW YORK, Aug. 3 (AP).-
All you have to do to start an
argument on Staten I$sland
these days is ask, who was
Giovanni da Verrazano?"
History tells us he was a foot
loose Florentine who came this
way more than 400 years ago.
He's credited with discovering
Manhattan and the Hudson
River in 1924.
The controversy started when
the State decided to do him
honor. 1t was suggested that
the bridge over New York Bay,
which will link Brooklyn and
Staten Island, bear his name.
There wasn't a peep from
Brooklyn. But many Staten Is
land residents we're outraged.
They felt the bridge should be
called Staten Island Bridge,
and the Staten Island Cham
Der of Commerce agreed.
Indignantly, these people will
point out to anyone who'll lis
ten that Verrazano, who sailed

Views on Khrushchev Visit Are Held
Compelling Due to Neorness to Voters

In their call on President
Eisenhower the nine Gov
errors who recently toured
Russia advertised their will
ingness to underwrite a visit
by the President to the Sow
let Union and a visit by Pre-
mier Khrushchev to the
United States.
Their attitude almost
amounts to a grass roots
mandate to the administra-
ton to do and keep on do
ing everything possible to
break out of the wise in
which American-Soviet re-
lations appear gripped. The
President has already had
notice from Congress that it
wants such action and is
prepared to share the poll
tical risks attached to it.
Because the Governors are
so much closer to the voters,
their views should be even
more compelling. The nine
included Dem ocrats and
Republicans; their geograph-
ical distribution ranged from
Idaho to New Jersey with
a double dip southwark, and
men from each party eager
to be President or Vice.
President were in their num-
Der.
While they lacked such big
State stars as Cows. Rookie
Teller of New York, Brown of
California and Lawrence of
Pennsylvania, they are gen.
orally an able lot, respected
by their peers. Most of them
are young, which represents
another "alert" for the aging
generation of politicians in
power here. Even the late
Col. McCormick'S supposedly
isolationist Illinois was rep
resented by its Republican
Governor, William G.
Stratton.
1t was moderate Southern
Democrat. the distinguished
Luther Hodges of North Caro-
lima, who told reporters: 1.-THE
Russians are just crazy about
Ike. The man in the street
seems not only to know him
but to love him." This is a

AS far as they're concerned,
there's a Staten Island ferry

that's memorial enough.

1861 Budget, Already Under Discussion,
Called Critical for Eisenhower's Heir

out to be. Mr.. Eisenhower has
nothing to gain or lose. For
he is bowling out of public life.
But Mr.. Nixon has every
thing to gain or lose, as the
man who frankly presents
himself as the Presidents
inevitable heir apparent.
The Vice President cannot
and will not attempt to dis
associate himself in any i'm
portant way from the hold
the-line" spending policy to
which Mr.. Eisenhower is
determined to cling through
the twilight of his tenure.
Mr.. Nixon months ago took
a decision that he would sus-
tain this stand.
All the same, the Vice
President has every intention
to avoid being identified with
fiscal policies having any
strongly Old Guard Repub-
lican flavor. What the Gov
eminent does and does not do
in various welfare fields be-
tween now and the 1860
election will be actually more
his concern than that of any
body else. For it will hurt or
help him more than anybody
else.
Whatever the final 1861
budget, he will be stuck with
it, as a part of the regime
that will have made it. Thus
his basic necessity is to con-
troll the shaping of that
budget. And within this CEN
trail strategy his operations
will be complicated.
He must not seem to pro-
pose any fiat reputation of

| VIENNA, Austria, Aug. 3
(AP).-The press and radio
of East European nations in
the Soviet bloc today BACKED
out reports of the enthusiastic
welcome given Vice President
Nixon by Poles on his arrival
in Warsaw.
The Communist newspapers
reported only his arrival and
that Polish officials received
him.
"They won't mention the
welcoming Details" said a

RAISING to the Communists.
especially all those showers of
flowers and those Bravo Amer

Contrast Noted
This contrasts too much
with the chilly greetings given
lSoviet Premier Khrushchev in
most Polish cities last month
when many Poles failed to obey
Communist Party orders to
show up for the welcoming
even though they would be
paid during time OF from
work"
Moscow's Pravda, only Mon
day morning paper in the So
Wet capital, also reported Mr..
Nixon'S arrival in Warsaw
without mentioning the crowds
that turned out to greet him.
Pravda published in full the
speeches of Mr.. Nixon and
Deputy Premier Frol r. Kozlov
on Mr.. Nixon's departure from
Moscow, but carried only a ESQ
word report on the hour-long
Nixon news conference.

some little progress. He spoke
at a time when a favorite
humor program is on Rus
sian TV. He apologized for
usurping it, but there was no
rival program and none
turned this one off.
The ideas in it are famil-
lar to Americans, but there
was little in it familiar to
Russians. Here was something
new. They were aware that
Mr.. Kozlov and Mr.. Mikoyan
had spoken on United States
TV. But here, for the first
time in all the history Of the
USSR, a reply had been made
on radio-TV. and there was
offered a choice of ideas.
That the Soviet government
agreed to it indicates how
great is the change in the
last two years under Khru-
shchev.
Here was talk of why the
United States has bases and a
direct notice to the Soviet
worker that one-fourth of all
his production goes into arm
aments. There was agreement
that the United States does
not care how much work is
done for success of commu-
nism in Russia, but a strong
question whether this also
means work for a victory over
the United States and other
countries. There was mention
of damned radio broadcasts
and of the fact that four
times as much comment by
Soviet leaders is printed in
America as Russia prints of
comment by United States
leaders.
There was more of this
plain, simple approach.
Richard Nixon read slowly.
He stopped frequently so that
all translations would be
short. The interpreter did an
honest, clear job of putting it
into Russian.

Vice President Richard M.
Nixon's recent mission to
Moscow will hardly be more
significant to his presidential
ambitions than another and
far less dramatic mission he
must now undertake right
here in Washington.
The returning Nixon faces
q creeping crisis in the White
House cabinet room over the
size, shape and tone of next

ready the highest officials in
the Eisenhower administra-
ton are beginning YEARLY to
discuss this hardy perennial.
In Russia the Vice PreSi-

is this: To find and maintain

The whole of the cabinet,
according to what some of
its members have just told
this correspondent, is either
frankly pro-Nixon for 1860
or, at worst, certainly friendly
toward his nomination for
the presidency. The Vice
President nevertheless is in a
peculiarly delicate situation
on the last budget to be pre-
pared by the Eisenhower
administration. No matter

Harry Winston, the owner of the worlds largest blue diamond, has decided to give it as an out right gift to Uncle Sam. Even though it is only the size of 50- cent piece, it is insured at two million dollars. The early history of this rare gem was associated with trouble. It adorned the fore head of a Hindu idol in India when the French explorer Taver- nier in 1903 took it away. En route to Paris he was attacked by a pack of dogs and bitten to death. Both Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, who later had this diamond, also met with tragic ends.
 What a priceless gem the Chris tian does have. It does not com pare with the gems of this world and it is one which always re- suits in blessing to its owner.

Sen. Gruening Proposes Prior Oil-Gas Rights Be Granted HOneSteaderS

WASHINGTON, -UR - Sen. Err nest Gruening today proposed legislation to grant oil and gas rights to Alaska homesteaders who occupied their land prior to the Kenai oil strike.
 His bill would, in effect, cancel the governments requirement that homeSteaders on lands classified as potentially valuable for oil and gas sign a waiver reserving rights in such minerals to the govern ment before receiving title to the land.
 Gruening's bill would be appli- cable not only to the Kenai Pen- insula, but to homeSteads upon which valid entry was made any where in Alaska as of July 3, 1857 - the date of the Kenai strike.
 It was discovery of oil on the Kenai Peninsula by the Richfield Oil Go. which prompted the Bur- eau of Land Management to class ify lands throughout most of Alas ka as potentially oil-bearing. Under terms of a 1922 law this classification would require the waiver which Gruening's bill would eliminate.
 The waiver requirement brought protests from nune1 rus home steaders in Alaska who had en- tered upon their land prior to the time waivers of oil and gas rights were required; but were later told they would have to sign such a waiver before obtaining title
