had been inclined 10 discount the FAA
heads opinion that the Electra's colli-
sion with large flock Of migrating
starlingS led to engine failure as the
plane was taking OF from Logan Airport.
ALI 50 persons aboard the plane were
killed. However, careful examipation of
the four engines at the manufacturers
plant has disclosed evidence that birds
flying into the air intakes of the engines
led to the disaster. The CAB announced
that its investigation to date "has indi-
Gated the probability that ingeStion Of
birds caused the malfunction Of one or
more engines" It said feathers were
found in three of the four engines or
their appurtenanceS.
The CAB therefore has indorsed Mr..
Quesada'S special "alert" to pilots and
airport operators on the peril which even
small birdS-in Sufflcient numbers-can
present to- airplanes, especially those
with jet or turbo-prop engines. How to
cope with this relatively new threat to
air safety is problem requiring Joint
study by aviation experts and ornitholo-
giSts, with reference to such things as
migrating bird habits in the case Of
the latter.

Stounton Reunion

In the unlikely event that any doubt
remained as to the 1860 political stand Of
Virginia's Senator Byrd, it should have
been diSpelled by the Senator's "non-
political" reunion with President EiSen-
hover in Staunton.
While Mr.. Eisenhower did not touch
directly on the presidential race, he
preached the virtues of fiscal RESPONSE
bility," and spoke warmly of the fight he
and Senator Byrd had made against "a
common enemy-exceSSive costs in gov
ernment." II am proud" he added, ito
have been able to fight for fiscal respon-
sibility, shoulder to shoulder with your
senior Senator"
For his part, Senator Byrd, in in
PRODUCING the President, said II can
vouch for his views. -"
There was a certain element Of in
direction in this exchange. But its i'm
port will not be lost on Virginia voters.
The President, of course, was preaching
Republican doctrine - the doctrine of
f1Scal conservatism as embodied in the
1860 party platform and advocated in
the Nixon-Lodge speeches. Senator
Byrd, although he did not put it in so
y many words, was saying that he agrees
with Mr.. Eisenhower. Among those who
got the, point was Virginias Governor
Almond, who has been campaigning hard
for the Kennedy Johnson slate. He came
to Staunton, as a matter Of courtesy, to
greet the President. His reception by
both the President and the senior Sena-
tor was cool, however, and he left almost
before the presidential party had de-
parted from the airport. Thus, the
hard fight for Virginia's IL electoral
votes moves into the home stretch.
And as it does so, there can be no
possible question as to where Senator
Byrd stands.

Both Sides of the Choin-Link Fence

In response to the October
IS article entitled Southwest
Symbol: Chain Link?" by
Robert Lewis, your real estate
editor, I would like to point
out a few facts for his benefit.
I am branch manager Of
the Anchor Fence Co. Of
Washington, D. c., but ! am
not as biased as he might
think.
The article states every
thing that Mr.. Lewis Is
against, nothing about what
he is for,
He states that Amidon-
Greenleaf School is q low
budget school. The cost of
this school was estimated at
$930.000 by the District. Since
when Is this low budget?
The Capitol Park Apart
ments that he regards as so
exclusive has 500 feet Of our
fence on the rear steps.
District law prohibits a
fence with less than so per
cent visibility. Would Mr..
Lewis ask the District to vio-
: late its own laws?
A statement that "chain-
link fence is relatively mex
penSive and looks it," e also
in error. Chain-link. Is equal
in cost to Just about any
fence. What makes It In
expensive is its long life.
Mr.. Lewis states that
chain-link fence is used
with discrimination, II at all
in residential areas" Mr..
Lewis must live down at The
Star. Last year Anchor
Fence Division sold $40 mil
lion worth Of chain-link
fence. A majority Of this
was for residential homes. I
do not know Of q single ex-
elusive apartment building in
Washington that does not
have some chain-link fence
on the property. I might add
The Star has q pretty good
size Anchor Fence on its own

Audience Reaction to Campaign Orotoy

ThomaSE. Dewey spoke out
boldly on Quemoy and Matsu
In San Francisco on October
a.. The twice defeated pres
idential candidate said (ac-
cording to an AP dispatch)
that the differing views be-
tween Senator Kennedy and
Vice President Nixon amount
to the gulf between war and
peace. Senator Kennedy
wants to retreat, Mr.. Nixon
does not" said the former
New York Governor.
Mr.. Dewey's belief that we
must hold these islands at
all costs seems to be q re-
cent conversion on his part.
On October IL, 1858 Mr..
Dewey appeared on q CHS
television program with Ed
ward r. Murrow. The New
York Times of the next day
reported as follows:
when Mr.. Murrow raised
the Chinese question, Mr..
Dewey replied:
well, I do think the
World Court is the proper
place to determine whose real
estate those little islands are,
and If the Communists won't
agree to the World Court,
then the United Nations could
ask for an advisory opinion
and ! am sure that the United
States would abide by the
World Court and I can't
imagine that the Nationalists
on FormoSa would refuse to
abide by it,
"It may well be that those
islands are properly part of
the mainland and. if so, the
World Court, ! am sure, would
say SO, and I am sure we
would abide by it,"
A presidential campaign
apparently makes all the diff
ference.

Kennedy quoted Mr.. Lodges
statement. Mr.. Lodge denied
he had made it. Yet that

Mr.. Lodge spoke on Face

On Quemoy and Matsu,
Mr.. Nixon first wanted to
defend the islands as "a
principle" but he back
tracked. saying he would de-
fend the islands if they were
attacked as a part of a gen.
eral attack on Formosa,
which has been Mr.. Ken
nedy's position all the time.
Senator Javits' statement
that American prestige has
slipped was retracted by Sen
ator JavitS.
Do the Republicans think

to deny such statements, and
the statements will be unsaid?

THE PASSING SCENE
Nixon Break With Eisenhower Policy
By RALPH McCILL

VIII 1t delight bankers and
other financial interests. Nor
will it gladden. the heart of
Barry Goldwater. In fact,
when he hears about 1t, he
will be hard put not to say
something critical. II the
ultraconservative Goldwater
swallows this in silence it will
surprise and disappoint his
more dedicated followers. The
2 per cent REA borrowing
rate has been a rock In the
shoe Of power interests for
a good 20 years. They were
successful in invoking strong
White House support. Indeed,
the President almost sue
ceeded in having the Con-
gresS expunge the rate.
Troubled Candidate
Without question, Mr.. Nixon
is q troubled man. He is
having to move through
depressed industrial areas
and. in effect, ignore their
situation. He has been forced
to talk about freedom and
Senator Kennedy's position
on Matsu, Quemoy and Cuba
In areas where thousands of
unemployed were in his
crowds. He cannot very well
go into any real discussion
Of the depressed economy
without. in effect, seeming to
sustain Senator Kennedy'S
charge that the Eisenhower
policies have failed domesti-
cally as well as information
ally.
In central and western
Pennsylvania, the Vice Pres
ident was confronted in some
cities with groups Of unem-
ployed carrying signs which,
in their acid bitterness, must
have disturbed Mr.. Nixon
deeply, both personally and
politically.
At York. for example, there
were signs to greet him read
ing:
welcome Nixon to our
growing ranks 1884 York
county's unemployed"
welcome to York County
- more unemployed, fewer
employed-we never had 1t
so good"
1--WE never had it so good
we have lost our jobs"
His recognition Of the
lower prices for farmers led
him to break with his chief
and the policy Of four years
and give an all-out New Deal
pledge to the REA co-ops. It
may well be that before
November 8 he will make
some similar move in the field
of industrial discomfort.

A Foirer Voice

. Maryland's reapportionment pot is
boiling more merrily all the time, in
,creaSing pressure to give urban counties
"a fairer representation in the House Of
delegates: The latest development is a
new reapportionments proposal from
State Senators Northrop, Of Montgom-
.ery, and Pine, of Baltimore, which repre-
.Sents q solid Improvement over the
Walsh Commission plan, and which the
Senators are hopeful may be Endorsed
by the Legislature next year.
Right now, the four biggest counties
Montgomery, Prince Georges, Balti-
more and Anne Arundel-have 46 per
cent of the State population and 10 per
cent Of the votes in the House. No more
evidence than this is needed to demon
.strate the gross unfairness Of a situa-
.tion that is growing worse year by year.
Under the Walsh plan, additional dele
gates from these burgeoning areas
would be added gradually over the next
decade. Under the Northrop- Pine plan,
these four counties together would get
an immediate increase Of IL delegates,
with six more delegates going to six
other heavily populated regions.
b: Even this approach falls short Of
the ideal goal of representation related
directly to population-a formula which
,one group of citizens is trying to win
through the courts. It is a step in
the right direction, nevertheless, and
deserves support. Since the Northrop-
Pine proposal requires a constitutional
amendment, it could not get on the
ballot before the 1862 general election.
One thing that Montgomery voters can
do this election day, however, is to sign
the reapportionment petitions that will
be circulated at all 88 county polling
places on November8, thus demonstrat-
ing the force Of their demand for more
equitable voice in the body that governs
them.

The UqIy MissiIeers

i.sas. Everything considered, although
their words may grow harsher or more
zStrident as November nears, Vice Presi-
dent Nixon and Senator Kennedy have
been campaigning against each other on
iarelatively high plane. It is noteworthy,
too, that they have been attracting large
and enthusiastic crowds that have been
markedly attentive to what they have
been saying about national and inter-
national affairs.
- These crowds, In fact, have been
showing q seriousness Of mood that has
sbeen the exception rather than the rule
in past presidential electioneering. And
at is mood generally interpreted as in
.tiicating that Americans everywhere, on
farm and in city, are keenly and anx-
ituuSly aware Of the challenging and even
,Somber nature Of our time and Of the
historic Importance Of the choice they
will make, little more than week from
tnow, when they vote to elevate Mr.. Nixon
,or Mr.. Kennedy to the White House.
| Here is clear display Of mass
political maturity, a good example Of
democracy at work, and 1t ought to have
Ithe special attention Of all those abroad
Iwho tend to belittle or scoff at our politi-
ical system. OF course, as in other lands,

Two Patients.
In the course Of the first
debate between Messrs. Ken
nedy and Nixon, Franklin D.
Roosevelt was repeatedly re-
ferred to as a hero Of the
Democratic Party. A not
able action taken by him at
the outset Of his adminiStra-
ton was to flout the con-
sistent policy Of the Repub-
lican Party toward Soviet
Russia. Recognition Of Soviet
Russia had been withheld for
IA years. Had other out
standing nations pursued a
similar policy, the Soviet re-
gime might have withered
and fallen into decadence.
That is a rational specula-
ton. But President Roose-
velt's administration prompt
ly came to the rescue Of the
regime and extended rec
ognition to it and extricated
it from an existing plight in
which recognition from the
United States was desired.
The term recognition Is
frequently used when diplo-
matte relations are estab-
lished between governments.
Such action is without a
sound basis unless there is
good reason to believe that
the relationship will be pleas
ant and profitable.

Overlooked. Issue

In the campaign time atmosphere Of
today, economic statistics mean prima-
rily whatever the reader wishes them to
mean. This being so, the "outS," mean
ing the Democrats, interpret current
indicators as evidence that the country
is heading into recession, and they cite
statistics on third-quarter decline in
gross national product, fewer housing
starts and high unemployment. But the
"ins," meaning the Republicans, have
their way Of reading statistics, and they
point out that the GIMP decline was less
than four-tenths of one per cent and
that an estimated 1860 GIMP Of $503 bill
lion will be far greater than that ever
recorded under Democratic admins
Stration, that there are new high records
of personal income and savings, that
there is high backlog of building per-
mitS to Offset the lag in housing starts,
and that there are 1.2 million more peo-
pie employed today than was the case
year ago.
Against this background Of fixed
statistics but flexible interpretations,
DR.. Raymond ]. Saulnier, chairman Of
the Presidents Council Of Economic
Advisers, has advanced, flrst of all, some
explanations and, secondly, some judg-
mentS Of his own about the economic
present and future. He points out, for
example, that the mild drop in the GIMP
rate has resulted entirely from slow
down in inventory accumulation while
final purchases" in other categorieS Of
goods and services continued to advance.
In his opinion, final purchases, repre-
senting the demand for final use without
regard to goods which may be Stockpiled
on shelves, come "cloSer than GIMP to
being measure Of real, sustaining force
Of demand in our economy" There is,
he believes, mighty thin basis" for
recession talk today.
Toward the future, DR.. Saulnier
takes an optimistic view but with
reservations that are important In this
period Of political decision. He thinks
that the national economy Is in good
position to make another major advance
and that the next decisive move will be
In that direction. His qualification,
however, is that such an outlook depends
0ktOAA SO4At4140014GG Va 0OuA40 a4A0 Op41-
structive economic and financial policies,
including uncompromising respect for
the independent position in our govern
ment Of the Federal Reserve System.
Stated another way, DR.. Saulnier's
warning is that any return to infiation-
breeding policies, which include political
manipulation of the Federal Reserve
System, could mean economic disaster.
Strangely, the issue Of genuine fiscal
responsibility has not yet emerged as a
major topic in this campaign. Only
Secretary Of Treasury Anderson, In his
one political speech in Texas last week,
has drawn the line clearly on the i'm
plications of the Democratic platform
and its danger Of bringing a new round
Of massive deficit financing or stagnat-
ing tax increases. President Eisenhower
hit at it briefly during his address last
night. It is late, but perhaps not too late,
to give this issue the priority it merits.
