were rushed into the Times

the city's second series of sense

George Metesky, known as
the mad bomber" planted 80
homemade bombs in the city
from 1910 to 1857. Metesky's
bomb sites also included SUBJ

and the Public Library. Only
% of his bombs exploded, kill

NORFOLK. Oct. 1S.-Henry

Reporters caught the former
United Nations Ambassador as
he alighted' from his plane at
1880 pm. before making two
speeches in Norfolk.
He was asked for comment on
Senator Kennedy's view that
the two islands Of the Chinese
mainland are not defensible and
he would urge their evacuation
by Nationalist China. He says
he would not risk a war to hold
them.

Mr.. Lodge said he also
thought the Kennedy position
is unsound because you can't
tell in October what will be

added, What is and is not

The vice presidential candi-

switches from autobiography to

Lodge Must Loosen
If he is to compete on that
level, Mr.. Lodge also will have
to loosen up his starchy refer
ences to his leader. whose 'in-
telligence" he praises in pass
ing.
Senator johnson, as his train
pulled out of Atlanta the other
night, described a far more
fervent relationship between
himself and his running-mate
"I have looked into the eyes
of Jack Kennedy" he told the
crowd, 81 have pressed the flesh
of his hand, and I want to tell
you he is q great American
whose sole purpose in life is
the greatest good for the great
est number"
If that were not enough, Sen
ator johnson has been solemnly
assuring listeners standing on
the red earth of the Carolinas
and amid the MOSES of Florida
that his leader is "a man you
can go to the well with"
Bafied Yankee reporters in
the encourage are not sure
whether this means a man
you could trust not to push you
in or simply someone you would
enjoy the stroll with. In any
case. Mr.. Lodge has yet to give
similar assurances about the
Vice President.
Into Alabama
One thing is certain. II the
issue is kinsmanship, Mr..
Lodge, despite his illustrious
ancestry, is lost. Senator john
son has transformed the South
in the last few days from a po-
litical or even geographical
area into an amorphous emo
tional entity where everyone
is either a friend or a relation.
Through North and South Car
olina he told of his great-grand-
daddy. a Confederate soldier
preacher who converted Sam
Houston. Another great-grand-
daddy was unearthed in
Georgia.
Florida has been something
of a wastelapd for him, ances-
trally speaking, but today, a
tremendous breakthrough is
assured in Alabama, which is
heavily populated with kissin'
kin of his wife, Ladybird, Miss
Ladybird has sounded the call
to her kin through q long
mimeographed letter which
ends, "Y'all come"
If Mr.. Lodge should quail
before the massed might of
the Taylors, at least four of
whom are named Thomas JEFF
ferson, nobody would blame
him.

Today a provincial COM

MOJOOWs 00Ay IL Var y -
Nikita S. Khrushchev declared
today the Monroe Doctrine is
dead.
The Washington declaration
Of 1928 against European in
reference in American affairs
was discounted by the Soviet
Premier as he repeated his
warning that the Soviet Union
will defend Cuba If the United
States attacks that Caribbean
nation.
Asked at a news conference
whether his support of Prime
Minister Fidel Castro'S revolu-
tionary regime amounted to an
attack on the Monroe Doctrine,
Mr.. Khrushchev said:
"The Monroe Doctrine has
outlived its usefulness. It has
died a natural death. The only
thing left to do with the Mon
roe Doctrine is to bury it, just
as you bury anything dead SO
| it will not poison the air."
Pledges Support
Mr.. Khrushchev said I'VE will
lend our support" If the time
comes when aggressive action
is taken against Cuba. The
Premier warned Saturday the
Soviet Union might rain rock
cts on the Unittd States if it
intervened against the Castro
regime.
He scoffed at President Eli
Senhower'S statement that the
United States will not permit
the establishment of any gov
ernment in the Western Hemi-
sphere dominated by interna-
tional communism.
who gave the United States
the right to allow or disallow?"
the Premier asked. What right
has the United States to dis
pose of the destinies of any
other nation?"
Mr.. Khrushchev said the
Cuban revolution "is a revolt
against those who have been
plundering the country for
many years"
He said the revolution was
not run by Communists, that if
it had been it would have de-
veloped in a very different way.
Hits Sugar Ban
The decision Of the United
States suspending purchases of
Cuban sugar was called an "ag-
greSSlve step. Taken with
the aim Of harming the econ
omy OF Cuba and disorganizing
it. and of undermining the
political regime"
Already bartering Soviet oil
and other products for some
Cuban sugar, Mr.. KhruShchev
said the Soviet Union and its
allies will gladly trade for all
Cuba's sugar because people
all over the world like sweets"
"Our goods are no worse and
even better than those Cuba
has been getting from the
United States" he said.
Cuba Seen Losing
Cuba is losing money even
on the sugar it is shipping so
far to the Soviet Union under
a 500 million trade pact nego-
tiated last February.
The Russians are getting the
sugar at the world price Of
8 cents a pound. Cuban pro-
duction costs are figured at
about 4 cents a pound.
Cuba's deficit in sales at world
prices in the past have been
made up by a subsidy of more
than 2 cents a pound on
sugar shipped to the United
States, which obtained about
a third of its annual conSump-
ton Of 8 million tons from
Cuba.
