As the delegates headed
home they were encouraged by
the high degree of party unity
their leaders achieved during
the past week. s-l
Proclaims Unity
They had seen Gov. Nelson
Rockefeller of New York take
the podium last night to pro-
claim this unity and to predict
victory in November for Mr..
Nixon. even though he had
come to Chicago with an un-
committed New York delega-
tion.
They had also heard Sena-
tor Barry Goldwater OF Ari-
zona, leader of the most con-
servative element in the party,
promise his all-out support to
the ticket.
And they were counting,
especially, on the great popu-
larity Of President Eisenhower,
who sent the two nominees a
heart warming message in
which. he expressed confidence
they would attract the support
of a large majority" of in
dependent voters and a great
many discerning Democrats" to
the Republican cause.
Although the delegates are
hurrying home. Mr.. Nixon is
remaining here for a confer
ence with party leaders Monday
on the farm problem, bearing
out his announcement to the
convention last night that the
campaign is already under way,
and will continue without letup
until November 8.

chant, I'VE Want Nixon"
The Vice President recalled
that it was 100 years ago in
Chicago that Abraham Lincoln
was nominated and said the
problems facing the next Pres
ident will be greater than those
confronting Lincoln.
THE question then" he con-
tinued, was freedom for the
slaves Of the Nation. The ques-
ton now is freedom for all
mankind and the survival of
civilization and the choice you
make next November can
affect the answer to that ques-
ton"
Mr.. Nixon was interrupted
frequently by applause. One of
his biggest hands came when
he challenged Soviet Premier
Khrushchev's boast that our
grandchildren will live under
communism.
Let us say to him his grand
children will live in freedom, "
Mr.. Nixon urged.
Won't Be Pushed Around
Alluding to Berlin, Cuba and
Russian threats generally, Mr..
Nixon declared:
America will not tolerate
being pushed around by any
body"
Mr.. Khrushchev, he said, says
THE Monroe Doctrine is dead
Let us say the doctrine of free
dom lives everywhere"
Mr.. Nixon indicated that in
the campaign he would be un-
sparing Of his opponent, Sena-
tor Kennedy, and the liberal
program adopted by the Demo-
cratic Party at its Los Angeles
convention.

of "a rash and impulsive state

The Vice President, getting
into the swing Of the campaign,
scheduled a meeting with farm
leaders here tomorrow. He re-
turns to Washington Saturday
night.
Strategy Conferences
He will spend Sunday and
Monday in Washington and on
Monday he and his staff and
Mr.. Lodge and his staff will
confer all day, the Vice Presi-
dent said, on campaign plans
and strategy.
The farm conference here
was moved from Monday. Par
ticipating in the all-day meet
ing with the Vice President will
be members Of the House and
Senate from farm States, a
number of Governors and dele
gates to the Republican con-
vention who are farmers.
Mr.. Nixon described it as
primarily a listening session. ."
He said he was planning a ma
jor speech to spell out his spe-
cific farm proposals early in
the campaign.
The Vice President, asked if
he had any plans for a rest

He told another questioner
that the Republicans were

campaign because of the
greater number of Democratic
registrations in the country
But he was quick to add, II be-
lieve We will win"
Sees Advantage
Mr.. Nixon said there was
some advantage in starting be-
hind because there is no pos
sibility of over-confidence-nc
possibility of the spirit of 194a
in this campaign"
He referred to the Truman
victory over former Gov
Thomas E. Dewey of New York
in a campaign in which Re-
publican over-confldence was
considered a major factor in
the Dewey defeat.
Mr.. Nixon sounded the theme
Of his drive for the White House
as he stood before a cheering
throng to formally accept the
nomination at the Republican
conventions closing session last

He called it "the Creates

over a 14,000-mile system from
coast to coast; from Vancouver
to San Diego and from Cali

With $4,000 employees it op-

piSton-engine aircraft, ranging
from 26 DC-8s and Boeing 720s
to DC-6s. The line showed a
profit of $13 million last year.
United has jet orders totaling
over $400 million - additional
Boeing 720s and smaller jet
Caravelles.
Comments made during the
press conference by the heads
of the two companies had some
ominous overtones.
In one, Mr.. Patterson agreed
that more airline mergers may
be expected, but he named no
names.
Mr.. Neelands, explaining
what brought Capital to its
economic knees, said the pres
ent financial climate" in the in
dustry made re-f1nancing i'm
possible. leaving merger as the
only out.
Capital had approached
United shortly after the Wick
ers payment was demanded,
but, as Mr.. Patterson put it, no
one had a program "of any
kind for us to consider" When
Mr.. Neelands came on the
scene. he produced a program
and negotiations were opened
about five weeks ago.
Capitals board went into a
long session at the Marriott
Motor Hotel near National Air
port yesterday with principal
stockholders George Ham of
Pittsburgh and Charles Murchi-
son of Washington, registering
what Mr.. Neelands called "en-
thusiaStic approval"
The official delegation visited
the Civil Aeronautics Board
and informed them of the
agreement "as a matter of
courtesy: then hurriedly called
a press conference for 4 pm,
at the Statler-H Hilton.
Mr.. Patterson was blunt
enough in counting the advan-
tages United hopes to gain by
the transaction. Take the $109
million-a-year business that
Capital does, put it into United
and If we can't make a profit
we have no place in the busi-
ness" He estimated it would
increase United's business by
SO per cent, but expressed little
interest as to whether it would
make the airline the largest.
American Airlines is now re-
garded as the largest.
The merger also would elimi-
nate some duplication of routes.
Strange Beginning
The meeting was not without
its humor. Dwelling briefly on
United's history. Mr.. Patterson
pointed out that the airline's
first run was between Pasco,
Wash, and Elko, New.
If you've ever been to either
Of those places you wonder
why there ever was an airline
in the first place. It made
81 $50 in its first year"
Adding his jest to the an
swers, Mr.. Neelands replied that
he was stepping out - not
down, I hope"
He will remain as head of the
airline until the merger is COM
pleted, he said today.
Referring several times to
the human" question, Mr..
Patterson could give no an
swers on Capital personnel,
other than the indication that
the maintenance base would
remain here.
He said the time required
for CAB approval of the merg-
er will "give us an opportunity
to move in and visit to deter
mine what's being done" and
appraise the situation.
But there was optimism in a
remark as the meeting broke
up. Someone said "at least
those people at Capital will
sleep better tonight"

grandfather. the late Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge and Sena-
tor Kennedy's grandfather, the
then Boston Mayor John
(Honey Fitz) Fitzgerald. The
Lodge grandfather defeated the
Kennedy grandfather on that
occasion.
The nominating speech by
the convention keynoter, Rep
resentative Judd of Minnesota,
and seconding speeches by
others centered mainly on Mr..
Lodges efficiency, ability to
organize and patient but con-
sistent firmness and strength
in refuting Soviet distortions
and countering their tactics in
the u. N.
/ The accolade bestowed on
him later in Mr.. Nixon's ac-
ceptance speech described him
as "a world statesman of the
first order" But Mr.. Nixon
went even further and pointed
to a vigorous partnership in
bringing the Republican mes
sage to the voters.
I'm contrast to what the
Democrats did in Los Angeles
two weeks ago." Mr.. Nixon said
you have nominated a man
for Vice President who shares
my views and will work with
me and not against me in car
rying out our pledges"
Mr.. Lodge held that his party
was best equipped from the
standpoint Of platform propos-
ais and a presidential nominee
to make the United States a
still better place in which to
live and work. He said the
G. o. P. is best able to helr

In the Indiana delegation,
Senator Capehart, an early
Rockefeller man, was asked
how the Ambassador to the

equates internationalism with

tor Goldwater for Vice Presi-
dent. I'VE feel the demonstra-
ton last night was enough. We
feel anything else would be

The only dissent registered
by the docile ranks was when
they obviously differed with
the management's thought that
Gov. Rockefeller had a right
to speak to the faithful.
When the Governor was
ushered onto the stage to eat
the humble pie that is the lot
