Senator Goldwater. Repub-
lican of Arizona, said today
Republican conservatives are
volunteering their help-a move

chances Of the Nixon-Lodge
ticket.
Senator Goldwater had fought
as too liberal the G. o. P. plat
form largely dictated by Vice
President Nixon, but he said
later he would support actively
the national ticket Of Mr..
Nixon and Ambassador Henry
Cabot Lodge.
He said today he is encour-
aged that other Republicans
who shared his views are heed
ing his pleas to get out and
work for the nominees.
There has been some fear
in the Nixon camp that party
conservatives might sit out the
campaign. But Senator Gold
water. who heads the Republi-
can Senatorial Campaign Com
mittee. said in an interview it
isn't working out that way.
conservative leaders from
all over the country have been
writing me. volunteering to do
what they can for the ticket, "
he said. The mail has been
very encouraging"
Senator Goldwater a id e d
that Mr.. Lodge is proving to be
a surprise" candidate as the
vice presidential nominee.
Il have found in travelling
about the country there is great
interest in him and support for
him." Senator Goldwater said.
I'm some ways he has become

mist movement by his vigorous
tactics of opposing the Rus

construction bills, which are
locked in the House Rules
Committee. Mr.. Halleck argued
that the bills as they stand
are not in conformity with the
Presidents recommendations
The House leader said there
is no need for housing legisla-

The House leader said that
even If the school bills were
sent to conference between
House and Senate they would
involve features Objectionable

inclusion of teachers salaries
and failure to require the
States to match Federal funds

AS to civil rights, Senate
Republican Leader Dirksen in
dicated he is inclined to be
content with the record the
Democrats made by tabling the

other Republicans may raise
the issue again.

Legion 10 Hear
Two TopRiva|s

The American Legion an
nounced today that both Vice
President Nixon and Senator
Kennedy have accepted invi-
tations to address its national
convention in Miami this fall.
Mr.. Nixon, the Republican
presidential candidate, is ten
tatively scheduled to appear
before the convention October
20. with his Democratic rival,
Senator Kennedy. speaking a
day earlier.
Martin B. McKneally, ma
tional commander of the Le-
gion, made the announcement
at a news conference at which
he noted that the veterans
group is barred by it's consti-
tuition from indorsing a presi-
dental candidate.
He said in answer to ques-
tions that he believes the mill
tary strength of the United
States is greater than that of
the Soviet Union and will not
be in jeopardy whatever the
outcome Of the presidential
race.
Il don't think there is any
question that our military
strength. no matter who is
elected. is going to remain su-
preme," Mr.. McKneally said.
He urged all Americans and
particularly all members of the
Legion and other veterans to
register and vote. He pro-
duced statistics prepared by,
United States embassies over
seas which show that a smaller
proportion of Americans vote
in major elections than do
citizens Of any NATO country.
The figures showed that while
only 60 per cent of American
voters cast ballots in 1856, the
ratio in other NATO nations
ranged as high as 81 per cent
I for the Netherlands and 81 per
cent for Luxembourg in recent
national elections.

Baruc1 Plaque
On Park Bench
Unveiled Here

Bernard M. Baruch couldn't
make it to Lafayette Park today
for the unveiling of a bronze
plaque on his favorite bench
facing the White House.
But the white-haired elder
stateSman's rich bass voice, by
way of tape recording, domi-
mated the noon-time ceremony.
The plaque, on a stone base
next to the weathered old
wooden bench, included the Boy
Scout motto BE Prepared" !"
which has been Mr.. Baruch's
personal philosophy during his
long years as adviser to seven
Presidents.
This is a motto that our
Nation might well adopt in
these dangerous times" Mr..
Baruch said on the tape re-
cording. The elder statesman,
who will be 80 Friday. was
advised by his doctors not to
attempt the trip here.
He also told the 200 Boy
Scout, Government and civic
leaders at the ceremony that
Americas greatness lies in the
fact that democracy has given
us all an opportunity to i'm
prove ourselves"
He gave the audience a three
point plan for self-improve-
ment: Get the facts, even
though the truth of the facts
may not be what you want to
know; get to know yourself
your faults, passions, and
prejudices; and try to have the
wit, if not then the discipline,
to make up to the first two
rules"
Joseph A. Brunton, jr., chief
Scout executive of the Boy
Scouts Of America; Philip L.
Gore, president Of the National
Capital Area Council, and three
Scouts unveiled the plaque. 1t

Reds to Back Lumumba
Mr.. Lumumba said his gov
ernment had not lost conf
dence in the Security Council
but "the people of the Congo
have lost confidence in the
Secretary General" The Pre-
mier insisted the Councils re-
solution Of August 9 provided
that U. N. troops could be used
to reduce the rebel govern
ment of Katanga." The re-
solution provided that the
United Nations force in the
Congo will not be a party to,
or in any way intervene in, or
be used to influence. the out
come of any internal conflict,
constitutional or otherwise"
1t appeared that the Soviet
Union would support Mr.. Lu-
mumba when the dispute comes
before the Security Council.
A Moscow broadcast early
today said the Congolese ap-
parently would have to dis
pense with U. N. services if
they were to restore order and
ensure their nations territorial
integrity.
The broadcast, beamed to
Africa, accused the U. N. of
failing to take "resolute &C
ton" in the Congo and said:
The people of the Congo
may restore order in the coun-
try with the help of Ghana,
Guinea, the U. A. R.. Morocco
and other fraternal African ma
tions who have voiced their
readiness to render assistance to
the central government of the
Congo republic at any time"
The broadcast also denounced
Katanga Premier Tshombe as
a "stooge of the Belgian mo-
nopolies."

some Senators that this test
vote would be delayed until
tomorrow.
Although Senator Kennedy
was prepared to make some rel
atively small concessions. he
appeared to be confident of de-
feating drastic amendments to
his bill. But Senators Holland
and Goldwater. Republican of
Arizona. maintained they had
a good chance to cut coverage
back sharply.
Senator Goldwater. who has
more than 80 amendments
ready for introduction, said the
Senate realistically" mus t
bring its bill closer to the House
measure. Otherwise, he said,
the legislation will get begged
down in the Senate-House con-
ference.
Time is short, he observed.
and insiStence on the Kennedy
bill would endanger chances for
enactment Of any minimum
wage legislation during this
prediction session. Senator
Goldwater opposes all minimum
wage legislation but is content
ing himself with trying to scale
down the Kennedy bill.
Senator Monroney agreed that
many Senators are worried
about the scope of the Kennedy
bill. He proposed his middle
ground approach partly to head
of more drastic amendments,
but said Senator Kennedy re-
fuses to accept the compromise.
The Kennedy bill would use
a broad legal standard to ex-
tend coverage - applying the
minimum wage to business en-
terprises affecting interstate
commerce. Opponents of the
bill contend this standard is SO
broad that it would cover essen
TALLY local businesses.
In the key area of retailing,
Senator Monroney proposes to
cover chains with five or more
outlets in two or more States,
thus retaining an orthodox
concept Of interstate commerce.
Exemptions Outlined
Both the Kennedy bill and
the Monroney amendment
would exempt retail and service
enterprises with gross annual
sales below 81 million.
The S million workers who
would be covered by the Ken
nedy bill include about 3.5 mil
lion in retailing and service
Senator Monroney's 3 million
workers include 1.6 million in
retailing and service. Senator
Holland would not extend COW
erage to the retailing and serv-
ice field.
Retailers are leading the
fight against the Kennedy bill.

East South West North
Ia 20 Dble. All Pass
Opening lead: Six Of spades.
Only a very fine player would
double with the West cards
This sort of double should show
prospects Of a trump trick,
shortness in partners suit, and
at least two defensive tricks
outside of the doubled suit.
West hoped to pick up the
value Of a part score or of q
game by his double, but he got
far more than he hoped for.
West opened the six OF
spades, which East recognized
Immediately as a singleton.
East won with the ace Of spades
but was in no hurry to give his
partner the ruff. Since East
had the ace of trumpS the ruff
couldn't run away.
East returned the nine OF
hearts, and West took the ace
and queen. West continued
with the jack Of hearts. and
East discarded a club.
Leads Trumps
South ruffed and led the king
OF diamonds, hoping to draw
trumps quickly. East won with
the ace Of diamonds and led the
deuce Of spades to give West his
ruff at last.
This called for a club return,
since East would have led q
higher spade to ask for a re-
turn in the higher side suit
(heartS). West ruffed the
deuce Of spades with the seven
OF diamonds and led a club
to the ace.
East returned a club to the
king and ruffed a third round
of clubs with the six Of dia-
mondS. Now East led a spade,
and Vests jack Of diamonds
could not be shut out.
After the defenders had fin
iShed picking South'S bones
