Mr.. Alcorn, Mr.. Hall and
Senator Scott are all former

surances of both candidates
that they had participated in
one of the greatest conven-
tions in the party's history.
Not All Good
Not all of the Stately State
reports to Mr.. Nixon and his
associates carried good news
for the drive he launched last
night against Senator Kennedy
of Massachusetts,. the Demo-
cratic presidential nominee.
Midwestern leaders, many of
them disappointed because a
man from their section was
not chosen to run for Vice
President, were said to have
been more peSSimiStic about
G. o. P. chances in November
than those from some other
sections.
In Ohio and Michigan local
Republican leaders were re-
ported hopeful of beating the
Democrats. Illinois was tabled
as a touch-and-go State, as
were some others in the Mid
west.
Southern delegates got over
their first flush of anger at the
adoption of a stronger civil
civil rights plank than they
liked. They reported some re-
vived optimism about Mr. Nix
on's chances of carrying some
States in their area.
In New England, however,
the optimism was tempered by
Mr.. Nixon's own estimate that
Senator Kennedy is stronger
there than he.

Star STAFF Writer

CHICAGO, July 29.-Republi-
cans welcomed Henry Cabot
Lodge today as a promising
campaigner as well as an es-
tablished international states
man.
His speech formally agreeing
to join Presidential Nominee
Richard M. Nixon on the G. O.P.
ticket came up to expectations
by emphasizing that the "basic
contest in the world is no old
fashioned, traditional, partisan
rivalry between Republicans
and Democrats" but a life
and-death struggle between
Communists and people who
insist on being free.
But Mr.. Lodge surprised some
party leaders and political OBJ
servers by his hard-hitting
speech which ended with an
impromptu partisan punch line
that brought the delegates
shouting to their feet.
Il will give this campaign
everything 1 have" he declared,
in his speech accepting the un-
animouS nomination for Vice
President, because I believe in
Richard Nixon, I believe in our
cause and 1 believe in America. "
Little Opposition
There was little outright op-
position voiced against Mr..
Lodge when Mr.. Nixon early
yesterday informed party lead
ers that the former Massachu-
sets Senator and present
United Nations Ambassador was

Some party spokesmen for
other regions or candidates,
nevertheless, were known to
wonder whether Mr.. Lodge
would "go over" with voters as
a fighter in a rough-and- tumble
campaign.
The 58-year-old Mr.. Lodge
seemed to go a long way last
night to dispel such apprehen-
sion. He gave the impression he

the powerful United Air Lines if
the Civil Aeronautics Board
and stockholders approve.
The agreement, announced
yesterday, in all likelihood will

United President w. A. Pat
terson told a news conference.
Capital has about $500 en-
ployes in the Washington area,
over 1000 in the system.
Capitals financial problem
reached the possible solution
with a joint announcement by
Mr.. Patterson, T. D. Neelands,
jr., Capital board chairman,
and Sir Charles Dunphie, chair
man of VickerS-Armstrong Ltd,
builders of the Viscount.
1t was Capitals debt of 1898

present predicament. Five times
Vickers had granted a delay
to Capital for answering a
foreclosure suit filed April 16.
Out of organization shuff1ing
came Mr.. Neelands to find a
solution. This, to him, was a
personal victory.
Stockholders Must Act
Stakeholder ratification by
both companies has been called
for by october, but approval
of the Civil Aeronautics Board
may require months-possibly
until February. The last airline
merger was Colonial-Eastern
five years ago.
The agreement announced
yesterday would give Capital
shareholders one share of
Common stock and a five-year
warrant to purchase IL shares
of United at $40 per share for
each seven shares Of Capital
common.
Vickers, losing about SO mil
lion in the transaction, will
take back is of the Viscounts,

The agreement requires that
not less than IS per cent of
the $12 million of debentures
must be deposited for exchange
into United stock.
