PERTH. Scotland. Oct. IL
(AP)-Queen Elizabeth's badly
bruised and cut right leg, which
1t had been specialized was the
result Of nipsby the royal Corgi
dogs, was attributed later yes
terday to an adventurous deer
stalk on the Scottish moors.
The British monarch opened
a new 100000 ($44S,0O0)
bridge across the River Tay and
bystanders noted the injury. A
Buckingham Palace spokesman
at first disclairned knowledge
OF the cause, but said later:
The bruises were probably
caused by some minor. incident
while she was on her summer
holiday at Balmoral Castle
perhaps when she was out
shooting or riding"
Then a spokesman Of the
Scottish Information Office
weighed in with this: Anyone
who has been stalking deer in
the Scottish moors and high
lands for two months will be
suffering from leg injuries"
The Queen at no time showed
any signs of discomfort from
her injuries.

Tor the White House in answer
ing questions of the women
campaign workers.
He agreed with one ques-
toner that Mr.. Nixon "is better
trained for walking the tight
rope of peace than any person
available"
He said that for eight years
the Vice President has par
ticipated "in every single i'm
portant conference within this
Government"
He added that he has
Learned a great deal" on trips
to numerous foreign countries.
He recalled several special
tasks which he has entrusted
to the Vice President. and said
he as handled every one with
distinction to himself"
There's nothing like the trav-
cling Mr.. Nixon has been do
ing to foreign countries to
qualify him for the diplomatic
job Of promoting cooperation
with other nations in the search
for peace. Mr.. Eisenhower said.
In discussing civil rights, the
President said he had made
the first priority the protection
of every individual in his right
to vote. He explained that
voters can at least influence
the affairs in their communities.
Considerable progress has
been made administratively in
the civil rights field, he added.
He cited elimination of racial
discrimination in the Capital
and from the armed forces.
No Political Control
The President emphasized
that the Federal Reserve Board
is not and should not be under
any politicians control"
IF ever the time comes" he
added. that the Federal Re-
serve Board will have to adapt
its policies to some political
party or some political indi-
vidual, it is really going to be a
sad day for the United States. ="
He boaSted that his admins
tration has kept the cost of
living down to a rise of about
10 per cent over the last eight
years. while it went up about
AZ per cent in the previous
seven years.
He also said he was proud
that his administration has
gotten 250,000 people of the
Federal payrolls.
On the school issue. the Presi-
dent stressed that Federal aid
in school construction means
that when the job is done the

experience in both foreign and
domestic affairs.
He described Mr.. Nixon as
more deeply and wisely trained
for the Office for which we are
now to elect him than any man
/ can think Of"
Like Mr.. Nixon, the President
took sharp issue with campaign
charges by Senator Kennedy,
the Democratic presidential
candidate, that American pres
tige is slipping under the Re-
publican administration.
Saying he would try to con-
troll the temper that sometimes
rises within me when I hear
such remarks" Mr.. Eisenhower
said the Kennedy accusation
is, ito say the least, incorrect. /"
He declared that Americans
don't need to be "hysterical
with fright"
Indirect Digs
; The President, answering
questions from a group of 1C
G. o. P. women from through
out the country, avoided any
direct mention of Senator Ken
nedy. But in discussing the
issues he managed to make sew
eral indirect digs at the policies
advocated by the Democratic
candidate.
On civil rights, the President
stressed that he believes in
making progress and not just
preaching about a law that
mo one viii pass" Apparently
he meant to imply that Con-
gresS never would pass some of
the civil rights legislation ad-
vocated by Senator Kennedy
and the Democratic platform.
Mr.. Eisenhower also hit at
"high in the sky promises" that
wind up in greater debt for the
American people.
Arguing against reckless
spending. he said Americans
should "just keep insisting that
your elected representatives
don't spend your money until
they have got it in their
hands"
The first question asked the
President on the paid political
telecast was what he thought
about statements being made
by the opposition presidential
candidate that "the United
states Is a second-rate power
and that our prestige abroad
is lowered"
Mr.. Eisenhower recalled that
the United States has never
lost a vote in the United Ma
tions.
He said that within the last
712 years more than 100 heads
Of governments have come to
Washington to visit with him
and other high American Off
cials. He added that he. did
not believe they would have
come If they thought America
was "a second-rate country in
any way"

ident asserted, this story OF

ideal union recognition bill as
long as there are 16 postal
unions that must be recog-
nized. You can't have one
big postal service and not have
one big union"
Meanwhile, both postal and
Government employe leaders of
other unions are angered by
the plan of William c. Doherty,
president Of the National AS
sociation of Letter Carriers, to
organize all "unorganized"
classified and postal employees
under the NALC banner. After
reading of Mr.. Doherty's plans
in this column. they informally
agreed among themselves to
take whatever concerted action
is necessary to stop such an
organizing move by the letter
carriers.
