The other piece of political
wisdom emerged as the Re-
publicans took note that the
Democrats had, by their plat
form, called for abolition of
all literacy tests for voting.
This would require a consti-
tutional amendment. The
Republicans, on the other
hand, pledged Legislation to
provide that the completion
of six primary grades in a
State-accredited school is
conclusive evidence of literacy
for voting purposes.
On balance, the South
could regard the Republican
civil rights proposals as some
what better for them than
the Democratic plank. AS
for the Negro leaders in the
North. they may we'll find,
as they study it, more
specific guarantees or pro-
posalS to achieve civil rights
spelled out in the Republican
than in the Democratic plat
form. Indeed, the Repub-
licanS had an advantage be-
cause they could read the
plankS of their opponents
and be guided by public
criticisms.
1t used to be that the Re
publicans held their conven-
ton first, but the procedure
was turned around this year
and the Republicans GER
tainly profited by the mis-
takes made by the other side
at Los Angeles. At least, the
Republicans are conducting
an orderly convention and
delegates have been in their
seats virtually all the time
during the sessions.

CHICAGO.-The Repub-
licans plan to offer the coun-
try a triumvirate of expert
ence to meet the crises of a
troubled world.
If Richard Nixon is elected
President and Henry Cabot
Lodge is the Vice President
they will confer and counsel
often with Dwight Eisen-
hover. Americas policies S
thus will be formulated on
the basis of experience with
all the controversies and per-
sonalities in international af-
fairs gained in eight fateful
years.
This is the meaning of
what has been urged in favor
of the combination of Messrs.
Nixon and Lodge, both of
whom have been so closely
associated with the admins
tration of President Eisen-
hover.
The way the delegates
cheered Mr.. Eisenhower and
the enthusiastic reception
given him by the people of
Chicago would seem to in
dicate that folks generally
would be glad to see Mr.. Eli
senhoWer continue to exert
his influence, through his
successor, on the side of patti
ence yet firmneSs in dealing
with the Soviet Union.
Henry Cabot Lodge is well
known to television audi
ences and in the press be-
cause of his courageous and
skillful handling of the Soviet
TRADES in the United Nations
meetings in New York. Since
the forthcoming political cam
paign will raise the issue of
experience versus inexperi-
ence in world affairs. the Re-
publican leaders were wise
to bring President Eisenhower
here and to consider so IA
vorably the selection of
Henry Cabot Lodge for the
vice-presidential nomination.

The total for Washington

riod last year, it was $3.50.
However, in its report on
metropolitan areas, the Pass
port Office itself lists no per-
centage increases, pointing out
that "familiariZation with the
names of all the adjoining
areas and communities that are
considered part of the metro
politan area was accomplished
gradually"
Listing passports by metro
politan areas is a comparatively
recent statistical practice in
the Passport Office.
Maryland's percentage in
crease was exactly the same as
that for the Districts per
cent. The increase for the
spring quarter was from 1881
to 5,040. Virginia showed a 50

There is little doubt that
the major issue in the elec-
tion will be the United States
position in international af-
fairs. Most of our present
domestic difficulties are cor
ollaries to the rise to power
of international communism.
This will spark much of the
oratory and criticism by cam
paigning politicians. Each
party will blame the other
and, up to a point, both will
be justified in their criticism.
The Republicans taking
over nearly eight year ago
did find that the foundations
of our strength had been un-
dermined by their Democrat
ic predecessors. Executive
agreements at Teheran, Yalta
and PotSdam helped the So
Wet Union gain her present
power. While we broke up our
mighty forces soon after W
day, the Russians proceeded
to strengthen and modernize
theirs. During the war We
handed the Russians most of
our military technical know
how. What we did not give
them officially, they, stole
through their vast spy net
work in this country and
Britain.
Thus they were able to
explode their first A-bomb
in l949, at a time when we
felt we could disband our
conventional forces on the
theory that we had a monop-
oily on atomic deterrent
power. This combined with
a coddling of Communists
and an anxiety to make the
USSR the equal of the
democracies which had sur

But the Republicans did
two significant things in

tainly in principle a non-

a non-violent occupation of

Foreign Affairs in the Campaign

Foster Dulles relatively few
foreign policy mistakes were
made by the Republican
administration - until Mr..
Dulles passed away.
During this period Ameri-
can international prestige
was enhanced. New coalitions
for the defense of the free
world were created. But the
most important achievement
was the enormous improve
ment in our naval and air
forces as well as in rocketry.
We still have a long way to
go before we are out of the
woods. But there has been a
solid beginning and today we
can boast an unmatched
naval power, thanks to the
determination OF the Navy's
Chief of Operations, Ad-
mlral Arleigh Burke. and a
more than fair air and missile
force. 1t is not yet what is
needed to gain military Su-
premacy. But it is a good de-
terrent.
Unfortunately, after Mr..
Dulles death our foreign
policy began to disintegrate
because the rudderleSS State
Department became almost
paralyzed. 1t is because of this
that we have suffered an un-
precedented setback in Latin
America. 1t was the short

partment and apathy of the

didates in the hot campaign

Transfer of BPR to State Public Works
 Will Have Five Million Dollar Impact

JUNEAU, LR - Another huge step in the transition from terri torial government to state govern ment is to be completed this Fri day. It's financial impact will be felt two years later.
 On Friday, the State Depart ment of Public Works will have assimilated an estimated 700 of the 85G persons who were work ing for the US. Bureau of Public Roads in Alaska when Alaska be- gan the transition from territory to state.
 The department said today that all of the employees who were with the BPR when the transi- ton period began have been in vited to become state employees.
 Some refused to join state ser vice. Some quit the BPR in nor mai turnovers before they could be hired by the state. Some took BPR jobs in other sections of the nation.
 Of the estimated 700 perman- ent BPR employees who have in- dicated a desire for state employ ment or who already have taken state jobs, some will remain on BPR jobs during the balance of the construction season before adding their names to the state employe rolls.
The Nome nugget., 1960-06-27

Even though the states pay roll is going to take an estimated 700-man jump, federal funds will absorb most of the financial wal Top for the first two years.
 The Department of Public Works estimates road mainten- ance in the state will cost about 5 million dollars for the 1861 fis- cal year, starting Friday, and about the same for the 1862 fiscal year starting July 1, 1861.
 But unobligated Bureau of Pub lie Roads balances will cover roughly 90 per cent of mainten- ance costs for the first two years under actual state operation, leav- ing Alaska with total road main tenance bill of about one million dollars for the two fiscal years.
 While the million dollar fig ure covers the entire cost of road maintenance-the major share of that money, about 75 per cent of it, goes out as wages and salaries.
 After the 1862 fiscal year fades away on June 30, 1861, the state will have to bear the full cost of road maintenance itself.
 It means, simply, that the legis- lature is going to have to dig down and come up with an extra 5 million dollars a year to keep the states roads in order.
