Air Bases of
Intruders

MOSCOW, May 80 (AP).-
Defense Minister Rodion Mali
novsky declared today he has
ordered Soviet rocket forces to
strike at the take-off base Of
any foreign plane violating
Soviet air space.
Marshal Malinovsky told a
conference of Communist labor
shock workers" that this was a
lawful decision" because the
foreign plane might be armed
with a hydrogen bomb"
Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev
and other top leaders heard
Marshal MalinovSky deliver his
hard-hitting speech, which he
described as mot a threat, but
a warning" to other countries.
1t was obviously aimed at allies
OF the United States in which
are based such American air.

down deep in Soviet territory

Could Hit ANY Plane
The Russian Defense Minis
ter said Soviet rockets could
hit a target higher than any
airplane could fly.
There is no plane with such
a high ceiling as to be un-
reachable for our rockets" he
asserted.
Marshal Malinovsky asserted
the Soviet army had every
thing needed to strike a re-
taliatory blow at a satellite
and at a leader no matter be-
hind which ocean they we're
hiding"
Apparently he was referring
to allies of the United States
and to the United States itself.
and to the Soviet Unions in
tercontinental ballistic missiles
capable of reaching the North
American continent.
Marshal Malinovsky said the
United States was by no means
a country which could do ev-
erything as it pleased. This was
now understood by some NATO,
SEATO and CENTo allies of
America, he declared.
Refers to Turkey
His reference here appeared
to be to Turkey, where the
May Day U-2 plane was based,
to PakiStan, from which the
Russians said it took of on its
flight across Russia, and to
Norway, where the Russians
said the plane was to land If il
completed its spy flight across
the Soviet Union.
The Russians in diplomatic
notes accused all three nations
of being partners of the
United States in the U-2 spy
flights, and Mr.. Khrushchev
in conversation with Pakistani
and Norwegian diplomats
warned that the Russians
would "aim our rockets at your
bases" if the United States
was allowed to continue to use
those bases for operations
against the Soviet Union.
The three countries denied
any completely in the U-2
flights and protested against
the Soviet threat.
Marshal Malinovsky declared
that not a single foreign coun-
try could accuse Russia with
a deliberate violation of its
air space.
"If we infringed foreign
frontiers unintentionally, we.
like honest people, apologized
and punished those guilty." he
said.

ptcoSuIe SclllIlS, SdlQ Tile CON-

lieve it, but their leader on the
campaign trail is a different
man.
why, he never said word
about the convention" said a
delegate after yesterday seance.
He didn't say any thing about
the nomination or candidates.
He just talked about the need
for national unity in the crisis"
Sees Delegates Restive
Senator Johnson's diffident
approach to the delegates
comes from his belief that
some delegates, particularly
here in the West, resent the
hard sell" of the forces of
front-runner Senator Kennedy
of Massachusetts.
Senator Johnson believes
that what he calls the Kennedy
"blitz" has mustered some
first-support which will not
stay put very long at Los
Angeles next July.
The people I have talked
to-" he told Pierre, S. OAK,
press conference, "are not going
to go off the deep end to get
locked and tied and COM
mitted."
He believes that some of the
Kennedy delegates now pledged
are now restive and quotes
these days a little couplet
which goes like this:
"A man convinced against his
/ will
Is of the same opinion still"
Although Senator johnson in
his current Western tour is
visiting several States where
Senator Kennedy is said to
have the majority of the dele
gates. The Texas Senator is
continuing to press his suit
with unwonted gentleness.
Liked Their First Look
| The other night at a meeting
with Idaho delegates he made,
according to eye witnesses, not
the slightest attempt to work
his will on his hosts.
The only hint he gave of his
mission was a quiet inquiry as
to where the delegates were at
the moment.
Indeed, if there were any
pressure at all, it came from
local politicians who liked their
first look at him but who
wanted to be sure he was in
the running before they pub
licly sported the LBJ brand.
| The Senator is plainly set
up by his progress through the
plains.
The only thing that disturbs
his high good humor is a re-
port that he has privately ad-

Eisenhower Popularity at Peak

hover personality has been
a great asset in maintaining
cordial relations between the
White House and Congress.
Looking back over the seven
years, many people do not
realize how difficult the
presidency really is for any
man who does not have a
majority Of his own party in
Congress. Long after the
present generation has passed
into history, the Eisenhower
tact and good nature, as we'll
as diplomacy, in dealing with
Congress will be pointed to
as an excellent example of
successful cooperation be-
tween the two branches of
Government, especially in in
ternational relations.
Mr.. Eisenhower hasn't al
ways had the best cabinet
personnel, but he has done
far more himself to exercise
leadership on national as
well as international policies
than the public generally
realizes. and this didn't begin
in the second term, either.
The President has learned
by experience, of course, and
that's why he asserts himself
far more today than when
he first took Office. He feels
now that he knows the job
and that his judgment, based
on actual experience with
some problems. is as good
as that of some of his ad-
visers. He receives a lot of
factual information and
quickly absorbs 1t, but in
retrospect it will be affirmed
by those who have an inti-
mate knowledge Of the
present administration that
President Eisenhower has al
ways been his own master.
Mr.. Eisenhower has nroved
in seven years that a man

edge of the many problems

Symington Not Noisy Enough

depravity of the Harding ad-

would manage some head
lines and more than one TV

The Democrats badly need
a few cold-eyed, keen-minded
mavericks who will take a
bulldog hold and growl. They
aren't rude enough or noisy
enough. The farm issue is
embarrassing. Senator Sym
ington probably feels he
can't do more than bug his
eyes at the profits and ex-
claim over their size.
The farm legislation which
permits all the shameful
waste there is in the surplus
commodity problem is the
creation of Democrats and
Republicans. But it is basic
ally a Democratic measure
and most of the money leaks
in it date back to the Demo-
cratic administration.

supposed to help farmers but
in fact assists only a COM

operators, will legitimately
pay a grain storer more cash

Everyone knows that every
day the taxpayers are tagged
several millions of dollars to
pay for the farm surplus. It's
insurance. storage, price
losses, and so on. But few

There was testimony from
three men in the business Of
storing surplus cereals. They
acknowledged profits ranging
up to $50 per cent Of the cost
of handling the grain. They
are paid the standard fee.
Therefore. Senator SYM

Seven years have passed
since the inauguration of
Dwight D. Eisenhower as
President of the United
States on January 20, 1858.
The polls show his popularity
to be at a very high point.
Irrespective of party, there is
a feeling of admiration for
the man, himself. 1t is not
based so much on official ac-
tions taken but on the spirit
of conciliation and good will
he has manifested in the con-
duct of national and interna-
tional policies.
PartisanS naturally will
differ on whether the EiSen-
hover administration has
been a political success, for.
after all, the Republican
Party has not been strong
enough to elect a Republican
majority in both houses of
Congress for the last six
years of the Eisenhower ad-
miniStration. But on the
broad issues close to the
hearts of the American peo-
ple-the maintenance of
peace and the handling of
the recent economic recess
sion-there is today a gen.
eral vote of confidence in the
Presidents way of steering
the ship of state.
In the absence of concrete
proof Of why an adminiStra-
tion is popular, there are
always suppositionS - some
of them Superf1cial-which
do not explain the upward
turn Of the curve of popular
ity. One of these is that Mr..
Eisenhower suddenly became
a full-fledged President when
John Foster Dulles passed
away and when Sherman
Adams resigned. This is an
ill-informed view. but it is
widely held. Actually, the
President would be the first
to say that Mr.. Dulles was
not the inflexible person he
was so often described to be.

One of the smallest Of the
States in population may well
provide the largest and most
eloquent voice at the Demo-
cratic National Convention
next July.
Senator Frank Church Of
Idaho-at 35 the youngest
man in the Senate-is being
strongly pushed for keynote
speaker and temporary chair
man of the convention.
The field of possibilities
also numbers Senator Edwin
S. Muskie of Maine and Gov.
Gaylord Nelson of WiScon-
sin. But on balance, Senator
Church seems to have much
better than a one-in-three
chance of selection.
A moderate liberal of the
casual Western variety, he is
representative of the broad
est single sector of his party.
His geography" is right. The
Democrats need to pay spe-
cial attention to the West,
the fastest growing region Of
the country and also the
fastest growing section OF the
Democratic Party.
Too, he is perhaps the most
widely respected of the young
Democrats of the Senate
for general ability. for fair
mindedness and, what is very
important here, for oratori-
cal powers. Half a generation
ago the pros considered ora
tory to be making the eagle
scream" His eagle does not
scream; it speaks, instead, in
more muted, more appealing.
modern accents.
Finally Senator Church
is not committed to any of
the Democratic presidential
aspirants. Thus he would
arouse no acute suspicion
that as keynoter he might
promote Jones over Brown
or Smith or Green.
A keynoter temporary
chairman's task is to de-
liver the conventions first

down the pattern Of party
policy for the campaign.
Once he has done this, a
permanent chairman is
chosen to preside over the

Hale BoggS of Louisiana is

The system of selecting the
keynoter is elaborately ira
ditional. Democratic National
Chairman Paul Butler will
appoint a Committee on
Arrangements" This COM
mittee will recommend" a
keynoter to the convention.
The convention will then
elect him.
All this seems a dull and
dusty business, and some
times it is just that. This
time, however, it will be a
good deal more than routine.
