World Hopes US. and Russia Will Quit
 Clustering and Go Back to Negotiating

abroad as the prime motive.
 It was inevitable, when Soviet Premier Khrushchev adopted his policy of aggressive conformation of the United States at every point, that this country would not take it lying down.
 There will be times, however, when there will be a question whether vituperation and threat are the best answers. At such times-at all times-the free na- tions will be expecting the United States to consider them as well as herself, and they will resent any appearance that the scales of action have been tipped by Republican political needs.
 Throughout the world there is a dread of what will happen un- less the US. and Soviet Russia drop the clustering and go back to negotiating.
 Prime Minister Nehru of India has told his people it is the only alternative to war.
 The main need of the United States is not to establish her lack of fear of Soviet Russia, or even her firm confidence in her own course, except as that course rep resents one of high ethics.

NAM Calls on COP To Hold Down
 Federal Spending g

CHICAGO, R - The National Assn. of Manufacturers urged the Republican National Convention to reject proposals for new gov ernment spending programs when the services involved can be pro- Vided by local governments or by private initiative.
 Rudolph F. Bannon, president of the NAM, said unnecessary fed eral spending adds to the tax bur den and siphons off money needed for capital investment to speed the nations economic growth.
 We have not given attention to the need for new capital at home," he said in a statement before a Platform subcommittee.
 The rate of economic growth has become a major issue this el- ection year. The Soviet Unions effort to try to oVertake the United States in this field has helped make it so.
 The Chamber of Commerce of the United States expressed a similar view. It's President Arthur H. Motley. told platform writers that US. tax rates are too high and tax laws too complex. He said tax reform is needed to stimulate job-creating investment.
 In another platform hearing, Sen. Kenneth B. Heating of New York challenged Democrats to trot out their bold civil rights plank and try to get it enacted when the Democratic controlled Congress meets again next month.
 Heating contended that only the Republicans can bring an end to racial discrimination.

ASSOC1d1eQ FIeSS NeWS FAhoAX o1
 As the United States intensifies its new tactic of massive verbal retaliation against the Soviet Union, the rest of the world will shiver if it gets the idea that domestic political considerations are involved.
 There is as yet no tendency to deny the right of the United States to belly up to the Soviets at points where important stakes are involved, as in Cuba and Der lin, and even in the Congo.
 Having tried without success the British idea of seeking com- promise, the United States now expects and is getting British sup port in trading verbal slugs and posting warning notices.
 But all the world is hoping the slugging period will give way to resumed negotiations as quickly as possible, and that no doors will be slammed for good.
 Already, however, reports are being published that Vice Presi- dent Richard Nixon advocated the tough line to the President, with the implication that he needs to give the Republican administra- ton a new sense of direction fol- lowing the collapse of its peace efforts.
 However this may be, it would be dangerous to have it accepted

Youthful Oregon Gov. to Nominate Richard M. Nixon

CHICAGO, R-Vice President Richard M. Nixon picked youth ful Gov. Mark Hatfield of Oregon to place his name before next weeks COP convention as presi- dential candidate.
 In announcing this, Robert Finch, Nixon's administrative as sistant, said the choice of vice presidential running mate for Nixon is "still a wide open pro- position"
 Previously COP National Chair man Thruston B. Morton had said that if a platform is adopted that is mutually acceptable to Nixon and to Gov. Nelson Rockefeller it might possibly act as a catalytic agent to bring together a Nixon Rockefeller ticket.
 But both Morton and Finch said they are taking Rockefeller's word for it that he would not ac- cept a second place nomination. Rockefeller has said he is avail able for top place on the ticket if a draft develops but doesn't expect it to.
 Finch said, however, that Nixon is not closing the door to Rocke- feller as a possible running mate.
 The choice of Hatfield to make the Nixon nominating speech will put in the limelight a 38-year- old Republican governor who once suggested that Nixon be replaced on the 1856 ticket in favor of a vice presidential candidate more "liberar' in his views.
 Hatfield praised Rockefeller as liberal but declared his neutral ity when it seemed likely before Rockefeller quit the presidential contest last winter that the two candidates might meet in the Oregon primary.
 Secretary of the Interior Fred Seaton is among those being con- sidered for the vice presidential nomination. Sen. Barry Goldwater is also possibility. But the Nixon spokesmen said they have seen no written list of Nixon's prefer ences.
 As for himself, Morton said he doesn't want the vice presidential nomination and is not seeking it.. Nevertheless he is regarded as a leading possibility for the place.

the politicking that was carried on at
the Capitol in connection with President

quests for more Federal judges. A bill
to create 40, additional judgeShips to
relieve the deplorable congestion in
many Federal courts was kicked around
until 1t was dead-for the 1860 session
at least. With unusual frankness,
Democratic leaders have said they pre-
ferred to leave the judgeship legislation
until after new President has been
elected-meaning, of course, a Demo-
crat. They have ignored Mr.. Eisen-
hower's promise to appoint an equal
number of Democrats and Republicans.
Meanwhile, untried cases, some of ma
tional importance, continue to pile up
on the Federal docketS. Justice Is de-
layed, sometimes defeated.
1t is shameful that the judgeship
bill has been allowed to become polit-
ical football The handling of this issue
has been a diScredit to the Democratic
leadership and disservice to the cause
of equal justice under law"
