He handed his little mega

Napoleon had given a standard
to a conscientious objector il
could not have been a more
disastrous choice.
The lads voice had not even
begun to change. "Goldwater
people, stay back" he piped in
a pure soprano.
At the height of the clamor,
a barrel-shaped cowboy with a
Western hat that sheltered him
like an umbrella roared onto
the scene. He had a mammoth
megaphone, and he beloved,

Stock market prices pushed
higher today following the cut
in margin requirements.
Key issues showed gains of

Buying was touched off by

CHICAGO, July 28.-Richard
M. Nixon, the unanimous choice
of the Republicans for Presi-
dent, announced early today
he will ask the convention to
name Henry Cabot Lodge of
Massachusetts as his running
mate.
Within an hour after he had
won first place on the ticket,
Mr., Nixon called a conference
of IS party leaders and close
advisers in the Sheraton Black
stone Hotel to consider a list
of prospects for the vice presi-
Dental nomination.
1t was 3:2O am. (Washing-
ton time) when the new lead
er OF the G. o. P. told a wait
ing group of reporters he had
decided on the American Am
basSador to the United Nations.
His announcement came as no
surprise, since it was learned
days ago that Mr.. Lodge was
the Vice Presidents first choice.
A united party shouted its
approval of Mr.. Nixon to carry
its banner against the 43-year-
old Democratic nominee, SEN
ator John F. Kennedy of Mas
sachusetts, in what many be-
lieve will be the hardest-fought
election of this century.
GOldwater Gets 10
On the roll call Of the States
the vote was 1921 for Mr..
Nixon and 10 for Senator Gold
water, although the Arizona
champion of the conservatives
had withdrawn his candidacy
before the balloting started.
Ten of the 26 Louisiana dele
gates insisted on voting for
senator Goldwater, but at the
end Of the call Arizona moved
that the selection of Mr.. Nixon
be made unanimous, and it
was.
Mr.. Nixon said that after
the meeting of party leaders
in his suite, "in which all par

decision, which I shall recon-
mend to the convention: That

There were two versions of
what took place.
Foreign Ministry sources said
a Turkish border guard OBJ

the frontier and ordered them
to halt. When they did not,
he opened fire. The Russians
fired back, more Turkish troops
came up, and rifle fire con-

Then both the Soviet and
Turkish troops withdrew.

strayed across the frontier.
The Turk cried out, his COM
panions rushed to the scene,
and the exchange of fire en-
sued.
The Interior Ministry said it
did not know the fate of the
soldier the Russians repeatedly
tried to arrest but that further
information was expected.
Last Incident in 1859
The last Soviet Turkish bor-
der incident reported was in
August, 1859. One Turk was
killed and another wounded by
Soviet gunfire as they strayed
about so yards into Soviet ter
ritory while cutting grass in
the Posof district in the north
east corner of Turkey.
The Soviet Union announced
in February, 1859, that it had
captured four American-trained
Turkish spies and killed an
other when they tried to cross
the frontier at night. The Rus
slams claimed the men were
recruits of the Turkish intelli-
gence services trained in an
Ankara suburb by American
