Causes Of Defeat
AS they see it, this is what
defeated Mr.. Nixon:
l. The big city machines
in New York, Chicago an6
Philadelphia which marshallec
their support for Senator
! Kennedy.
2. The Democratic political
strength exercised through the
much larger number of State
houses they control throughout
the country.
8. The powerful support Of
organized labor which for the
most part was lined up solidly
for Senator Kennedy.
4. The larger Democratic
registration and effective work
by the Kennedy organization
in expanding this.
| S. The efforts of Senator
johnson. the Vice President
elect. in working with court
house politicians" to hold most
Of the South in line.

dy could play to his party's
strength, which is greater in
numbers than the Republican

He also said that the action
Of Congress in clearing the way
for such debates by relieving
the networks of the necessity
Of providing equal time for all
candidates placed Mr.. Nixon
under a moral commitment to
go into them.
One of the big disappo!nt-
ments was in the Negro vote
with Mr.. Nixon pulling about
half of what President Eisen-
hover did. Mr.. Finch said the
Republicans did a number of
things to hold this vote "but
obviously it didn't pay off," In

WACs' Charges
Hold Soldier

A 20-year-old Fort Myer
soldier today is awaiting formal
charges for breaking into a
WAC barracks last week end.
Maj. George Higgins, provost
marshal. said the soldier was
picked up during a training
exercise at Camp A. P. Hill, Va,
on Monday after he was traced
by a description given by some
Of the WACs.
He said the suspect is accused
Of grabbing a WAC in the
barracks Mushroom. She
scratched his face and bit his
ear while calling for help.
Several other WACs helped her
chase him to his car.
Maj. Higgins said the soldiers
car was found parked near
Fort Myer with a loaded pistol
and q bloody handkerchief in it.
He said the soldier, who will
not be identified until formal
charges are made, admitted
entering the barracks after a
drinking bout but said 1t was
q mistake.

handle their own earnings. but
old restrictions remained re-
garding their property.
The 150-word bill was adopted

The bill Is expected to bring

wife, each having o half share.
The husband has the right OF
managing his wife's part and

The new system would pre-
serve the principle of equal
shares but give the wife the
right to handle what is hers.
Instead Of splitting the

the new law provides that any,
thing either party acquires

the property of the partner
acquiring it. Each partner may

the President probably has
enough authority already to
delegate power over nuclear
weapons to an American officer
commanding NATO. But the
decision now is reported to be
that in undertaking a project
of such magnitude the Presi-
dent should be assured of con-
gressional support.
There ssems to be no doubt
that although Senator Ken
nedy's views on the problem
will be sought as soon as pos
sible, he may not want to ex-
press an opinion until after he
has selected the men who will
