Lodge Explains
CdmpdignAin1s

BOSTON, Sept. 10 (AP).-
Henry Cabot Lodge, Republi-
can vice presidential nominee,
hopes to help Vice President
Nixon into the White House by
campaigning with proposals
for the future rather than
delving into history.
He told a news conference
yesterday he will conduct his
campaign without going deep
ly into the past of either the
Republican or De m cratic
Party.
> Mr.. Lodge said the proposals
on which he plans to campaign
include United States military
superiority and an adequate
foreign economic aid program
for ending poverty and illit-
eracy.
He set the tone of his an
nounced campaign strategy by
refusing to comment on a
statement by Senator johnson
of Texas, Democratic candi-
date for Vice President. that
the Republicans are a "spend
and spend, wait and wait, and
smile and smile party"
I'm not going to get in
volved in that type of question,
Mr.. Lodge said. I'm the cam.
paign I shall make proposals
in a general way for the fu-
ture. That will be my part ir
the campaign-how feel
can be most useful"
In answer to a question, Mr.
Lodge said the way to end 6
cold war is by winning it-but
he refused to disclose any
detailed plan for victory.
Instead, he quoted maxim
by Stonewall Jackson for win
ming wars: "Mystify, misleac
and surprise"

And, within due limits, this
is quite right" he added. But
we can resist.
THE American presidency,
however, operates within the
American constitutional sys-
tenn, and regardless of the in
cumbent, it is our common duty
and responsibility in a democ-
racy to see that it continues
this way"

Republicans. They'll breakfast
with Mr.. Nixon Monday at Bal
timore's Friendship Airport be-
fore he takes of.
Mr.. Nixon plans a quiet week
end with his family at his
Washington home. but he'll
ease back into the political
hurry -burly with an appearance
tomorrow night on MICS meet
the Press" television show. He
also will tape a CHS Political
Countdown" program for show-
ing Monday night.
Hurt Knee on Trip
The Vice President bumped
his knee on a car door at
Greensboro, N. c.. August II.
The bruise became infected
and he wound up in Walter
Reed Hospital. He was pro-
nounced fit and ready to leave
the hospital last night. and
went home. although he had
been expected to stay until
today.
Nixon aides said he may walk
with a slight limp for a time,
and this may cramp his style
of getting down among crowds
and mixing with people.
The hospital stay put some-
thing of damper on Mr..
Nixon's presidential campaign,
although he tried to Offset the
enforced vacation by issuing
various policy announcements
and a detailed discussion of his
views on the need for fostering
scientific research.
Mr.. Nixon's rival. Senator
Kennedy of Massachusetts, has
been stumping vigorously from
Alaska to Detroit and back to
California, but maintained a
policy of avoiding direct attacks
on the Vice President while he
was in the hospital.
Presumably now that Mr..
Nixon is up and about. the
wraps will be off and he can
expect some direct knocks from
Senator Kennedy.
Will Leave by Jet
Mr.. Nixon's tour will start
with a jet flight to Indianapolis,
Dallas and San Francisco. He'll
return to Washington Septem-
ber II after stops in Oregon,
Washington, Idaho, North Da-
Sota, Illinois, Missouri, New
Jersey. Virginia, Nebraska, Iowa
and Minnesota.
A major address on the prob
lem of farms surpluses is set at
Guthrie Center, Iowa, Septem-
ber 16.
Mr.. Nixon has been gradually
disassociating himself from the
administration farm policies of
Secretary Of Agriculture Ben
son. Mr.. Benson is widely un-
popular in farm areas because
of his long efforts to lower crop
price supports or do away with
them entirely.
The disassociation process
was continued yesterday by Mr..
Nixon's press secretary. Herbert

An Episcopal minister yes
terday lashed out at "bigotry"
in the religious aspects of the
presidential campaign.
The Rev. Charles D. Kean,
rector of the Church Of the
Epiphany, 1917 G street NV,
in an address before the
Churchmens Luncheon Club,
declared:
II do not believe that being a
member of the Church of Rome,
any more than being a member
of my own Episcopal Church,
should in itself either qualify or
disqualify a candidate.
II believe that the real test is
on the level of integrity, ability
and experience, and I pray that
there will be enough people of
calm and thoughtful mind to
keep most of the campaign on
this level"
Scores Factions
Scoring the bigoted factions,
the speaker said he does mot
believe the candidates them
selves should be condemned be-
cause of the fanaticism of a tiny
minority of their supporters.
"It Is not a question Of

Year Spills Over To Wet Category
With Excess Rainfall In Late Nav

When it rains, it pors, beach
and lake-minded persons have
discovered this month.
Rainfall for the month total
ing about six inches has plac-
ed May in the wet category.
Observers say it has given the
farmer all the water he wants,
and the irrigation business more
than it wants.
Through Sunday evening 6.36
inches for May had been re-
corded by E. F. Striplin, local
weather reporter. That is al
most two inches above normal
for a month that ordinarily sees
its share of rain-about four and
a half inches each year.
The largest fall for May
came or the 9th when Striplin S
guage went the limit for two
inches. Then, the end-of- the
month rains came to add to an
already soaking-Wet record. On
the 26th, a half inch fell, lbs
inches followed on the 18th, and
LAT dropped the following day.
Headed For Wet Year
In the first five months of
1860, 1884 inches of precipita-
tior were recorded here. Ac-
cording to Striplin, that repre-
sents about half of the average
fall for a whole year.
