Another group is set to tackle
that age-old bugaboo OF air
travel-delays on the ground.
The International Air Trans
port Association, at its Copen-
hagen meeting. formed a
Ground Handling Advisory
Group to take a new look at
the problem.
IATA Director General Sir
william P. Hildreth, pointing
out that the increasing passen-
ger volume has brought serious
handling problems, said "ex-
traordinary efforts" are needed
to cut down the time a pas
senger spends between a down.

These ground handlin 6
problems are often aggravated
by surface transport delays on
congested roads, poor layout of

well as by excessive Govern

said.
The group-made up Of. IL
experts from airlines of North
America, Europe, Australia and
the Far East-will take a spe-
cial look at ways to speed pas
senger check-ins and baggage
handling. Stress on the latter
will go to the end Of the jour-

cially irritating to passengers.

Presidents Views

Asked at his press conference to
tell some of the big decisions that
Mr.. Nixon has participated in,
President Eisenhower spoke up
quickly:
mo one can make a decision
except me-if it is in the national
executive area. :" He went on
to explain that he had advisers.
such as Mr.. Nixon, but he
wouldn't bulge from his con-
ception Of the final decision
making as his alone.
A persistent reporter who
wanted to know an example of
q major idea of NiXon's that the
President had adopted, brought
forth from the President the re-
tort: If you gave me a week,
might think of one"

Never before have We expert
enced such arrogant treatment
at the hands of the enemy we
have been driving our friends to

He laid large part Of the blame
at the door Of his Republican rival.
This he based not only on the Vice
Presidents role as a member of
the Eisenhower administration but
specifically on the fact that he
has sometimes headed the Ma
tional Security Council in recent
years.

simultaneously, the Republicans
picked a 6-foot-4 creW-cut son
Of Gov. Nelson Rockefeller to lead
their most intensive drive in his
tory for both Negro and Puerto
Rican votes. Rodman Rockefeller,
who speaks Spanish, hoped to i'm
prove upon the gains made by his
party in the ranks of both nation
alitieS in the 1856 and 1858 elec-
tons. He used the argument that
lack of progress in housing, edu-
cation and civil rights was directly
attributable to lack of interest on
the part Of Democratic organiza-

the malfeasances of the Southern
wing Of the Democrats.
Practically everybody agreed

On Other Issues

AS for the actual amount of
time the Vice President has pre-
sided at the White House, some
figures were recalled which he
gave out last spring: Since Janu-
ary 1853 Nixon attended l73 meet
ings that the President had with
legislators, and presided over two;
attended 2l7 meetings of the Sc
curity Council and presided over
26; and attended 163 Cabinet
meetings, presiding over 19. The
Vice President has maintained
steadily that he has given advice
but that the decisions were made,
and properly, by the President
himself.
Issues other than foreign policy
and those directly involved in
the summer congressional session
seemed a little remote in the
tuning-up din Of the campaign.
Even so pressing a question as
farm policy had a remote ring
to it as expounded by Senator
Kenneoy in his first speech on
the subject.
The candidate enunciated, at
Des Moines, four general-very
general-principles: "A positive
policy of supply management to
raise farm prices and incomes to
parity levels" a domestic food
and nutrition program, world
wide food and fiber policy with
emphasis on a peace reserve"
and a special program to help low
income farms.
If these sound more like state
ment of the problem than solu-
tion, so did the candidates ad-
dress. It was generally agreed
that he'd have to give more de-
tails than he has given before
the farm problem can assume the
Importance it deserves in the
campaign. About all Democrats
could say was that it was con-
siderably better for vote-getting
purposes than the free-market
philosophy Of Secretary of Agri-
culture Benson. But Better than

When Fidel Castro unleashed
another bitter harangue against
the United States last week, he fell
a bit short Of the four-hour en-
durance record he established
many months ago.
His talk to a squealing throng
OF idoliZing women who jammed
the Havana workers palace re-
quired only two. hours. But then,
perhaps, Fidel should be excused.
He didn't begin declaiming until
after midnight.
Despite its brevity, this latest
effort by the bearded Cuban Pre-
mier was another display Of the
oratorical technique which is a
political phenomenon and a spec
tacle unmatched in the broadcast
ing industry.
For, more than any man in his
tory, Fioel Castro uses the radio
and television to serve his own
demagogic purposes and to bring
down the wrath of the faithful
upon any head which the leader
chooses to designate as counter
revolutionary.

Fund Of knowledge
To begin with, Castro is bril-
liant man, whose Unsuitable thirst
for knowledge led him to excel as
a student and still impels him to
master every subject he can. He
is a lawyer, student of history,
literature and military science.
He is a Lincoln scholar, an au-
thority on Lenin and Jose Marti,
the Cuban hero. While tramping
through the Sierra Maestro noun
tains to wage the revolution
against Gen. Fulgencio Batista, he
used to carry 10 or II books
