Kennedy and Nixon Held Gamers
BY Not Avoiding New Hampshire

thing to be borne in mind
by the convention delegates.
For If there is resentment
developed inside the Demo-
cratic Party, it could mean
a large stay-at-home vote in
November or even consider
able support for the Repub-
lican ticket as a punitive
measure.
Even more important is the
Image" of Senator Kennedy
as a presidential candidate
which the newspaper reports
of the different primary cam
paigns will be giving in the
next few months. No other
candidate will be as much in
the public eye, nor will there
be any such accumulation of
votes throughout the coun-
try. Most of the other
would-be candidates-Sena-
tors Lyndon johnson, Stuart
Symington and Adlai Steven
son-are staying out of the
primaries. Senator Hubert
Humphrey is courageously
battling in some of the pri-
maries, and his best chance
is in Wisconsin. But should
Senator Kennedy win there,
too. it does look as if there
will be no stopping the Mas
sachusetts Senator.
What Vice President Nixon
gained by the New Hampshire
primary is also being weighed
by the politicians, and it is
agreed that the old myth
created by some Democrats
about the Vice President
being the easiest to beat" is
wishful thinking. To poll
more votes than President
Eisenhower did in 1856 and
to do so without an active
campaign is a political feat
Of no minor significance.
Mr.. Nixon, moreover, was
given a good chance to en-
ploy some wise tactics. He
defended Senator Kennedy
publicly against charges
made against the latter for
allegedly being soft on COM
munism." This has the effect
Of putting a damper on those
Democrats who were getting
ready to have a field day over
Mr., Nixon,s comments about
communism in reference to

pride of England and Of
France, are now only decayed
powers in the presence Of
the heavy calibers and the
armored vessels created by
the Americans"
All Of which reminds us
that we almost certainly
reached q similar stage in
warfare when the atomic
weapon was dropped at Hiro-
shima. Our image Of war Is
such that it is difficult to
comprehend that the great
armada gathered by Gen.
Eisenhower for the invasion
Of German-held France is as
obsolete as wooden warships
after 1862.
One Of the difficulties with
the debate over our missile
program is the impossibility
Of enviSioning 1t. The Merri-
mac and Monitor and their
destructive power in combat
with wooden vessels was
plain In all its details. But
missiles are different. The
experts know, but they are
relatively few. Outside Amer
lea the peoples Of the world
are terribly concerned about
radioactive 'fall-out" from
bomb tests. But Americans,
though the evidence of it is
in the milk they and their
children drink and in the
vegetables eaten, accept the
statement there is no need
to worrv about it. In the
same confidence we are I'M
disturbed about missiles.
We have. without question,
been outdistanced in the field
Of outer space and in mis- -.
siles. though our defense
posture presently is good.
But in the anniversary month
Of the Merrimac and Monitor
one is reminded Of what
might have happened had
not the Union matched the
Merrimac. And some Of US

vessel being slow and diff
cult to handle. But my old
friend was embellishing a
story, when he told Of men
leaping on the sloping sides
Of the Merrimac, and of
their screams when they
were scalded with steam and
water. He pictured them
slowly losing hold and slip
ping of into the water. 1t
was enough to make a young
boys eyes pop. and mine did.
There is no record Of this.
The Merrimac's steam and
boiling water vents were
placed forward near the ram.
The designers had been con-
cerned that the enormous
pointed iron ram might be-
come engaged and sailors
from the other ship could
board via the ram.
The steam pipes were fixed
to cover it.
The Confederates had
hoped literally to lasso the
Monitor by throwing a chain
around her gun turret and
then towing her to the shore
for grounding and destruc-
ton. But the Monitor proved
much more maneuverable,
and easily escaped the pom
derous efforts of the Mer-
rimac to come in close
enough to employ the ram.
Several European nations
had observers in America
during the Civil War. One Of
these, a Swiss named Ferdi-
nand LIE Compile, witnessed
the battle in March, 1862.
His immediate conclusion,
reported to his government,
and later published in the
United States, was accurate.

New Hampshire Result Held FIottering
And Politically Good for Senator

is pleasant to have even a
minor doubt resolved.
New Hampshire remains a
Republican State and has
but II votes to offer on that
crucial first roll call at Los
Angeles. 1t has no Democratic
officeholders or spokesman
Of national note to speak
for Senator Kennedy. New
Hampshire Republicans add
that 10 per cent Of the
Democrats in the State share
Senator Kennedy's Catholic
religious affiliation.
Nonetheless they concede
that the Senator got a very
f1attering vote which should
be rated a personal tribute to
him.
Nor do Republicans deny
that when they turn to
their own situation as illu-
minated by the primary they
find some cause for alarm.
1t Is true that Vice Presi-
dent Nixon, like Senator
Kennedy unopposed, got a
record high vote without a
single campaign visit to the
State. But the last-minute
episode in which his cam
paign manager, Gov. Powell,
involved him in unsavory
personalities with Senator
Kennedy was doubly unfor-
tunate for Mr.. Nixon.
The Vice President had to

Curious Type of Defense Developed
In Countrys Cold Lukeworm War

is to keep endless tab on the
Arab minorities who live in
the frontier areas. This is in
telligence work of a kind that
no one really knew in the
last war. Israel's agents must
know not merely what the
other fellow is doing but
what the other fellow-the
Arab fellow here in Israel
is thinking and hoping in
this land which is both his
home and not his home.
Not in all the history of
military struggle has so
much been known by so few
-Israel's intelligence people
about so many. These
agents must be aware Of the
most intimate things about
the minority Arabs, who are
not precisely distrusted by
this government but who are
not entirely trusted.
The third line of defense is
in the civilian border police
which is not quite military
but which is uniformed. Back
of them stands the Israeli
Army.
The kibbutzim (the plural
for kibbutz) dot every Stra-
tegic frontier area of this
country. These are extraor-
binary places - and dread
fully intellectual. The women
always wear Stacks. The men
are ferociously earnest and
full Of the best and proper
modern notions. The chill
dren are kept aside in their
own small areas, and mama
may come in the evening to
kiss the little chap good
night.
These kibbutZim are like
fortresses of long ago. Every
night a few men from the
kibbutz must do sentry duty
while searchlights CLEAN and
chained watchdogs bark in
the night.

WILLIAM S. WHITE .a
Israel, Land of No Absolute Peace

AS lonely as sentinels In a
military company they stand
through the darkness. And
wherever they stand, in what,
ever number, they stand as
net losses in man-hours to
Israel'S productivity.
There are thoughtful men
here who believe that the
necessity to maintain this
pioneer watch is the most
bleeding wound in Israel's
side. Here as elsewhere in
the cold war is perhaps the
best nonsecret weapon Of
the Communist bloc. For
whatever is taken away from
Israel's potential is Of course
water lost forever.
The overhanging danger
here, in a word, is in an ex-
aggerated way the overhang-
ing danger everywhere from
Moscow. It is not massive
military attack. 1t is the
constant and wasting vigi-
lance against an enemy who
has many faces and whose
face now is bland. but per-
haps the most dangerous face
of all.

WILLIAM S. WHITE

JERUSALEM - A small
wind Of small danger and
small aggression blows for
ever across Israel.
The people live in a twi-
light zone that is not quite
danger and not quite safety.
The most basic fact here
is the constant, biting pres
sure from hostile Arab neigh
borS.
This country is like a stock
ade in the old American
West-except that the Red
skins do not come often or
in force. 1t is also like the
baronial settlement of medic
val England where men were
on watch always against the
marauding forces which came
in the night.
This is no land of terror.
But it is a land that never
has absolute peace. Men
speak here Of security" as
though it were a word like
bread and meat.
And because of their neces-
sites the Israelis have devel-
oped one of the most curious
forms of defense in all the
story Of cold-lukewarm war
fare.
Around Israel stand four
lines of defense. The first
line is made up of two kinds
of farms. One set are the
small individual plots of in
dependent farmers. The other
set are the collective farms
called kibbutzim, which are
as dreary in appearance as
they are efficient in fact. On
these places live young men
and women, apart from their
children in a kind of brave
new world which they like.
A second line Of defense is
made up of intelligence
agents who have the most
difficult job in all the world
in their trade. What they do

disavow Gov. Powell and did
so promptly. But the Cover
nor, in defending his own
position, intimated that he
could remember when Mr..
Nixon belonged to the Powell
club on this issue. Mr.. Nixon
was, Gov. Powell implied,
one Of those traitors to his
class.
Nothing could be more vex-
ing to Mr.. Nixon now than a
revival of such memories.
But he is stuck with Gov.
Powell because he is both
Governor and an ally of the
States senior Senator, Styles
Bridges, who, incidentally,
managed to keep out of quot
ing range during the fracaS.
Mr.. Nixon hasn't much
hope that the Democrats will
swallow the new Nixon, but
from his point Of view, Gov.
Powell was firing on his own
troops.
The extent to which the
Kennedy vote in New Hamp-
shire represents an invasion
of normally Republican ter
ritory must await detailed
analysis Of the primary vote.
One State expert believes
such analysis will show that
young people in strategically
scattered areas did move over
to the young Senator; the
size Of the Kennedy vote
proves it to him. He doubts
that the Powell leadership
can get them back any time
soon.

DAVID LAWRENCE

Some of the politicians
may scott at presidential
primaries and pooh-pooh
them. but somehow both Sen
ator Kennedy and Vice Presi-
dent Nixon are better of
from a publicity standpoint
than they would have been If
they hadn't entered the New
Hampshire primaries.
For a Sizeable segment of
the electorate - not a mere
handful, such as are can
vassed in public opinion polls
= actually expressed them
selves by their votes. Vice
President Nixon polled more
votes than did President Ell
senhower in the New Hamp-
shire primary four years ago.
Senator Kennedy got a larger
vote than the two Democratic
aspirants together did in
1856.
The publicity given by the
Neg Hampshire primaries to
the two candidates - Nixon
and Kennedy - was priceless.
Mr.. Nixon didn't campaign
personally. so his big vote
is especially impressive. Mr..
Kennedy did campaign per-
sonally. and piled up a vote
far larger than that of any
other Democratic aspirant to
the presidency in the New
Hampshire primaries of past
years.
Democratic leaders through
out the country are examin-
ing the results. They see
Senator Kennedy as a good
vote getter. They see Mr..
Nixon as a man who can't
be written off as readily to-
day as was attempted a few
months ago.
Some important conclu-
sions can be drawn from the
New Hampshire primaries.
II, in State after State, Sem
ator Kennedy wins the presi-
dental primaries. will the
Democratic National Conven-
ton dare to sidetrack him?
II 1t does. the cry will be
raised that only because Of
his religion is he being bar
red. This viewpoint, indeed,

pressed several months ago

As q boy in East Tennes-
see I was used to having vet
Grams Of both the Union and

full supply as sources Of war
stories. But old man Billy
Bean was the only one who
claimed to have been in the
Navy. He pictured himself
as having served on the Mer-

did. It was not important, and

Balleniine Says Farmers Now
lose Millions In S. Benefits

Agriculture Commissioner L
Y. Ballentine says North Caro-
lima may be losing millions OF
dollars annually because farm
ers do not take the necessary
steps to qualify for social secur-
ity benefits.
He also pointed out that farm
ers who reached the age of IS
during the first half of 1885
AuSt qualify before April is
1860, if they are to become ELI
gible now. This is the deadline
for going back as far as 1856
to pay up the premiums, and the
l'59 retiree must have at leas,
four years coverage to begin re-
ceiving payments.
This deadline is also import
ant to the young farmer who
wants to get coverage as far
DICK as possible to insure the
eligibility Of his wife and chill
dren for monthly payments in
the event of his death, the Com
missioner said.
The Social Security Admins
tration believes that many peo-
pie could qualify for old-age
benefits if they will do two
things before April Is. 1860:
l.Get together the records OF
farm income and expenses fol
zach year 1856 through 1869
File a Schedule "F" (record OF
farm sales and expenses) and
amended Income Tax return
with the Internal Revenue Ser
vice for each of these years in
which the net profit has $500 OF
more and keep a duplicate copy
of each return.
2. Get in touch with the near
est Social Security District Of
ce in their part of the state.
II the self-employed farmer
who is now IS or over COM
pletes the first step, he will
probably have worked" under
social security long enough to
qualify for monthly old-age in
surance benefits.
All social security benefits
are based on the average a.
mount Of money earned each
,lear. Some examples of the
farmers average net income for
several years and the monthly
payments they entitle him to
are: 5000, S33; $1,000, $50; ST.
800, s73; $4,000, ss4; $4,000, SOS;
and $4,000, $116.
II the farmers wife is also old
enough, she may receive q ben
eft, equal in some cases to one
half Of her husbands, in addi-
ton to the amount to which her
fshsband is entitled.
Ballentine urged farmers to
inform themselves about social
security and the important part
IT plays in their lives.
ASK the Social Security Dis
trict Office nearest your home
for booklet No. Esd, How Does
Social Security Affect Farm
Families?", He advised.
