Perhaps the loudest applause
during Senator Kennedy's
speech came when he declared
he believes in IAN America that
is flrst-period."
Although he has been chided
by Mr.. Nixon, his Republican
rival for the presidency, for
downgrading America In rela-
ton to Russia, Senator Ken
nedy refrained from any direct
charge that the Eisenhower
Nixon administration has let
this country run second best.
He implied as much in his
prepared speech, however, by
declaring that only by building
up American military strength
can I'VE get Mr.. Khrushchev
and the Chinese Communists
to talk about disarmament, be-
cause having the second best

Silence Is wrong"
The Democratic candidate
went on to say:
Some people say 1t is wrong
to say we could be stronger
that it's dangerous to say we
could be more secure. But ir
times such as these, I say it is
wrong-and dangerous-for any
American to keep silent about
our future if he is not satisfied
with what is being done to pre-
serve that future.
"And I am not satisfied when
the President Of the United
States is insulted by a dictator

Senator Kennedy, for the sup
port of labor's rank and file.
The Republican administra-
ton, Mr.. Nixon said, has
provided more jobs, with
higher wages and greater
security, for wage earners than
Democratic administration.
But over and over as he
campaigned by motorcade and
plane, Mr.. Nixon insisted the
Republican ticket is best able
to maintain peace because of
what he described as "our
background and experience" "
With modesty he left it to
his hearers to pass on his own
qualifications. But at every
turn he lauded the ability of
his running mate. Henry Cabot
Lodge. former United Nations
Ambassador, to deal with the
Russians.
In the first stop after a
night at Scranton, Pa. the
Vice President was welcomed
by crowd of about $4,000 in
the vicinity of a parking lot
where he spoke in Mount Glenn
ems. Many of them were chill
dren as parochial schools dis
missed classes and the public
schools allowed pupils to at
tend with written consent Of
their parents.
Many Of the Nixon rooters
came from Saint Clair and
other surrounding Republican
counties. Some of them carried
homemade signs including one
which read: Clergy for Nix
on" One bearer of such a sign
identified herself as Mrs. Mat
tie Moulton of Port Huron, 2S
miles away. She said she is a
Christian Scientist and was
carrying the sign because it
was handed out by Republican
workers as she set out for
Mount Clemens.
Draws 1000 at Flint
In the automobile center of
Flint about 1000 heard the
Vice President. as against a
Labor Day crowd of $4,000 that

nedy.
At Saginaw he drew about
5000 and for the second time

theme. He reminded his au-
dience, as he did repeatedly in
the 1856 campaign, that Presi-
dent Eisenhower had restored
honesty, dignity and integrity

An enthusiastic crowd of

Chance To Get Together"
Asked the purpose of the
luncheon arranged by, the
President for the representa-
tives of other Latin American
governments at the U. N, Mr.
Hagerty said it obviously was
a chance for Mr.. Eisenhower
TO get together" with them
following the two recent OAS
meetings in Costa Rica and
Colombia.
The Presidents schedule now
calls for him 10 take off from
Andrews Air Force Base at 7:25
A. m. tomorrow by jet, arriving
at IdleWild Airport at $40
a. m. and at the Waldorf AS
Coria before 9 a. m. Mr.. Hagerty
said he would fly back to
Washington Friday morning in
time for a 9 a. m. cabinet
meeting.
Mr.. Hagerty told question:
erS he did not know whether
the President would meet with
any other foreign statesmen
while in New York.
The President himself has
said it is very unlikely he will
have any meeting with Soviet
Premier Khrushchev.
There has been considerable
speculation that the President
might take the opportunity
to confer with such controver-
Sial figures as President NasSer
of the United Arab Republic
and Marshal Tito of Yugo-
slavia, who are among govern
ment heads leading their dele
cations at the U. N. General
Assembly session.
But any meeting with Mr..
NasSer appeared out of the
question tomorrow since such
an event in the midst of the
Jewish New York Holy Days,
might be taken as a direct af-
front to Israel and New York's
large Jewish population.
Mr.. Eisenhower'S major ad-
dress to the assembly is expect
ed to be some time between
10 and II am, although the
White House had no definite
schedule for it today.
The President will have an
other opportunity to confer
with key world figures attend
ing the U.N. session when he
goes to New York next Monday
to address a dinner of the
National Catholic Charities. He
will be there most of the after

WONDERFUL VIEW DOWN
THE PASQUOTANK RIVER
hH VICTOR MEEKlNS

One morning not long ago,
awoke up and looked down the
Pasquotank River from my bed in
room COL. It has always been a
fascinating sight to look down this
river, although not as interesting
as 40 years ago when began liv-
ing in Elizabeth City for six year
period. They were the good old
days with both sailboats and steam
boats coming and going all the
time.
I have long taken some inward
pride in the part l played in get
ting the Virginia Dare Hotel
named, back in 1926 when it was
built. There was a good lady who
lived near the newspaper office
Mrs. Cam w. Melick who believed
in good things we'll done. It hurt
her severely because so many OF
US in going to the post office would
take off across the courthouse
green on a path diagonally started
by some thoughtless person. This
was a dissertation, in the mind Of
Mrs. Melick, and, she Indignantly re-
ferred to this route as the "patt
the calf trod." 1t being in front
of her house, it naturally made he,
the more unhappy.
The new community financet
hotel was being built. The Hocken
bury (fund-raising) System from
Pennsylvania had been brought il
some months before to conduct {
high pressure campaign, teaching
the community its civic duty, ane
this effective campaign reached
throughout the countryside ant
farmers miles away became stock
holders in this hotel. 1t was index
an ambitious undertaking for thos'
times, to build such a fine hotel
Since nothing had been done il
particular to do honor to Virgins
Dare and since Elizabeth City wa
the largest commercial center il
this great coastal region which in
cludes Roanoke Island, it occurred
to me in one of my brain-storm
that it would a fine monument t.
the first born white child in thes
United States.
Now had 1 suggested it to tn
directors of the hotel company,
might have run up against some
one who had been planning t.
name it for his daughter, or TO
the town, or some prominent citi
zen. The problem was to sell tn
idea on the public relations valu
the name Virginia Dare would CIV
the hotel, and this would mean, o
course, more business for it.
The next time l started acros
the courthouse green, I diverte'
by way of Mrs. Melick's gate ant
paused for a word of greeting
1 cautiously approached her as t.
her opinion of a name for the new
hotel. She being a patriotic lad,
as wen as one of positive opinions
and being usually agreed with be
cause she was usually right, it wa
with much satisfaction that she ap
proved that name / had in mind.
I bToached the subject to som

nence, and they concurred with
Mrs. Melick, SO that when l got
around to writing a cautious story
about this big Spontaneous move
ment" to thus honor Virginia Dare,
there was a formidable array of
names who had seemingly as one,
advanced the idea themselves. The
idea snow-balled, and the over
whelming preference for the name
the hotel now bears is a remark
able example of what properly di-
rected publicity can do.
In the days I lived in Elizabeth
City the waterfront was live and
vital thing. In farming seasons
when Hyde, and Tyrrell, Currituck,
Camden and lower Pasquotank
County farmers were shipping bar
rels and barrels of sweet potatoes
and later the waterlnelons came in,
have seen boats tied up the en-
tire length of the waterfront, and
sometimes they would be moored,
four-deep all the length of Nor
folk Southern railroad siding.
There were half a dozen boats
from Hatteras Island alone max
ing regular trips for freight and
a limited number of passengers
Some of them depended mostly on
sail. The steamer Trenton made a
daily run from Manteo; the Annie
L. Vansciver came from Lower
Currituck; there was the Virginia
the Jones and Capt. Flave Spen-
GERS boat from Fairfield, the Hat.
tie Greet and the E. r. Daniels
from Wanchese, and there WERE
other boats coming from Edentor
and Hartford, some of them or
their way to Norfolk.
Throughout the year, all the fish
sold commercially came to Eliza
beth City by boat. From Hatteras
Wanchese, Stumpy Point, Tyrrel
County, and all other places, traf
fic was heavy indeed during sprina
and fall, and special trains went ou
loaded for the markets of Balti

Those days too are gone, for the
bulk of our fish are now sold local

Many tugs and barges came W
the river, laden with logs for tkt
several big sawmills operating il

truly the center of town. Severa

which depended largely on The
patronage of merchants in tht

up their orders by tn

appeared, the result of good high
ways and huge motor trucks. Coast
al people got their lumber by boat
now it is delivered to the site BY
trucks. There have been many
changes.
But the view down the wide anc
tranquil river continues ever 6
restful one, even though boats are
few and no more masts and sails
are seen. AS on the Pasquotank
1 have always liked the view down
the PamGco River from the Louise
