Senator Called Intense Young Man
And Rore in His Conviction

He does not wait. He drives
on, his right hand chopping
the air. Before the applause Is
done he is well into his next
point.
Quite oblivious to thousands
before him, cheering and
beating their hands together.
his mind runs fast. It is too
swift to be other than hon.
est. He does not calculate.
He does not have time for
deviousness. He allows himself
no time to consider the ef-
feet Of what he answers. He
knows what he thinks and be-
lieves. He may be in error.
But he does not stop to con-
slider the effect Of 1t. The
gentle reader will pardon a
personal reference. I have

candidates since Franklin
Roosevelt's second term. They

This sort Of campaign Is
hard on those who like Mr..

that this Nations prestige is
not as high as before. They are
aware Mr.. Nixon knows that
the United States and the
West have not won q great
victory in the United Ma
tions. And the Vice President
understands that many adj
miralS and generals whose
love Of country is 1nques-

then, refuse America the

Kennedy with a spurious

The Civil AeronauticS Board
says three Of the four engine

crashed at Boston October 4
apparently were operating when
the plane went down.
CAB Chairman Whitney Gil
liland also reported the finding
Of starting feather fragments
in the engine wreckage.
In q letter to Representative
Williams, Democrat of Missis-
sippi, chairman Of the House
Transportation and Aeronautics
Subcommittee. Mr.. Gillilland
said all engine gear pieces
appeared normal and all dam
age noted appeared to be the
result Of impact forces.
Startling Feathers
Mr.. Gillilland said investiga-
tors found several feathers or
pieces Of feathers in the air
scoop and oil cooler of the No.
l and 4 engines, and identified
them as startling feathers. l.
The CAB report on the crash,
fatal to all except 10 of the 70
persons aboard, thus tended in
part to confirm and in part to
contradict the views of Federal
Aviation Administrator E. r.
Quesada, who has been attacked
and praised for his refusal to
ground the Electra following
previous crashes.
Mr.. Quesada said he believed
the plane plowed through a
flock of 10000 to 10000 star

power of its two left engines.

Political speeches and as

there is no doubt that we

we witnessed with crossed

As Ebay approaches, the
question Of whether the
United States has maintained
or lost prestige in the world
becomes an increasingly inn
/, portant issue.
Vice President Nixon insists
that our standing all over the
world is at its highest and
that the recent Communist
defeats at the United Ma
tions prove his contention.
Senator Kennedy claims
that Americas position is at
q low ebb and that the Red
intrusions in the Western
hemisphere combined with
the earlier developments in
Japan, where q Communist
mob prevented President Ell
=
senhower from visiting, as
well as the setback we suf-
fered in Laos. prove his con-
tention.
? In the past when we were
less in the international swim,
the matter of what foreign
countries thought Of us was
Of little Importance in a ma
tional election. We chose our
Presidents and members Of
Congress principally on the
basis Of how they stood on
matters-domestic and for
eign-to suit the American
electorate. What outsiders
thought Of us or our can
didates was Of no particular
interest. This was true as
late as 1852 when the vast
majority Of public opinion
abroad was roofing for Adlai
Stevenson. It is accurate to
say, however, that until that
time America was still regard
ed by our friends, neutrals
and foes as an invincible
power. The power gap" has
been narrowed now by the
strenuous efforts Of inter-
national communism to catch
up with US.
Our international prestige
has been affected in recent
years by our wavering and
unspectacular foreign policy.
We have blown up the
chronological advances Of the
Russians out of proportion.

Soviets Boost
OfDefection
ByDeserter

MOSCOW. oct. 20 (AP)-
The reported detection Of Pvt.
Bruce Frederick Davis. "a. an
American soldier in Germany.
to the Soviet Union was given
q play In Moscow papers today.
There was no comment on the
case.
The, stories were based on
10 Tass account which said Pvt.
Davis deserted from the United
States Army last August Is
and Is asking asylum in Rus
sia. The stories quoted him
as saying he felt American
leaders were not working for
peace as they should. He was
said to have been in the Army
for four years, nine months.
So far there has been no
indication that Soviet authori-
ties would put him on view
at a news conference.
United States Army officials
in Heidelberg, Germany, gave
Pvt. Davis address as Scots
dale, Ariz., and said he had
been listed AWOL from the
Sd Infantry Division since Au-
gust 10, when his car was
found on the border between
East and West Germany in
Northern Bavaria.
School authorities at Asbury
Park, N. j., said Pvt. Davis
was born in Rome. N. Y, came
there as q transfer. student
from Vallejo, Calf, and was
graduated from Asbury Park
School in 1854. He served for
a time in the Marines in 1856
and then took up electrical en-
cheering studies at Arizona
State University. Later he
switched to foreign service
studies.
His teachers at Asbury Park
remembered him as O. boy who
did not mix much. He was
a member Of the school track
team.
