Air Accidents

The chairman Of the Civil

Discussing a possible correla-
ton between drop offs in air
passengers and airplane crashes,
Whitney Gillilland said, "it is
my own view that most Amer
lean people realize that all
travel has hazards" and that
travel by air was becoming
increasingly safer.
Mr.. Gillilland was the fea-
tured speaker at an all-day
press briefing on aviation safety
held by the Daniel and Florence
Guggenheim Aviation Center at
Cornell University in the Co.'S

Although there was a / per
cent decline in air passengers in

March, this could not be ex-
planned by several air crashes.

Other factors such as bad
weather, and one less week end,
all played large roles in explain

Fund Scarcity
CurtuiIs Plans

By the Associated Press


The Democratic National
Committee says a scarcity of
campaign funds threatens a
sharp curtailment of scheduled
party campaign activities.
Lawrence F. O'Brien, direc-
tor Of organization for the
National Committee, said the
Democrats had scheduled z
hours Of prime national tele-
vision network time, but that
this has been cut to 21a hours
"and we're scraping the bottom
Of the barrel to pay for even
that much"
Mr.. O'Brien said the party
had planned to publish five
issues of a campaign newspaper
called New Frontiers to keep
party workers informed about
the Democratic presidential
candidate, Senator Kennedy.
However, he said, it was pub
lished only once and has now
been abandoned.
But Mr.. O'Brien did say the
picture sis not all bleak"
The party, he said, has re-
ceived encouraging numbers of
small contributions-$5 to $50
from working Democrats. He
said these have increased sig
nificantly since last Mondays
television debate between Sem
ator Kennedy and the Re-
publican nominee, Vice Presi-
dent Nixon.
Richly endowed Republicans
are outspending us everywhere"

Lodge Sees
Red Failure

LOS ANGELES, Oct. / (AP)
-"Khrushchev couldn't be do
ing worse" says Henry Cabot
Lodge.
The @. o: P. vice presidential
candidate told a suburban
crowd near here yesterday:
"Khrushchev didn't come to
the U. N. to make friends with
Africans or make a good i'm
preston In New York.
He came there to foment
world instability, knowing that
the u. N. is the greatest force
for world stability. And he's
having a good, rugged failure. u
Mr.. Lodge hurried from one
suburban gathering to another
yesterday, including one, at
San Fernando Valley State Col
lege, where there were as many
Kennedy placards as Nixon
Lodge signs in the crowd of
5000.

Mr.. Lodge said last night he
has "a real hope" that the

Mr.. Lodge and Senator Ken
nedy, the Democratic presiden-
tial nominee.
"Vice President Nixon had a
tremendous reception in Boston

chance in Massachusetts,"
Earlier the vice presidential
contender gave the Los Angeles
Press Club his opinion on sum-
NIT meetings:
i am not q believer in sum-
init meetings to solve any ques-
ton that is complicated or
lengthy. 1t seems to me 1t is
not an efficient way to get

In answer to a question, Mr..
Lodge said President Eisen-
hover had asked him for his
advice about the abortive sum-
init meeting. Mr.. Lodge added,
however:
"The advice a presidential
adviser gives to the President
