The surprising switch in por-
icy on the part of local Repub-
lican leaders resulted after
some of Mr.. Nixon's associates
expressed firm opposition to
having the Vice President di-
rectly involved in the District
primary.
After considerable behind
the-scenes maneuvering, with
drawal of the petition was de-
cided upon as the most graceful
way out of what had become q
delicate and sticky situation.
Under District Board Of Elec-
tons regulations the name of 9
presidential candidate cannot
be entered on the ballot with
out his written consent.
Shipley Asked Permission
With the approval of the Dis
trict Republican Central Com
mittee, Carl L. Shipley, COM
mittee chairman, recently wrote
Mr.. Nixon and asked if he
would give this consent.
However. Mr.. Shipley con-
ceded under questioning yester-
day that he is now going to
write Mr.. Nixon and inform him
that local Republican leaders
have reversed their position on
this subject,
AS a result, there will be no
presidential preference question
on the Republican ballot.
What's behind this switch?
And does it mean anything
since Mr.. Nixon is generally
conceded to have the G. o. P.
presidential nomination sewed
UP anyway?
Seen as POintless
In the official version, Mr.
Shipley said that the decision
to ask Mr.. Nixon to disregard
the request for use of his name
was reached at a recent confer
ence among local G. o. P. leaders
and Nixon associates.
The District G. o. P. chairman
stressed that all the candidates
for delegate nominated by the
local Republican State Commit
tee are unanimous" in their
support of Mr.. Nixon.
Therefore" Mr.. Shipley con-
tinued, I'VE felt that it would
be unwise to divert interest
from the local party questions
which we are going to submit
on the ballot"
These proposed questions
would give Republicans an OPP
.portunity to vote on whether
they favor national representa-
ton for the District and a
legislative assembly to be elect
ed by local residents.
See Disadvantages
Now here's the of -the-record
story:
Advisers to the Vice Presi-
dent see little possible ad-
vantage to Mr.. Nixon in hav-
ing his name on the ballot here
and several possible disadvan-
ltages. Z
Some of the drawbacks for
seen are:
The results: of the District
presidential preference question
would be only advisory to the
delegates and would not legally
bind them.
Under Board of Elections
regulations the question would
have to be framed so as to re-
quire a yes" or mo" answer
after Mr.. Nixon's name. And
there is always a possibility an

Seed for Leading
Soybean Varieties
Plentiful in State

/ Seed for the Hill and Hood
soybeans are now plentiful in
Delaware, according to Univer-
sity of Delaware agronomist
Frank B. Springer, Jr. He said
all seed houses have them as
well as many farmers who pro-
duce certified seed.
i Farmers can get a list of GER
titled seed producers from their
county agent if they want to
get certified seed from a local
producer, Springer said.
i Hill is in the same maturity
range as Dorman and it is ex-
pected to replace Dorman. Hill
stands up much better than Dor
man and yields slightly better,
although the seed size is a little
smaller.
i The Hood bean is in the same
maturity range as Ogden but
it reaches maturity about 10
DAYS earlier. This is an impor-
: tant factor, Springer said. Ogden
is little too late in maturing
for some Delmarva seasons.
Hood also yields slightly better
and its seed quality is very
good.
Another leading variety is
| Clark. Last year II of the
} farmers who competed in the
) Delaware soybean yield contest
grew more than 40 bushels pei
acre. Of those II, 10 did the
: trick with Clark beans.
$ Clark has been a high yield
| ing variety but has been OF pool
: quality at times due to Delmar
: vas weather conditions. Witt
t this quality problem in mind {
: new variety has been developed
to replace Clark. 1t will prob
n ably be released this Fall
t Springer said.
: Varieties, of course, are no
e the only element responsible TO
: good yields. There are abou
d six factors involved in soybeal
production which contributes t.
f high production. All these ele
/ ments are essential:
: l. Use enough lime to keel

They were in sight of land at all times, they stated. They attempted to attract the attention of passing aircraft, and nearby boats, but without re- suit. At the continual mercy of wind and tide, the boat drifted close to land at one time, but drifted out again before the men could land
 A four-day search involved Coast Guard vessels Bittersweet and Storis, a Navy crash boat, CG and Navy planes, and an Alaska De- partment of Fish and Game Grum- man Goose, as we'll as commercial aircraft.

Crawford, PN2, left Kodiak September 1 in and 18 foot converted whale boat, presumably on hunting trip to nearby Afog- nak Island. They carried 10-day supply of food with them. The boat was powered with a 40 h.p motor, with a 10 h.p. outboard as spare.
 Families of the three men all reside in Kodiak. The Sparks and Crawfords live at Pratts Trailer Court and the Hoylmans at Fuller Apartments.
 In the search more than 16,010 miles of sea and shoreline had been covered by various craft. Fishing boats in the area had been alerted
