how they will go about tearing
down the Kennedy image. Ger
tainly no one in his right senses
will repeat the comments of Gov.
Wesley Powell that Kennedy is
'ssoft on communism Nor is
there likely to be much mileage
in the argument used by James
r.. Hoffa that Kennedy is ANTI
labor.
Kennedy's failure to take an
active part in opposing the late
Sen. Joe Mccarthy will undoubt-
edly be exploited by his liberal
opponents. 1t is regrettable that
the exigencies of politics have
prevented Kennedy ever from
giving fortnight explanation
of his seeming Indifference to
Mccarthy. What he should have
said - and almost everybody
knows - is that anyone from
Massachusetts, who spoke out
against the ''hero" of the Boston
Irish would have committed po-
litical suicide

would have been understood and
overlooked, if not forgiven.

None of these possible points OF

ents will have to come up with
something much better, if they
want to knock him out of the
race.

'NO-HITTER' ON,
PRESIDENT SHY
OF OLDEST TAG

President Eisenhower
, doesn't enjoy being re-
minded that on october 4
he will become the Oldest
man ever to serve as Presi-
dent.
He made that clear at a
news conference today
when he was asked If he
had any health hints for
other oldsters.
II believe there is a ira
dition in baseball" the
President said with a smile.
"that when a pitcher has a
no-hitter going, no one
reminds him."
He added that he sees
mo particular virtue" in
a man being the eldest
President ever to serve.
Mr.. Eisenhower will be
70 years old october IA.
He will pass the age record
in Office 10 days before
that.

BY CECIL HOLLAND
Star Stan Writer

President Eisenhower today
decried the use of the religious
issue in this years election and
emphatically denied that Re-
publicans are injecting the is
sue into the campaign.
He told his news conference
he hoped it would be one OF
those subjects that could be
laid on the shelf and forgotten
for the campaign.
He and Vice President Nixon,
the Republican presidential
candidate, agreed long ago that
they must not mention religion
in the campaign. Mr.. Nixon's
Democratic opponent, Senator
Kennedy of Massachusetts,, is
a Roman Catholic.
The matter came up at the
news conference when a re-
porter said that this week
"a prominent American" had
charged the Republicans were
bringing in the issue in a back
door fashion.
Denies G. 0. P. Link
Emphatically rejecting this
Mr.. Eisenhower said no Repub-
lican had come to him and
suggested he would use the is
sue. He added that he does not
believe any group of leaders
has been more emphatic in this
regard than the Republican
leaders.
The questioner did not iden-
tify the prominent American
but in a Labor Day speech ir
Marion, Ind, former President
Truman said of Mr.. Nixon:
while he stands at the front
door proclaiming charity and
tolerance, his supporters are
herding the forces of racial, re-
ligious and anti-union bigotry
in by the way of the back door
And no one will ever make me
believe he is not smart enough
to know what is going on"
Feels No Prejudice
In reply Mr.. Eisenhower saio
he had made his position clear
on the matter in the past. He
added that he not only does not
believe in voicing prejudices
but feels none himself.
He went on to say he could
assure every one that Mr.. Nixon
feels the same way.

Robbery Suspect
Caught in Chase,
Other Escapes

One shot was fired early
today by a ninth precinct po-
liceman as he chased and cap
tured a robbery suspect, but
the prisoners companion got
away.
Pvt. Herbert L. Smith said
he was losing the race with
the quarry over fences and
through alleys near Twelfth
and H streets NE. when he
pulled out his revolver and
fired once. That stopped the
chase. Pvt. Smith said he
found his man trying to hide
in the rear of the 1900 block
of Linden street NE.
He arrested Alfred w.
Barnes, %, of the 200 block
of H street NE, and charged
him with robbery.
The pursuit began when Pvt.
Smith and Pvt. Thomas B.
Dennis saw a cab driver in dis
tress at Thirteenth and H
streets NE. The hacker, Frank
E. Williams, A, of 512 Newton
place NV, said two men had
Just robbed him of his wallet
and change carrier. The two
policemen got into the cab and
soon spotted the two suspects
a block away, they said.
Pvt. Smith chased Barnes
and Pvt. Dennis took after the
other man. Pvt. Dennis lost
his race.

DOVER. Della. (AP).-When
Mrs. Jane X. Conrad was
charged with driving 40 miles
an hour in a 25-m.p.h. zone,
she decided to fight it.
Acting as her own attorney
in Common Pleas Court, she in
sisted that her 20-horsepower
foreign car was too small to be
clocked by a radar beam, and
THAT the machine had picked
up a full-sized car behind her,
instead.
Judge Ernest ". Keith was

Religion in Campaign
Decried by President,

/ President, who is a Quaker, has
said religion should not be an
issue in the campaign, and he
would not discuss 1t.
Mr.. Eisenhower, responding
/ to the question, noted that any
need for commenting on the
issue exacerbates rather than
ouiets it.
On other political matters the
President took a dig at the
Democratic controlled Congress
! for failing to act on many parts
of his legislative program dur
ing the August session. He said
he thought its record had caused
disappointment and dismsy to
the people of the United States.
With a little give and take,
he added, there could have been
action on the minimum wage
bill. legislation providing for
schoolroom construction and
other things.
AS for some Democratic
charges that he was responsible
for no more being accomplished,
the President said this other
party is making him responsible
for splitting theirs. He pointed
out that the Democrats control
Congress by 2 to /.
AS for the responsibility of a
coalition of Southern Democrats
and conservative Republicans in
the Congress, Mr.. Eisenhower,
answering another question,
said:
This contest (the election)
that everyone is interested in is
a contest between Democrats
and Republicans. Tha t, he
added, is where he would leave
the Congress.

CONTROL OF CHEMICALS

The Supreme Courts refusal to look into
the legality of government DDT spraying
program may have widespread repercus-
sions. The whole broad question of how the
use of powerful insecticides affects the pub
lie interest is involved. 1t can be persuasive
ly argued that the Supreme Court would
have been better advised to take up the mat
ter instead of refusing to review an appeals
court decision.
Such an argument was advanced, indeed,
by a member of the court. Justice William
o. Douglas said in six-page dissent that
"the alarms that many experts and respOn-
sible officials have raised about the perils of
DDT underline the public Importance of this
case" Justice Douglas also said he believed
'that the questions rendered are extremely
significant and justify review by this court. !"
The case at issue concerned Department
of Agriculture spraying program designed
to eradicate the gypsy moth in East coast
areas. Opponents of such spraying contend
that it Injuries and in some cases even kills
wild life, and contaminateS milk and vege-
tables. They also hint that DDT may be a
factor in human blood diseases. i
The effects of chemical insect and weed
controls on animal and plant life are not yet
fully understood. New chemicals are being
developed. There is every reason to suppose
that chemicals of various kinds will be used
increasingly. These considerations suggest
that the broad matter of control should be
gone into much more thoroughly than has yet
been the case.

LATEST ON U-2 FLIGHTS

The latest information, which has devel-
Oped only in recent days, on the U-2 flights
which have been flown by the United States
seems to prove that Nikita Khrushchev may
be hard pressed in his fight for survival in
Russia.
There is no positive conclusion to be
drawn on this subject, at the moment, but
Intelligence reports which have leaked out
of Russia in the wake of the Paris summit
debacle indicates that Khrushchev - for
the first time in many years-is on a ques-
tiOnable footing in his fight for survival as
the top leader of communism in Russia.
One of the facts which now make it OBJ
vious that Khrushchev's performance in
Paris was mysteriously strange is the admis-
sion by Khrushchev, in his press conference
in Paris. that he knew about these U-2 flights
long ago. This, coupled with Intelligence re-
ports that these flights had been going on
since 1856, prove that the destruction of one
U-2 was not the specific incident which so
angered Khrushchev.
Rather, it was used, in a propaganda way,
to incite the Russian people and rally them
against the United States. Why was this
needed? Obviously, the Russians did not
want President Eisenhower to come to Rus
sia at this time.
Intelligence reports indicate that Eisen-
hover might have found an unusually re-
ceptive Russian people, had he appeared free
ly on teleyision and radio. Moreover, there
are reports of discomfort in Russia, and there
are those who think that Khrushchey'S lib
arlism is dangerous and weakening the
communist world.
Another indication of the probable deli
cacy of Khrushchev's personal position in
Moscow is found in a close analysis of his
constant companion in Paris. At his side,
through every minute of the time he was ap-
pearing outside his own residence in Paris,
was the burly Defense Minister, Marshal Ro-
dion Malinovsky.
1t is now established that Khrushchev
met with the full Presidum in Moscow all day
the very day before he left Moscow for Paris
1t is also revealed that it was only after that
meeting that President Charles deGaulle of
France, was informed that MalinOvsky, too
would come to Paris.
This information, and the somewhat sur
prising revelation that the U-2 shot down on
May 1st was not the first one which had been
attacked by the Russians, has made it OBJ
viouS that the U-2 incident of May 1St was
not the real reason for Khrushchev's behav-
ior in Paris.
The U-2's which have been flying over
Russia since 1856 have sometimes cruiSed
as high as $4,000 feet, and they have taken
pictures all over Russia. 1t is stated, semi
officially, that the one which the Russians
brought down had encountered trouble on its
own, and that it had already descended below
10000 feet when the Russians finally got it.
The thing to watch in Russia, it would
appear from Intelligence reports, is whether
Khrushchev maintains his hold on the COM
munist party and the government of Russia,
or whether the Stalinists, or the old-time
Bolshevists, gain increasing power.
