Virginia Accepts
Lodge as Poff
Declines Contest
The stars Convention Bureau

CHICAGO, July 28.-A docile
Virginia delegation today agreed
without dissent to go along with
Henry Cabot Lodge for Vice
President after its own favorite-
son choice withdrew.
The Virginians, on arrival
here for the Republican Ma
tional Convention, had adopted
a resolution supporting Repre-
sentative Poff of the 9Th con-
gressional district as a favorite-
son nominee for Vice President.
Today Mr.. Poff asked the
delegates not to place his name
in nomination. Mr.. Lodge was
selected by Vice President Nixon
as his running mate early today.
Mr.. Poff said that although
Mr.. Lodge may not have beer
his personal choice for Vice
President, he felt Mr.. Lodges
COURAGEOUS record of standing
up to the Russians in the U. N.

port of all Americans"
Evening star., 1960-07-28

he revealed to all that as the
nominee he would WELD his
power as firmly as he would
wage a campaign.
A key part of the Nixon ad-
vance planning concerned the
campaign issues that will be
stressed, and the Vice Pres
ident, it appears, came to Chi
cago with these firmly in mind.
Foreign Policy Issue
A principal one is certain to
be foreign policy. The Repub-
lican tactics will be to empha-
size and re-emphasize the coun-
try's need for someone with the
experience and the ability to
deal with Soviet Premier Khru-
Shchev.
This apparently has been Sc
lected as an issue on which the
43-year-old Democratic nomi-
nee is vulnerable. That think
ing has been clear in talk by
party leaders here. Moving
around the convention head
quarters, for example, Post
master General Summerfield
was saying it is no time ito Sc
lect hoy to do a mans job"
Mr.. NiXon's choice of the
issue of relations with Russia
as the key issue in the cam
paign made his selection of Mr.
Lodge, United States Ambas-
sador to the United Nations, as
the vice presidential candidate
a natural one.
When Mr.. Nixon came here
the two names topping his list
of vice presidential running
mates were Mr.. Lodge and Sen
ator Morton. Others. including

Candidate Sees Election
As Closest in 100 Years

has his leadership been en-
hanced or impaired by the
agreement with Gov. Nelson A.
Rockefeller of New York and
the battle it caused with the
Platform Committee? What is
Mr.. Nixon likely to use as his
major campaign issue against
his Democratic rivals?
Very much as a general and
his staff plan each military
move. the Vice President and
his aides months ago drew up
several campaign plans to cover
all eventualities they could
imagine.
There was one plan of action
if Senator Kennedy should be-
come the Democratic nominee.
calling for more attention IN
the South and less in New Eng
land. There was another to
be used in case the nominee
should turn out of be Senator
johnson. And there were others
if, by some chance, the Demo-
cratic prize should have gone
to Senator Symington of Mis-
Sourl or Adlai E. Stevenson.
One eventuality was not fore
seen. This was the possibility
of a Kennedy-JohnSon ticket.
But several weeks ago Mr..
Nixon awoke one night with
that sudden thought.
Backfire Fails
For some time he had been
confident Senator Kenne y
would win the Democratic
nomination and had said so
publicly. What he had not
counted on up to then was a
Democratic ticket wedding the
Kennedy appeal in the North
with the johnson following in
the South and Southwest.
The morning after that pos
sibility occurred to him, the
Vice President brought the
matter up at a staff meeting.
Seeking some ways of counter
ing what he felt would be a
strong Democratic ticket, he
suggested in effect: Let's start
a backfire."
A few days later, Senator
Morton of Kentucky, the Re-
publican national chairman who
has worked closely with thS
Vice President, broke into print
with a prediction that it would
be Kennedy-JohnSon ticket.
The backfire failed to block the
johnson nomination and when
the Democratic ticket turned
out as it did, Senator Morton
Evening star., 1960-07-28

modestly accepted the plaudits
that came to him as a political
seer.
In the Nixon staff there was
a quick reappraisal of the sit
uation. Jokingly one aide
asked: What about our Plans
K Cfor Kennedy and j (for
JohnsonD ? Are they out the
Window"
Another replied: "Oh. no,
we'll just combine the two"
Regional Plan
There may have been more
than jest behind the words.
During the convention this
week, I. Lee Potter of Arlington,
Va, the Vice Presidents agent
in the Southern States, ex-
pressed the same idea in terms
of practical politics.
In the South" he said,
well fight Kennedy; in the
North we'll fight johnson.
This, of course, is an over
simplification of the kind of
campaign Mr.. Nixon will wage.
1t will involve a full discussion
of issues as we'll as of person.
alitieS. The election. Mr.. Nixon
thinks. will be "the closest in
this century in America"
But he thinks he can win, he
says, because we are taking
nothing for granted. We are
not going to be over-conf1dent.
We are going to put on such a
campaign as this country has
never seen before"
Constant Travel
The campaign the Nixon
people are mapping out will be
one of almost constant travel,
covering all the so States. With
his Democratic rival preparing
to open his drive in August in
Hawaii and Alaska, the Vice
President has been revising his
own political timetable, too.
In his acceptance speech to-
night he is expected to give a
hint of what he intends to do
and reveal that he also will be
off to an early start. Tentative
plans have been made for
quick visits shortly after the
convention to Nevada, his wife
Pats native State, to his own
political grounds in Southern
California, and perhaps even
to Hawaii-all before Congress
reconvenes August 8.
Also under consideration are
some week end sortieS out of
Washington while Congress is
in session to keep the cam
paign rolling along.
AS a political tactician. Mr..
Nixon often has lectured
against starting a campaign too
early. AS recently as last March
%, in speech in Lincoln, Nebr.,
the Vice President said: I'VE
must not make the mistake of
starting our campaign too early
and having nothing left for the
home stretch. Time and

.iven only an outside chance.

given only an outside chance.
In his favor, Senator Morton
had a wide knowledge of party
affairs and workers throughout
the country, and many of the
delegates were for him. But
Mr.. Nixon turned to Mr.. Lodge
to dramatize the international
issue.
A big Lodge asset was his
we'll -televised treatment of the
Russians at the United Ma
tions. His handling of the RIB
Al incident in the last few days
reinforced this asset.
Against the Ambassador was
the loss of his Senate seat to
Senator Kennedy in Massa-
chusetts in 1852. In the Nixon
reckoning this carried little
weight. The Nixon people are
under no illusion about carry
ing Senator Kennedy's home
State and they fear it will be
hard going in other New
England States outside of New
Hampshire and Vermont.
MidweStern Support
But what tipped the odds
even more in Mr.. Lodges favor
was support that Welled up for
him from Iowa, Michigan, Ohio
and other Midwestern States
where. it had been thought. he
might be more of a liability
than an asset. But it seems
that Mr.. Lodges battles with
Soviet representatives in the
United Nations have been
followed there on TV, and the
people liked what they saw.

again a campaign peaked too
early and was lost in the last
two weeks"
Why the change of strategy?
Long Stretch Drive
One reason is the tough OPP
position Mr.. Nixon knows that
he faces from Senator Kennedy
an umrelenting campaign that
promises to be a stretch drive
all the way.
Another reason, perhaps, is
a harsh political fact that was
brought home to the Vice Pres
ident here. His strength with
the Republican rank and file,
aside from the party leaders,
may not be quite as firm as
everyone supposed it was.
This was revealed by his dra-
matte battle with the Platform
Committee to get views on
which he and Gov. Rockefeller
had agreed Incorporated in
plankS already approved.
1t was not so much that the
platform writers were opposed
to Mr.. Nixon's views. What they
resented was his secret agree
ment with Gov. Rockefeller,
which came as a shock to most
of them. In their opinion, Mr..
Nixon went too far in meeting
Gov. Rockefeller's liberal de-
mandS.
Nearly Out of Hand
When Mr.. Nixon arrived on
the scene here the situation was
nearly out of hand. The battle
centered on the civil rights
plank, but behind it all was the
Nixon-Rockefeller agreement.
The moderate rights plank
had been approved with the
help of many votes outside the
South and Mr.. Nixon's task was
to overturn the action.
Cancelling a round of visits
with delegations, the Vice
President worked through most
of the night. Singly or in
groups delegates on the Plat
form Committee were ushered
into his suite. The Vice Presi-
dent, some of them reported,
was bruSque and wasted no
time on pleasantries. To one he
is reported to have said, IF
we have to, We'll take it to the
floor, and we'll beat you" An
other questioned whether
under the rules the plank could
be reconsidered and the Vice
President, it was said, replied
simply: We'll take care of
that"
Some Delegates Irate
The next day the committee
voted, So to 43, to reconsider.
Later the Rockefeller plank, as
some of the platform writer's
were calling it, was approved,
Sc to %. Some of the members,
knowing their battle was lost,
simply did not bother to attend.
The Vice President, asserting
Evening star., 1960-07-28

to mention a few. All will
have their place in the Vice
Presidents campaign. On his
arrival here he said Il intend
to go beyond the platform in
various fields with new ideas
:" One of these will be on
the farm problem and before
the campaign is far advanced
Mr.. Nixon is expected to spell
out the. details of his own
program. perhaps going beyond
that which the Republican
platform calls for.
Rocky Road
For a nomination that came
so easily last night few men
have travelled a rocker road
than the Republican nominee.
To begin with there was the 1852
expense fund incident. Then
came the 1854 congressional
campaign and Mr.. NiXon's
slaShing attacks on Democrats
which left scars unhealed to
this day. BY 1856, he had be-
come so controversial that a
Dump Nixon" movement was
announced by Harold E. Stas-
sen from the White House
steps, and there were the crises
in connection with President
Ejsenhower's illnesses.
Mr.. Nixon rode through them
all. He found time to take on
many presidential chores and
in six trips abroad visited more
than 40 countries. All the
while he was building up his
following in the party. Until
Gov. Rockefeller appeared on
the scene there was hardly a
challenger. And even that chal-
lenge wilted in December before
the chilly disfavor of Republican
leaders throughout the country.
So the Vice President came
last night to the last step be-
fore entering the White House
itself. All sorts Of speculation
will be written b tween now
Evening star., 1960-07-28

his leadership, won the battle.
What it cost him is hard to
gauge. One irate delegate said
he had mot only lost stature,
he has lost our respect" An
other said anything Mr.. Nixon
says from now on will be taken
as "Rocky's views" One result
was an increased interest in
Senator Goldwater of Arizona
as the party's conservative
voice, but a boom for him for
President was never a threat.
Emotions were running high
this week, and the feelings ex-
pressed here may not be the
same in November. Most of the
delegates are ready to forget
the row. and are making a
show of unity. But if any of the
conventions angry sentiment
fingers on, Mr.. Nixon has some
work to do in the Republican
vineyards.
Nixon Claims a Plus
Most of Mr.. NiXon's close
advisers insist that the plat
form added up to a plus for
the Vice President. His agree
ment with Gov. Rockefeller,
according to their argument,
won the Governors full support
in the campaign and gave the
party an even chance or better
of carrying New York with its
Is electoral votes in November.
From the battle he never ex-
pected to wage. the Vice Pres
ident profited in another way.
At the cost of some bruised feel
ings he placed himself in con-
troll of the party even before he
received the nomination. And

WHO CAN DO IT?

Over a half century ago
in 1908 the Burr-Wood Fun
eral Home inaugurated Ge-
auga County'S first regular
ambulance service. Such SER
vice had been provided be-
fore that time on an irregu-
lar basis.
Because of the limitations
of the day, in contrast to the
modern convenienceS of 1860,
the service provided t h e n
was a far cry from the speed
and efficiency offered by the
Burr Ambulance service now
The first ambulance was a
horse drawn wagon W t h
side curtains. In winter the
wheels could be removed and
replaced with runners for
speed through the snow.
Today'S ambulance u S e
snow tires in place of t h
runners, and usually t k e S
less than 45 minutes for a
run to a hospital on Cleve-
lands east side. In t n
"good old days" such a run
was a full days trip.
Equipped with radio COM
munication, the ambulance
driver today is in constant
contract with the world out
side his vehicle, since all ra-
dio messages can be relayed
by telephone through t h e
Sheriff'S department.
The ambulance is equipped
with oxygen for emergency
use, aspirating equipment
and many other up to date
first aid items needed in life
saving.
In 1910. when Fleet Smith
entered into partnership with
Henry Burr in the funeral
furniture enterprise, the am
bulance service was given
added impetus by his inter-
est.

in 1927, his son Hal continu-

ciaD Some 125 workers began

protection of assets is un-
matched by any other metal"
said DR.. Pick.
Why has gold a special posi-
ton? Because it has unique
virtues that make it ideal as a
monetary metal. 1t is durable.
1t is of uniform quality. It is
soft. stable, highly malleable.
1t is scarce, but not too scarce.
The free worlds annual pro-
duction of gold is figured at
around $l.l billion and DR..
Pick estimates the Soviet bloc's
annual output at around s70O
million. No other metal has the
characteristics gold has to
make it a permanent medium
Of exchange.
Why the Respect?
Why do people everywhere
have so deep and lasting a re-
spect for the metal? Because.
The depressing record of the
destinieS of paper currencies
fosters deep belief in some
thing which can't be devalued
at a governments whim," DR..
Pick emphasizes. Throughout
all the centuries COLDS value
has persistently risen, and it
has provided a protection
against the repeated destruc-
tions Of paper currencieS.
And why does Communist
Russia save gold as avidly as
any capitalist nation? Because
Russia wants to make the ruble
strong and respectable, and a
broad gold basis will help
achieve this. Russia's gold
hoard today is calculated around
81 to SO billion-with no claims
against it-and she is mining
more as fast as she can. Our
