 Latest returns, however, have changed these figures with reports in from the Aleutian Chain Both candidates picked up votes in the Aleutian villages, but Owen forged ahead with 500 votes as against Brechan's total of 448. The Island vote for A. Holmes Johnson (R) was 96.
 Rep. Pete Deveau gathered a total of 354 votes on the Island to place him on the ballot in the general elections. Gil Jarvela, run ming for office for the first time, boiled an impressive 486 votes.

Cabot Lodge, the complete personiflca-
ton of a proper Bostonian. Neither is
accustomed to anonymity, or to being
considered merely "the other man" on
a political ticket Within the past ten

ingness and capacity for combat.
Senator Kennedy, heading the DEM
ocratic slate, also has ten days of firing
behind him-a period in which both his
age and his religion have been invoked
against him. The consensus is that he
has handled himself well. Mr.. Nixon,
immobilized for nearly fortnight with
a knee infection, has taken the time to
sharpen up on his homework. Last night
he ran through a preliminary heat on
television, in which he once again pro-
posed that the religious issue be set
aside-at some cutoff date, If not i'm

agreed with the idea. Mr. Nixon's sally

tenders during most of the two months
ahead. BY November 8, men and issues
alike should have become thoroughly

designed as guide to aid in reducing
the noise impact on haraSsed residents.
With the increased use of powerful
Jet airliners, the noise nuisance has be-
come serious matter. Public health
officials have said that the roar of air
craft can impair health by shatter-
ing nerves, causing lack of sleep and
otherwise disturbing individuals on the
ground. The impact is especially bad
in areas where the airplanes are taking
off or landing at frequent intervals.
Says the FAA: although the aircraft

troublesome areas are those which lie

advised to take similar precautions,
in the interest of public health and

the Chantilly Airport nears completion.
Meanwhile, the FAA promises to
continue research on aircraft noises and
to aid private industry in solving what

Fencinq Him In

1t is not altogether surprising that
Premier Khrushchev's travels will be
confined to Manhattan during his i'm
pending visit there as head of the
Soviet delegation to the United Nations
General Assembly. The restrictions de-
creed for him land for the puppet Red
chiefs of Hungary and Albania as welD
are the most stringent ever imposed by
our Government on an official attending
the u N, and presumably he and
his propaganda machine will inveigh
against the order as rank discrimination
and sheer spite. Nevertheless, as Ameri-
can spokeSmen have explained, security
considerations are paramount, and his
freedom of movement must be severely
limited for the sake of his own safety.
This is so because the international
climate has undergone marked change
for the worse since the Russian leader
travelled through our country last Sep
tember. Then he was an official guest
who received, generally speaking,
rather friendly welcome wherever he
went from coast to coast. And when he
returned to Moscow he left behind him
the impression that he might really be
sincere in talking about ending the
cold war and establishing genuinely
good and trustworthy peace. In the
months that have since passed, however,
especially since last May, when he tor
pedoed the Paris summit conference,
he has personally inSulted President
Eisenhower, maliciously libeled the
United States and created new tensions
in places as far removed from each
other as Berlin, the Congo and Cuba.
Further, when he appears before the
General Assembly, the chances are that
he will cut loose with propaganda
offensive calculated to stir up additional
mischief against America and the free
world at large.
Nikita Khrushchev thus is coming
to our shores as thoroughly unwelcome
visitor gallingly intent upon exploiting
his undeniable right to take part in
the u MS New York proceedings. But
he Is not entitled to travel wherever
he pleases while over here, and so he is
being fenced in accordingly. Some peo-
pie may suspect that this is in repay
ment for his anti-American abuse and
SANDERS, but the overriding fact is that
for his own good-because he has
fomented a lot of animosity against
himself-he should be restrained from
moving about hither and yon among us.
Since other controversial leaders will
be at the Assembly meeting, the security
problem will be difficult enough without
having Mr.. K. complicate it with side
trips that conceiVably could be dan
gerous for him.

THE PASSING SCENE \
Lodqe Astonishes Skeptics

stood up to the Russians" in
the U.N. but who would
hardly send the voters in Du-
buque or Denver or Dallas.
Any notion Of Henry Cabot
Lodge campaigning in a city
slum, before a factory gate
or in a midwestern cornfield
was enough to send the pros
off into sadly ironic laughter.
The assumption. in short,
was that Mr.. Nixon had
walked into an enormous cal
culated risk: He had accepted
a running-mate who might
go we'll with a relative hand
ful of foreign policy sophisti-
Gates but would surely con-
tribute little in that vast
stretch running from the AL
leghenies to just short Of the
Pacific Coast.
The old pros were unaware,
however. that here. as in all
other important political de-
cisions. Mr.. Nixon had not
moved without the advice of
his slide rule. He had made
private soundings before the
convention. These had indi-
Gated to him-to the frank
establishment of some top
Nixon advisers - that Mr..
Lodge would run vastly bet
ter than anybody, including
Mr.. Nixon, had thought.
1t was discovered that a
very large-and not a COM
paratively small-number Of
voters was familiar with Mr..
Lodges work in the u. NJ, and
really liked the U. N. What
was not even then unearthed,
however. was that, wholly
apart from foreign matters,
Mr.. Lodge apparently had a
certain political "it" that no.
body-leaSt of all Henry
Cabot Lodge-had suspected.
This latter discovery has
only come as Mr.. Lodge has
begun to amble about the
country, his collar-ad face
abeam and his long frame
moving with equal ease over
boardwalk or country club
grounds.
Most Republican Party
workers in the beginning
would have bet 3-to-l that
Mr.. Lodge would be active
only in a comparatively re-
stricted area and only on the
peace" issue. Otherwise he
was just going along for the
ride. Now nobody would bet
much that he won't wind up

change.

Constitutional Law

At the American Bar Asso-
citation convention a large.
representative and enthusi-
astic group of lawyers pro-
posed the creation of a new
section of the ABA-one on
Constitutional Law.
One might think that such
a section would be super
f1uous to an organization like
ABA whose overriding pur-
pose is to uphold the Con-
stitution.
On the contrary. the ABA
in spite of its special obliga-
tions and duties in the field,
has too often fallen short in
it's defense of the Constitu-
ton. just as have many other
groups such as editors, edu-
Gators, ministers, business
leaders, and especially Con-
gress itself.
At the bottom of this
default on the part of many
there appears to have been
the disposition to regard the
Constitution as an immutable
document, and, therefore,
something that could safely
be taken for granted.
President Eisenhower rec
ognized the urgency of the
problem and appointed two
study groups, and the 86th
Congress at it's first session
enacted the law creating the
permanent Advisory Commits
sion on Intergovernmental
Relations In an effort to stem
the tide that is threatening
our system of separation of
powers, and checks and bal
ances, which is the touch
stone, and the only touch
stone, of individual liberty
and free enterprise.
But the Advisory Commits
sion on Intergovernmental
Relations-broad though are
its powers, and representative
though it's membership of 25
leading experts on State and
Federal law may be-cannot.
as only another governmental
agency-do the job that must
be done.
We could not do better
than to turn to Senator
Harry F. Byrd for an example
as to why a new. fighting
ABA section is needed. Sem
ator Byrd said on the Senate
floor: II regard the right to
work as I do the right to life,
liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness. 1t is the right, the

indiscriminate, non-selective,

is there likely to be in the

war" is a foolish Germanic
concept that has been dis
proven often enough to be
convincing.
Looking at history in a
cold-blooded way, one must
conclude that with few eXcep-

insane undertaking casually
launched by madmen without
objective beyond murderous
destruction. Like other en-
deavors of mankind the insti-

been a rational, though re-
