U. 5. 10 Retain
EconorIlicLead,
Nixon Declares
Farm Issue Views
Get Mixed Reaction
In North Dukotu
BY DAVID S. BRODER
Star Stan Writer

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 21.-
Vice President Nixon declared
today Americas economy will
remain ahead of Russia's for
the remainder of the Goth CEN
tury.
The prospective Republican
presidential candidate took his
stand on the issue he called
"growthmanship"-the relative
progress of the Soviet and
American economies - in a
speech before the national con-
vention of the Junior Chamber
of Commerce.
1t was the second major
topic of the coming election he
had discussed in the past IL
hours.
Farm Views Reaction Mixed
In Minot, N. OAK, last night
he unveiled some of his think
ing of the farm issue and re-
ceived what can best be de-
scribed as a mixed reaction on
his first venture into this
thorny field.
His arrival in st. Louis early
this morning, however, restored
the enthusiastic atmosphere
evident at virtually every stop
of his tour through Texas and
the DakotaS.
A thousand or more whis-
ting. shouting Jaycees were on
hand to greet Mr.. Nixon and
his wife at the airport, and the
tumult was duplicated when
they marched into their hotel
between two rows of prancing
majorettes.
In his speech this morning,
Mr.. Nixon said I'VE in this
country must recognize the Sc
rious nature" of the challenge
of Soviet economic growth.
Comparisons Called False
But he accused the Demo-
Gratis of playing "growthman-
ship-the most fashionable po-
litical parlor game of our time"
by making what he said were
false comparisons between
American and Russian achieve
ments.
''It is no service to America. /"
Mr.. Nixon declared, Ito over
estimate Communist achieve
ments. . . BY any projection
that can be applied, there is no
possibility that the Soviet
economy will overtake our own
at any time in this century"
The Vice President charged
that Democrats favor Govern
ment spending regardless of It's
purpose. . We say that the
way to achieve maximum
growth in this country is not
by increasing the size and cost
of Government but by expand
ing the opportunities for in
vestment and creative produc-
tivity for millions of free Amer
lean citizens"
Statement Modified
Mr.. Nixon hedged this free
enterprise doctrine by saying
those who feel Government
activity is necessarily bad are
just as wrong as those who say
it is automatically good.
I'VE must" he said. "recog-
nize the continuing need fer
investment" by Government in
such areas as education, trans
portation, urban renewal and
other areas.
Last night in Minot, Mr.. Nix
on chose the only avowedly
partisan occasion of his four
day swing to deliver his first
speech Of the year on the
touchy farm issue.
Some 5000 persons turned
out in a predominantly Demo-
cratic city to hear him address
a rally for Gov. John E. Davis,
engaged in a close race with
Democratic Representative Bur-
dick in next Tuesdays special
Senate election in North Da-
kota.

Bill 10 Curb
Home Repair
Racket Pushed
Mcmillan Pledges
AlI-Out Effort for
Action This Session
BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG
Star stan Writer

Chairman Mcmillan of the
House District Committee to-
day said he will do his best
to push through legislation
curbing home improvement
racketeers in the Washington
area before the session ends.
He made the comment after
Corporation Counsel Chester
Gray forwarded the proposed
legislation to the House and
Senate District Committees,
which had requested it. The
measure was expected to be
introduced today.
Mr.. Mcmillan said he had
discussed the problem of un-
scrupulous home improvement
contractors with several of his
colleagues. The evils which the
legislation is designed to cor
rect were highlighted in a re-
cent Star series, "Homeowner
Beware"
The proposed legislation
would provide for bonding of
home improvement contractors
and protect homeownerS
against being forced to pay
twice for the same work.
Congress Action Required
Mr.. Gray, in an accompany
ing letter, explained that the
bill provides only what is
needed to supplement the Com
miSSioners' present authority
so as to give them sufficient
power to deal adequately with
the situation which has been
created by some of the persons
engaging in this particular
kind of business"
The bonding provision re-
quires action by Congress. The
Commissioners already have
the authority to license home
improvement contractors. This
is now being put in final form.
The proposed bill offers pro-
lection to homeowners who pay
in advance for home improve
ment work which is never done.
When payments are made in
advance. under the proposed
measure. the home improve
ment contractor would be re-
quired to post a bond to cover
the advance payment and to
provide an accounting of how
the advance payment is spent
at regular intervals.
Another feature of the pro-
posed legislation is a provision
protecting homeowners from
mechanics liens filed by sub
contractors in cases where the
homeowner has paid the home
improvement contractor but
the contractor has failed to
pay off the subcontractor.
Proof of the payment to the
contractor would be a defense
against the mechanics lien.
Caution Is Keynote
Mr.. Gray said this provision
lis designed to make subcon-
tractors more cautious in their
dealings with one who they
may have reason to believe will
not honor his contract with
them and in any event to re-
lieve the homeowner from pay
ing twice for work for which
he should have to pay only
once"
Drafters Of the bill said sub
contractors, tradespeople and
laborers had been victimized by
fly by night home improve
ment contractors along with
homeowners. It was pointed out
that this provision of the bill
would put them on notice
against dealing with dubious
contractors.
One plumbing subcontractor
reported to the United States
Attorney that he had not been
paid for more than $500 worth
of work on a Cleveland Park
home. He said that he did not
file a mechanics lien against
the homeowner because the
homeowner already had been
bilked of his life savings by a
home-improvement swindler.

HONOLULU, June 21.-Pres-
ident Eisenhower, hailed by
more than 100000 cheering
HawaiianS, booked another
golf round today after ap-
parently swapping back fast
from WEAKNESS of his Far
Eastern tour.
Mr.. Eisenhower was admit
tedly exhausted when he ar
rived from Korea in this new
50th State at midday yeSter-
day (Hawaii time). Neverthe-
less, he lost little time in turn
ing to his favorite outdoor rec
reation.
The President took a brief
nap and then played nine
holes of golf on a breeze-cooled
course at the edge of the blue
Pacific. The temperature was
ip the mid-80s but there was
none of the mugginess he had
encountered almost every
where on his tour to the
Philippines, Nationalist China,
Okinawa and Korea.

named precinct chairman, Miss
Doreen Midget, Vice-chairman;
Dotty Fry, secretary, after the
election of the committee which
also included D. F. Thyme and
Bobby Owens. Upwards of dozen
nominations had been made for the
committee.
Interest was heightened in this
meeting in Manteo because of the
expected resignation next week of
NJ. L. Daniels, County Chairman,
and of the desire to replace C. r.
Evans, retiring precinct chairman
with someone who would favor Mr.
Daniels choice for his successor.
A move followed this week to
put Bobby Owens, grandson-in-law
of Mr.. Daniels in the office OF
County Chairman at the county
convention on Saturday of this
week. For time, A. H. Ward, Jr.
was proposed, and later Mr.. Owens
the energetic Larkins manager ir
Dare County, and an enthusiastic
party worker. Both had wisely de
clined on the ground that taking
over this year in a time of stress
by one young and with limited ex
perience in politics might be at ;
disadvantage, both to the party
and the person who took the post
Certainly, a risky one for some

if elected, and is actively cam
