CHICAGO, July 21.-Se-
lecting a vice presidential
nominee to run with Vice
President Nixon as top man
has become as much a guess
ing game here in Chicago as
that in Los Angeles before the
nomination of Senator Lyn-
don Johnson to run with Sem
ator Kennedy on the Demo-
cratic ticket.
Obviously, unless the con-
vention should take the bit
in its teeth and run wild as
it did 40 years ago, the choice
will be made by Mr.. Nixon
himself. In 1920, the dele
gates having been handed
Senator Warren G.. Harding
Of Ohio as their presidential
candidate, Stampeded to Gov.
Calvin Coolidge of Massachu-
sets, destined to become
President after Mr.. Harding's
death. No revolt of such pro-
portions is expected at the
convention next week.
If Mr.. Nixon has finally
picked a running mate, it is
a closely guarded secret. He
has spoken again and again
of a long list of available
men of ability" in private
conversations. But Mr.. Nixon
has not tapped any of these
possibilities"
There are reasons given
for the selection of this or
that man. For example, it
has been understood that a
dominant note in the cam
paign will be international
relations, with a heavy note
on picking the right man for
President to deal with Rus
sian Premier Nikita Khru-
shchev. In that event, while
Mr.. Nixon himself will be
hailed as the tough man who
can handle the Russian Com
muniSt leader, it is urged
that Henry Cabot Lodge,
United States ambassador to
the United Nations, would be
a fitting running mate.
TeleviSed in Action
The fact that Mr.. Lodge
for years has been televised
when he traded punches
with Russian Foreign Min
lister Gromyko and Russian
ambassadors is advanced as
an argument to name Mr
Lodge for Vice President.
Mr.. Lodge has more than
held his own with the Rus
slams at the United Nations
and his image is known. as
well as his name, to millions
of Americans who have
watched him in action.
The need of a Nixon run
ming mate who can add to
the COP. strength in the
farm areas of the West and
Middlewest brings to the fore
another list of V.P. possibil-
tiles, headed by Secretary OF
the Interior Fred Seaton, a
Nebraskan. The farm issue
is of tremendous Importance
The farm areas until a
few years ago have been

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES (. TRACEWELL

The worst feature, how
ever, was the gawking car
load, the solicitous conduc-
tor who asked him if he were
hurt.
Hurt!
The small Jones picked
himself up quickly, held
himself at his full height, to
show that he was not hurt
in the least.
He admitted to a pain in
his pride, but it was not until
he got around the corner
that he put down the suit
case to rub another portion
of his anatomy.
AS long as Jones could re-
member, streetcars and the
National Capital had gone
along together. With all
their faults, including noise,
they had their good points,
not the least of which was
safety.
This had grown with the
years, until the old streetcar
had become the safest place
in some very unsafe streets.
The loading platform,
frowned upon by some as un-
esthetic, nevertheless has
managed to make standing
and waiting and boarding
comparatively safe for all.
In hectic traffic these plain
wooden platforms have eased
the minds of countless thou
sands of people. To many
such persons it is almost as
bad to be afraid of getting
run over as to be run down.
At least that is the way they
feel at times, as they man
age to get themselves caught
somewhere between two lines
of onrushing traffic.
The loading platforms have
added immeasurably to the
mental comfort Of the people.
Jones hoped that even the
ultimate abolition of the
street cars and tracks would
not entirely do away with
platforms. The need for
them on such boulevards as
Connecticut and Wisconsin
avenues will be greater than
ever, as these thoroughfares
are turned over entirely to
the tender mercies of motor
lists.
n
Vast increase of automobile
traffic in recent years made
platforms necessary, as they
brought to the fore one of the
street cars inherent bad
points, that the passenger
must come to the center of
the street to get aboard.
The fact that a bus can
and does take the passenger
on at the curb, and let him
off at the same comparative
safe place. is surely one of
the greatest points in their
favor.
If, under the new dispen-
sations. buses are permitted
to stay in the center Of the
road, instead of pulling up to
the curb. there will be cause
for lament.

Life Insurance Survey Reports

period OF 1910 months. This is
calculated from income eSti-
mates made by Sales Mana
cement.
Adapting this ratio to Ge-
auga County, where net in
come during that period of
time averages $6,654 per
household, the indicated a =
mount of life insurance local
ly is $10,510 per family.
1t is more than is held by
most families throughout the
United States, the average
being $1,000.
The grand total, for all Ge-
auga County families, is $106,
Isl 900. The largest part of it
is in the form of ordinary
life insurance. Group insur-
ance is second in volume.
In the past ten years, 1t is
pointed out, life insurance
ownership per family h a S
more than doubled in t h e
United States. with the rate
of growth highest in the Wes-
tern and Southern states.
The growth is attributed,
in part, to the fact that people
who would have been turned
down by insurance compan-
les at one time as poor
risks, are how being accept
ed. These include diabetes,
persons with arrested cancer
conditions and even those
who have had heart attacks.
Even people engaged in
such hazardous occupations
as auto racing and deep sea
diving can now get policies.

than good.'
 Not so, said Sen. Lester Bron- son. "You have to have an egg before you have chicken" Bron- son said, arguing local constables were the first step in getting needed law enforcement for vil- lages which now lack police services.
 The Nome Democrat said the plan was backed by Kotzebue, Bethel and other Northwestern villages, which are willing to share the cost of state constable assigned to their communities.
 Sen. James Nolan of Wrangell said many villages need a law enforcement official with State Police standing, not only in nor- thern Alaska but in the South eastern panhandle as well. In the long run, he said, it would cost more in travel expenses to have regular state troopers on long dis tance touring beats.
 In reply to questions put to the Senate's Finance Committee, Sen. John Coghill of Nenana said the Department of Public Safety was asking funds to increase the State Police uniformed force by three officers this year. The necessary travel and salary expenses for the three men would total $45,OO0 year, Coghill said.
