THE POLITICAL MILL
Eisenhower On Nixon Nomination
By GOULD LINCOLN

Without changing his at
titude that it is not his duty
or his province to nominate a
presidential candidate, Presi-
dent Eisenhower has effec-
lively said that Vice President
Nixon. now regarded as a
sure-flre nominee of the
COP, is satisfactory to him.
Not only that, the President
said the Vice President is
fully aware of the Presidents
feelings toward him. These
statements. made by the
President at his most recent
press conference, should fully
set at rest rumors which have
cropped up from time to time
that Mr.. Eisenhower might
be something more than
lukewarm toward a Nixon
nomination for President.
The President has over a long
period spoken in glowing
terms of the Vice President
as a public servant and in
praise Of Mr.. Nixon's ability.
The President. when ques-
toned as to why he had not
given Mr.. Nixon an indorse-
ment for the presidential
nomination when he spoke at
a Republican dinner in Los
Angeles, as some California
Republicans suggested he
might have done. admitted
that any question of Mr..
NiXon's nomination at the
hands of the Republican
National Convention in Chi
cago next July seemed "a bit
academic" Nevertheless, he
continued. there is always an
element of doubt in human
affairs. He reiterated his
statement made in the past
that there are a number of
Republicans qualified for the
nomination and the presi-
Dental Office. He did not list
them at the press confer
ence yesterday.
EvaSive in 1856
The questioning of the
President regarding an in
dorsement for Mr.. Nixon for
President recalls the frequent
questions directed to the
President before the 1856
Republican National Conven-
ton, and during the period
before Mr.. Eisenhower an
nounced he would be a
candidate to succeed himself.
These questions frequently
related to the Vice President.
In his answers, Mr.. Eisen-
hover invariably praised the
Vice President, although not
committing himself to any
candidate. either for Presi-
dent or for Vice President.
1t was not until the President
arrived in San Francisco, at
the time the G. o. P. was
meeting in national conven-
ton to make the nominations
that the President moved fast
and firmly into Mr.. Nixon's
corner. The President effec-
tually put an end to the
efforts of Harold E. Stassen
to substitute another vice
presidential nominee for Mr..
Nixon.
The question raised by CAL
ltornia Republicans why
didn't the President indorse
Mr.. Nixon at the Los An
geles gathering?) presumably
is related to the failure of

10th STREET,

L
Dear Sir:
Il have a watch that loses
2 minutes a day.
DO you think I ought to
have it corrected, or just re-
member to set the thing ahead
2 minutes each morning?
This is not a Joke. I really
mean it. Time is something
that has always worried me
1 think that if I permitted
myself, I could worry myself
silly over time.
Ever since I was a child
the idea of time has been one
OF my unsolved problems. II
Is something that does not
exist, in a sense, and yet we
are bound by it.
I'VE get up at a fixed time
and go to bed at a certain
time. We are supposed to get
to work at exactly 8 O'Clock
and we seldom do it, so l
think this is a constant
worry.
The very idea of time is
frightening on the way home.
The bus creeps along, and the
man could drive faster if he
wanted to. but evidently he
doesn't want to.
Il die a thousand deaths
each trip, wondering if I will
make the transfer point in
time. If I miss it, I stand for
a long time.
The sum total of the
worries caused by the passage
OF the time must amount to
a staggering total of woe for
every one person, and when
you add up all the people
and their suffering from mis-
placed time, ! think you can
see how time affects me.
Sincerely, AGNES T. Y"
Il
Time is a mystery.
Despite mans advance in
physics, so dramatic in this
age, we know little more
about time than Caesar did.
The old boy had all the
time there was when he
crossed the Rubicon.
Today we have exactly
as much. no more and no
less.
We are Caesars equal. 1t
IS easy enough to talk about
the pace of modern life. Our
pace, today, we are told, is
faster. What do we mean by
that? Nobody is quite sure.
1t is just one of the cliches
OF the age. something 10
sound grand but mean very
little. We are abused mentally
and spiritually by such
slogans, hurled at us by
grinning men with axes to
grind.
Our pace. they tell us, is
so swift that we get heart
disease before we should.

OF New York. speaking at q
Republican dinner In WASH
ington, D. c., on the same
night, to say a kind word for
the Vice President and his
candidacy. Since that time
strong supporters Of the Gov
ernor have said he will do
his bit for Mr.. Nixon-if the
Vice President is the COP.
NOTWITHSTANDING the ensuing
campaign. However, there is
strong suspicion that Gov.
Rockefeller still hopes the
Republicans will take another
look before or during the
party's national convention
and turn from Mr.. Nixon to
him. It's a long shot, of
course. But he apparently be-
leVeS-as President Eisen-
hover has pointed out-that
human events and actions are
not at all times predictable.
If Gov. Rockefeller has in
mind a presidential nomina-
ton for himself-notwith-
standing his withdrawal from
the race against Mr.. Nixon
some weeks ago-he seems
to be going about it in the
rlght way. He has just SUBJ
mltted his budget for the
state government for the
next fiscal year. 1t is an ad.
mirable budget. While it is
constructed on a pay-as-you
go plan, looks to a surplus of
receipts over expenditures,
1t makes provision for better
ment of needed government
services. He is fortunate in
the fact that the Republicans
are in control of both the
State Senate and the Assem-
oly. And if the Governor has
his way with this important
budget proposal, he will have
gained still more in stature
as a leader and administrator.
He has been Governor for
Just one year-following his
dramatic defeat of his Demo-
cratic opponent, Gov. Averell
Hartman, Democrat, by half
a-mlllion votes.
Only Other Choice
For a year it has been clear
that Rockefeller was probably
the only Republican likely or
able to challenge Vice Presi.
dent Nixon for the presiden-
tial nomination in 1860,
Indeed, the only other Re-
publican leader who might
have been in the race. too.

r. knowland of California.
eliminated when he met dis
astrous defeat in his try for
the governorship of his State.
And Gov. Rockefeller remains
today the only choice of the
Republicans should anything
happen to remove Mr.. Nixon
as candidate or so weaken
him as to make a switch de-
sirable. That being the situa-
ton, the Governor continues
to say nothing-but he con.
tlnues to saw wood. Whether
ne could ever be persuaded
10 accept a vice presidential
nomination is another ques-
tlon. His statement that he
was not a candidate and
would not be under any cir
cumstances for that office
was about as fiat and conclu-
sive as he could make it. But
again, nothing in human af-
fairs is impossible.

Seed For SOybean
Varieties Plentiful

Seed for the Hill and Hood soy
beans are now plentiful in Della
ware, according to University OF
Delaware agronomist Frank b.
Springer, Jr. He said all seed
houses have them as well as many
farmers who produce certified seed.
Farmers can get list Of certi-
fled seed producers from their
county agent if they want to get
certified seed from a local pro-
ducer, Springer said.
Hill is in the same range
as Dorman and it is expected to re-
place Dorman. Hill stands up much
better than Dorman and yields
slightly better, although the seed
size is a little smaller.
The Hood bean is in the same
maturity range as Ogden but 1T
reaches maturity about 10 days
earlier. This is an important factor,
Springer said. Ogden is a little
too late in maturing for some Del
marva seasons. Hood also yields
slightly better and it's seed quality
is very good.
Another leading variety is Clark.
Last year II of the farmers who
competed in the Delaware soybean
yield contest grew more than 40
bushels per acre. OF those II, 10
did the trick with Clark beans.
Clark has been a high yielding
variety but has been of poor quality
at times due to Delmarva's weather
conditions. With this quality prob
lem in mind a new variety has been
developed to replace Clark. 1t will
probably be released this Fall,
Springer said.
Varieties, of course, are pot the
only element responsible for good
yields. There are about six factors
involved in soybean production
which contribute to high produc-
ton. All these elements are essen
tial:
1. Use enough lime to keep the
soil PHI around 60 or above.
2. Use enough fertilizer-at least
200 pounds of O-20-20 per acre.
8. Select a recommended variety
Clark for 120 day season; Hill
for 130 days; and Hood for 140
days.
4. Plant on time-that means
May 20 to June Is. (If you are
planting after small grain it will
be later than June Is. You can
still get crop but it will not
match the early planted beans).
5. Use enough plants.
6. Control weeds.

ALBINO FROGS PAMPERED

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (H) - A
Florida State University zoologist
has three frogs in a bathtub in his
office and he's giving them loving
care.
DIR. John A. Dawson hopes they
can be nursed to maturity and that
he can use them to initiate what
he thinks will be the first pure
strain of albino frogs in the world.
The albino showed up as an ac-
cident of nature in the cross-breed-
ing of normal colored frogs to get
tadpoles for research on blood cir
culation. They are lacking in pig
ment, the material that gives color
to the skin.
After producing a pure strain,
Dawson plans to give the offspring
of other scientists conducting re-
search in genetics, pigmentation
embryology. 1t takes a year or
more to raise the frogs to the
breeding stage.
"The only albinO frog in any
other country about which l have
heard is an adult male discovered
recently i'm England" Dawson said.

3. How about his personal ap-
pearance? (He should be clean and
well-groomed and take pride in
himself.)
4. Does he stand outside beat
ing the horn" when he calls for you
at home? (Ie should appear cor
dial, polite, mannerly and greet
your parents before you go out)
5. Does he persists in spending
the evening at your house even
though he has invited you out?
either you can't see the reason
he likes you or you don't want to
see it.)
Those are little guideposts,
says Nick, but they hold true of
many boys. He adds:
''It's wise not to accept date
just because you want to be pop
ular. It's dangerous. Dutch treats
are all right until the boy becomes
q serious dater. 1t is not good af-
ter you become engaged because
the boy seems more like an escort
than a permanent date, and you
will feel that he really doesn't care
enough to save his money for your
enjoyment"
Nick doesn't believe in blind
dates.
"The only time a. blind date is
all right is when reliable people
get you together. It's wise in most
cases not to go out with boy about
whom you know nothing"
What kind of girl does this SEN
sible, intelligent, realistic boy like?
His surprising ideal is: Beautiful,
blonde, shapely and DUMB.
Beautiful and Dumb
Why dumb? Nick explains:
Marriage depends on the mans
maturity more than the girls 1t
is the custom of our society that
the man should be head of the
house, the wage Garner, smarter
than his spouse. 1t works out bet
ter when she's not as bright as
her husband"
Although Nick is from the film
city, he has no desire to be in the
movies and would reject an offer,
he says, because there is no use
trying to be something you aren't.
II would ruin me characteristic. >
He adds:
Besides I don't need swim

Meeting Set
On Arlington
School Dances

The question of whether
racially integrated Arlington
schools should resume sponsor
ship of social activities will be
reviewed next month.
The school board agreed last
night to discuss the controver-
sial issue at a special meeting,
tentatively scheduled on Au-
gust 16.
After the Federal Court
ordered % Negroes admitted
to previously segregated schools
last year, the board voted to
permit no school sponsored
social affairs such as dances.
At the same time, it agreed to
allow chaperoning parents to
rent school facilities for such
functions at a cost of $6 an
evening.
The president of the PTA at
Stratford Junior High School,
in which most of the % chill
dren were enrolled last year,
has indicated his group may
favor a return to school spon-
sorship. The informal views
which l have gathered at STRAIT
ford are overwhelmingly in
favor of the resumption of
normal activities. However,
I believe the board would want
to wait until the PTAs have
considered this matter ofici-
ally" Nathan BrodSky wrote
board members.
I'VE of Stratford are anxious
TO have our view considered in
this matter. Additionally, we
are directly concerned with the
limitation placed on the sched-
uling of our athletic events. "
Supt. Ray Reid recommended
the special meeting. .
Il would consider this of such
Importance that there should
be a special meeting. Many
people will doubtless want to
be heard" he said.
Mr.. Reid also stressed that
the school staff needs to know
as soon as possible what the
policy will be so it can plan
accordingly before classes open
in September.
