the G. o. P. holding primaries

Gratis are running in all 81
districts.
Running for the 38th district
seat are two Negroes Re-

the Tuesday primary and q
Democrat who has four white
opponents.
The COP. candidate, insur-
ance company president T. M.
Alexander, is assured of a spot
on the November 6 general
election ballot. He might find
himself pitted against the other
Negro candidate, Democrat LIE
roy R. johnson. an attorney.
Most likely Mr.. johnson will
win a majority In the district
where Negroes comprise about
so per cent Of the population
and carry a bigger edge In
voting strength.
The obstacle to his winning
is the provision that the primary
must be conducted county-w wide
net on a strict district basis
The provision has been chal-
lenged in Federal Court.
However, the 38-year-old
johnson Is confident he will
win in the county where Negroes
are outnumbered about three
to-one.

Attitude Shifts
If the man campaigning in
Illinois this fall bears little re-
semblance to the man who res
cued the Presidents United Ma
lions bond bill last summer
with a cry that II have not lost
faith in John Fitzgerald Ken
nedy," the political mood Of
the State has something to dc
with it.
Republicans are convinced
that the Democratic admins
trations of Gov. Otto Kerner
and Chicago Mayor Richard j.
Daley are highly unpopular.
They feel the trend is on their
side this year and there is no
reason for Senator Dirksen to
give comfort to the enemy.
The Senator's chief assign
ment is simply to get around
the State and show himself.
There has been some barely
muted criticism in party ranks
at the frequency with which
he has Cancelled out of sched-
uled rallies to remain in Wash
ington.
Senator Dirksen is meeting
the issue head-on. When a ra-
dio interviewer in Effingham
introduced him yesterday as
"the man who didn't come to
dinner reference to the
Senator's absence from a teS-
timonial in Effingham last
Thursday night where 1000
people had turned out to hear
him-Senator Dirksen replied:

succulent dinner, I was still on

The leng thy congressional
session has forced Senator
Dirksen to impress two
months Of campaigning into
three weeks. Between now and
election day he has scheduled
140 meetings-or as he prefers
to call them brief periods of
Fellowship"
The pace is not easy on the
Sc year old Senator. Weary
from his late-night trip home
from Washington and still feel
ing the effects Of stomach flue,

Cites Democratic Platform
In the little black notebook
in which he keeps the neatly
outlined notes of his speeches,
there is a well-thumbed. dog
cared copy of 1.-The Rights Of

of 1860"
The Senator has marked GER

Yesterday, he read one Of his
favorites to 100 people damned

Humor Eludes Nixon
Humor has always eluded Mr..
Nixon on the platform. He all
but sends up a flare when he
is about to make a joke and
throws back his head with
Soundless laughter when it is
delivered. His problem is one
of accent. Everything is given
equal weight in his speeches.
At the Hollywood Palladium he
introduced James Stewart as If
he were presenting Gen. de
Gaulle instead of one Of the
few movie stars on his side.
This week in San Francisco
he gave what appeared to be
a startling imitation Of Adlai
Stevenson, the Democratic pres
idential nominee who in 1852
made a practice Of telling mi
nority groups what he would
not do for them.
Mr.. Nixon was speaking to
the California Real Estate AS
ISOLATION, and every word he
said was pure gold to them. He
spoke Of his opposition to the

enterprise.

Cooper Regards

Pukistun Threat

Senator Cooper, Republican
of Kentucky, said yesterday
Red China's invasion of India
poses an equal threat to neigh
boring Pakistan.
He said the hopes the gov
ernments of India and PAX
istan will find a way to set
aside their own bitter feuding
and present a united front
against the invaders.
Senator Cooper, a former
United States Ambassador to
India and known as a stu
dent of Indian affairs, said in
an interview the fact Red China
has aimed its thrust at India
but not at Pakistan is not sig
nificant. He said the Reds
evidently are bent on Selling
control of strategic mountain
passes and other key points on
the invasion route from the
northeast.
From these, he said, they
would have the option of
launching an about invasion
down through the valleys and
into the plains of India, or of
halting and using their new
footholds to back up political
and economic pressures on all
of Southeast Asia, Pakistan in

United States defense against

mounting as the Communists
persist in refusal to remove a
score or more of IlyuShin -2S
medium Jet bombers with nu-
clear-strike capability.
The bombers, together with
Russian-made MIG jet fighters
which also can be used for
bombing purposes, remain a
menace. even though the Rus
slams appear to have disman-
tied and shipped out medium
and intermediate-range balliS-
tic missiles.
Army e-Hercules missiles
capable of hurting atomic
warheads UP to 100 miles-ob-
viously have been emplaced in
southern Florida where bat
teries of shorter-range Hawk
anti-aircraft missiles already
were arrayed.
A published photograph of
one position shows two Nike
Hercules, one in vertical posi-
ton, the other still on a trans
port beside it. This is the first
disclosure that Hercules mis-
siles have been placed in South
ern Florida-the tip of which
is 80 miles from Cuba.
Until now, Nike weapons had
been deployed in other areas
of the country, primarily
around big metropolitan areas
and airfieldS.
The missile defenses are in
