Realistically they accomplish

One, they raise money.
Two, they remind the troops

Kennedy-Eisenhower Contest Is Feared
As Undermining Unity on Foreign Affairs

Is unnecessary; his own vim
dication came amply in his
overwhelming reelection to
a second term six years ago.
The voters thus are being
put in a very difficult posi-
ton. Factors not really ger.
name to deciding the right
makeup of the next Congress
are shouldering aside those
factors on which decisions
really should be made.
Whether Mr.. Kennedy or
Gen. Eisenhower "outdrew"
IN Minneapolis is not the
point.
They are intervening too
much, too strongly. and at a
bad time, considering the
state of world affairs. To the
degree that this confuses the
process of choosing a Con-
gress, it is a pity. But a far
greater pity is that while
this contest should be only a
short-term and limited OPP
Grafton, it may mushroom
into an enduring national di-
vision.
1t has long been obvious
here that beginning next year
great and possibly fateful de-
cisions, notably. over Cuba,
must be taken by the
Kennedy administration. The
nettle simply must be
graSped. The problem will
not 60 away through wishful
dreams that internal trou-

stroy a Soviet lodgment in
Cuba. Once the Russians go
in, they never go out. Their
investment is in Cuba: they
can always find another pup

1t has also long been OBJ

cisions cannot be successful
unless they involve willing
Republican cooperation and
consent. And Republican"

Something novel and dan
gerous has been added to
this years congressional
campaign. 1t is becoming a
personal and largely irrel-

Dwight D. Eisenhower, nei-

What the voters here, there

either Mr.. Kennedy or Mr..
Eisenhower is no proper
guide as to how they should
mark their ballots for partly
local offices in the House Of
Representatives or basically
State offices in the United

wholly overshadowing those

between the relative size and

The age-old question of life
on Mars may finally be
answered in three years-if
the Space Agency can get the
necessary rocket ready in time.
Mars, the mysterious "red
planet" that circles the sun
outside the earth's orbit, comes
in range for a possible space
shot in the fall of 1864. A pay
load in the Mariner series fired
at that time would reach Mars
about 200 days later, toward
the middle of 1865.
Working under a $350,00O
contract, a Washington re-
search concern has devised a
two-pound life-detecting CAD
get called "Gulliver" to make
the trip. The big question now
is the availability of an Atlas
Ceptaur, a rocket whose devel-
opment is now running over a
year behind schedule.
CULVER is built to test an
enchanting but improved theory
that Mars, like the earth, is
host to living creatures. Hardly
a square yard Of the earth'S
surface is free of living things
principally microbes of both
animal and vegetable forms OF
life.
Instead of stalking Marian
creatures with gun and camera,
CULVER proposes to go after
them with a sticky string"
Gentle Landing
AS Gilbert v. Levin, origina-
tor of the gadget, sees it, Gull
liver would be part of a bigger
payload which would be de-
tached from the main Mariner
spacecraft during a close ap-
proach to Mars. The Mariner
would fly by, and the detached
payload would be landed gently
on the surface.

Death Rate
At Record Low
In MARYLAND

BALTIMORE, Nov. 8 (AP).-
The Maryland Department Of
Health reported this week that
the death rate of 81 deaths
per 1000 Maryland residents In
1861 was the lowest on record.
Robert A. Israel, acting chief
of the Division of Statistical
Research and Records, said
there had been a steady de-
cline in the death rate in the
State. with few exceptions, dur
ing the last several decades.
This, he said, followed the ma
tional trend.
Mr.. Israel said the five most
frequent causes of death in
Maryland last year were dis
peaSeS Of the heart, malignant
neoplasms, cerebral hemorrhage
and other vascular LESSONS, ac-
cidents and certain diseases Of
early infancy.
He said the number Of births
to Maryland residents reached
an all-time high last year of
1876. However, said Israel, the
birth rate Of 24.7 births per
1000 population was the fourth
successive decline since the 1857
peak of 1853.

DOCTOR CAUTIONS AGAINST KILLING
 DOGS WHICH BITE

Dr. Vincent Hume this week urged owners of dogs which have bitten persons to tie and pen the dog for a period of sev- en to 10 days. Tn the past month there have been two cases where dog owners have immediately destroyed huskies which have bitten individuals Under no circumstances should such dogs be immediately des- troyed," Dr. Hume emphasized
 If a dog is rabid, the doctor explained, during the period of seven to 10 days, the dog will die. If the animal is destroyed II means very complicated procedure must be followed and in the two recent cases. the heads of the dogs had to be sent to Georgia for study. In the meantime, the dog bite victim IS treated, pending results of the study. The vaccine, which must be administered over a period of time, is very painful to the patient, and is not with out certain complications, Dr. | Hume pointed out.
 Dr. Hume also urged parents to teach their children to stay away from all husky dogs which are tied up.
