1t is true that reporters ar

in the campaign caravans. You
heard strong sentiments voiced
in favor of both Mr.. Kennedy
and Mr.. Nixon. Newspapermen
do not live in a political vac
uum.

crept into the news stories
Impressive studies indicate OBJ
jective reports far outweigheo
Slanted stories.
In 1860, reporters covering
Mr.. Nixon complained that he
became inaccessible, wouldn't
answer questions or hold news
conferences. The Washington
executive who was helping him
gives the answer:
only five or six out of the
60-odd travelling with Dick
were fair to him. So in Oc-
tober, we decided simply to
discontinue the formal press
conferences"
Held Parties at Home
Before the California cam
paign, this year, informed
sources say, Mr.. Nixon made a
conscientious effort to improve
his relations with the press. He
had several cocktail parties for
them in his home.
In the campaign, he some
times rode in the press bus. held
frequent news conferences,
made a speech at the Los An
geles Press Club. gave radio
and TV interviews.
Reporters give this evalua-
ton of Mr.. Nixon's relations
with the press in this cam
paign:
His relations were correct
and courteous but not cordial.
There were minor complaints
on both sides. Unidentified

dislike for Mr.. Nixon while
covering him. He never got

Nixon's Goodness to Newsmen Built Up Through Years

in his Checkers" speech, a ma
tionally televised explanation of
the fund. Checkers was his
sad-eyed cocker spaniel.
This speech went, indelibly,
into Mr.. Nixon's public image.
His critics, growing larger as
he moved up the political lad
der, called it the ultimate in
corn" But he remained on
the That's my boy"
said Gen. Eisenhower - and
went on to victory.
Sign of Hostility
During that campaign, to my
knowledge, there was no sign
that Mr.. Nixon discerned any
hostility among the correspond
ents.
1t is ironical, in fact, to
recall a speech by Adlai E..
Stevenson. the Democratic
presidential nominee, on a
rainy night in Portland, Greg,
IN 1852. He spoke of the "one-
party" press, arguing that most
newspapers were G. o. P.-ori-
ented.
But in the 1856 campaign,
there was an incident indi-
eating that Mr.. Nixon may have
thought he sensed unfriendli-
ness toward him in the press
corps.
He was making a speech in
the Midwest. A few reporters,
spotting some amusing cam
paign placards, moved away
from the platform to COPY
them. A Nixon aide blew up.
He accused them of "deliber-
ately trying to distract the
crowds attention"
Bad Feeling Indicated
A Washington executive, who
does not wish to be identified,
went to work for Mr.. Nixon at
about that same time. This is
what he says he discovered:
1.-THE first time I sat in on a
Nixon press conference, I was
shocked. The spirit emanating
from the reporters was pure
poison. It was a semi inquisi-
ton, more an effort to trap
Dick than to get his ideas.
"Afterward, I asked Dick,
What were they trying to do?
Why were they so unfriendly?
He replied, oh, that's Just
par for the course. In fact,
that was an easy one. They
just don't like me, that's ALL"
Now, to come to the 1860
campaign when John F. Ken
nedy defeated Mr.. Nixon for
the presidency
No campaign-coverage in
history has been so thoroughly
analysed, mostly by profession
al newspapermen, after the
race ended.

days of the campaign was cited

in some studies.
After the campaign ended,

vention of Sigma Delta Chi,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-11-11


On that day, Alger Hiss and
the late Whitaker Chambers
confronted each other before
the House Committee on IN
American Activities.
Red Issue Alive
Communism inside the
United States was a burning
issue then. Mr.. Nixon was
closely associated with the Hiss
case. The strange story of the

microfilmed copies of Govern
ment documents which, Mr..
Chambers said. Hiss gave him
to be sent to the Soviet Union.
Mr.. Chambers had hidden them
| in a pumpkin.
A Federal grand Jury in
dicted Hiss for perjury two
months later.
The Hiss case made Mr..
Nixon a national figure. 1t also
brought him many friends and
many savage enemies, a cleav-
age in American public opinion
that was to be widened in 1850
by Mr.. Nixon's campaign
against Mrs. Douglas for the
Senate. He was accused of
"smearing" her on the Com
munist issue.
Now. the Hiss case is i'm
portant the story Of Nix
on-and-the-press. For it was
to a newspaperman whom he
turned for advice while collect
ing evidence-the late Bert
Andrews, chief of the Wash
ington bureau of the New York
Herald Tribune.
Gave Full Credit
In one Of the biographies of
Mr.. Nixon, he is quoted as
saying Of the Hiss case:
"As in all such cases, there
were a number of people who
deserve credit for the parts
they played, but I know from
firSt-hand experience that Bert
Andrews name should be
among the first when the
credits are given to those who
participated"
Moreover, in his personal
contacts with correspondents
during this period, Mr.. Nixon
gave no sign of feeling any of
them were hostile to him. He
was always friendly, accessible.

porters.

DEALINGS WITH PRESS
BY RELMAN MORN
Associated Press Staff Writer

On January 1861 while presiding over the United States
Senate for the last time Vice President Richard NJ Nixon
requested permission to speak, and said utterly silent
chamber:
This is the first time in 100 years that candidate for
the presidency announced the result of which he

was defeated and announced
the victory of his opponent.
Those who lose accept the ver-
dict and support those who
won"
Some of Mr.. NiXon's fiercest
political enemies rose to shake
his hand when he finished.
Fright to Be Unfair"
About a month later, on a
television program, Mr.. Nixon
was asked if he felt the news
papers had been fair to him
during his campaign for the
presidency in 1860. He replied:
mo politician ever thinks he
is treated correctly unless he
wins the election.
What we have to realize is
that the right of a free press
means the right to be unfair.
And why do I say that? Be-
cause who is to say what is
fair? Are you to say, am l to
say, or are they to say?"
The Nixon in these two
scenes contrasts sharply with
the man who appeared unex-
pectedly - wholly contrary to
plan, his associates say-in the
ballroom of a hotel in Beverly
Hills, Calf, last Wednesday
morning. An aide had just con-
coded Mr.. Nixon's defeat by
Democratic Edmund C. Brown
in Mr.. Nixon's herculean effort
to be elected Governor of Cali
fornia.
Bias Is Charged
Mr.. Nixon spoke to about 100
reporters for II minutes, ram
bling over a variety of topics.
Most of his statement, how
ever, was devoted to the news
paper coverage of his campaign.
The burden of it was that the
press as a whole had been BIZ
ased against him. He said:
But as ! leave you, I want
you to know-just think how
much you're going to be miss
ing. You won't have Nixon to
kick around any more, because,
gentlemen. this is my last press
conference"
One of Mr.. Nixon's closet as
sociates told this correspondent
later:
you can't blame Nixon for
saying what he did. This has
been building up in him for 16
years"
If accurate, that would take
the story back to 1916.
In February of that year, an
ardent Republican businessman
in Pasadena, Calf, told me:
We've got a honey of a cam
didate for Congress from this
district =. just out of the
Navy bright nice per-
sonality makes a great
speech looks like a fighter
young fellow named Dick
Nixon keep your eye on
him"
Beat Jerry Voorhis
Mr.. Nixon was 80 years old.
This was his first campaign.
His opponent, Jerry Voorhis,
was a popular, seasoned and
apparently we'll entrenched
Democrat.
Mr.. Nixon beat him, 1886
votes to 1894, in that race.
Thereafter, it was not diff
cult to keep your eye on him."
Books have been written
about Mr.. Nixon's extraordi-
nary political career thereafter.
He kept winning elections, in
1948 and again in 1850 when
he ran for the Senate against
Congresswoman Helen Gaha-
gan Douglas
But it was scene two years
earlier, on August 8, 1913, that
focused the full glare of ma
tional attention on MIR. Nixon.

AB Cancels Certificate of Sourdough Air Transport

WASHINGTON R --- The Civil Aeronautics Board was advised Saturday to cancel the supple mental airline certificate of Sour dough Air Transport, Seattle. The CABS Bureau of Econ omic Regulation said the com |pany has virtually no resources and no available equipment or personnel.
 The Bureaus counsel, George Kenyon Jr., told CAB examiner Richard Walsh that Sourdough has demonstrated a serious lack of concern" for compliance with safety regulations and has de- monstrated that it is unfit for re- newal of it's certificate
 Walsh is considering the appli- cation of Sourdough for extension Hof a 2-year operating certificate that has expired.
 The owners of the airline were identified as MT. and Mrs. Anton R. Johansen of Seattle.
 Kenyon said Sourdough owns no airworthy aircraft, only 3 pcs purchased in damaged condition in 1855 for $75.
 He said the plane has been de- teriorating in the open at Nome, Alaska, since 1855. He noted also that in 1857 Johansen told the Board it would cost $50,000 to $60, ,000 to repair the plane, and that he now estimates the cost at only $35, 5,000
 The Bureau said Sourdough violated regulations by renting out its certificate to Flightcraft. Inc, a Portland, Ore, air taxi operator, and to Southeast Air lines, Philadelphia supplemental operator, without prior permission of the Board.

Ex-Gen. Walker Files for Governor of Texas

AUSTIN, Tex. uR Edwin Walker, the controversial former Army General, and Gov. Price Daniel, who wants to be Texas first four-te chief executive, dived into hot gubernatorial race Friday.
 Both became candidates for nomination in May Democratic primary election that promises to be bitterly contested.
 Walker, B, resigned as Major General late last year after the Army relieved him of command of the 24th Division in Germany and reprimanded him for a troop ndoctrination program. He since has aligned himself with extreme rightist groups.
 Walker paid his $l ,0O0 filing fee to the State Democratic Ex- ecutive Committee late Friday.
 An aide of Sen. John Tower, R-Tex), said in Washington that Tower and Sen. Strom Thurmond, tD-S.C.), both urged Walker not to enter politics. The aide said both senators told Walker his cru sade for principle would lose gloss and glitter" if he became a candidate.

Argentina Pres. Frondizi Defends Cuba from GAS

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina B President Arturo Frondizi bit terly assailed International re- actionaries" Saturday and defi- antly defended Argentina's re- fusal to vote for expelling Cuba from the GAS at the Punta Del Este Conference.
 In a speech at Parana. Fron- dizi declared he accepts full re- sponsibility for Argentina's stand that brought angry military de- mands for an immediate break in relations with Castro's Cuba.
 In speaking of reactionaries, Frondizi referred to opponents of his governments position and de- clared T will die" in defense of Argentina's dignity.
 He defended Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Bolivia, Ecuador and Mex ico for abstaining on the vote to expel Cuba from the councils of the Organization of American States (OtASl.
 He said that against stern op- position, the six-nation bloc stood it's ground to defend the legal rights of the GAS and athe basic principles of self determination and non-intervention.'
 In warning to the United States and 13 Latin nations which voted to expel Cuba, he said the renunciation of these principles could plunge the hemisphere into "the law Of the jungle"
 The presidents surprising speech, coming after he appear ed to have bowed to the pressure of military leaders, was expected to add fuel to the military crisis in Argentina.
 A government communique had announced that Argentina now favored the custer of Cuba from the inter-American system" as soon as possible.
 And Friday Frondizi had sum- moned home his ambassador to Cuba, Julio Amoedo, in an ap- parent first step toward a break in diplomatic relations.

 requests for 1863 is request for $35oooo for 512 pupil high school with boarding facilities for the na- tive children from communities of northern Alaska to be built at Fairbanks
 It is understandable that more boarding schools necessary in several parts of the State that native children from small villages may have the op portnity of high school education But to bring seg- regation into the picture in higher education by bu ing high school for Eskimo children is something which should not be encouraged
 Eskimo children are first class Americans and first class Aaskans and should grow up normally with all other children within the State so they can work side by side without any unnatural barriers
 The money for this high school could be better spent to improve and enlarge state public schools that the citizens of tomorrow learn together as Alaskans without racial conflict or compexes Civic organizations legislators, political parties ANB and village councils should vigorously oppose such school asking instead that boarding schools be put wherever there are high schools such Kotzebue, Nome Fair banks, etc. So that Eskimo children may be as near home possible rather than build another Mt Edge cuInbe. This school will not be built if the Eskimo people do not want their children segregated This is still free country

 The museum is in building in the center of this town 100 miles north of Rome.

en. McNealy Warns People They ' lust Air Their HiWay Views Now

FAIRBANKS M -- Tn an inter view Saturday with the News Miner, State Sen. Robert McNealy in Juneau said the special Sen ate Highways Investigating Com mittee, of which he is chairman, is working hard to probe deeply into all the ramifications of the failure to obtain adequate roads since Statehood was granted.
 Medically, whose committee is
 probing the State Division of Highways and related agencies after a special Investigating com mittee was named last week by Senate President Frank Peratro- vich, reiterated that this twill not be a whitewash' committee, but one which intends to get to the bottom of the operation and policies of the Division of High ways and it's apparent lack of action.
 McNealy said, ssdue to the com p1aints made to me and others on the highways of the Fourth Di- vision, or lack of road building, all 20 of the senators in the Legislature voted to hold a fu1l- scale investigation of the Highway Division and related agencies. In this, Gov. Egan also concurred.'
 He added, II had promised you folks at home to make this move and as result ended up as chair man of the investigating com mittee. Now is the time when you folks back at home have a chance to have your say as to roads, or lack thereof. Groups of citizens are urged to send a re- preventative to Juneau to testify. McNealy said the regular com mittee hours will be from ' to g lp.m. Mondays, Tuesdays, Thurs days, and Fridays until Feb. 1s
 or longer if necessary.
 l He said these hours were se'
 to lose no time during regular
 Senate hours, although special
 sessions wil be held so as not te
 delay those coming from q dis tance when requested.
 Tn a terse tone, McNealy said,
 This is a fact finding commit tee, and the public may attend the sessions as we'll as the press. We welcome witnesses both pro and con in order to find ou. about l our roads.
 "We have offered this op- Iportunity to the people of Alaska
 and I am not going to be too
 sympathetic next summer to
 those who call about roads and made no effort to assist this Sem ate investigation of highways !
