PAGE FOUR ditorial 0 • inio Young Voters Have Carved Responsibility It was made official last night Young Richard 'M. Nixon was nominated to be the GOP's sparring partner for the Democrats' young John F. Kennedy in - a match that has even the oddsmakers stumped Neither of the youthful competitors for the nation's highest office has ever been defeated in an election since they started their political careers together in the House of Representatives after World War 11. And a trend that has been clearly evident through -Jut both party campaigns is the big role the young voters of the country have played in drumming to the top two young candidates in this crucial era that calls for vigorous, active leadership. Neither man's nomination was a surprise. The work of energetic young campaigners has been a driving force in their rise. This force has already continued with re newed vigor behind Senator Kennedy in the final leg of the campaign. ft will do the same for Nixon. For once the youth of the nation, who will be most primarily affected and who will be most responsible for defending this nation and her freedom have taken the initiative in naming her leader. College students of voting age must follow this presi dential campaign closely and actively so that the nation's informed youth can live up to the responsibility it has carved for itself in leading these two young men to the forefront of the nation.

Kennedy. Nixon and Kennedy entered the 80th Congress together in 1946 after serving in the U.S. Navy during World War 11. They were both re-elected to the 81st Con gress in 1948. A variation in the pattern ap peared in 1950 as Nixon won a seat in the Senate, but Kennedy followed suit in 1952. The nomination for both young politicians did not come as a sur prise. Kennedy's eye has been on the White House since he lost a close decision for the vice presi dential spot to Sen. Estes Kefau ver in 1956. Nixon, as number two man to Dwight D. Eisenhower, has been groomed for' the chief executive position since taking the oath of office in January 1953. Although he received some opposition from New York gov ernor Nelson A. Rockefeller, Nixon was always expected to get the nomination :n Chicago. Only "a heartbeat away" from the president's chair, Nixon has been given more duties and op portunities for prestige than any other vice president in history. Nixon is the first veep to pre side over a cabinet meeting and has served in a similar capacity for the National Security Coun cil in absence of the president. Three limes in as many years Nixon was propelled even near er the presidency. In 1955 Pres ident Eisenhower suffered a se rious heart attack. The next year Eisenhower underwent an ileitis operation, and in 1957 he had a mild stroke. His illnesses, coupled with Nix on's increased responsibilities, emphasized to the Amorican peo ple the importance of the vice presidency. Nixon, often described as a "lantern-jawed young man." was born in Yorba Linda, Cal., on Jan. 9, 1913. He attended Whittier College, where he is now a mem ber of the hoard of trustees. He attended Duke University Law School on a scholarship and received his legal degree in t l C • .• ` '`~ l ~ `lam. BUT FROM HOME. THAT'S DIFFERENT.

Nixon served in the wartime Office of Emergency Manage ment in 1942 until he entered the Navy that August. He emerged from the service as a" lieutenant commander, a rank he has retained in the U.S. Navy Reserve through his vice presi- dency. Nixon entered politics from a private law practice in Califor nia in 1946 after reading an ad vertisement for GOP candidates, While in Congress, he was one of the few legislators who doubted Algae Hiss' denials of the Com munist spy charges directed at hint by Whittaker Chambers, a former Communist himself, Hiss, who had been a trusted State Department official, was later convicted of perjury on the basis of evidence presented by Chambers. Accused during the 1952 cam paign of receiving a California fund for his personal use, Nix on made a television speech de nying these charges and pre senting his private expenses for public scrutiny.

ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst President Eisenhower was expressing a belief rather than making a serious proposal when he suggested a world plebi scite in which people might choose between communism and free society. He was making the claim that more people respect the United States than the Soviet Union He's probably right. There's no way of finding out, The Commu nists are in sufficiently firm con trol of enough people to make the thought of a free plebiscite fantas tic Th e question is, would he be safe in issuing the challenge 10, 20, or 50 years from now? Backing away from old con cepts of war, al though using ROBERTS military power for blackmail wherever that is practicable, the Communists have boldly attacked the free world at the point of its greatest pride and strength, its economic system.

In 1953 he went on a 70-day good will tour of the Far East. Another Nixon trip made the headlines when in 1953 he and his wife Pat were stoned and spat upon in Lima, Peru, and Caracas, Venezuela, as a part of Commun ist-agitated dem ons tr a Lions against the United States. Nixon participated in the now famous "kitchen debate" with So viet Premier Nikita S. Khru shchev at the U.S. exhibition in Moscow during a 1959 trip to Rus sia. Nixon feels that he is "well fixed" if wealth should become an issue in the coming contest. Much of his $45,000 annual sal ary goes toward payment for the mortgage on his $ 1 5.000 Washington, D.C., home. Fees for his speeches and any maga zine articles are given to char ity. Observers say that Nixon can run as a "poor boy made good," a distinction the Democratic nom inee definitely cannot claim. been forced by ,q military stand off to revert to the oldest line of Marxism. In such a situation, the great est counterforce available to the free world is only just beginning to stir in awareness. Free enter prise itself, the real target of the Communists, has been standing back behind governmental ma neuver and military deterrence. A hint of what free enterprise might accomplish has come from the Congo, where a contract promising development money— whether it is ever implemented or not—completely changed the tune of a premier who had been flirt ing with the Soviet Union. A hint of what the Soviet eco nomic drive might accomplish has spread through the free world oil industry.
