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.

Nominees'Careers
When the Republicans nom
inated Richard Nixon as the
party candidate for president,
they continued a parallel in
the political careers of Nixon
and his opposite number, John
F. 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

Nixon served in the wartime

the Navy that August. He
emerged from the service as a"

he has retained in the U.S. Navy

Interpreting
Ike's Proposal Seen
As Claim of Respect
By J. M. 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.
Though not renouncing the So
iet tradition of aggressive ex
pansionism, the Reds have thus

the pair swept to a landslide
victory that November.
Under Eisenhower, Nixon has
traveled t 60,000 miles and has
visited 54 foreign countries. 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

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

spread through the free world oil
industry.
