Communist-Free World Struggle
Gives Vote 'Compelling Importance'
CONVENTION HALL, CHICAGO (M-Henry Cabot Lodge
accepted the Republican Vice-Presidential nomination last
night with an address thrusting foreign affairs forward as
the key issue of the campaign.
He said the "life and death struggle" between the Com-
munists and the free world gives the election "its compelling,
overwhelming importance to us and to the world," and that
no one is so well fitted as presidential nominee Richard M.
Nixon to represent this country "in the turmoil of world

politics." On his part, Lodge

World Dangerous
Lodge, the United States Am-

said the world is full of dangers
because of Communists' inten-

"When it becomes obvious to
them-as I believe it has-that
attempts to do so by military force

tation, they resort to threats, hate

NixonTakes
Republican'
Candidacy
CONVENTION HALL, CHICA-
GO M>- Richard M. Nixon ac-
cepted the Republican presiden-
tial nomination last night as "the
greatest moment of my life" and
dedicated himself to the cause of
freedom for all mankind.
Nixon stood before a mass of
cheering, applauding partisans in
the closing hour of their national
convention.
He swung away at the Demo-
crats, chided Nikita S. Khrush-
chev and promised to drive facts
home to the people with a politi-
cal campaign in all 50 states "such
as this country has never seen be-
fore."
Starts Tonight
And, he added, the campaign
started tonight.
Just a century ago, Nixon said,
Abraham Lincoln was nominated
for President in this very city. The
problems confronting the next
chief executive, he said, will sur-
pass the question of freedom for
slaves and survival of the nation.
"The question now," he said,
"is freedom for all mankind and
the survival of civilization. And
the choice you make, each of you
listening to me makes this No-
vember, can effect the answer to
that question."
Alludes To Cuba
With allusions to Cuba and
Berlin and Russia, Nixon told his
audience of Republican delegates
and the millions watching and
listening by radio and TV:
"America will not tolerate be-
ing pushed around by anybody."
Nixon called out the name of
Sen. John F. Kennedy of Massa-
chusetts, the manthe Democrats;
picked to challenge him for the
Presidency,. He accused Kennedy
of making a "rash and impulsive
suggestion" that President Eisen-I
hower should have voiced regrets
to Soviet Premier Khrushchev
over the U2 spy plane incident.
The party faithful came out!
with a tremendous roar of boos.
And when Mr. Khrushchev says
to us our grandchildren will live
under Communism, he proposed,
"let us say to him that his grand-
children will live in freedom."
A thundering roar of applause
rolled through this huge, packed
amphitheater.
The vice president who has de-
signs on stepping into the world's
most powerful office received a
vast roof-rattling ovation when
he appeared before the conven-
tion and when he concluded his
50-minute address.

OVERCOMES OPPOSITION-Henry Cabot Lodge, United States
Ambassador to the United Nations, last night accepted his nomi-

though no one else was nominated, he was a far from unanimous

Republican Vice-Presidential nominee was bitterly opposed by a great

Students
Expelled
By Russia
MOSCOW, (JP)-Soviet officials
yesterday ordered immediate ex-
pulsion of three Americans, a
Briton and a West German arrest-
ed in an incident involving dis-
tribution to Russians of the Unit-
ed States State Department mag-
azine Amerika.
It was the second incident of
its kind in less than a week. The
first, also on distribution of Amer-
ika, involved six young Americans,
five of whom had been detained
temporarily. The first group, how-
ever, was not expelled.
The three Americans and their
companions were questioned about
four hours. Soviet police ordered
them to sign statements, but the
youths said they refused to sign
anything in a language they
could not understand.
Officials Reluctant
Western and Soviet officials
were reluctant to discuss the in-
cident. Informed sources said the
three Americans were students
who took 50 copies of the magazine
from the American Embassy,
where they are available to tour-
ists.
The three drove to a downtown
hotel and from their car began to
distribute the magazine. A crowd
gathered and Russians called the
police.
The police took into custody
not only the three students, but
a Briton, a West German and an-
other American-described as a
Chicago schoolteacher-who were
takling pictures of the occurrence.
Escorted to Hotel
The police ecorted the students
into the hotel, where they demand-
ed-and were refused-permission
to call the United States Embas-
sy. However, a fourth American,
Identified by the United States
Embassy only as McGovern, man-
aged to slip away. He called the
embassy, which sent an official
to the hotel immediately to nego-
tiate.
Magazines Exchanged
Amerika is a handsomely illus-
trated, slick-paper magazine de-
signed to inform Russians ob-
jectively about the United States.
Its distribution on a limited basis
is permitted in return for limited
distribution of a similar Soviet
publication, USSR, in the United
States.
About 50,000 copies of Amerika
are 'printed monthly, but the em-
bassy said up to 400 copies are re-
turned monthly by Soviet offi-
cials. These are stacked in the
embassy reception room and visi-
tors may take as many as they
want.
Western sources at first identi-
fied all those detained as Ameri-
cans. It turned out later that one
was British and one German, but
for the Soviet record, all remained
classified as Americans charged
with disturbing the peace.
It was only after the incident
became public knowledge that it
was learned the other incident
had occurred over the weekend in
Moscow involving the six other
young Americans.

UN Head Tours Congo;
Lumumba Augurs War
By The Associated Press
Dag Hammarskjold arrived in the Congo yesterday for a personal
look at UN efforts to bring order to that new African nation.
Congo Premier Patrice Lumumba meanwhile warned that unless
Belgian troops leave his country "there may be massive massacre."
Lumumba met newsmen in Washington, where he has won a
promise of United States aid. He told a news conference the situation
in his country could lead to another world war. He said he has been
under renewed pressure to seek?


American "or other" troops to
restore order to the Congo, but he
became angry when reporters
pressed him to find out if by
"other" troops he meant Russian
troops.
Troops To Remain
In Brussels, the Belgian govern-
ment said its troops will remain in
the former Belgian colony at least
until UN troops can maintain
order.
Hammarskjold, UN secretary
general, opened his mission in the
Congo by conferring with Presi-
dent Joseph Kasavubu and UN
authorities assigned to Leopold-
yille, headed by Undersecretary
Ralph J. Bunche.

IMPROMPTU GATHERING:
Hyde Park' Discusses Disarmament
By JOSEPH GLUTZ
A crowd of University faculty members, employees, students, and
other townspeople on their lunch hour gathered at an impromptu
Hyde Park on the Diag. yesterday noon.
The group, which at one point included about 125 people, dis-
cussed disarmament and the arms race.
Rev. Curtis Crawford, a Unitarian minister and a professor of
philosophy at New York University, was the principal speaker. He said
that if man does not stop war, war will stop the evolution of mankind.
Rev. Crawford and two others are touring 11 states this summer
on behalf of the 1960 Campaign for Disarmament under sponsorship
of church, civic and professional organizations, he said.
Asked which political platform came closest to a "sane nuclear
' ~policy," Rev. Crawford stated that the Democratic platform con-

that no specifics were given.
