He was 25 years old when he and his bride faced the task of re-entering civilian life, completing his education, and choosing a career. The medical profession was beyond him now.

After a year at the University of Arizona, he transferred to Washburn in Topeka where he decided to study for a law degree. He could not take notes but, with the aid of a wire recorder in classes, he was enabled to transcribe the tapes laboriously, with his left hand, at night.

Its 58 counties contain no great cities (Salina, the largest, has a population of 42,000) but Western Kansas is witnessing a remarkable industrial growth in recent years, based upon huge underground stores of gas and oil. Heartland of America Bob Dole, the spokesman for this vast expanse in the eemed interested in me as land of America, has graduated during his less than four years in the House, to the top ranks of a young Republican group which is revitalizing the minority party.

He is tabbed by Rep. Charles A. Halleck the GOP leader, as a "comer." He is 40 years old, of athletic built (six feet, one inch, 182 pounds), a man of smiles and a quick wit who looks as if he had never had a care in the world. He has one unusual habit. As if by chance, when greeting visitors, he holds a paper or material in his right hand so he shakes hands with his left.

The right arm and hand is a surgeon's product of transplanted bone and muscle. It is Dole's from a hospital ordeal which lasted for three years and three months. He was encased in a plaster cast from knees to ears, both arms and both legs paralyzed, his neck vetebrae fractured and his spinal cord damaged. Physi- ceiving the medicine on a trial basis. It worked.

As Dole fought his way back, from bed to wheel chair to tentative first steps, he was assisted in the battle by the girl from Concord. "You get the impression, when you're paralyzed and immersed in plaster, that the other sex can't possibly be interested in you as a man," remarked Dole, with a grin. "But she human being more than as some poor soul. I got over a feeling of being rather sorry for myself through her and also by seeing the plight of much worse cases than myself in the hospital. "I was always something of a comedian as a kid and I developed a sense of humor in that hospital.

After a while, they were shifting me to wards where morale was low." But he was still not a whole mam The Army gave him a second Purple Heart, a Bronze Star with cluster achievement, and to captain but" it could not provide the specialized surgery needed to give him back his right arm. Bigger Things He was ready for bigger things in 1960 when Rep. Wint Smith, a Republican veteran of 14 years in Congress, decided to retire. Politicians applauded his discretion. Smith had squeaked through to a primary victory in 1958 by 51 votes and had defeated his Democratic opponent in the fall by only 233 votes.

In the spirited contest for the Republican nomination which followed, Dole defeated an opponent of prestige in the party organization by 987 votes. He went on to beat a Democratic opponent in November by more than 20,000 votes. His re-election to a second term in 1962 marked his tenth political victory without defeat in primaries and elections. His voting record is one of stout conservatism. He is against regimenting the farmer with mandatory programs.

In a letter to the mayor of each city receiving local airline service, CAB Chairman Alan S. Boyd said air services to smaller towns, expanded substantially in recent years, are created at a considerable expense to the airlines and to the government in the form of subsidy. "Unless adequate use is made of the air service, its cost to the government is not warranted, and continuation of the service would not be in the best interests of the public," Boyd said.
