By EARL MAZO For all his prominence and the millions of words that have been written and spoken about him, surprisingly little is known about Richard Milhous Nixon. Iri the political area, his point of greatest contact with the public, extremes of praise or vilification have been the general rule. Complexity of character is not unusual among important public men. But Nixon is singularly complex, a paradoxical combination of qualities that bring to mind Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Harry Truman and Joe McCarthy. He is a fatalist, to the point of believing that whether he becomes president will depend more on "circumstances" than on anything he, his friends or his opponents do.

The threat from Democrats Is of less immediate concern to Nixon, however, than the great new challenge from New York within his own party. Before the 1958 election exposed Gov. Nelson Rockefeller's extraordinary flair for vote getting, the Republican national organization, like the Democrats, was geared to a Nixon nomination, and happily so. While Nixon has always felt that getting the nomination will depend mostly on "circumstances at the time, not a man's ambition," his parallel belief Is that "a man must be ready to take advantage of an opportunity when it is offered." Furthermore, nothing disgusts him so much as a politician who shuns responsibilities in a in fear of being controversial. "I don't know of any person in a Leadership position who is worth his salt who-fem't controversial," he says.

"It's what you are controversial about that counts." That Nixon is often underrated indicates the extent to which he unknown and misunderstood. At the height of the 'storm in 1952 over the "Nixon Fund," for instance, practically everybody thought he was through. The clamor for his scalp had become nonpartisan and an hour before the television program on which he was to explain it all Nixon was notified, in secret, that Gen. Eisenhower general's campaign hierarchy thought Nixon should resign as candidate for vice president. The experts expected his talk to be a funeral oration.

Instead, he gave one of the most noteworthy performances of its kind in American politics. He turned a sentimental discussion of his finances, his family and the origin of his' children's dog, "Checkers," into a counter-offensive against the when it ended, his would-be Republican pallbearers stampeded for places on his bandwagon. Nixon is a political His instincts and training as a debater, practically since childhood, make him a forceful salesman. Nixon is also a bit of a dreamer. Some of his ideas would horrify friends and.

amaze others, while he is, essentially, a practical operator, fully aware of the perils which often keep aspirations from becoming realities, Nixon considers himself a "radical" when it comes to the goals he would set for the country. (His definition of "radical" being the "opposite of Nixon disagrees with President Eisenhower on several major issues. He expresses his -views and presses for their acceptance at Cabinet and National Security Council meetings and in private conferences with the President and other administration leaders. But, In so far as he is concerned, the arguments end once Eisenhower makes a policy decision. The President has had occasion to point up that loyalty to Nixon's critics, including Stassen.

Nixon became a nationally controversial figure late in 1948 when, as a junior member of the Un- American Activities Committee, he pushed the investigation- of Alger Hiss. That case soon developed into the issue of Communists-in- government, which became the mid-twentieth-century version of the party-of-treason shibboleth Republicans had used to their great political advantage for three dec- See RICHARD NQCON, Page 9 RICHARD M.

Return Of Lab Hinted By PRESTON OROVER MOSCOW (AP) The flying Soviet space laboratory will reach its closest distance to moon Tuesday and make mankind's first photographs of its hidden face, Tass said today. Slowed by the relentless gravitational tug of the earth, the flying laboratory should come within 4,350 miles of the moon at 5 p.m.

a.m. the official news agency said. As it approached the moon, the interplanetary what the Russians call separated from the last stage of the cosmic rocket that launched it Sunday, Tass added. The agency said that at noon Moscow time 4 a.m. station was 248,000 kilometers or 154,000 miles from the earth and over the eastern part of the Indian Ocean.

This was well over the halfway mark. Tass said the apparatus is moving toward the moon more slowly than the first and second Lu- niks. This is to enable it to pass round the moon and, be pulled back to earth instead of flying off into space as did the first moon shot last January. An Unnamed astronomer declared triumphantly over Moscow radio: "It is now a new moon and that means that the other side of the moon is brightly lighted by the rays of the sun. What lies there?

Patrick in conducting the September Grand Jury despite the fact he had not actually received his signed commission from Gov. Michael Di- Salle. The ruling came in a hearing on motions to quash four indictments after attorneys charged Patrick was not duly appointed or qualified as prosecuting attorney at the time the indictments were returned.

Ruling against the mo'tlons Judge Fisher said: "The appointment of Mr. Patrick on Sept. 1 was a valid appointment and he had qualified by taking oath and giving bond. The fact that he did not physically receive his commission by Sept. 18 after the Grand Jury session, did not affect the validity of his act before the Grand Jury inasmuch as he was a officer if not a 'de jure' officer." Prior to returning his decision Judge Fisher cited decisions given in other courts in similar cases.

Patrick became prosecutor Sept. 1, following his appointment by Judge Fisher. His commission was signed by Gov. DiSalle on Sept. 4 but was not delivered to him un- i til Sept.

Policy Unit Rejects JOHN MOODY PITTSBURGH United decision-making Wage Policy Committee today rejected as "completely unsatisfactory" a steel industry proposal for ending the 83-day-old nationwide steel strike. USW President David J. McDonald said an immediate effort would be made to resume negotiations with the steel industry. He said he was hopeful a session could be arranged yet today.

The 170-member Wage Policy Committee, which must act on all contract proposals, was told to stand-by for a possible second session later this afternoon. The meeting closed to news- U.S. Supreme Court Is Swamped By Docket WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court reassembles today to open a new term that is certain to. produce important decisions in the civil rights field. Two pilot appeals directly affecting enforcement of the 1957 Civil Rights Act are among the more than 800 cases already entered on the court's unusually heavy docket.

Heading the civil rights cases is a Justice Department appeal from a decision by a federal judge in Georgia that a section of the 1957 act is unconstitutional. He said it is invalid because it gave the attorney general authority to seek injunctions not only against state officials but against private citizens as well. The Supreme Court will hear arguments on this appeal later in the Fall. It is expected to announce soon whether it will hear arguments on another Justice Department appeal, this one from a decision by a federal judge in Alabama that the act did not empower the attorney general to sue a state. New appeals involving other ra- cial issues ask review of lower court decisions that (1) resulted in closing Prince Edward County, public schools; (2) barred the Norfolk, City Council from shutting off funds for secondary schools; (3) required Negroes seeking to enter North Carolina white schools to use all state procedures before complaining to federal courts; (4) held there was no discrimination involved in the dropping of Negro teachers when Moberly, put into effect a school integration plan; (5) ruled a Negro on an interstate bus trip could be fined $10 for refusing to leave a restaurant for whites in a Richmond interstate bus terminal.

The Supreme Court already has granted a hearing on an appeal by five Negro golfers convicted of trespassing on a course in Greensboro, N.C. It also will hear an appeal by the National Assn. for the Advancement of Colored People in a case from Little Rock, Ark. The NAACP challenged validity of an ordinance requiring it to give the city lists of members and contributors.

U.S. Awaits Outcome Of Russian Shot By JOE F. KANE WASHINGTON (AP) American scientists have tipped their hats to the Soviets who launched a new space vehicle Sunday. But they withheld any big slaps on the back until they see how the space traveler performs. There was no attempt to discredit the Soviet launching itself only a wait and see attitude on its performance.

The. U.S. space officials did not know for'sure just what kind of a vehicle had been launched, where it was to go and what it was to do. Their information was limited almost entirely to that given out by the Soviets and that was vague. T.
