Portable Latrines At Arlington Irks Retired Officer By JAY SHARBUTT WASHINGTON (AP) A retired Army colonel, incensed over the placing of portable latrines near graves at Arlington National Cemetery, is warring to remove them from public view. But as of Monday, the private war of Col. Zebulon L. Strickland Jr.

He said he complained abou it to cemetery officials and i was removed after more than a week--only lo turn up later near another grave in the 420-acre cemetery.

No cemetery administrate! was available for comment lati Monday.

"They don't seem to realize that a temporary desecration a grave is just as bad as a per manent desecration," Strict land said, leading newsmen on i brief tour of the cemetery grounds. He pointed out a grey chemi cal latrine seven paces from thi grave of an Army Air Corps ser geant killed in 1944 and another painted in white enamel am bearing Ihe company name "Don's Johns." The second was 16 paces from the grave of an Ohio private who served in World War I and was buried in Arlington in 1965 "Disgraceful," snapped thi colonel.

Nixon Expects Kennedy Will Be Opponent A News Analysis By RELMAN MORIN RENO, Nev. (AP) Richard I. Nixon foresees another great ixon-Kennedy contest for the residency next November, almost a repeat of the 1960 spec- acular which he lost in the clos- st election in modern political istory. Nixon expects to win the Re- ublican nomination for prcsi- ent and he thinks Sen. Robert Kennedy of New York will be is Democratic opponent.

The former vice president's analysis of the outlook for Kenedy and Vice President Hubert I. Humphrey, who has not yet nnounced his presidential can- id acy, goes like this: "You always think of Bobby lennedy as being the organiza- ion man and Humphrey as the man with great appeal to the iublic. Now Humphrey, because ic is part of the administralion, the organization man and he IBS to depend on the Democrat- establishment. Kennedy on he other hand is playing to the jeople. My guess is that if Ken- ledy rolls up the majorities I hink he will in the primaries, ie will be nominated." Apart from the presidential irimaries, Nixon's chief lieutenants advanced three principal reasons why they believed Kennedy will be the Democratic wminee--what they describe as he senator's "capable and effi- organization," his appea younger Democratic politicians as against the older ones the party hierarchy, and their telief that "the national Demo- ralic organization is too weak get the nomination for Hum- ihrey." To which, perhaps, could be added a fourth factor, the agged memory of November 22, 1963, when President John Cennedy was assassinated in Dallas.

Nixon said in Helena, Monl. today, "I am not indicating I would prefer him (Hum ihrey) to win over somebody but I am suggesting thai he vice president is going to lave quite a difficult time un ess he can find a way to Cennedy in the primaries." Some of Nixon's chief advis ers, however, say they believe lumphrey would be a stronger opponent than Kennedy. are mindful of the enormous in fluence of the While House in a )residenlial eleclion. Nixon cons tan lly keeps om eye on the doings of the Demo- irals.
