Nixon of distorting Soviet foreign policy in his radio and television address to the Soviet people. In the first public Soviet comment on Nixon's un amuel LubeU, one of America's fore-mostpulsetakers and analysts, has just completed a seven-week tour of Midwestern farm states, tapping the opinions of farmers on major issues of the day. What he found out is revealed in a series of five articles, leading off with an analysis of farm-belt thinking.

on the 1960 Presiden- Lubell By SAMUEL LUBELL With the 1960 Presidential election not much more than a year away, the voting trend among the nation's farmers still is running heavily against the Republican party. During the last seven weeks I have traveled through Midwestern states talking with farmers of every description on how they feel about the major issues of the, day, from farm surpluses to a surplus of Presidential candidates. Of the farmers I inter- ii 4 Jt 'M 'ft.) viewed who voted for President Eisenhower in 1956, one of every six wanted to see a "change in the White House." A typical reason was voiced by one Iowan who declared, "I don't know that the Democrats can do any better, but something's wrong with things as they are." THE REPUBLICANS, however, can draw some tion from the fact that no single Democratic 'potential nulls as strongly as does the Democratic party (jr4 SUPER HIGHWAY This high speed interchange southwest of Sioux Falls near the Minnehaha-Lincoln County line connects' north-south Interstate 29 with Interstate '229 (Logan avenue bypass) which passes south and east of the city.

In a TV-radio address to the Soviet people, Nixon called for a ''freer flow of newspapers and magazines so that the Soviet people can buv American newspapers and magazines here, just as we Americans purchased over one and one-half million Soviet publications in the last year alone." Nixon said information media must print the truth and prevent the spread of misinformation. Then he added: "There was a report in Pravda to the effect that on the morning after I arrived in Moscow I tried to give money to a poor Soviet citizen with the hope that American press photographers who were present might take pic tures or the incident and send them around the, world. There was not a shred of truth to this story." Nixon said what actually happened was that several Russians in a food market asked him for tickets for the Ss-exhfbition. He said he had no tickets with him but would be glad to buy them some.

The vice president said one Russian then explained that they had money to buy tickets but were unable to obtain any. Nixon said he promised to see if he could obtain tickets for them. Lake Claims Mitchell Mon As Boat Tips Mitchell, S.D. UP) Twenty-eight-year-old Cecil Reynolds and his black Labrador, "Boy," were great pals. The dog followed Reynolds everywhere.

Saturday, Cecil's wife and three children were gone from their Lakeshore home when Cecil took his sailboat out on Lake Mitchell. He didn't take "Boy" along. Across the lake, Mr. and Mrs. A.

K. Stenson ate a leisurely dinner and watched the white sail of Reynold's boat skim along over the water. On shore, "Boy" loped happily along following the boat Suddenly a gust of wind upset the sailboat, and "Boy" dashed into the water. Before he could get there, the Stensons said, Reynolds had righted the boat and continued sailing. Then the boat popped over a second time, and "Boy" again dashed into the water.

This time he swam all the way out and the Stensons saw him swimming in frantic circles. His master was nowhere in sight. Cecil never came up. When firemen recovered the body at sunset, "Boy" was still running up and down the shore. Long after dark the Stensons could hear his bark echoing over the water.

Kennedy emerges as almost the only one who stirs real public interest Adlai Stevenson has never been strong in the farm belt and this sentiment hasn't changed. Mention of his name brings such comments as, "He's been beat too often" or "The women won't vote for him." Near Wichita, one elderly wheat farmer who voted for Eisenhower twice remarked, "I hope they don't run Stevenson.

I want to vote Democratic." A blank stare was often the reaction I got to the names of Senators Hubert H. Humphrey, Stuart Symington and Lyndon B. Johnson. Of the three, Humphrey drew- the greatest recognition. Still, his strength was only middling, considering that "my interviewing was concentrated in his own native Midwest.

A valuable point was his understanding of the might and strength of our country." But Soviet commentator Yakov Viktorov charged Nixon dodged the question of American bases encircling the Soviet Union.

IN HIS ADDRESS Nixon said the bases were for defensive not aggressive purposes and would be removed whenever the United States no longer felt threatened. "Does Mr. Nixon really think that the Soviet people are so naive as to believe that the American military bases, which are placed thou sands of kilometers from tne U.S.A. and very close to the Soviet Union's frontiers, are intended to defend Amer ica's frontiers on whom no one ever has made or will make attacks?" Viktorov asked. To be still motfrcM vincing, Nixon even tries to delve into the past distorting Soviet foreign policy and the history of its development.

"But what did history say, now that wixon nas Deen able to convince himself of the love of peace of the Soviet Union? How is one then to ex plain the establishment of American atom and rocket installations in other coun tries at a minimum distance from the Soviet Union? He has no answer to that question nor could he have." VIKTOROV'S comments came in a Swedish-language broadcast from Moscow. There was no indication whether his remarks had been put out to Soviet listeners. Two and a half hours after Nixon's address radio Mos cow's domestic news bulletin had nothing to say about Nixon's TV appearance.

Whether you Jopk at it.in terms of miles br millions of dollars, the Interstate highway project in and around Sfoux Falls is big.

The plan to circle Sioux Falls with a super highway is beginning to take form as the various, and seemingly unconnected, projects move toward completion and toward each other. Up to this point, the earth-moving, road building and construction of bridges, overpasses and interchanges appeared to have no particular goal as far as the layman was concerned. Now, with the help of a lit-tie imagination, it is possible to visualize what the builders have had in mind all along. You don't need Hollywood superlatives to say this project is big as concrete and money pour into the area in endless streams. AT THIS VERY moment, between $11 and $12 million in Interstate projects, are under contract around the city.

W. A. Arns, resident, engineer at Sioux Falls, said that $1,062,130.01 was paid from the Sioux Falls office to contractors from June 16 to July 15. As the number of projects under contract increased, the work of the engineers increased to the point where a second resident engineer I structures 10 per cent com pleted, i Interstate 229 From 10th street north to junction with east-west Interstate 90, plans completed.

To give the public an idea of the amount of work involved, in addition to grading and paving, Arns outlined the various structures necessary to carry the Interstate highway around the city. It should be remembered that Interstate 90. is the east- west highway which. passes north of Sioux Falls about 1,600 feet north of Highway 38A, Interstate 29 is the north-south highway west of Sioux Falls and Interstate 229 is the Logan avenue bypass around the south and east sides of Sioux Falls.

THE GOVERNMENT talked witft' Nixon, however, emerges as an extremely partisan figure, who does not appeal to wavering Democratic voters.

A number of anti-Kennedy Democrats, when asked to choose between Kennedy and Nixon, replied, "I won't vote." Many of these same persons said they would go for Rockefeller against Kennedy. v. Rockefeller's strongest hope would seem to lie in a Kennedy versus-Rocke-f eller contest Both' among Democrats and Republicans the atti tudes towards Nixon seem set and fairly With Rockefeller, the prevailing attitudes are more fluid and subject to To most voters, he is mainly "a name I've heard all my life." Several persons even made the slip of referring to him first as "Roosevelt" and then cor recting themselves. Rockefeller's record as Governor is not well known. If anything, my interviews indicate he probably has been helped by the tax in creases he put through as governor of New York.

"Those tax increases must have been necessary," remarked -one elderly farmer Wisconsin. "Rockefeller must have known it wouldn't help him politically." Generally, the Republicans who favor Nixon echo the comment of one Minnesota farmer, "He has the experi ence, wny not keep him there." (Copyright, 1959, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)

"With this new outbreak of fighting," the U.S.

"Evidently, the Communist regimes in China and North Viet Nam do not look with favor on any normalization, of the situation nlnnc their boundaries.

IN CONTRAST, the voting appeal shown by Kennedy is truly impressive. He has two mam assets. First is his youth.

There has been no change in the public's desire, which was so marked in the 1958 election, for younger, vigorous candidates. and im portant, he is associated in people minds witn opposition to labor racketeering. Many voters confuse the Senator with his brother Bob, and credit John with the McCIellaa Committee. As one Boone County, fanner remarked, "When I say I like" Ken-nedy, I'm thinking of both brothers.
