Welch, 69, Iowa- born New England lawyer who gained fame in the Army- McCarthy hearings six years ago, died Thursday at Cape Cod hospital. Welch, whose humor, devastated courtroom opponents, suffered two heart attacks. He was stricken Sept.

8 at his Cape Cod home. His wife was with him when he died. Joseph Nye Welch was a "lawyer's 'lawyer" who was catapulted to fame on coast- to-coast television. The pub- licity led to an important role in a hit Hollywood movie" and a the role of mystery- raconteur i a series. Welch was born of English parents at Primghar, Iowa, Oct.

22, 1890. He was Phi a Kappa at Grinnell College and No. 2 of the Harvard Law School class of 1919. The retiring life he led at home in suburban Walpole and on Cape Cod was in contrast to the glare of publicity upon i appointment as Army counsel in 1954. It was Welch's job to defend the A against charges by Sen.

Joseph that the service was infiltrated by Communists. Welch, an expert in cross- examination, worked without fee for the Army. Before the TV cameras he retained the aplomb which had endeared him to colleagues. Welch avoided arguments, made few "points of order" and bore gracefully rulings which were adverse to his case. Two years after the Army- McCarthy hearings, Welch was named father of the year by the National Father's Day committee.

Welch had two sons, both of them engineers. Hollywood beckoned with an, important but secondary role as a jurist in the film version of the best seller, "Anatomy of a Murder." Welch took the job in which he portrayed a judge. "I took it because it looked like that was the only way I'd to be a judge," he said. Peace bridge is U. N.

goal UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. Embittered by defeat of their attempt to produce a Soviet-United States summit meeting, Asian-African neutrals pushed a campaign Thursday to build a peace bridge between the world's two greatest powers. The Communist bloc in the U. N.

General Assembly, at the same time, reacted exuberantly to the developments, hailing the neutralist clash with the United States as a clear victory for Premier Khrushchev. As I Demos still hold big a margin House race one-sided By KENNETH FINK Princtton Research Service PRINCETON, N. J. Results of the latest ''trial a of voter preference for House of Representatives show Democratic candidates running ahead of Republicans by as big a margin as they racked up in the 1958 election. What should be of deep concern to Vice President Nixon and other GOP leaders across the nation is that today's findings indicate that Democratic Congressional candidates would do considerably better today than they did in the 1956 election the year President Eisenhower scored his impressive victory.

Today's results are of interest since they provide a good indication of the basic strengths of the two major political parties in the nation just 33 days before Election Day. THIS NOVEMBER, every seat in the House of Representatives, plus each state's electoral votes for president as well as about one hi every three U. S. Senate seats, will be up for grabs. Here's how the vote went in a survey with adult citizens in all walks of life: The question: "If the election for Congress was held today, which party would you like to see win in your own district -the Republican or the Democratic?" The following table shows the results among those who had an opinion on the above question, or who, if undecided, stated towards which party they leaned: Democrats 53.15% Republicans 41.65 Undecided 5.20 With the undecided eliminated, the results are: Democrats Republicans 44 In 195d, the Democrats won control of the House of Representatives by the big margin of 129 seats while picking up 56 per cent of the popular vote.

TODAY'S FINDINGS thus indicate that sentiment for Democratic Congressional candidates is just about what it was in November, 1958. When today's vote is stacked up alongside the national congressional vote of the past six elections, the trend looks like this: Popnlir Vale Home OOP Demo MM 5.1.7 "171 2IM 1050 4S.7 50.3 2S5 49.X 50.2 2H 1931 47.42 52.58 2011 4fl.ll' 51.4 300 235 1058 44.0 Sd.ft 1M "Number ef Home iwt to 4W tnm 1 WBWp wWKWWN one Sommunist representative put it, the Soviet premier "did not even have to lift a finger" to achieve it. U.S. maneuvers succeeded early Thursday in heading off the neutralist proposal urging a conference of President Eisenhower and Premier Khrushchev. But American diplomats conceded the United States may have received damage as a result of the neutralist struggle.

THE EFFECT of the action was to leave neutrals irked with the United States for fighting them. The Soviet Union, by abstaining, avoided becoming a target for the neutrals' annoyance, even though the Communist bloc votes could have put the neutral resolution over. Both Eisenhower and Khrushchev had made clear they did not want to meet, but the Communists simply stood by and abstained from voting while the United States led the strategy to defeat the neutralists' bid. THE NEUTRALISTS finally gave up the struggle Jor their five-nation U.S.-Soviet summit proposal after the Assembly, at U.S. urging, voted to rdelete specific reference to the two government heads and call merely for resumption of Soviet-American diplomatic con tacts.

But there was "no one- sided majority such as the United States had enjoyed on other issues. An indication of the Asian- African bloc's new tactics came at the outset of Thursday's Assembly session, Iraq, a member of the bloc, appealed to all na- tionos of Asia, Africa and Latin America to advocate "positive neutrality" and establish an East-West bridge.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa A diminishing anti-republican lead indicated that South Africans have voted to cut their country loose from the British crown.

NEW YORK Nigeria, Africa's newest and laVgest independent state, has no intention to joining any blocs or groups, Prime Minister Alhaji Sir Abubakar Tafawa Ealewa Tourists held by Russia Yanks took photographs WASHINGTON (UPI) The State Department said Thursday it has information indicating two American tourists miss- in Russia since August are being held for taking photo- near the Soviet border. The two are Harvey C. Bennett, 26, Bath, Maine, and Mark Kaminsky, 28, Jefferson Township, Cass County, Mich. State Department spokesman Francis Tully Jr. said an American tourist he had seen Kaminsky Aug.

25 at Uzhgorod on the Czech border. The tourist said Kaminsky had "stated he was under detention for having taken a REPEATED inquiries by the U.S. government have failed to bring any information about Ka minsky or Bennett from the So viet official Intourist a agency or the Russian foreign office. Tully said "it is quite clear that two Americans cannot be missing in the Soviet Union without the knowledge of the Soviet government." Last direct word from the two men came on a postcard which Mrs. Bennett received from lier husband Sept.

6. The card was dated Aug. 19 and postmarked from Vinnitsa, a Soviet town near the Czech border. BENNETT TOLD his wife that the two had had auto trouble but were planning to leave the Soviet Union in about six days at Chop, a point where the Russian, Hungarian and Czech borders converge. Chop is 20 miles south of Uzhgorod where Kaminsky subsequently was seen and reported he was under detention.

Another American tourist had reported that he had talked witt Bennett and Kaminsky at a hotel at Kiev on Aug. 18, just a week before Kaminsky was seen at the border. The Intourist agency, in response to two inquiries from the U.S. Embassy, reported on Sept 15 that the two missing men had been scheduled to leave the Soviet Union at Uzhgoroc Aug. 29 but had not passed the check points there and appar ently were still in Russia.

On Sept. 20 Intourist informed the embassy that there was "no further information Boy ordered to spend next 10 weekends in jail COUNCIL BLUFFS tf) Al bert L.

Invasion force "from U.S." lands on east Cuban coast HAVANA W--A platoon-sized invasion force from the United States has landed in east Cuba and headed into the mountains after suffering three casualties in a brush with militiamen, the Armed Forces Ministry announced Thursday. A ministry communique said the landing was a by 27 men including three Americans, "at dawn Wednesday on a bay midway between the towns of Baracoa and Moa, the site of a nationalized American mining company. THE AREA is in Oriente i the revolutionary stamping grounds of Prime Minister Fidel Castro.

The commander of the invasion force was killed and two of the men--one wounded--were captured, the ministry said. The invaders reportedly carried with them a large American flag, three pack mules, one U.S. Army uniform, and various documents, all of which were seized by the militiamen. The commander was identified as Armentino Feria, a follower of Cuban Rolando INVADE), HAVANA SAYS Masferrer. a a wealthy backer of the deposed President Fulgencio Batista, is a refugee in the United States.

"The remainder of the group cannot escape the revolutionar army and loyal militiamen," th communique said. "Our govern ment is fully aWare of this open activity by which imperialism i attempting to promote counter revolutionary activity and act of terrorism." For months Castro has been predicting an invasion. This in cident, as outlined by the Armec Forces Ministry, appears to be the first confirmation that oppo sition forces are ready to move men into Cuba to assist the in surgents already fighting in th Escambray Mountains in thi center of the island.

Size of crowds grows Nixon more enthused NASHVILLE, Tenn.

'resident Eichard M. Nixon ipped into the South Thursday float on a cloud of enthusiasm teamed up.by the presidential ampaign's biggest turnout in 'hiladelphia Wednesday night. The Republican presidential displayed new confi- ence in the outcome of his est with his Democratic opponent, Sen. John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts, as he stumped across the doubtful border state )f Tennessee.

Nixon later will fly to Cleveand, Ohio. There Kennedy's street crowds of 250,000 had been tops until Nixon drew omewhere around a police-estimated 500,000 in Philadelphia, vhich used to be Republican but has been Democratic hi recent ears. A CROWD which left about 3,000 empty seats in Philadelphia's Convention lall--scene of many national conventions--made up in stamp- ng enthusiasm what it lacked numbers. There is no denying, however, Nixon had scored a 10- strike in Pennsylvania, with its 32 electoral votes. The Pennsylvania welcoms was doubly satisfactory to the vice president after a day ha York that found some of those who listened to his standard campaign speech not so responsive as they have been elsewhere.

Nixon said in his Philadelphia speech that the Republicans had "initiated in 1957 the first civil rights law enacted hi 80 years." He did not mention that Northern Democrats had-provided the margin of congressional votes for enactment of this statute. AT CINCINNATI, Kennedy also cheered by the crowds he has been drawing, turned to a subject on which there has been precious little cheering in this country lately: Fidel Castro and Cuba. Kennedy spent most of the day working on the speech ha will make at a fund-raising dinner. But members of his staff couldn't say whether he considers this a major address or whether he will offer his solution to one of this nation's most troubling problems. So far Kennedy has been critical of the way the Republican administration has dealt with uba, but he hasn't spelled out what he will do if he is elected President.

It was an exceptionally quiet day, by Kennedy standards.
