Lodge to Help Pick Up Slack For Nixon WASHINGTON (UPD Vice President Richard M. Nixon counted today on his running mate, Henry Cabot Lodge, to help take up the slack in the Republican campaign while Nixon recovers from a knee infection. Lodge will not replace Nixon in any of the three out-of-town campaign appearances the GOP presidential nominee had planned for the next week in Jackson, Charleston, W.Va., and New York City.

But Lodge, who will quit Saturday as United Nations ambassador, will hit the road Tuesday for four consecutive days of campaigning. Lodge's bookings for Tuesday and Wednesday may be announced today. He will appear in Worcester and Lowell, Mass. on Thursday and in Boston on Friday. Nixon was reported "progressing satisfactorily" from the knee infection which will keep him in Walter Reed Array Hospital for about two weeks.

Doctors said the vice president had no fever, a good appetite, and was in good general, physical condition, except for "some pain in his left knee." With Lodge ready for the campaign circuit, Nixon was making the best of his hospitalization by i a i drafts of future speeches and having long telephone consultations with his staff members. cPTiTin i c-Diviciiu JijloCiUlU Ci lolled Nixon for 45 minutes late Tuesday and discussed politics, legislation and foreign affairs.

The session was expected to end this week. The broad outline of Kennedy's first campaign tour had been announced earlier.

The details were released Tuesday. Texas was added to the earlier schedule. Kennedy will spend Thursday night in Boston and have a private breakfast there Friday morning. He then will tour Manchester, N.H., and Presque Isle, Bangor and Portland, Maine. The next day he will fly from Baltimore to San Francisco and then on to Anchorage, Alaska.

Dennis recommended to the commission members that they obtain land use information: study the functioning of the central business district, including parking and traffic; and obtain information on water sewer lines, quality of fire protection, and sewage disposal facilities. Chairman Pryde asked the commission members to study report of a zoning survey of Kittanning made in 1958 by the Pennylvana Economy League. The group adopted a set of bylaws and voted to request $50 frim borough council for stationery supplies and a minutes book.

Next meeting of the group will be held at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 27 in the borough building. i visiting the union committee there was "no need for a top level meeting at this moment" and added he felt no progress had been made. The two main issues in the dispute center around so-called "scope rules" involving the hiring by railroad of outside firms to build or repair equipment and the assignment of men in one Job classification to work temporar- cpy in another classification.

The union wants rigid job classification and an end to subcontracting, but the PRR charges this would serious hamper its ability to operate efficiently and economically. James W. Oran, vice president in charge of employe relations, said it would cost the railroad $2.5 million a year to meet the union demands. He said that "concessions" already made by the line would total nearly $1 million of that amount.

Harmony Expects (Continued from Page One) Frank said the PUC-approved rate increase was only a "stop gap" and would not compensate the firm for more than $250,000 it lost in the past three years.

Under the increase, all fares up to 70 cents will be boosted by a nickel and fares over that mark will be raised 10 cents.

An autopsy Tuesday disclosed that the victim, ex-convict Charlie Edward Davis, 27, had been shot in the head. But police declined to say whether Davis died from the bullet wound or from injuries in the crash. "He could certainly have been killed in the car accident," said homicide Sgt. W. C.

Barber. "He was torn up bad--real bad." Experience Calm Night Questioning of the white men, attendants at a service station about one block from the scene of the accident, began as Jacksonville experienced its calmest night in a half-week of racial tempests which have left some 70 persons injured and more than 150 arrested. The three men, whose identities were withheld, told police earlier they had fired a barrage of bullets at Davis' car as it sped by in a police chase. Their service station had been shot up in an earlier incident Tuesday morning. Barber said a coroner's Inquest probably.would be called into the incident which left companion, 47-year-old Willie Green, severely injured.

Question Police Officers There were no immediate plans a place charges, pending further questioning, authorities said. Statements also were taken from police officers who took part in chase of the stolen car Davis was driving, or were at the service station. The chase began when police officers, patrolling an area which lad been hit by vandalism and violence, asked Davis to stop. Instead, he sped away. A fusillade of bullets erupted from the service station as the cars whipped past, and the Negroes' vehicle served out of control and wrecked seconds later.

No gun was found in the car and officers found no bullet holes in the vehicle. Lawlessness Tuesday night appeared confined to vandalism in some Negro areas despite attempts by the NAACP to break up Negro gangs which have roamed the streets at night.
