Candidates or 'Auto Show'? Senator Previews Demo 'Models' LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP)-Sen. Kenneth B. Keating (R-NY) Saturday gave what he called a sneak preview of the 1960 Democratic National Convention, in automotive terms. In a talk prepared for a Republican Lincoln Day dinner, Keating compared five major Democratic presidential possibilities with exhibits at an auto show.

"I'd like to give you a 'sneak preview' of the Democratic models which seem likely to attract the most interest and attention at Los Angeles next July," he said. He listed the five as Senate Majority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson (D-Tex), Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D-Minn), Sen.

John F. Kennedy, (D-Mass), Sen. Stuart Symington (D-Mo), and Adlai Stevenson. Cabin May Hold Key to Murder In Van Rie Trial By ARTHUR EVERETT BOSTON (AP) The cabin aboard the Dutch freighter Utrecht occupied by Lynn Kauffman on a leisurely trip from Singapore to Boston may hold the key in the trial of the man accused of slaying the petite American girl. The cabin -No.

7-is the object of careful scrutiny by officials of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts who have charged Willem Van Rie with first-degree murder in the death of Lynn last Sept. 18. Van Rie's trial was in weekend recess Saturday, after three days of court sessions last week. It resumes Monday in Suffolk County Superior Court. The handsome, blue-eyed seafarer is accused of beating Lynn into helplessness the night of Sept.

18 as the Utrecht was leaving Boston. The body of the 23-year-old American beauty, divorcee daughter of a Chicago manufacturer, then was consigned overboard, and she drowned, officials claim. Van Rie and Lynn were shipboard lovers, the state claims. Lynn had most of her belongings packed the night of Sept. 18, for the next day she was duet to leave the ship in New York and thus end a 45-day voyage home from the Orient, where she had been doing research.

Some -the state says it was Van Rie-is presumed to have entered Cabin 7 and joined Lynn sometime before 7 p.m. Sept. 18. Sometime after 9 a fellow passenger, seeking Lynn, found the stateroom empty. The next day the girl's was found washed ashore on an island in Boston Harbor.

The state has yet to divulge its version of the motive behind Lynn's slaying. But in statements attributed to Van Rie-and later repudiated by him authorities said Lynn had provoked an argument. What, she demanded, did Van Rie intend to do if, after the voyage was over, she found herself pregnant? He was said to have dismissed her anxiety curtly and unpleasantly. Then, authorities quoted Van Rie as saying that "she got excited and came at me, and I slugged her." University Alumnus Elected head Of National Plant Food Institute Paul T. Truitt, Washington, D.

Communists are bent on destroying freedom, he said, "and they are succeeding right on our very doorstep." The 85-year-old Hoover, in an address prepared for a luncheon meeting of United Presbyterian Men, a lay organization, said more Christian leaders need to recognize and resist "the spread of the Karl Marx virus." "This infection creeps through our nation by deluded and misled men and by disguised organizations, fronts and cults," he said. "These agents of infection are like hermit crabs which crawl into such terms as 'public electric power', 'managed 'the welfare state' and others." He said the nation faces "six dangerous crises," including: international Communist imperialism, Marxist infection at inflation, faltering foreign trade, corrupt labor power, a slump in American morals.

"The American way of life has proved to be pretty tough," he said. "It needs to be even tougher right now. "I have lived a long life, and I have seen our nation rally, exert its strengths to surmount dangers as great as those which beset us now." Hoover, the country's 31st president, offered this summary of perils: "We have in the Communist nations implacable eiemies, whose determination- despite their disguises of peaceful cooperation-is to destroy and dominate the free world. "And they are succeeding at our very doorstep. "We are not only plagued with their conspiracies, but with the infection of Karl Marx in both the thinking of our people and the actions of our own government.

"We are in a crisis of inflation which steadily saps the earnings and savings of our people. "We are in a crisis in our foreign trade--in which competition and an unfavorable trade balance cause the flight of our capital from fear of the stability of the dollar. "We are in a crisis of the domination of some labor unions by hoodlums: and the use of their gigantic funds to influence elections. "We are in the midst of an increasing moral slump as witness the increase in major known crimes." However, Hoover said. the nation is now 184 years old, "older than any other great representative government in history," and has demonstrated the strength to survive distress.

The former president said, "We have gone through seven wars, with series of crises before and after each one. have gone through three great inflations, with crises before and after. We have gone through the inevitable depressions from the inflations, 1 with accompanying crises. We have gone through a dozen crises of corruption in Yet, he added, the Bill of Rights still stands, and "we are well fed, well clothed, fairly well housed, and we have the right to kick about any crisis." As "signs of our moral and spiritual strength," Hoover cited the American overseas aid programs after both world wars, and said the aid kept 1,400,000,000 people from perishing. He cited growth in American voluntary religious, charitable and community welfare organizations, expanded education which "has practically abolished illiteracy, increased higher education and great advances in medical science.

can well respect the accomplishments of Russian technicians." he said. "But let us not forget that they obtained the telegraph, the telephone, the electric lamp, the speaking sound track, the radio broadcast tube, the airplane, atomic and nuclear power from us."

Superiors Slow Sub Progress, Rickover Says By EDWIN B. HAAKINSON WASHINGTON (AP) Vice Adm. Hyman G.

"We must maintain our lead in atomic submarines and nuclear propulsion," Rickover said. don't, we will give up 10 years of advantage, and that is what I'm afraid is going to happen to us because of the vast amount of interference to which my organization is subjected." Rickover, sometimes called the father of the atomic submarine, appeared recently before the Senate Space Committee and preparedness subcommittee. His testimony, given in secret, was made public Saturday after being screened for security reasons. Asked about the over-all contest between the Soviet Union and this country, Rockover replied: "'We are ahead of them now technologically, but as far as the rate of progress is concerned they definitely are of us." "I am frightened by what appears to be a tendency in some quarters to prefer letting this country sink to second place," he said. "We cannot afford to be second in anything that affects our security.
