It was in sharp contrast to hie bipartisan appeal for support of Republican candidates in his tele vision talk in Los Angeles Tues day night, opening a three-day tour of the big state.

Speaking in the city where the Atlas intercontinental ballistic missile is built, he said: “If there is a gap in missiles it ia a gap that was opened by the Truman administration and it is a gap that is being closed rapidly and ef fectively by the Elsenhower ad ministration." Nixon said the Tfuman admin istration canceled the Atlas pro gram in 1947 and delayed it in succeeding years.

Syrian Veep May Get Boot From EAR Post BEIRUT Lf—Sabri Assal i, one | of the two Syrian vice presidents of the United Arab Republic, is expected to be eased out of the government soon. Assail was Syria's last premier before the union with Egypt in the U.A.R. last February. He esme under fire during recent trials of former politicians in Iraq. The trials were carried out by the revolutionary Baghdad regime that destroyed the Iraqi monarchy July 14. Witnesses in the Iraqi trials ac cused Aasali of plotting with them to merge Syria and Iraq under a regime opposed to U.A.R. President Nasser. Informants say Nasser now will use this testimony as a pretext for removing Assali, who repre sents the old school of politicians and has acted as a brake on Nas ser’s reform plans for Syria. Cairo newspapers reported Sept. 21 that a sweeping administrative reorganisation in the U.A.R. was coming within a week. Since it has been delayed, rumors have it that some present ministerr may be dropped from the government when it is reorganized. Elimination of Assali would pre pare the Nasser government for an all-out move to introduce into Syria the same kind of reform regime Egypt has had since King Farouk was overthrown. Until now, Nasser has followed a go-slow policy in Syria. In the next few months, however, Syria is expected to feel the full effects of a Nasser type regime econom ically and politically.
