WASHINGTON (A>) _ Sen.
Barry Goldwater and Gov. Nel
son A. Rockefeller seek votes
Tuesday in two primary elec
tions, but their eyes are on the
test coming up Friday in Ore
gon.
Rockefeller, governor of New
York, is the only entry in West
Virginia’s Republican presiden
tial primary Tuesday.
And Goldwater, senator from
Arizona, is the only presidential
contender on the ballot in Ne
braska’s GOP primary. Write-
in vote campaigns have been
waged for Ambassador Henry
Cabot Lodge and, belatedly, for
Rockefeller and former Vice Pres
ident Richard M. Nixon.
Write-in votes are not counted
in West Virginia. With no oppo
sition there, Rockefeller was busy
campaigning in Oregon.
Goldwater, who cut down
his Oregon campaigning last
month, scheduled a one-day cam
paign swing in Nebraska.
With no major contests between
presidential hopefuls or candi
dates for other offices, Repub
lican voter turnouts in both states
are expected to be fairly light.
The 14 Republican convention
delegates to be chosen in West
Virginia’s primary are not bound
by the outcome of the preference
vote, and they are not slated or
pledged to any candidate.
Six district delegates will be
chosen in Nebraska, and they
likewise are not bound to the pri
mary winner, although most of
the delegate-candidates have said
they favor Goldwater. Ten at-
large delegates will be chosen at
a state convention June 1.
Voters in both states also will
choose delegates to the Demo
cratic convention. They are ex
pected to vote for President
Johnson, although his name is
not on the ballot in either state.
Also at stake Tuesday are nom
inations for senator and governor
in both states.
Hottest race appears to be a
four-way fight for the Demo
cratic gubernatorial nomination in
West Virginia. Former State
Commerce Commissioner Hulett
C. Smith is the pre-election fa
vorite. Gov. William W. Barron
cannot succeed himself.
Favored to win the GOP nom
ination in a political comeback
is Cecil H. Underwood, who eight
years ago was elected governor
at the age of 33. Four years ago
he lost a bid for a Senate seat.

WRONG
It is a proud moment when the
latest achievement of the U. S.
aircraft industry is rolled into the
sunlight out of the depths of
the assembly hanger. Unfortun
ately, the efforts of many short
sighted people have succeeded in
delaying the completion of the
first XB-70 by almost two years.
The XB-70 is a revolutionary
aircraft designed for speeds up
to 2000 miles an hour. It is a
hugh aircraft, weighing 250 tons,
built of titanium and steel, and
has cost $1.3 billion for its de
velopment.
Conceived a number of years
ago as a backup for the inter
continental missiles, the luckless
aircraft became the center of a
controversy that resulted in a
drastic slowdown of its develop
ment—a slowdown that threatens
to cost the U. S. its leadership
in the world aircraft industry.
Many people, including mem
bers of Congress, were against
the hugh expenditure for the XB-
70’s development because they
felt that the project would be
a needless duplication of the na
tion’s ICBM system. They seem
ed not to appreciate the fact that
the development of the XB-70
would furnish valuable experi
ence and data for future civil air
craft.
There is now a better than even
chance that either the English
and French or the Russians will
be operating supersonic airliners
long before the United States has
completed its first prototype.
How has this situation come
about ? It came about mainly be
cause of the high development
cost involved in building a super
sonic airliner, and because of the
highly competitive nature of the
airline industry today.
For the first time in history
a civil airliner is to be built that
will exceed the performance of
any present conventional mili
tary aircraft, excepting perhaps
the A-ll. It has been almost

traditional that the construction
and operation of civil aircraft
benefited from experience of al
ready developed military types.
Unfortunately the logical mili
tary aircraft that would have pro
vided the needed experience for
development of the American SST
is the belated B-70. Had the
B-70 program gone ahead full
pace the United States would not
be faced with the dilemma it has
today.
The dilemma is this: The An
glo-French Concorde project is
well on its way, with deliveries
slated to begin in the very early
seventies. The Concorde will be
a Mach 2 aircraft, which means
that conventional materials can
be used for its construction. It is
logical to assume that they could
beat the United States in intro
ducing this transport on the high
ly competitive transatlantic route.
The one possible way to get
our coals out of the fire can be
too leapfrog development of the
Mach 2 transport and develop a
Mach 3 version that will put the
European Concorde into obsoles
cence before it has much of a
chance to gain inroads in the
transatlantic market. Competi
tive world airlines, knowing that
a successful American Mach 3
transport is around the corner,
might be reluctant to invest in a
Mach 2 aircraft.
This will require an immense
effort on the part of the Ameri
can aircraft industry, but if the
B-70 program is stepped up, and
experience from the A-ll is uti
lized we might just rescue
ourselves from an embarrasing
position.
UNITED NATIONS (A>) — The
United States was reported Mon
day to have reached the conclu
sion that there will be no signifi
cant shift in favor of seating
Red China at the next session of
the U. N. General Assembly.
Authoritative sources said U.S.
officials now feel that France’s
recognition of the Peking regime
in January this year will have
little effect on the assembly vote
when the question of China repre
sentation comes up in the fall.
U. S. sources indicated that
France has made no effort to in
fluence the countries friendly to
it.
Last fall 41 nations voted in
favor of seating Peking, 57
against and 12 abstained. India
and the Soviet Union were
among the original boosters of
Red China but exerted themselves
very little last year.
U. S. sources blame the indif-
erence to Peking on several fac
tors.
There is concern, the sources
said, over what they view as
the aggressive attitude of the
Peking regime in its ideological
split with the Soviet Union.
Western officials are pointing
out the danger of a complete
paralysis of the Security Council
by vetoes if Red China is seated.
Informed quarters said the
United States still stands by its
position that, if the Soviet bloc
fails to pay its overdue assess
ments for the middle East and
Congo operations, a U. N. char
ter provision should be invoked
suspending their voting privi
leges.

AUSTIN (A*) — Executive com
mittees of the state democratic
and republican parties meet here
Tuesday to count the May 2 pri
mary votes and officially declare
the winners or runoff candidates
for state and district offices.
The State Democratic Commit
tee meets at 11 a.m. and the State
Republican Committee at 2 p.m.
The votes were canvassed by
county committees last week
and the state canvass is general
ly a tabulation of the county
totals.
The unofficial totals, as col
lected by the Texas Election
Bureau, were announced Sun
day. The election bureau totals
showed a record 1,631,535 votes
in the Democratic primary,
slightly more than half the esti
mated qualified voters. The
election bureau showed about
141,500 voters in the Republican
primary, a record vote for that
party in any first primary.
Informed sources said Rusk
sought to learn from Nogueira
Portugal’s intentions about the
future of Angola, Mozambique
and Portuguese Guinea. Rusk
was reported to have told him
Portugal should at some point
be willing to grant self-determi
nation to the African colonies.
The United States wants its
allies to join in a virtual trade
embargo of the Castro regime.
It particularly opposes the re
cent sales of British buses and
French locomotives to Cuba on
state-guaranteed credit.
There were some signs Rusk
may be on the verge of persuad
ing the British to check their
trade with Cuba, but sources
said there had been no concrete
development along this line.
On South Viet Nam, the United
States wants its allies to provide
some help to bolster the moral
of the people, such as sending
nurses or technicians. This would
make the Vietnamese feel less
isolated, it was felt.

THE HAGUE (A*)—Secretary
of State Dean Rusk sought Mon
day night to mobilize members
of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization behind U.S. efforts
to choke Cuba’s economic life and
help Communist-menaced South
Viet Nam.
With quiet diplomacy on the
eve of the NATO ministerial
meeting, Rusk also moved to
forestall a rupture of the North
Atlantic alliance’s southeastern
flank, urging Greece and Turkey
to come to terms quickly over
Cyprus.
