Soviets may monitor U.S. spacecraft too
By Dick West
WASHINGTON (UPI)—When the Soviet Union launches a spacecraft, U.S. scientists monitor its signals to see what the Russians are up to.
(UPI Columnist)
By the same token we may assume that the Soviets are keeping close tabs on the Apollo 7 flight.
Having never been inside a Soviet monitoring station, I cannot say what one looks like. But in mind's eye I see a huge
Famed 'Strip' Has Bad Case of Hippieitis
LOS ANGELES (UPI) — The famed Sunset Strip, once the gala night life center for the movie stars, has virtually been taken over by the hippies after dark.
As a result property values have plummeted, retail sales have dropped 30 per cent, police costs have increased more than 100 per cent and the county is losing millions each year in tax revenue.
The inroads of the hippies and other young persons began in 1965.
Since that time arrests have increased 250 to 500 per cent. A large number of these are for violations of which 87 per cent involve persons 17 to 24 years of age.
A financial institution estimates its properties in the area have gone down $500,000 in value.
Businessmen on the strip blame court decisions regarding the laws as making enforcement almost impossible.
Carl Victor, president of the West Hollywood Realty Board, said:
"We learned that as long as a hippie is not blocking the sidewalk—that is if you can walk over him or around him—he is within the law.
Ike doesn't like his grandson's shaggy locks
SALINA, Kan. (UPI)—David Eisenhower implied yesterday that his famous grandfather does not approve of the length of his hair, which is fashionably long, but rates politics as more important than conformity to adult custom.
David, who stopped here with Julie Nixon enroute to Abilene, boyhood home of former President Dwight D. Eisenhower, said "usually when I talk to my grandfather he tells me to get my hair cut, but two weeks ago when I saw him he told me to do all I can for Nixon."
You David's hair is considerably longer than a military-type cut and considerably shorter than the collar-dragging locks effected by some young men.

electronic console with numerous dials and buttons, and little blips of light chasing each other across a glass screen.
Seated at the control panel and wearing a pair of earphones is Lt. Igor Coricidinski. He is auditing the signal, which makes a steady "beep-beep-beep" sound except when the Apollo starts a tracking maneuver.
New Signal
Suddenly Coricidinski leans forward and cocks his head to one side. After listening intently for a moment, he calls to Col. Vladimir Distranovitch, the station commander.
Dristanovitch hurries to the console and says "Did it go 'been-bee-QUEEP' AGAIN?"
Then the screen skips a blip and the signal goes "beep-beep-queep."
Comrade Colonel: "Would you step over here, please? I have just picked up a strange signal from the Apollo."
"No, it went . . . wait! I just heard it again. See if you can pick it up on the Gimbel-Macy LSD-21 alternate monitor."
The colonel quickly dons a pair of earphones.
"I heard it, too," he says. "The signal was a distinct "beep-beep-ach-choo."
"What do you make of it, sir?"
"It sounded like . . . well, it sounded like a sneeze."
“Our polls show that we are leading in every state,” said Nixon, “but we're not going to be over-confident.”
Approximate Measure
"But what does it mean, sir?
Why would the Americans be sneezing in space?"
"For propaganda purposes, most likely. This gives the Americans another 'space first'-the first space cold."
Nixon said he hopes "Operation Extra Effort" will give the Republicans eight to 14 new Senate seats, 30 to 40 new seats in the House and nine to 14 new governorships.
Approach Measure
"That also was my impression, Comrade Colonel. What should we do?"
"I suppose we should say 'Gesundheit?' "
"Are you sure it isn't some kind of germ warfare experiment? Maybe they are spreading cold germs in space in hopes that our cosmonauts will develop the sniffles."
In addition, he said, he will "whistle stop" through the key states of Ohio and Pennsylvania "by car, plane and train" during the final days of the race with Democrat Hubert H. Humphrey and third party candidate George Wallace.
"Have no fear of that, lieutenant. Our cosmonauts are protected against cold germs on every mission."
Nixon plans effort for campaign finish
"A secret vaccine developed by Soviet scientists?"
"No. They take along a jar of homemade chicken soup."
KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. (UPI)
—Richard M. Nixon, claiming he is ahead in every major state,
said today he will go into a high gear "Operation Extra Effort"
during the last weeks of the presidential campaign, hoping to win a Republican sweep in November.
"This is going to be the biggest finish in American political history," Nixon told a news conference. He said he plans 10 nationwide radio broadcasts of 15 minutes each during the final days of the campaign, and will appear on a four-hour, primetime television broadcast Nov. 2, the Saturday before the election
Won't Debate
CAMPUS BEAUTY SHOPPE
Nixon also told the news conference that he still has no plan to appear in any joint debate with Wallace and Humphrey. He predicted that Wallace would "get no more than 15 per cent of the vote on election day."

WASHINGTON (UPI) -Diplomatic sources said yesterday the United States appeared to be moving cautiously toward eventual recognition of the military junta that has sized power in Panama.
The State Department, they said, probably would announce suspension of relations with Panama, which would have the legal effect of ending its recognition of ousted President Arnulfo Arias, who has taken refuge in the U.S. Canal Zone.
The United States in consulting with other nations of the Western Hemisphere and undoubtedly will await action by three or four of them before Washington moves. This is customary U.S. procedure in such cases.
The KU University Theatre, in conjunction with the German department, will present two performances of the German touring group, Die Brucke, today and tomorrow.
US may plan recognition of Panama military regime
The tentative decision that the United States would have to sooner or later do business with the new regime, headed by provisional President Jose Maria Pinilla, was made when it became apparent that Arias did not have enough support to regain power.
The outcome of the power struggle in Panama comes at a particularly critical time for the United States, since negotiations are underway between the two governments over the future
German comedy today
Die Brucke, which means "The Bridge," will perform Lessing's comedy, "Minna von Barnhelm" today, and Max Brod's dramatization of Franz Kafka's "The Castle" ("Das Schloss"), tomorrow. Both productions are in German.

terms of operation of the canal and the possibility of digging a new sea-level waterway through that country.
Panama has been insisting on a watering down of the unlimited U.S. control of the Canal Zone, and more favorable financial terms. The issue has become entangled in the explosive nationalism upsurge in Panama, in which Communist agents are alleged to have had some hand.
