I want the workers il control of the unions, not the labor bosses. I am afraid that the 1)(imocrats will strip the workers of SOIe of their rights. South Caro lina needs its right-to-work law. "On civil rights, I must make it clear that I am atn ardent segrega tionlist. I believe that the Repub licans ate more sincere ini the things that they say about this matter. They are more conservative; I feel that they present a smoother civil rights program. The DemocraLs present a1 crash program, one that will cause bad feelings on both sides. More Conservative "In genieral I feel that the Re publicans are more conservative thai the Democrats. They are more sincere. Then, too, look at their IcOr. I admire the quiet progress that they have made. "I won't even discuss the Counter foit Confederate candidate, who has the most liberal voting record of any Southern Congressman. His record is even more liberal than Sen. Kentedy's." Mickey Cline, president of the Youth for Nixon-Lodge, said that his orgainization has 260 members, not all of whom are active members. Everyone who signed at the Nixon table in Russell House earlier in the year is considered a member, he said.

Nixon, will be accompanied by his attractive wife Pat 'when he visits the Pal metto State next Thursday. It has often been said by those who know her, that Mrs. Pat Nixon is the perfect politician's wife. Pat Nixon was born on a truck farm in Nevada, with few of the comforts of a more well-to-do society. 11er parents died when she was a young girl and she had to begin work in the fields to care for her family. She worked on a large variety of jobs ranging from secretary to X-ray technician to earn money in order that she might attend college. She finally graduated from the University of Southern California and earned a teacher's certificate. She received a teach ing position on the staff of Whit tier High School in the home town of the Vice-President. Mrs. Nixon met her future hus hand while she was in small acting parts in the it o v i e industry. "With uncharacteristic impulsive ness, Mr. Nixon proposed the first night. With characteristic judi ciousness, she waited two full years before accepting," "News week" magazine commented. Pat and Dick Nixon were mar ried in a quiet Quaker ceremony which took place in .\lission Inn, R iverside California, when Pat was 27 years old. Pat Nixon's political education, like her formal schooling before it, was hard earned. In her husband's former campaigns, she ran the office, handed out literature on tlie streets, and attended as many as fifteen political meetings each day and night. II this caipaign, which is pos sibly the imost important of their lives, there is no evidence that she has slowed down. She has constantly been canaigning with the \'ice President. Mrs. Nixon is the mother of their two daucghtecs, 'Tricia, 141, acnd Julie, 12.

James F. Byrnes. Byrnes, the only South Carolinian to hold major positions in all three branches of the government, will in troduce Vice President Nixon to his Columbia audience next week. The former Congressman, Secretary of State. Supreme Court Justice, and GOVeIor - uports Nixon fmr the Presidency. The rol to famue. hono a Imd service was not an11 easy one for Iy res.

Mr. Nixon has made a frank admission that his wvife "was an Irish D emiocrat andl dlidn't become a Republican until after I was elected to Congress." No matter wv h i e h candlidate moves his family to the White House, it will be the first time that the happ)y voices of children have sounded in the plresidlent 's home since the (lays of former President TI h e o d o r e Roosevelt. This should result iln a somewhat less formal, friendly manner in the priesidential mansion.
