Better Policy
By the Associated Press

Gov. Robert B. Meyner. DEM
ocratic Governor of New Jersey
says the man selected as his
party's presidential candidate
should campaign with "a posi-
tive approach and have a posi-
tive program"
Mr.. Meyner, appearing last
night on the CBS-TV program
Face the Nation" said that to
wage a successful campaign the
candidate should be prepared to
advance "a better policy" as well
as to criticize present admins
tration programs.
The Governor. replying to Re-
publican criticism Of foreign pol
icy attacks by Democratic lead
ers, said the G. o. P. made for
eign policy a campaign issue
"and played it to the high heay-
ems" in 1852.
Because of this. he added, u
think 1t is going to be an issue
In the coming campaign wheth-
er we like 1t or not"
Mr. Meyner acknowledged that
he found Adlai Stevenson "an
attractive candidate in 1881"
but he declined to say II he
favors the former Illinois Gov
ernor at present.
Mr.. Meyner was asked how
he felt about criticism by Gov.
G.. Mennen williams Of Michi-
gan and Gov. Avereli Hartman
of New York on Mr.. Stevenson's s
advocacy Of a moderate" ap-
proach in the presidential cam
paign.
1T think it would have been
better for Gov. Williams and
Gov. Hartman to discuss spe-
ciflc issues rather than to gen.
eralize about use of the word
moderation" the Governor re-
piled.

such. We are only interested

a question in the minds of
many school officials in Vir-

been some speculation that
organized efforts would be
made to have students appear
