sseampaigned with negativism,
falling the American people by
refusing to lay out before them
worthwhile programs -"
BY contrast, Mr.. Nixon said.
he had set out constructive
programs" in many fields. in
Guiding his suggestion for send
ing President Eisenhower and
former Presidents Hoover and
Truman on goodwill missions
behind the Iron Curtain next
year in return for visits Of
leaders of Russia's satellite
countries.
This was proposed by Mr..

les for his Alaskan visit, COM
pleting a campaign in every
State. It was Immediately re-
jected by Senator Kennedy and
Mr.. Truman.
Despite chilly weather, three
or four thousand greeted Mr..

rived at the airport for . six
hour visit in Detroit that in
cluded a four-hour question:
and-answer session on O Ma
tion-wide television program, ?
Unusual security precautions
were in effect for Mr.. Nixon's
final visit to Michigan where
he was the target Of tomatoes
and eggs and some abusive
language at three places during
his recent whistle-stop tour
through the State.
Tight MOtorcade Escort
About Is Detroit motorcycle
officers formed a tight escort for
the Nixon motorcade into town.
Two policemen were on guard
at every overpass as the motor
cade rolled along the freeway
from the airport, and people
were halted at each end. Po-
lice indicated they were not
taking any chances on the day
before the election.
In his statement reviewing
his own campaign pledges and
attacking those Of Senator
Kennedy, Mr.. Nixon said:
HE voices his concern for
the people and then advocates
a Niagara Of spending which
would in the end either raise
their taxes or prices, or both,
and would cheaper their in
surance policies, pensions and
social security. /
HE has advanced a program
for Latin America which would
in the end make the United
States a Pariah in this hemi-
sphere and could start a war.
"He issued a statement that
he would defend the dollar, but
it is meaningless in the light
Of his continued loyalty to the
Los Angeles platforms spend
ing program and loose-money
declaration. +
HE has come up with a notion
for excusing young men from
the draft in favor of vague
service overseas.
He has offered a monstroslty
Of a farm program that would
straitjacket farm families, Gre
ate unemployment and raise
food prices in the stores by IS
per cent.
"He has offered a package of
retreads.
"He has campaigned with
negativism, failing the Ameri-
can people by refusing to lay
out for them worthwhile pro-
grams in major fields which
for two months I have been
discussing in frankness and
detail"
First Crowds Sparse
In heavily Democratic Wayne
County the street crowd was
sparse until Mr.. Nixon's motor
cade reached the downtown
area. Starting at Grand Circus
Park. along Detroit's Woodward
street and at Cadillac Square
and on to the Ford Auditorium
there was a cheering, confetti
throwing reception from people
massed two and three deep on
each side of the street.
The auditorium was filed to
capacity of nearly 5000 and
broke into loud cheers when Mr..
Nixon, his wife and the children
walked onto the platform. A
crowd estimated at 1000 was
outside the auditorium.
Despite polls indicating his
rival is ahead, Mr.. Nixon told
the Detroit audience "a great
tide is running ollr way" He
was interrupted with applause
as he repeatedly scored Senator
Kennedy for his foreign policy
views and said the Republican
ticket can best keep the peace
and advance freedom.
At his Madison stop, Mr..
Nixon got o rousing welcome
from a crowd, estimated un-
officially at $500, which
turned out for an airport rally
in weather with snap of win
ter in it. The ground was white
with frost as Mr.. and Mrs.
Nixon came down the ramp
from their big jet airliner.
Only a small portion of the
crowd that jammed Traux Air
Force Base was able to get into
the hangar where Mr.. Nixon
spoke. Loud speakers carried
his words to those standing out
side or sitting in cars in the
parking lots. Police officials
estimated the overall crowd
at the field at $500.
