DR.. Harold E. Fey, editor OF

DR.. Fey said he has not de-

Democrat and a Catholic, and
Vice President Nixon, a Repub-

Il think If I were a Catholic

Mr.. Nixon said the Demo-

failed to act on administration
proposals to provide Federal
aid to communities trying to in
tegrate schools. He said Con-
gress refused to give adequate
funds for the committee de-
signed to END racial discrimi-
nation in employment under
Government contracts. He
noted that Democrats at the
recent special session opposed
a broader civil rights bill.
Senator Kennedy COM
planned that Mr.. Nixon ne
elected to answer two basic
questions: What is going to
be done and what will be his
policy on implementing the
Supreme Court decision of
1854? What is he going to do
to provide fair employment"
He said MIR. Nixon also has
not taken a clear-cut stand on
whether he would support the
proposed Title III to the Civil
Rights Act to give the At
torney General much broader
authority to protect civil rights
He noted that only six voting

by the Attorney General under
the 1857 Civil Rights Act and
the bill passed last summer.

1t was, however. on two small
islands in the Pacific where
the issue was most sharply
drawn. Senator Kennedy. asked
about the defense of Quemoy
and Matsu, with liberal quo
tations from the military. said
that it was his judgment that
"our lines should be drawn in
the sea around the island (For-

Vice President Nixon, hasty
for once, expressed a seeming
indifference to the fate Of the
people on those troublesome

saying they are not too i'm

But his response was the
strongest disagreement of the
evening. I'VE should not force

as President of the United

Nixon Leading
SaysHaII

Republican Campaign Chair
man Leonard w. Hall today
said television debates are
pointing up the basic differ
ence between Senator Kennedy
and Vice President Nixon:
Gloom and. doom" versus
confidence in America"
Mr.. Hall charged at a news
conference that Senator Ken
nedy's attitude is almost de-
featist," and discloSeS almost
a lack of faith in the capacity
of America" BY contrast, he
said. Mr.. Nixon has displayed
his confidence experience
qualifications"
1t will be hard for the DEM
ocratS to ''sel the line of gloom
and doom" when the Nation Is
prosperous at home and ain

said.

Polls and other reports from
the field indicate that Mr..
Nixon is ahead in the cam
paign, Mr.. Hall continued, de-
claring that everything looks
good" He specifically said the
Vice President leads Senator
Kennedy in California, New
York, Iowa, Illinois and Ohio.
About 10 to is per cent Of the
voters throughout the Nation
still are undecided, he esti-
mated.
Neither party is conceding
anything. Mr.. Hall said. He
predicted Mr.. Nixon will do at
least as well as President Eisen-
hover in the South.
The Republicans will cam
paign hard in every State. Mr.
Hall said, but will concentrate
on New York. California,
Texas, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan
and Pennsylvania. He said Mr..
Nixon will pay special atten-
ton to California, and Henry

Lodge Called Asset
While Mr.. Lodge is a great
asset to the ticket, Mr.. Hall
said, Senator johnson has
added no strength to the Dem
ocratic ticket in the South. He
said it was significant" that
Senator Kennedy did not men,

"And yet when the Soviet

you might say that they had
US in the wrong?"
Winding up a 22-hour West
ern Washington visit before

Mr.. Lodge also criticized SEN

garding the islands Of Quemoy

mainland.

Quemoy and Matsu on the
Communist side, he was MAX

to keep them (the Chinese
Communists) in doubt"
At an earlier news confer
ence, Mr.. Lodge said United
Nations Negro Leader Ralph
Bunche would make an excel
lent ambassador to the Soviet
Union. He urged greater use OF
Negro diplomats in overseas
posts.

possible evidence that the

DEBATE

Continued From First Page
came up pointedly for the first
time. Vice President Nixon
and Senator Kennedy were
poles apart on that issue.
The Democratic candidate
said the decision Of withdraw
ing from those islands was pri-
marily the responsibility of
Nationalist China. But he de-
clared he always has. thought
it unwise to take the chance
of being dragged into war that
would lead to a world war" over
the two small islands that are
hard TO defend and not essen
tial to the defense Of Formosa.
The Republican candidate
shot back that this was the
same kind Of woolly thinking
that led to disaster for America
in Korea"
Fears Chain Reaction
He contended that he thor
oughly opposed any course of
action that might force this
country's Nationalist China
allies on those islands. Such
a course would set OF a dan
gerous chain reaction, he
warned. He insisted that a
matter of principle was in
volved and transcribed the
Importance Of the people or the
size of those islands.
The very first question last
night sprang directly from
Senator Kennedy's speech the
night before in Cincinnati on
the Cuban situation. The Dem
ocratic nominee had blamed
Mr.. Nixon for a considerable
part Of a "glaring failure of
foreign policy" in permitting
the rise Of Castro.
Mr.. Nixon grimly denied this
charge and maintained that
Cuba has not been lost. Sena-
tor Kennedy replied that he
never said it was lost perma-
nently to the free world. He
amplif1ed his charge that Mr..
Nixon in particular and the
Eisenhower administration in
general had followed a policy
that encouraged the deSpotic
Batista regime. He warned
that continuation Of such a
policy would lead to still greater
trouble elsewhere in Latin
America.
Only Three DictatOrs Left
Mr.. Nixon noted that only
three dictators. including Cas-
tro. currently hold power in
Latin America whereas at the
end Of the Truman administra-
ton in 1858 there were IL. He
implied that Senator Kennedy,
as a member of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee
should have known better than
to say the Vice President when
in Cuba five years ago should
have called for free elections
there.
The debaters agreed in SUBJ
stance that neither, as Presi-
dent, should go to a summit
conference with Soviet Premier
KhruShchev without genuine
evidence that the Russians in
tended to negotiate in good
faith.
But they tangled on the sub
ject of the U-2 espionage plane
incident and whether President
Eisenhower should have "apol-
ogized or expressed regrets" to
Khrushchev.

said Senator Kennedy the Democratic presidential

that his statement on that mat
ter last May in Oregon has
been distorted by Mr.. Nixon
and Others" He held to his
position that it would have
been better to express regrets"
in accordance with customary
diplomatic procedure than to
permit the summit collapse. He
recalled that this country ex-
pressed diplomatic regrets last
winter to Cuba, and to Russia
in 1858. He said Russia and
Red China expressed regrets to
the United States in 1858 and
1856 for plane incidents.
Regrets Telling Of Lie
"U-2 flights were proper from
the point of view Of protecting
our security" he said, "but they
were not in accordance with
international law and I said /
felt that rather than tell the
lie we told, rather than to in
dicate that the flights would
continue, it would have been
better II we had expressed re-
gret. That would have saved
the summit conference"
Mr.. Nixon replied that Sena-
tor Kennedy was wrong in
thinking Mr.. Khrushchev would
have continued the conference
and in assuming the President
should express regrets to any
body in defending national
security. He promised he
never would let the United
States be put in a position
where, while we were negotiat-
ing with the Soviet Union,
that we discontinue our intel
ligence effort"
On domestic issues the two
candidates were far apart on
many basic problems and pro-
poSals. They were fairly close
together in saying they would
advocate tax cuts if a major
economic recession were threat
.ened. And they said they
would not hesitate to urge
higher taxes if necessary. They
both emphasized also that the
next four or eight years are
likely to be among the most
difficult in this country's his
tory and that spending for
defense, economic assistance
and other programs probably
would have to be greater.
Differ on Methods
The Vice President and Sen
ator. however, seldom saw eye
to eye on specific methods of
improving the national econ
omy and the extent to which
the Federal Government should
participate.
When Mr.. Nixon suggested
that I'VE concentrate first" in
trying to relieve economically
depressed areas, Senator Ken
nedy accused him of stating the
record "inaccurately." He re-
called that President Eisen-
hover twice vetoed a Demo
cratic-sponsored depresse
areas aid bill. He claimed this
measure would have done much
more good than the limited
bill he said the Republicans
proposed.
Questions on civil rights gave
both candidates an oppor-
tunity to discuss their views
more specifically than in the
first debate.
When Senator Kennedy
charged that the Eisenhower
administration has not done all
