Grants $500 To
Reading Clinic

HAWKINS, Tex. - According
TO DR.. j. 0. Perpener, Executive
Wee President Of Jarvis Chris
tan College, the first matching
grant towards the improvements
of the reading laboratory has
been approved by the Minnie
Stevens Piper Foundation. Be
cause of the obvious value of
this program TO the immediate
area served by the college, the
amount to match this grant is
being sought by the college from
sources in this area.
Jarvis Christian College like
most Of the colleges throughout
The country has recognized the
dire need for improved reading
on The part of its students. For
the past two years the school has
conducted Iimifed reading inn
provement Program under the
supervision Of Mrs. Dorothy Nun,
70, who serves as reading and
speech specialist. The California
Achievement Test and the Science
Research Associates Diagnostic
Reading Test are used TO deter
mine the reading weaknesses Of
students. The weakness in the
program up TO this time has been
primarily in the lack Of equip
ment and materials which would
aid the students.
For this reason funds are being
sought to provide adequate equip
ment for the needed service
Equipment will include reading
PAGERS, calculators, perccntual-
span development slides. tachisto-
scopic shutters and several other
types of materials and texts. With
the college providing the labor,
the total cost for equipment is
approximately twice the amount
of the grant.

PhysicoLLyFi
By the Associated Press

The Defense Department
said today that the men and
women of the armed forces
generally are in fit shape.
In a report to the Presidents
Council on Youth Fitness, 1t
said individual members of the
military services are in good
physical condition and are as
mentally and morally fit to
carry on their duties as any
who have worn the uniform in
the past"
Moreover, there is every
reason to believe that morale
within the total force structure
is better today than at any pre-
viouS time" the report said.
Charles C. Finucane, Assist
ant Secretary of Defense for
manpower and personnel, said
the report was encouraging.
He added that it was highly
satisfying to note that "today's
man in uniform is in no sense
inferior to any who have ever
preceded him. He is, if any
thing, better trained and better
prepared"
The report itself said that
while the overall attitude to-
ward military service has i'm
proved and there is a definitely
satisfactory level of physical
fitness. it cannot be expected
that these levels would equal
those demanded in wartime.

Brandt Rejects
Red Demand
To Move Graham

BERLIN. Sept. % (AP).-
Mayor Willy Brandt's West
Berlin government today re-
fused a Communist demand to
move American evangelist Billy
Graham's big tent away from
the Little Iron Curtain" divid-
ing Berlin.
Communist Mayor Waldemar
Schmidt of East Berlin made
the demand in a letter to Mayor
Brandt. The tent is about 100
yards from the border, and Mr..
Graham's amplified voice can
be heard clearly in the Red
ruled part of the city.
Mayor Schmidt termed Mr.
Graham's meetings-which are
to continue for five more nights
"a gross provocation." He
said West Berlin authorities
would be responsible for the
consequences.
Mr.. Graham has been preach
ing for two nights to packed
audiences of 10000 and more.
A spokesman for Mayor
Brandt said: The city gov
ernment has no intention of
yielding to such demands.
If many visitors from the
Eastern sector come and the
Communists get nervous about
it, that is their affair"
Mr.. Graham preached this
morning to a capacity crowd
of young people brought by
their teachers from West Ber-
lin schools.

TeIevision Encounter With Nixon
Called Favorable for Democrat

Part of the Nixon problem
was the awkwardness of his
stance and movements. He
has an infected knee and he
struck the other one on the
car door as he entered the
television studios. possibly he
is favoring his bad knee and,
therefore, shows a lack of
physical grace which the
camera emphasizes.
Behind the bones is the
question of self-confidence.
Here Senator Kennedy won
hands down.
He set the pace of the
argument, such as it was. He
stated his position firmly and
keyed it securely to the Demo-
cratic Party, its majority and
its past Presidents. He was
polite to his rival; but he
never embraced him.
Many Democrats want more
fire and warmth from their
candidate, but none can COM
plain that he does not iden-
tify himself with them and
their aspirations. He was a
party man in his own way,
fully as much as Harry Tru-
man, in the historic TV de-
bate.
The Vice President has a
different and harder problem.

orthodox Republicanism, he

Personal Contoct With Voters Called
Strongest Factor for Candidates

Of strictly defensive rather
than offensive political war
fare-on both sides and all
the way. Basically, Mr..
Nixon. the Republican, was
/, fighting to keep Senator
Kennedy. the Democrat,
from running away with the
domestic economic and "wel-
fare" issues-from stamping
the G. o. P. as inept to lead
us in economic growth and
unconcerned about medical
insurance and all that.
Basically, Senator Kennedy
was fighting to prevent Mr..
Nixon from running away
with the peace issue"-from
stamping the G. o. P. under
Mr.. Nixon as the one party
able to stand up to Nikita
Khrushchev and to stay out
of war while doing it.
Each man, this correspond
ent thought, had some success
on these limited aims. But
one does not win ball games,
or political campaigns, just by
keeping the other fellow from
scoring any runs. So the net
of it was to indicate this:
This nationally televised de-
bate device is more likely to
contribute to the country's
incidental knowledge than to
stir the country's inner con-
victions toward either Nixon
or Kennedy.

supplement to the traditional

ON TOUR WITH VICE
PRESIDENT NIXON.-The
television work gave the can
didates for President a show
case, not a forum. The re-
suits, therefore, are largely
subjective, but some facts
can be stated with authority.
Senator John Kennedy's
managers are happy. Vice
President Richard Nixon's
handlers are apprehensive.
Part of the story is purely
physical.
The Democratic nominee
looks and is charming. His
movements have patrician
grace and the cruel cameras
are kind to his rounded face,
which refuses to betray cam
paign fatigue.
Mr.. Nixon decided months
ago that his pudgy look was
a handicap. He took to diet
and massage to tame his
jowls and heavyweight as
pect. But the camera picked
out bones and nerves; he
looked tired, and perspiration
he dared not touch betrayed
his intense inner concentra-
ton.
Republicans were calling in
to discover whether their
nominee was as tired as he
seemed. They were told he
was not. that the makeup
insisted upon by the tele-
vision experts was to blame.

The Debate Lacked Brass Tocks

flocked to mass meetings to
see and hear the candidates.
and usually this has con-
f1rmed a previous prejudice
or added to a preconceived
measure Of esteem. The radio
networks have carried the
speeches rather extensively
ever since the 1924 campaign.
TeleviSion has shown both
party candidates in action
ever since the 1914 campaign.
AS for particular issues, the
great debate" failed to deal
comprehensively with any of
them. A speech given over
entirely to the farm problem
would be listened to with in
tense interest for an hour by
a farm audience. An address
in simple terms devoted
wholly to the rise or fall in
the cost of living or to the
best way to promote self
reliance rather than Govern
ment control of everybody's
life would, If thoroughly COW

tween the two presidential
nominees than was possible
to derive from Monday

and aid the individual voter
more than the catch-as-

To go personally to Poca-

precincts. To keep in touch
with the interest and pressure
groups which, unlike the TV

Kennedy's Team Is Happy

swing vote which is vital in
big States and increasingly
more important in the South
and Midwest. He must pick
and choose a path.
His technique for solving it
is to identify himself with the
Kennedy goals for America
but to suggest that he and a
Republican Party under his
guidance can achieve them
without resorting to radical
or too costly methods. That
the "me-too" path is rough
and strewn with pitfalls, pre-
vious Republican presidential
candidates can testify.
Regular Republicans cringed
at the frequency with which
Mr.. Nixon said, II agree with
Senator Kennedy" though he
went on to explain that he
had better ways of reaching
the same goals. Nor are party
managers too happy over his
breach of the old political
rule that no candidate con-
cedes anything to his rival
and, if beaten, contends he
was robbed.
The question before Mr..
Nixon today is this: Has he
gone too far in his effort to
capture the independent
voters and disaffected Demo-
crats2 Will the sacrifice of his
rubicund vitality to a more
seemingly respectable image
pay off? His hackers are
seeking the answers today

This being true, we may
expect to see the SovietS seek
to counter Marshal Tito. and
a third force, with all efforts
to upset the economic and
political stability of the new
nations.
Nationalism has been de-
fined as political, intellectual,
and physical excesses in mo-
ton. Beset by problems of
poverty, unemployment, and
lacks of all kind, the politi-
cal leaders of the African
states may choose, when in
difficulty, to ride the wind.
None of them has efficient
internal forces or admins
trative bureaucracies. The
mines aren't worked, the
schools don't function. Tribal
warfare breaks out.
The Congo has provided a
good example of what not to
do.
The United Nations cannot
administer nations. 1t stops
with trusteeships.
But help can be given
through the United Nations.
And the Western powers,
having got what might be
called a second chance, can
not afford another failure.
If orderly evolution of these
nations into a third force is
possible, then there may
come solutions. If not, then
the Soviets will win.
