In an editorial, the news

while DR.. Peale's column is

Candidate Unveils
His Farm Program

the cost-price squeeze on farm
erS; "a crash" agricultural
research program to expand
markets and find new uses for
agricultural products, and the
creation of a council of working
farmers to advise the President
on farm programs.
Turns From World Issues
The Vice President turned to
the farm problem after nearly
a week Of campaigning through
the Midwest and Border States
on the international situation
and assailing Senator Kennedy
for what he called rash state
ments on foreign policy and
defense.
At a Rockford GllO rally last
night, Mr.. Nixon shifted his
attack and accused the Demo-
cratic nominee of advocating
repeats of the depression
born ideas of the 1905"
Comments by my opponents,
as well as his spokesmen, on
economic conditions" Mr.. Nix
on said, seem to be a part and
parcel of their strategy Of talk
ing down Americas strength. {"
He said his rival leaves the
impression that the United
States is one vast depressed
area and that he is "obsessed
with finding weaknesses"
With a challenge to Senator
Kennedy's contention that the
Soviet Union is showing a
faster economic growth, Mr..
Nixon said Russia is where the
United States was in the $780,
1920 period of economic growth
and the American economy is
producing now at twice the
rate of the Soviets.
Mr.. Nixon spoke before a
capacity audience of about
5000 in the Rockford armory
after a 750-mile campaign day
by plane and auto caravan in
Missouri and Illinois. He went
to Beloit, Wis, before en-
planning for the blowing meet.

they were definitely for Vice
President Nixon. One man,
who said he was still unde-
cided, remarked: "Kennedy's q
nice young fellow. I don't like
his stand on labor, but he said
some good things today. If
he'd do what he said he would,
he might be all right"
Senator Kennedy began his
l8-hor campaign day in Fort
Dodge, Iowa, where a crowd
that seemed at least as large
as the city's $4,000 population
followed his car, Pied-Piper
like, down the main street tc
a rally in the public park.
From there he few to Sioux
Falls for an airport reception
during which Chief Bob Bur-
nett of the Sioux adopted Sen
ator Kennedy into the tribe
and conferred upon him the
name, Chief Eagle. The cere-
monial headdress that went
with the name rested on the
Kennedy locks for about three
seconds before 1t was firmly
removed by the candidate.
After his talk at the blowing
contest. Senator Kennedy few

a capacity crowd of 5000 was

He told the 1,500 hardy hold
outs in a crowd that police said
had been twice as big two hours
earlier, "I think my scheduling
chief thinks the election is Oc-
tober 8, rather than Novem-
ber g."
Two hours later he was in
Billings. Mont, greeting an
other shivering airport crowd
and then going on to address
$500 people at a conference of
power and water consumers.
With officers of the Ameri-
can Public Power Association,
the National Rural Electric Co.
operatives Association, the Ma
tional Farmers Union and the
United Auto Workers leading
the applause from the stage,
Senator Kennedy pledged to
reverse the administration
policy of no new starts" and
launch a broad Federal pro-
gram Of resource development.
Il do not say that only Fed
eral funds and Federal plan
ming can do the job" he said.
State, local and private effort
will be needed as well. But
we are talking about resources
that belong to the public
about projects that are essen
tial to our security. And unless
the Federal Government is
going to lead, this Nation is
going to be left behind"

countered yesterday were not

People Are Uneasy

Nixon after spending most Of
Thursday outlining his pro-
grams for agriculture and
natural resources.
He and his aides were we'll
satisfied with audiences he
drew in generally Republican
territory, and were particularly
pleased by the response to his
key farm speech at the Ma
tional Flowing Contest outside
Sioux Falls, S. OAK.
Some $4,000 people stood in
a drizzle as the Senator out
lined his plan for bringing
farmers incomes up to city
standards through strict mar
keting controls and a variety
of Government subsidies.
His talk was interrupted by
applause seven times-a good
showing before a normally un-
demonStrative farm audience.
Quick interviews with men
who heard him found favora-
BILE reactions to his talk voiced
by 10 Of 13 farmers. Most of
the 10 indicated they had def
nitely made up their minds to
vote for him.
In fact, eight of them said
they had decided how to cast
their votes even before hear
ing Senator Kennedy. There's
no choice for farmers" one OF
them said. We've just got to
have a change.

Not so, he said. To preach

Not Impressed by Insults

insults or even resolutions.

peace-just as they will never

Then the Senator turned to
the contention that to call for
greater effort and greater
strength is to sell America
short. "I do not equate criti-
cism of Republican leadership
with criticism of our country"
he said.
1T is those who are satisfied
with things as they are-those
who think we have reached our
limit-those who are afraid to
ask the American people for
greater effort and sacrifice
who are in reality selling
America short. 1t is they who

of clear and constructive think
ing. . If we are to make
enduring, constructive progress
in agriculture, we have to put
aside self:serving politicking
that for so many years has
gotten in the way"
In what seemed to be criti-
cism leveled both at Secretary
Benson and Democratic farm
leaders, Mr.. Nixon said:
II believe our present con-
gressional deadlock has
resulted from insistence, on the
one hand, that we move toward
more normal conditions at a
speed and by means that would
have failed adequately to pro-
tect farmer income in the period
OF transition; and, on the other,
from inSistence on political pro-
grams that would have stunted
markets and required al
most day-to-day control of the
farmer by the Federal Govern
ment."
Follows Rockefeller Accord
In asking for an expansion
of the soil bank program, due
to expire in January, Mr.. Nixon
suggested voluntary retirement
of land with fair rentals for
periods of three to 10 years"
This provision follows the
agreement worked out between
Mr.. Nixon and New York Gov.
Nelson Rockefeller just before
the Republican National Con-
vention. About % million acres
are now in the soil bank.
While he specified no level
of price supports, Mr.. Nixon
already is on record as favor
ing 80 per cent of parity for
tobacco, and a higher level for
dairy products as approved by
the Democratic-controlled Con-
gress in its closing session.
Once the problem of SurpluSes,
estimated now at SO billion, has
been disposed of, Mr.. Nixon
said, I'VE should move to a
long-term price-support Sys-
tenn with levels based on an
average of market prices over
the Immediately preceding

items haven't long since been

For instance. listed as es-

and charts. The section on
anchors might have included
a brief discussion on the hold

perhaps a chart on the
of manila versus ny

AS for the compass, too many
new boatmen have an idea
they can buy a compass and
be all set to navigate. A brief
of variation and
deviation and advice on set
ting up a deviation table might
be in order.
Next there is a very good
chapter on the boatman's
responsibilities, including the
rules of the road, the penalties
for recklessneSs or negligence
and advice on what to do in
case of an accident. Boats now
must stop and render aid and
written reports are necessary
in case of loss of life. serious
injury or damage in excess Of
$100.
Also good is a chapter on
water safety. including anchor
ing and docking and water
skiing. Recommended signals
for water skiers are illustrated.
A section on the weather
covers storm signals and there
is a useful table on reading
the barometer. After this there
is a chapter on sailboats, row.
boats and canoes, giving the
light requirements and safety
hints.

man is overheard, there is a
