Stevenson
Blasts Nixon
InCuIiforniu

SACRAMENTO, Calf, Sept.
27 (AP) .-Adlai Stevenson told
a Democratic dinner at the
State fairgrounds last night it
would be dangerous to intrust
the presidency of the United
States in this nuclear age to
someone like Richard M. Nixon.
Mr.. Stevenson said Mr.. Nixon
deals with issues as though
they were playing cards-"to
be picked up or discarded in
order to improve his hand"
Thus Mr.. Stevenson opened a
week-long political tour of
California, home State of Re-
publican presidential nominee
Nixon, in behalf of Democratic
nominee John F. Kennedy.
The Democratic standard
bearer of 1852 and 1856 said
he is supporting Senator Ken
nedy with all my energy be-
cause I know he can give
America the kind of vigorous,
progressive leadership that we
have lacked for eight long
years"
The question is not who can
talk back to Russian Premier
Khrushchev, said Mr.. Steven
son.
THE question is who can
best mobilize the power and
purpose Of the free world to
meet the challenge of Commu-
mist expansion. America must
do it; there is no one else"
But, he said. neither the Re
publican Party nor Mr.. Nixon
has shown the necessary lead
ership, adding:
There would be no school
shortage, no missile gap, no
slum blight if in the past seven
years we had substituted in
sight, planning and action in
place of evasion, delay and self
deceit"
He accused Mr.. Nixon of
dangerously impetuous state
ments" on such issues as the
Suez crisis, the U-2 incident
and Indo- China.
"1s it any wonder that Mr..
Nixor's so-called experience is
viewed by many with more
apprehension than comfort?"
he said.

counts and whether experience
does count. that. isn't for me to
say My experience is there
for the people to consider. Sen
ator Kennedy's is there for the
people to consider. I would
say the people now have the
opportunity to evaluate his as
against mine, and I think both
he and I are going to abide by
whaever the people decide"
Six weeks from today the
decision will be made. Before
then, there will be more cam
paigning by each man and
three more joint television ap-
pearances.
And then it will be known
who goes forth to lead and who
abides.

can provide the leadership for
the task both agree must be
done.
Neither hopeful touched on
the issue directly in his open
ing statement; perhaps modesty
forbade it.
But the very first question
called on Senator Kennedy to
comment on Mr.. Nixon'S state
ment last week that "you are
naive and at times immature. :"
The Senator said he and Mr..
Nixon had entered Congress
together in the election of
1916, 80 that our experience
in Government is comparable.
I think Mr.. Nixon is an
effective leader of his party. I
hope he would grant me the
same"
Mr.. Nixon declined comment.
Attacks Minority
Later in the session, after
Senator Kennedy had labor
iously explained how the one
third Republican minority in
Congress had used the threat
of the presidential veto to keep
the two-thirds Democratic ma
jority from passing its bills
during the poSt-convention Ses-
sion. the Vice President COM
mented dryly:
II don't see how it is possible
for one-third of a body to
stop two-thirds, if the two
thirds are adequately led"
Senator Kennedy, in turn,
expressed skepticism that the
Vice Presidents claim that his
Cabinet Committee on Price
Stability had produced recon-
mendations that were "rea-
sonably effective" in stopping
imitation and his boast that
exchange programs had been
increased as a result of his re-
port on his foreign Journeys.
Challenged on Experience
The most serious challenge
to the Republican claim that
Mr.. Nixon's decision-making
experience qualities him for
the presidency came, not from
the Democratic nominee, but
from a reporter on the panel.
Sander Vanocur Of NBC
quoted the Republican slogan
that experience counts" and
then noted that when PreSi-
dent Eisenhower was asked to
give one example from a Nixon
idea he had adopted, he re-
piled: If you give me a week,
I might think of one"
How, he asked, could Mr..
Nixon clarity" that?
The Vice President began by
saying that IF you know the
President, that was probably a
facetious remark"
Then, turning serious, he
said: Through the years I
have sat on the National Sc
curity Council, I have been in
the cabinet, I have met with
legislative leaders, I have met
with the President when he
made the great decisions with
regard to Lebanon, Quemoy,
Matsu and other matters. The
President has asked for my ad-
vice. I have given it. Some
times my advice has been
taken, sometimes it has not.
Il do not say that I have
made the decisions The
President only makes the deci-
sions; all that his advisers can
do is to give counsel when he
asks for it,"
Leaves 1t to People

ment that lacked partisan
punch but had the virtue of
being entirely irrefutable:

the cost of programs Endorsed
by the Republican platform at
"a minimum of 81 billion a
year and a maximum of $4.9
billion a year more than we
are presently spending"
Unprecedented for G. o. P.
This was the first time he
had put a price tag on his pro-
gram and veteran observers of
politics could recall no previous
instance where a Republican
nominee had sought the pres
idency by promising q subStan-
tial increase in Federal spend
ing.
Mr.. Nixon said his oppo-
nent's platform would raise the
Federal budget from $l3.2 bill
lion to $18 billion a year-and
that was just too much.
If Senator Kennedy does
the things he has promised,
Mr.. Nixon said, "either he has
to raise taxes or unbalance the
Federal budget. If he unbal-
ances the budget. that means
you have initiation"
wholly wrong, wholly in
error" Senator Kennedy re-
piled. The programs he had
proposed are "iscally sound"
and can be financed within a
balanced budget if our econ
omy is moving ahead"
He conceded quite readily
in fact, insisted on making the
point-that IT do not advocate
reducing the Federal debt, be-
cause I don't think you are 60
ing to be able to reduce the
Federal debt very much in
1861, 1862 or 1868"
Differ on Details
Questioning from a panel of
radio and television newscast-
ers led the two candidates into
a discussion of their detailed
differences over farm policy,
aid to education and medical
care for the aged, but neither
man came up with any new
arguments to support his es-
tablished position.
Mr.. Nixon said the ap-.
proach he favored would
stimulate the creative ener-
gies of 180 million true Ameri-
cans" while those Senator
Kennedy backed would "stif1e"
the same.
The Democrat replied that
the Republicans proposals
were inadequate to the needs,
or, as he said of the Nixon
farm program, II don't believe
1t is a sharp enough breach
with the past to give us any
hope for the future"
Both men leaned on the his
tory OF their parties to buttress
their own claims to preference.
Mr.. Nixon waxed lyrical over
the Improvements in the aver
age family's fortunes during
the years of the Eisenhower
administration. He character
lied Senator Kennedy's pro-
grams as "retreads" from the
days of President Truman.
Recalls Party Heroes
The Senator, in rebuttal, pro-
claimed himself the legitimate
heir of Woodrow Wilson,
Franklin Roosevelt and other
Democratic heroes, while insist
ing that Mr.. Nixon comes out
of the Republican Party" which
for most of these last Is
years has opposed" the welfare
measures and public resource
projects the voters are pre-
Sumed to love.

background for what the nomi-
nees regard as the key question

Sources close to President de
Gaulle. who is touring south
eastern France. today termed
Soviet Premier Khrushchev's
de facto recognition of the
Algerian rebels "a piece of
window dressing"
The most important thing
now, they suggested, was to
wait and see before taking any
decision.
France had previously warned
Moscow it would break of
diplomatic relations if the
Soviet Union formally recog-
nized the Algerian rebel regime
In Paris, former Premier
Pierre Mendes-France urged
new negotiations with the
Algerian rebels for peace in
Algeria. He told a political
rally the government should
give certain guarantees" which
the rebel Algerian National
Liberation front has demanded.
This was a reference to the
recent abortive talks at Melun
with representatives Of the
rebels who demanded guaran-
tees that an eventual plebiscite
in Algeria would be fair and
free.

The letter was read from all
