Readers Garry On the Great Debate

The first of the historic
presidential candidate de-
bates has passed. The people
Of the United States have
observed the candidates in
perhaps the most revealing
situation that any presiden-
tial aSpirants have ever
been in.
1t seems to me that a very
serious weakness exists in the
actual design of the proceed
ure of discussion. At the
end of discussion of each
question. the listener was left
hanging in the air." A ques-
ton was raised, the candi-
date clarified his views and
then criticized his opponent.
The opponent then defended
himself and voiced criticism
of his opponent. At this point
the question was dropped
and perhaps mentioned once
again at the end of the hour
in the closing words of each
candidate.
I believe that these dis
cussions would be of far
greater value if the scope of
the subject matter were very
limited. If one hour of dis
cuSsion could be spent con-
corning, for example, the
issue of Federal aid to educa-
ton, a better means of eval-
uating the substantially of
each candidates assertions
would be available. I believe
that the quantity of subjects
discussed is far less impor-
tant than the validity of rea-
soning and the wisdom that
would become more apparent
in each candidate in a dis
cuSSion of one single peril
nent issue.

In heavens name, why
doesn't one of your excellent
reporters give the facts re:
the So-Called debate?
Everybody who viewed this
travesty knows that Kennedy
outpointed the pasty-faced
Nixon in all phases of the
encounter. Nixon was hold
ing on the ropes in every
round. Kennedy put him on
the defensive, time after time,
and smilingly left Ike's boy
gasping at the end.

event, conceived by compe-

THE PASSING SCENE
80 Election q Hard One to Predict
BY WILLIAM S. WHITE

(This correspondent, paren-
thetically, wouldn't risk a
dime on the outcome at this
point.) Essentially, what
they are betting is that the
ticket-splitting Of the last two
presidential elections will
characterize this one, too.
They are gambling that Mr..
Nixon will get practically all
the traditional Republicans
plus a big bloc of inde-
pendents and dissatisfied
Democrats, as Gen. Eisen-
hover certainly did in 1852
and 1856.
Vastly Complicated
Whether they are right in
this, nobody can say. But one
thing can be said for sure:
There are far more compli-
Gated and unreadable factors
in this election than in any
we have ever known.
My own hunch is that the
gamblerS-and the pollsters,
too-are taking a tremendous
risk in trying to be even
half-positive about anything.
For a single example: Even if
Mr., Nixon carries a popular
majority there is a far greater
than normal possibility of a
Kennedy victory, anyhow.
Under the system, of course,
a man winning a State by a
single vote takes all that
States electoral votes. Sena-
tor Kennedy is going all-out,
to a degree rarely seen, for
the States of massive elec-
toral power. Precisely six of
the so States-California, Il
linoiS, Michigan, New York,
Ohio and Pennsylvania -
could hand him 181 of the
269 electoral votes needed for
election.
These six States, moreover,
mostly are precisely those in
which the so-called Catholic
issue" might well help rather
than hurt and where pro-
Democratic union labor is the
strongest.
Give all those six to Mr..
Nixon and one could predict
a Nixon landslide, consider
ing his probable greater rural
and Small-town strength than
Sen tor Kennedy'S. Give
them to the Senator and you
could predict at least a Ken
nedy victory, regardless of
his popular vote total.
All early /predicters are
quite welcome to have the
field alone.

is being done on the hustingS,

Kennedy on TV says he
and Dick Nixon have com
parable" experience. oh,
come on now!
Look at the record. Both
came to Congress in 1913.
In 1852 Nixon was tapped for
the Nations second highest
job. Kennedy went to the
Senate. In 1856 the Eisen-
hover Nixon team again
swept the country. Kennedy,
prodded by ocrat C
bosses, tried to derail Ke-
fauver but lost in a taut TV
drama.
One TV exposure and Ken
nedy caught the bug. He has
been running for President
ever since-from a seat in
the back row of the Senate.
In the last four years we've
all seen his name on a great
many magazine articles
but darned few important
pieces of legislation.
Nixon, meanwhile, ha S
been the most influential
weep in our history.
If the Democrats really
wanted to match leadership
against leadership, why did
they humiliate Lyndon john
son, the high-Scoring team
captain, in favor of a scrub
who Topped in his only pre-
vious big chance?
TV inflated the Kennedy
balloon in Sc. Now it is trying
to get it off the ground. Well,
TV also made Berle and Van
Doren and others too nu-
merous to mention, then
dropped them in their tracks.
1t can do it again.

Congratulations are in
order to Senator John Ken
nedy if he is able to do what
he promised he would do

crease the minimum wage,

vide higher unemployment

he was unable to pass one of
these bills even with a 2 to l

Evening star., 1960-09-30

John F. Kennedy is now
running a vast collective
thing called the Democratic
Party against a relatively
smaller if still huge collective
thing called the Republican
Party. Only secondarily is he
running against Richard M.
Nixon.
Richard Nixon is now run
ming fundamentally against a
man called Kennedy - and
never mind the parties too
much.
This is one of the several
reasons why this presidential
election is so extraordinarily
hard to predict.
Senator Kennedy, though
no mean contender in any
personality contest, is never
theless not really depending
on his appeal as a person.
At bottom he is depending on
the mosaic-like cumulative
appeal of a party which is
far the larger of the two -
about 6 to 4. And, though he
presents himself as more
modern than Mr.. Nixon, he
also calls up memories of a
more remote past.
He stresses what the Demo-
cratic Party did two decades
ago, in the era of Franklin
Roosevelt. Mr.. Nixon stresses
what Dwight D. Eisenhower,
and Mr.. Nixon-not the Re-
publican Party-have done in
the last eight years.
These differences in en-
phasis are no accidents. The
final impression Senator
Kennedy wishes to leave is
this: Look at what the
Democratic Party historically
has done for you" The final
impression Mr.. Nixon wishes
to leave is this: Look what
Dwight EiSenhower-in whose
administration I myself have
Served-has done for you"
Victory Not Automatic
If Senator Kennedy could
assume that all the coun-
try's more-or-less Democratic
voters would go for him he
would never need to get out
of his Office chair. If Mr..
Nixon had to assume that all
the more-or-less Democrats
would so vote there would be
no point in his ever leaving
his chair, for he would have
no chance, anyhow.
All the same, the Broadway
and Las Vegas odds-makers
continue to favor Mr.. Nixon.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Organ TronspIonts for Longevity
By THOMAS r. HENRY

New bodies for old now are
in prospect.
This appears from a report
by Dr.. William B. Bean and
his associates of the State
University of Iowa on find
ings of ways to eliminate
formation of antibodies by
the human body. This now
essentially prohibits grating
OF new organs-Such as new
kidneys for worn-out kidneys.
He and his research team,
DR.. Bean reports, have found
that an induced deficiency of
two vitaminS in volunteers
eliminated antibody response
to tetanus and typhoid i'm
munizing agents.
Elimination of antibody
response to a transplanted
organ" DR.. Bean reports, "is
. the biggest and one of the
last obstacles to replacing
diseased and worn-out organs
OF the BODY. Surgical tech
niques have been developed
for tranSplanting various or
gans. but medical scientists
are stymied by a biochemical
action of the body which, in
most cases, prevents organ
gratis from taking. Probably
to ward off harmful viruses
and bacteria, nature pro-
vided the body with a defense
system which will reject, at
tack and eventually destroy
any invading material from
another organism.
AntibOdy Hurdle
This little-understood re-
lection reaction invariably
Kills an organ graft, and is
the reason doctors rarely try
such an operation. The ex-
ception is with identical twins,
who in effect are the same
person biochemically. If a
way can be found to alter the
rejection mechanism, it may
provide answers not only to
the organ graft problem, but
to cancer and a host of other
ills.
Massive doses of radia-
ton have been found to be
effective in curbing the war
rior antibodies but they
often produce harmful re-
actions and are seldom
used"
In MS experiments, DR..
Bean said, the antibody re-
Sponse was eliminated in a
healthy man who had an
induced deficiency of pan
tothenic acid, a B vitamin
found in most foods, and
another B vitamin found in
liver, fish and some green
vegetables. The next step
will be to study the effects
of skin CRAFTS on men with
the combined vitamin de-
f1ciences to see whether they
can be induced to take" by
the same methods.
A deficiency in pantothenic
acid alone, the experiment.
ers found. had no effect.
Lack of this vitamin in
foods causes irritability,
restlessness, quarrelsomeness,
tlngling of nerves, muscular
and abdominal cramps, easy
fatigue and a peculiar gait.
Lack of the other vitamin
causes skin to become dry
and scaly.
But, says the report, this
might be a small price to
pay for a new organ.
