SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 13,
Vice President Nixon said to-
day he could anticipate no situ-
alton which would require him
to consider resigning as PreSi-

religious Scruples.

Nixon said, II do not anticipate

Again Deplores Issue
Mr.. Nixon is a Quaker and
Senator Kennedy is Roman
Catholic. Once again Mr.. Nixon
deplored the religious issue
that has been injected into the
presidential campaign and dis

They said the first phone

But the candidate himself
adopted a cautious attitude,
saying well have to wait and
see" what the reaction is.
The comments of some of the
$50 Protestant ministers who
participated in the session
ranged from laudatory to criti-
cal.
The Rev. George Avent. a
Methodist, said, This man has
demonstrated tonight lie can
teach all of us a solid lesson in

The Rev. K. o. White, a Bap-
tist, commented: II think on

this issue out of the campaign
by not discussing it,"
Emphasis on Peace
Mr.. Nixon met reporters be-
fore moving into the Pacific
Northwest later in the day to
present the question of peace
as the overriding issue in the
campaign - and the thought
that the Republican ticket is
the best hope of preserving it.

Democrats, Eager for In-Fighting,

When Republicans COM

election prospects they worry
most over the economic in
dicators which continue to
reflect a stale, slow pace with
no relief in sight.
When Democrats talk to-

their young Boston candidate
is proving to be more of a
wry Yankee than a fighting
Irishman. Harvard, Senator
Kennedy's alma mater and a
main source Of his brain
trust, is almost as unpopular
with many Of the local lead
erS as it was with the late
Senator Mccarthy.
His party's anxiety about
the economic situation has
been communicated to Presi-

turn has been comforting
with his economic advisers
and the chairman of the
Federal Reserve Board. No
new moves have been an
nounced, however, and the
time is short for anything
that would be effective ex-
cept as propaganda.
Politically, the bright side
for Republicans is that any
real recession would be the
heritage Of the next Presi-
