But George Steiner's Ameri-

though not free from the ills
that usually beset amateur
orchestras, lets itself be

and the part of the concert I
was able to hear was most
pleasant.
Mr.. Steiner was relaxed about
the Beethoven" symphony,
now generally considered to be
the work Of one Friedrich Witt,
an approximate contemporary
of Beethoven. The performance
stayed just this side of lassi-
tude which doesn't bother me,
though the excessive tension
some conductors prefer for this
style does.

Now that the annual Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra
performance of the Messiah has
come, the Christmas season is
officially here.
Last night at Constitution
Hall, Howard Mitchell and the
orchestra, aided by the COM
bined choirs Of three local
churches and a quartet Of emf
nent soloists, gave the first
reading Of the Handel MASTER
work. For those who found two
and a half hours of oratorio a
little too much of a good thing
after the extraordinary Sviato-
slav Richter recital which
ended at 6 pm, a repeat will
take place this afternoon at
g. pm.
,Dr. Mitchell's Messiah is in
the 19th-century tradition OF
big choruses and awesomely
ponderpus tempt. This is now
firmly established and respect
able, but it is not the way the
work was originally conceived
BY Handel.
sAll the elements of a fine
reading in this tradition were
present, but in the portion ]
heard, this failed to material
ize. Chorus and orchestra alike
were ragged, and the conduc-
tor did not seem able to instill
in them q spark of life.

Truman Tells
Critics TOGO

BY the Associated Press

Former President Truman,
target of Republican criticism
for give-'em- m-hell campaigning
in Texas, says his critics could
also go to hell.
Mr.. Truman came here by
plane for an overnight visit
with friends before departing
today for campaign talks in
North Carolina and Virginia.
I'm having a good time, u
Mr.. Truman told reporters and
a welcoming contingent of
friends at the airport. He was
jaunty in a gray single-breaSted
suit with a gray hat cooked
over one eye.
Asked if he had been chal-
lenged on his statement in
Texas that Vice President
Nixon, the Republican presi-
Dental nominee, never told the
truth in his life, Mr.. Truman
said:
Not that I've heard of. They
can't challenge that"
Mr.. Truman was asked If he
intends to apologize, as Repub-
licans have demanded, for an
other remark-that Texans who
vote for Mr.. Nixon ought to go
to hell"
Tell them to go TO- hell" "
Mr.. Truman laughed.
Mr.. Truman denied he had
said quite what he was quoted
as saying in Texas on the go
to hell" theme, but didn't offer
to straighten it out.
Mr.. Truman was asked
whether he thinks Senator
Kennedy, the Democratic presi-
Dental nominee, is waging a
sufficiently hard-hitting cam
paign. He replied:
"Oh, he's making a good
campaign. He's a decent gen.
tleman and he's going to win. +"

QuemoyCited
By the Associated Pres.

A Republican publication to-
day quoted Admiral Arthur w.
Radford as saying Senator
Kennedy's views on defense Of
the Chinese offshore islands
could certainly start a war If
they are believed by the Red
Chinese"
Senator Kennedy, Demo-
cratic presidential candidate,
says the little islands of Que
moy and Matsu cannot be de-
Tended and that defense lines
should be drawn around the
Island Of Formosa.
Admiral Radford, former
chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, was quoted by the
Republican congressional COM
mittee's weekly newsletter as
saying Mr.. Kennedy's remarks
were so fantastic I can scarce
ly believe they were made" He
added:
1--WE are being watched by
the whole of free Asia. If we
were to back down on the de-
fenSe of Quemoy and Matsu,
we would lose those nations.
There are few places in the
world that are not defensible
if you put enough into it.
Therefore, the statement that
these islands cannot be de-
Tended is false"
The United States is not
pledged to defense Of the
islands under the United
States-Nationalist China mu-
tual defense pact. However,
Congress in 1855 authorized
defense Of Quemoy and Matsu
at the Presidents discretion,
Thruston B. Morton, the
Republican national chairman,
said in a statement today that
defense of the islands is as
important now as the defense
of Hawaii was in 1941.
He added that Senator Ken
nedy's views represent the kind
of thinking that got the
United States involved in the
three wars of this century" and
demonstrate "a failure to COM
prehend the basic aims and
tactics of an imperialistic die
tatorship bent on aggression"
Senator Morton said Ken
nedy is considerably out Of
step with great many mem
bers of his own party in Con-
greSs. More than 70 per
cent of the Democrats Gin the
Senate in 1850 voted in favor
Of giving the President dis
cretionary authority to defend
the islands"

Star stan Writer

AS Vice President Nixon and
Senator Kennedy squared of
for their third Nationwide TV
debate tonight. Democratic
Senator Mansfield of Montana
urged them to put on a real
debate and not a beauty con-
test. press conference or quiz
program" just before the No
vember 8 election.
The Senator was talking
about a fifth televised meeting
within the 18 days following the
fourth and last in the sched-
uled series on October 81. The
first was held September 2t
from a Chicago station and the
second here last Friday.
On Opposite Coasts
The third debate tonight
from 7:30 to $50 pm, Wash
ington time, will be a split
screen arrangement. Mr.. Nixon
will be in an American Broad
casting Co. studio in Hollywood
Senator Kennedy will be in an
ABC studio in New York.
The questioning on any issue
Of the presidential campaign
will be done by q panel COM
posed Of Roscoe Drummond,
New York Herald Tribune
Douglas Cater, Reporter Maya
zine; Charles Won Fremd OF
CHS and Frank MCGEE OF
NBC. They and the moderator,
Bill Shaded of ABC, will be in
q separate studio in New York.
The Republican and Demo-
cratic presidential candidates
have not yet commented on
Senator Mansfleld's proposal.
Nor have they yet agreed on
whether there should be a fifth
TV meeting, as was suggested
last week in other quarters.
Senator Kennedy said he
would accept a television in
dustry invitation to q fifth de-
bate some time after October
81. MIR. Nixon made a counter
suggestion that the fourth de-
bate next week continue for two
hours instead Of one.
Senator Mansfield offered his
proposal today as a compromise
A fifth debate, he said, should
be a direct exchange of ques-
tions, answers and arguments
between the two candidates in
the same studio and without a
panel Of questioners.
For Fuller Discussion
"In this way" he said, there
would be no skirting of the
issues, but there would be ample
time to consider a few Of the
more important questions in
domestic and foreign policy of
the day and to do it in a way
which would give each man a
chance to develop fully his ideas
on the subjects under discus
sion.
I'm this manner both the
public and the candidates would
be better off, the former for
knowing more accurately where
each Of the nominees stands,

failed" in events leading to
World War II.
The President spelled out his
position further in a panel dis
cussion at San Francisco on
October 81, 1858, when he was
campaigning for Republican
congressional candidates.
A questioner asked him then
why are we so concerned
about the defense of these two
little islands,"
In his reply Mr.. Eisenhower
said, I'VE are not concerned
about two little bits Of real
estate in the world. OF course
we are not. But I know of
only one way for freedom to
defend itself against the in
roads or the threats of Com
munist dictatorship and that
Is to stand by principle"
He then emphasized that the
specific principle involved was
I'VE will not permit Communist
territorial expansion by force. ~
Ichiang Captured
In 1855, however, the Chinese
Reds captured the island of
Ichiang, which with the Tachen
Islands lies about 100 miles up
the coast from Quemoy and
Matsu. This government then
persuaded Generalissim @
Chang Kai-shek to pull his
troops from the Tachens be-
cause they were not essential
to Formosa'S defense.
In a March 1855, press con-
ference, Mr.. Eisenhower en-
| phaSized that morale of Chi
nese Nationalist forces on For
moSa was an important factor
to consider in relation to the
question of defending Quemoy
and Matsu.
| He sharpened the same point
in a news conference last May
IL. "As to the actual value OF
Matsu and Quemoy," he said
then. "of course we must re-
member how much this seems
to mean to the morale of all
the Chinese forces on Formosa.
From their viewpoint, any de-
Sertion of those islands means
a complete surrender, abject
surrender"

Hits "Gutter Language"
For those who cannot follow

gram would offer a solution
that did not involve putting
private doctors on the Federal
payroll"
II believe that every person
over 65 who wants health in
Surance ought to be able to get
it that every person over
IS who needs it and ought to
have it should be encouraged to
get it. But in America, I don't
believe that anybody who
doesn't want it should be forced
to have it against his will"
Mr. Nixon took a crack at
Mr.. Truman in his Long Beach
talk, though he did not name
him. In an apparent reference |
to the former Presidents re-
mark that anyone who votes
Republican this year ought to
go to Hell, Mr.. Nixon said the
President has a responsibility
to the young people Of this
country, and that is never to |
indulge in anything that would
make them ashamed Of who is |
the President of the United
States-and I mean gutter
language or anything Of that
sort"
Tries TO Clarity Stand
During the day. the Vice
President attempted to clarity |
his position on three unrelated |
issues on which he had been
questioned:
/. The suggestion by his |
running mate. Mr.. Lodge, that |
a Negro be included in the
next Presidents cabinet. Mr..
Nixon said, through his press
secretary, Herbert G. Klein: |
Il shall select the best men
without regard to race creed
or color"
2. Mr.. Lodges support of
Federal aid for private and
parochial, as well as public,
schools. Mr.. Nixon's comment,
as relayed by Mr.. Klein. was:
II have consistently taken the
viewpoint that Federal aid for
school construction on the pri-
mary or secondary level should |
be given to schools in accord
ance with State law"
Mr.. Klein said he did not
know if any State now per-
mitted such aid to parochial
schools. Senator Kennedy has
said he opposes Federal aid to
parochial schools.
3. The Connally reservation /.
to the World Court, which gives
the United States the right to
decide whether it will recognize
the courts jurisdiction in any
case to which this country is a
party. Mr.. Nixon appeared to
shift his position. Previously
he had been recorded as favor
ing outright repeal of the Con-
nally amendment.
