ItStiII Race

The presidential campaign
went into its closing 48 hours
last night with Vice President
Nixon trying to reverse an ap-
parent Kennedy trend and the
Senator trying to preserve 1t.
In last-minute reports from
the field, reporters for The Star
agreed yesterday that Senator
Kennedy now holds an edge.
But they also agreed that it
still was a race and that the
outlook is obscured by the
murky depths of the religious
issue, the reluctance Of large
numbers of voters to tip their
hands in advance and the in
ability to appraise accurately
the effect of President Eisen-
hower's Intervention.
Vice President Nixon goes to
Alaska today to fulfill his
pledge to campaign in all so
States. Tomorrow he'll make
a swing through crucial Mid
west States, ending up in an
election eve appearance with
President Eisenhower on a
cross-country television hookup.
Senator Kennedy will devote
both today and tomorrow to
whirlwind campaigning in key
Eastern States, winding up with
a televised speech from a Bos-

Both candidates will spend
Tuesday, election day, away

ABC offered the Democrats
four hours for Mr.. Kennedy.
But Roger Tubby, a spokesman
for the Senator, said the Dem

Henry M. jackson, Demo-

the Nixon telethon will cost

SENATOR KENNEDY

] am happy to reply to your
query concerning my attitude
toward the Nations civil service
employees.
It is my intention II elected
President to protect fully the
civil service merit system. !
believe that every one Of our
employees should render q full
and effective days work. In
exchange. they should be ade-
quately and fairly compensated.
Additionally. I feel strongly
that they should receive the full
protection and benefits accord
ed them under all laws.
I intend to use my full power
as President to make our Fed
eral service one in which cap
able, honest people serving 1t
can take true pride.
The large majority Of our
civil servants are understanding
men and women devoted to
their duties and responsibilities.
They should be provided with
the incentives commensurate
with their positions. I hope that
they can take pride in their
Nations accomplishments.
It is my view that. during
the last eight years, Federal
civil servants have been q for
gotten group insofar as the
Republican administration is
concerned. ! can think of no
outstanding gain made by them
during this period that was not
forced on the administration
by q Democratic Congress.
I am in favor Of making the
United States Government a
model employer. 1t seems to me
that this is the way to make it
more eficient and more effec-
tive.
