unanimously thought Mr..
Nixon had the better Of it.
They could not see him. They
listened, without the diver
sion of locks and the con-
sequent straying of the mind
to that subject. This recalls
the publicized surveys Of
1852 and 1856 which showed
Adlai Stevenson much more
effective on the radio than
TV.
There is a strongly held the
ory that the average person
does not really listen as he
looks at teievision. He looks,
and the several things he
. sees set his mind to buSying
itself with irrelevant details.
He notes the physical ap-
pearance Of the participants,
their clothing and manner
isms. Without question, this
considerably devalues the
spoken word.
That this was true In the
first of the great debates is
proved by the fact that for
most of the viewers the looks
of the men and particularly
that of Mr.. Nixon, was the
first impression.
Despite this, both made a
debate of it. Neither said
anything new. This was a
disappointment, but certainly
for this one time, at least,
millions who never turn to
issues had a look at them.
How many listened will be
known in November.

experts have described these
calculations inaccurate and ex-

Three weeks ago one of the
Senator's top farm advisers
calculated that a 80 per cent
increase in farmers income
could be achieved with a 10 to
is per cent increase in retail
food prices. There would, he
said, be an offsetting saving in
the cost of Federal farm pro-
grams.
Mr.. Nixon said today that
even Henry Wallace, the for
mer Secretary of Agriculture,
has rebelled against the Ken
nedy farm program because it
would require stricter controls
than they have in most Com

Lodge Charges
Misstdtement
On U-2 Stand

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 8
AP)-Henry Cabot Lodge en-
phasized anew today his con-
tention that Senator Kennedy
totally misstated my position
on the U-2 case" during Friday
nights nationally televised de-
bate with Vice President Nixon.
Mr.. Lodge, Mr.. Nixon's run
ming mate on the Republican
ticket, was questioned about the
matter when he arrived by
plane from Seattle to campaign
in California, Mr.. Nixon's native
State.
During the debate, Senator
Kennedy. the Democratic presi-
Dental nominee, said:
"Mr. Lodge, on Meet the
Press a month ago, said if ever
there was a case when we did
not have the law on our side
it was in the U-2 incident
(the reconnaissance fight over
Soviet Russia which ended in
crash Of the plane and capture
OF Pilot Francis Powers)."
In Seattle, Mr.. Lodge said:
Senator Kennedy totally
misstated my position on the
U-2 case when he stated to-
night FRIDAY night) that ]
had said that our legal position
was weak. I never said any
such thing"
Today at the airport, a re-
porter asked Mr.. Lodge to
elaborate.
MFR. Lodge said that during
the September 10 televised in
terview a panel member stated
the United States did not have
the law on its side. Mr.. Lodge
went on to say that was part
Of a question whether the
United States had lost in in
fluence to the Soviet Union.
So, Mr.. Lodge explained, he
merely was repeating the words
of the questioner when he re-
piled:

PADUCAH, KY, Oct. g.
Senator Kennedy kept up a
hard hitting attack on Vice
President Nixon as he made his
final campaign appearances in
Kentucky today.
In a day-long swing the
Democratic nominee spoke in
Lexington, Bowling Green and
here with Kentucky's 10 elec-
toral votes riding largely on his
appeal for more dynamic ma
tional leadership in a time of
danger.
I'VE move with danger every
day." Senator Kennedy said,
"and I believe the choice for
the American people is between
a party which believes all is well
and a party which rings the
alarm bell.
I'm my judgment it is our
function in these hazardous
days to ring the alarm bell.
I am not satisfied to have the
balance Of power begin to shift
against U.s."
No Holds Barred
Senator Kennedy. showing
the same no-holds barred ap-
proach that he and Mr.. Nixon
demonstrated in their second
television debate, said his chief
disagreement with the admin
straton is that "in a changing
time they have not changed"
In a time, he added. that re-
quired foresight and innovation
they have relied on old poll
cies, some long outdated."
He charged, among other things
that the administration is
totally Indifferent" to the rev.
olutionary changes that have
taken place in Africa and else
where.
Senator Kennedy released a
; statement during the day
charging that the United States
has been steadily losing ground
in Africa because of "disas-
trous errors and neglect by
the Eisenhower administration
over the last eight years.
The question now, he added
was whether Africa will look to
the East or West-Moscow or
WaShington-for help or guild
ance.
Program for Africa
This choice" he said, may
well determine the course OF
the cold war - whether the
world shifts toward commu-
nism or democracy-toward
freedom or toward slavery
in the years to come"
He hit again at the failure
of the administration to aio
African students, for being toe
slow to send diplomatic repre-
sentatives to the independent
countries, and other things.
AS a means of counterine
what he called the steady de-
cline of American prestige ir
Africa, Senator Kennedy pro-
posed "a bold and imaginative

Sd Kentucky Visit

This was Senator Kennedy's
third visit to Kentucky. The
State went to President Eisen-

Democratic column by about
TOO votes in 1852. Previously
Senator Kennedy had spoken

The Democratic nominee was
greeted by good crowds in all
three cities he touched today.
This encouraged his hopes of
carrying the State where the
religious issue, as in other
Southern and Border States,
has been working against him.

ing age is Is.
Several hundred persons were
at the Bowling Green airport
to give him a cheering welcome
and about 5000 heard him
speak from the towns court
house steps.
At Bowling Green he lashed
out at Mr.. NiXon's farm pro-
gram, calling it a reflection of
Secretary of Agriculture Ben
sons policies.
Speaking in an area where
tobacco is an important crop,
Senator Kennedy said he hoped
to put all farmers on the same
footing with tobacco producers
who have high price supports
and strict controls.
