whether the world can remain

THE country is good but it

day Senator Kennedy took issue
with Mr.. Nixon's charge that
he and his running mate, Sem
ator johnson. are not in line
with the tradition of the DEM
ocratic Party.
Hits Embrace" Of President
His severest criticism came in
a st. Paul speech at a congress-
ional district rally. He repeated
what he said last week that II
am tired of reading about what
Castro and Khrushchev are
doing and I want to read what
the President of the United
Estates is doing" He noted that
Mr.. Nixon had denounced that
as an attack on President
Eisenhower.
He is going to be coming to
President Eisenhower's defense
in the next five weeks" Senator
Kennedy said. During August
he was coming to Gov. Rookie
feller's defense and he wasn't
mentioning the President then
or in September. But now he
is attempting to embrace the
President.
Il don't quarrel with the
President of the United States.
The question is the future. The
question is not President Eisen-
hover but President Nixon.
That is the question the Ameri-
can people have to contend with
in the weeks before the election.
do they want to move in the
direction of Mr.. Nixon and in
the direction of the Republican
Party, or do they want to move

ObeE StaH "ElJcE
Organized labor's political
campaign chief today pre-
dicted the vast majority of
union members will vote for
Senator Kennedy, mainly be-
cause of the unemployment
issue.
"A recession is on now for
the working man." George M.
Harrison, chairman Of La
boris Committee for Election
of Kennedy and johnson, said
in an interview. /
Mr.. Harrison, who is presi-
dent of the Brotherhood of
Railway Clerks, said the
burning labor issues" of the
campaign are unemployment
! and economic growth. The
twin issues are working for
Senator Kennedy and against
Vice President Nixon, he said.
Although many unioniSts
voted for President Eisenhower
Mr.. Harrison said, most OF
them will switch back to the
Democrats this year.
! II don't think Nixon has any
labor appeal" he added.
( Set Up Recently
Mr.. Harrison's campaign
/ committee was established less
than two weeks ago, with an
office at 1901 K street NV,
to help implement the ALL
CLIO Endorsement of the Ken
nedy-JohnSon ticket.
The vice chairman of the
committee are Joseph D. Kee-
nan, secretary of the Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers, and Arthur J. Gold
berg, special counsel of the
AFL-CIO. Eli Oliver, economic
adviser to the Railway Labor
Executives Association, is the
committees secretary and OPP
Grating director.
Mr.. Harrison and Mr.. keenan,
are vice presidents of the ALL
CLIO.
Working comparatively with
the Democratic Party organiza-
ton and with AFL-CIO polit-
cal.units, the committee acts as
a service agency for labor or
CARNATIONS and engages in in
dependent activities.
We're trying to rally our
people and get their votes in
the ballot box" Mr.. Harrison
said in summarizing his COM
mittee'S goals. He added:
I'VE don't control any labor
votes. All we can do is beg them
and urge them, and try to ex-
plain to them that their best
interests lie with the Demo-
Gratis"
The committee is preparing
and distributing pamphlets,
posters and other campaign
paraphernalia. 1t also has pro-
duced and soon will start selling
a monograph record of cam
paign songs, Ballads for Bal
lots" composed and sung by

ton director of the United Rub

heard AM cheer,l an IL
Minnesota.
Those and other signs as well
as comments by some objective
observers lent support to Ken
needy organization claims that
their man has a good chance
to garner Missouri's Is electoral
votes and Minnesota's IL.
Missouri went for Adlai Ste
venson by a majority of only
6,026 four years ago and for
President Eisenhower by 29. 500
in 1852. Mr.. Eisenhower swept
Minnesota by 101,779 in 1856
and 154,753 in 1852.
Republican Territory
Getting the 81 electoral votes
of Illinois on November 8 will
be tougher. The increasingly
confidant candidate planned a
full day of motorcade cam
paigning in 10 Central and
Southern Illinois communities
He arranged to end the days
speechmaking and handshakine
in Springfield, the State capital,
The Kennedy schedule called
for an overnight stay in Chi
cago after the Springfield rally.
Then he'll move into Indiana
for two days.
The territory being covered
today is almost the exact popu-
lation center Of the United
States. The route gives oppor-
tunity for talks in agricultural
areas. industrial towns and
defense production establish
ments.
It also has been Republican
for the most part. AS in his
tour of northwestern and
central New York State last
week, Senator Kennedy hopes
to cut into downstate Illinois
G. o. P. majorities so as to
strengthen prospects Of winning
the entire State with the help
of heavily Democratic Chicago
returns.
His st. Louis speech last
night and his Minnesota talks
yesterday in Minneapolis, st.
Paul, Duluth and Hibbing in
the famed iron-range region
covered the political water
front. But they also unleaShed
a new and more burning brand
of attack on Mr.. Nixon.
Attacks More Emphatic
He disputed his Republican
rivals charges of distortions
and national security danger in
his own recent speeches. He
asserted more emphatically
than before that Mr.. Nixon is
attempting to be many things
to many different voters.
He charged that Mr.. Nixon,
despite liberal promises. is
fundamentally as much a
product Of the Republican
Party as were Presidents Nc
Kinley. Harding, Coolidge and
Hoover, and G. o. P. Presiden-
tial Candidates Alfred Landon
and Dewey. He asserted that
the Republican National Con-
vention this year never would
have nominated Mr.. Nixon If
it thought he was too pro-
gressive.

Party" he said. has put a
damper on the national effort

Labor Campaign Chief
Predicts Kennedy Vote

Der Workers Of America, is
known as "labor's troubadour."
AS a special incentive for
cooperating labor units, the
committee is sponsoring a get
out-the-vote contest" with a
top prize of $1,000 to the local
committee that builds up the
biggest increase in Democratic
votes over 1856.
The committee operates a
speakers bureau and in other
ways helps local labor organi-
cations plan political programs.
Union conventions provide a
forum for campaign speeches,
and political discussions are
prominent on the agendas of
many labor meetings this fall.
Spadework by the committee
helps build up crowds for
rallies addressed by Democratic
campaigners.
Travels With Kennedy
Mr.. Keenan, maintains direct
liaison with the campaign by
travelling with Senator Kennedy
on some of his trips. Other
union leaders are expected to
join the campaign caravan from
time to time.
Committee members also dis
cuSS campaign issues with
Senator Kennedy and his aides,
and are prepared to give adj
vice when asked. They try to
explain Senator Kennedy's
views in response to questions
by unionists.
Mr.. Harrison said the COM
mittee will be financed entirely
by individual voluntary con-
tributions. He was unable to
estimate the committees COL
lections or planned expendi-
lures. The Democratic Ma
tional Committee is paying the
Office rent.
The Harrison committee has
a staff Of about IL, mostly un-
paid volunteers.
Mr.. Harrison, who supported
Senator Symington of Missouri
for the presidential nomination,
is chairman of the Labor Ad-
visory Committee of the Demo-
cratic Advisory Council. The
council is an adjunct Of the
Democratic National Commit
tee.
