Of about $4,000 in New Jerseys
strongly Republican Bergen
County.
"Ten days ago this campaign
began to catch hold" he said.
"Ten days ago the tide began to
run as it does in a campaign.
A candidate knows it. know
it and I feel that tide tonight.
I feel it is sweeping through the
State Of New Jersey :"
Mr.. Nixon reviewed his final
drive that will take him to
South Carolina. Texas, Wyom-
ing, Washington State and
California before going to
Alaska and then to Detroit be-
fore going back to the Capital
and he said then back to Cali
fornia-"21,00 900 miles in eight
days-and I can only tell you
this will keep this tide roning."
His announcement that he
would fly back to California to
vote came as a surprise. He
will appear on a national tele-
vision program with President
Eisenhower in the Capital Mon
day night. It had been thought
he would use an absentee bal
lot. which he has with him,
during his California visit at
the end Of the week. He has
been scheduled to attend the
Republican party at the Shera-
ton-Park election night.
In Philadelphia
His statement asking for "a
realistic" program Of immigra-
ton was issued as he arrived
in Philadelphia early today for
a few hours rest before cam
paigning in Lancaster and Erie.
No appearances were scheduled
in Democratic Philadelphia.
In addition to doubling the
present quota which he said
would mean admitting "a num-
ber equal to one-sixth of / per
cent Of our total population"
Mr.. Nixon proposed:
l. Pooling Of national quo
tas, which he said would per-
init distribution of unused
quotas among those nations
which have oversubscribed.
England, he pointed out, used
only a fraction of its quota Of
( $1,000 while other nations such
as Italy and Greece are over
subscribed.
2. Substitution of "the out
dated" 1920 census as a quota
basis by the 1860 census re-
suits ITO make our immigra-
ton program more realistic
and meaningful."
8. More attention to what
he called "the problems Of
relatives Of American citizens.
He did not elaborate on this.
He pointed out that Presi-
dent Eisenhower had urged q
liberalized immigration pro-
gram but unfortunately Con-
gress, controlled by Mr.. Ken
nedy and his followers, took
no action on these proposals."
Some Empty Seats
Mr.. Nixon set out from
Washington on Halloween |
night and in a driving rain to
fly to New Jersey and take
over, with Henry Cabot Lodge
present, a part Of a schedule
that had been arranged for his
running mate.
The only spooks he encoun-
tered were empty seats in the
Newark armory where he ad-
dressed more than 5000 at
tending a Republican national
tiles meeting. On his arrival
at the Teterboro Airport, a
crowd Of about 1000 made up
in noise and enthusiasm what
they lacked in numbers.
The Rldgewood turnout,
mostly adults and some chill
dren in Halloween getups,
heard Mr.. Nixon get down to
the "bread-and-butter" issue.
He said Senator Kennedy
had declared he was for a bal
anced budget, against raising
taxes and at the same time
stood on the Democratic plat
form which Mr.. Nixon contends
would add SIS billion a year to
the Federal budget. |
Now he can't be for the
Democratic platform" Mr..
Nixon continued. "He can't be
for that and be against raise
in taxes and for a balanced
budget.
Both Mr.. Nixon and Mr..
Lodge, who spoke only briefly,
commended their experience
and ability in dealing with the
Russians. Mr.. Lodge intro
