Star for the most intelligent

Of the presidential race. Your
honest appraisal Of the
Great Debates" also deserves
admiration.
Regardless of the outcome
on November 8. the Senator
from Massachusetts, will be
long remembered for his re-
markable performance in
1860. This legislator has been
challenged on his religion,
his youth. his wealth, ETC..
throughout the blistering pri-
maries; at the Democratic
Convention; and during this
final, strenuous drive for vic
tory. On several occasions,
these issues have overshad-
owed the important ones, yet
the Senator has proceeded
courageouSly to become one
Of the two major possibilities
who will lead our Nation dur
ing the next four years.
He certainly will be hon.
ored for, helping to create
better understanding among
religious sectS. His opposition
to intolerance has been widely
promulgated.
It Is now evident that we
have q choice between two
capable candidates for the
highest office in the land.
For this we also can be
thankful to, Senator Ken
nedy. Vice President Nixon
knew he had been matched
with a formidable opponent.
Kennedy has q record Of hon.
esty. aggressiveness, and in
telligence. On the other hand,
the Vice President, at times
has been controversial. His
duties and accomplishments
have. been varying and un-
defined. The new Nixon"
became o political necessity.
Accordingly, Nixon has shown
more initiative, and interest
in liberal action.
The craftsmanship which
has been displayed by Ken
nedy during this election year
should be q noticeable quality
in all public officials.

While our presidential
candidates are arguing about
whether or not we will go
to war over two remote,
worthless islands, or re-
peatedly reviving the religious
issue, we are watching our
dollars being cashed in for
gold all over the world. d.
AS Constantine Brown
states: the candidates ''have
been attempting to sweep
our economic and financial
difficulties under the rug
/" He also observes that
we have not only priced our
selves out of most foreign
markets but are on. the way
to pricing ourselves out of
our own markets by estab-
fishing competing businesses
overseas.
Sylvia Porter states that
the greatest international
economic problem we now
have is the deficit we are
running in other lands,
Many countries now in a
sound economic position are
still presenting Uncle Sucker
with their bills and we are
paying them. West Ger
many is a prime example. ..

Why all the hullabaloo over
this prestige business? Who
can define prestige in q truly
objective or conclusive way?
Does a big brother ever
achieve such among his
smaller sisters and brothers!
Kennedy, Fulbright, and Their
kind, are rendering q terri
BILE disservice to our country
just for the sake of political
expediency. 1t can only ado
more fuel to the Communists
fire. They keep yelling fol
the release of information
concerning a so-called secret
prestige poll. Supposedly
this would have a great ef.
feet on voters before elec.
ton day. OF greater interest
to all voters and all Ameri.
cans would be the release
before election day, of thu
contents of secret foreign
treaty agreements such al
Potsdam and others which
our Democrat friends negoti
ated and continue to sup
press after all these years
We should demand tina
