The speech-billed as al

Morale Scars
News of the Eisenhower ap-
pointment. coming on top of
q very heartening reception for
the Vice Presidents part in
yesterdays television session
with Senator Kennedy, sent
morale in the Nixon camp
soaring.
The candidates aides made
no secret Of their belief that
the promise of an active role
for Mr.. Eisenhower in a Nixon
administration would be a mag
net to many voters.
Herbert G. Klein, the Vice
Presidents press secretary, to-
day confirmed Mr.. Nixon'S in
tention to ask the President to
be his foreign policy adviser.
It was considered certain
that the request would not be
publicized unless Mr.. Eisen-
hover had agreed to accept the
job.
Mr.. Klein said only that the
post would be an informal one,
centering on foreign affairs
rather than military matters.
From other sources, it was
learned that the job might
also permit the President to
continue the good will" trips
he has taken to many coun-
tries during the last 71a years.
TV Response Good"
Mr.. Klein told reporters tele-
grams and phone calls indicat-
ed the response to Mr.. Nixon's
performance on the televised
question and answer session
was very good" around the
country.
He quoted from telegrams
telling the Vice President, "You
certainly won that one," and
you won this one in a breeze
going away" He was urged to
pour it on"
Mr.. Nixon was pleased at the
outcome Of the debate, despite
his anger at what he considers
Senator Kennedy's violation of
the rules through the use Of
notes during the broadcast.
The Vice President said he
couldn't have been more
shocked" than he was at the
moment, just before the tele-
cast went on the air, when he
saw Senator Kennedy shutting
some papers.
He appeared very angry and
spoke with evident emotion as
he discussed the matter with
reporters Immediately after the
show, though he said he was
mot angry" and would never
complain about the debates"
after they were over.
But he said that before the
next debate We had better set
tie on the rules"
Sees Kennedy Mistake
Later last night, after Sena-
tor Kennedy had denied there
was any rule violation, Mr..
Nixon was interviewed at a.
restaurant and declared: There
was a rule that no notes or
texts were to be used, and he
violated this rule. He should
have told me he would use
notes. and he made a very grave
mistake in not doing So"
Aside from the notes con-
troversy, Mr.. Nixon was re-
ported to be very happy with
the debate. All arrangements
were made to his taste, since
he did not have to share the
studio with Senator Kennedy,
who was broadcaSting from New
York.
Mr.. Nixon said he liked this
debate which found him 5000
miles away from his opponent.
He said he finds it a little diff
cult to get tough with his foe
when he's sitting or standing
near him, or, as Mr.. Nixon
put it:
YOU'RE a little, frankly, en-
barrassed. You don't like to
look at the guy"
Room Is Cooled
The room the Vice President
spoke from was cooled to 81
degrees to reduce his perspira-
ton. Despite this fact, he
