King Challenges Bennett To Three Hour-Lon-g Debates Rep. David S. King Wednes-day fired a challenge at Senator Wallace F. Bennett to meet him in at least three hour-lon- g tele-vision debates on Salt Lake's major TV stations. At the same time, the Con-gressman asked the three com-mercial stations KSL-T- V, KUTV and KCPX-T-V each to make an hour available in Oc-tober for the proposed debates. In his letter challenging the senator, Congressman King as-serted: "The moment of these times demands that our contest be set-tled squarely on the issues. Utah voters should have the best opportunity we can give them to compare the candidates, and compare their records. Other campaigns have clearly shown that this opportunity can be best provided by television debate. "I see a sharp contest in our records and in our projected programs as I think you do. It is my understanding that we already will meet in two de-bates, Sept. 27 and Nov. 1, on the educational television sta-tion. , "However, a series of October debates on the commercial chan-nels would reach a much big-ger audience. Certainly it would stimulate voter interest, and would, I believe, ensure the most enlightened result possible on November 6." TODAY'S EDITORIALr Is Time to Regroup To Beat the Republicans The primary election is over. The members of both parties have named their final election slates. Victory in November may go to the party which is most successful in closing ranks after Tuesday's bal-loting. In view of the pre-prima-ry split that came to light in Salt Lake County it is extremely important that Dem-ocrats make every effort to regroup and present a com-mon front in November. Post election statements of defeated and victorious candidates alike indicate that this will be possible. If the candidates can work together after the primary it be-hooves their supporters to do likewise. rifNinjirritnTrnrnifiiiniJiiruirfifniuinunnruiHiiiiniTiiinnifiiiiimiiiiiiniiiiii'iiJuiiuus H 1 News Preview Automaker Romney's Mich-- 1 igan governorship campaign is being hurt badly by GOP factional feuding . . .
