Anderson, Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate nomination, told the Leader Saturday he would challenge his opponent. Sen. Wallace F. Bennett to a debate on the issues facing the voters in the current political campaign. The candidate was in Garland Saturday for the Wheat and Beet Days celebration and held an informal reception in Jack's Garage showroom.

Mr. Anderson, said he felt he had a better chance of beating the Democrat .nominee because he could swing some of that party's votes. "How many Democrats would vote for Republican seniority?" he asked. He said he was opposed to gun laws which he said may lead to confiscation, eventually would not stop crime, and would disarm decent citizens.
