Show Poll Indicates GOP Victory HARKIMAN SLAMS REPUBLICANS Averill Harriman, of New York, in a fiery presentation before a group consisting of students, faculty, and townspeople on Monday, November 31st, denounced the Republican national candidate with the candor that only an experienced barnstorming politician can muster. Harriman, recognized expert in the field of foreign affairs, laid particular emphasis on foreign policy.. Here it is as he stated it "Mr. Nixon is trying to content that everything is all right in the world when every reporter who returns from a broad reports a decline (in our prestige) . . . We are no longer associated with the hopes and aspiration of the people. We are against communism but what are we for? The ideology struggle is the really decisive struggle in the world. On Russia: Vice President Nixon is attempting to put over a great hoax he claims unique qualification for dealing with the Kremlin because of his ecounter ,with Khrushchev in the kitchen. Either 'he doesnt understand the job, or hes trying to fool the American people. I have negotiated with Stalin and other Soviet leaders. I know Khrushchev. I can assure Mr. Nixon that no amount of rude language or bluster will change Kremlin policy. In fact, the Soviets like it when we descend to their level of international vituperation. Quemoi: I think there is nothing more reckless (than Nixons Quemoy-Mats- u policy). This way we put ourselves . under the control of k who wants us to Chang go to war on the mainland. Africa: These countries, recently admitted to the United Nations, hoped that we would show an interest in their problems. Unhappily, in six of them we do not even have a resident diplomatic representative. In these and others we have also completely neglected to offer a helping hand. They all know of our technical assistance programs and a number of their leaders asked why we had not included their countries in these program. I was asked directly, Is it because we have no Communist crisis that we do not qualify for your assistance? It is shocking that this Administration should have permitted this image of America to be created that we are only against communism and are not ready to support freedom. Mr. Harriman also made reverence to other active campaign issues. Economics: It is an archaic philosophy of economics that (suggests) we can only combat inflation with unemployment. The heavy hand of conservatism has been stuning our growth in re-- , cent years. Civil Rights: Nixon had a chance (chairman of committee on government contracts) but he didnt do 'cananything. No contracts were taken cases up. few celled and Lastly, but definitely not least. Governor Harriman pursued the subject of national leadership. We must develop our own strength, militarily, economically, and in social progress. Under his chance inspiration we will have the in the leadership to give again Kai-she- Living Issue Week Looms Ahead .

This revealing speech (Nixons speech at Los Angeles) confirms the impression that Mr. Nixon is an indecisive man who lacks that inner conviction and which are the mark of the natural leader and governor of men. The contrast with Mr. Kennedy has become very sharp. It has been truly impressive to see the precision of Mr. Kennedys mind, his immense command of the facts, his singular lack of demogoguery and sloganeering, his stability and steadfastness, his coolness and his courage the recognizable marks of the man who, besides being highly trained, is a natural leader, organizer and ruler of men. As seen above, Mr. Harriman speaks for himself for one could never adequately speak for him without losing that definite flavor of fire and brimstone. Gail-Le- e Mascolo well-plann- ed - |
