Humphrey, the Democratic candidate. Richard M. Nixon, Republican, and George C. Wallace. American Independent party, state their views on major issues in the 19tiS presidential election. Here are the questions asked by Associated Press editors and the gist of the rb ft candidates answers: Q. lluw would you deal with racial orders such as rioting and looting? tA dis- klwvil' When a riot occurs, there must be rapid introduction of sufficient manpower into the area for quick and prompt action, including if necessary augmentation of the police force by adequate numbers of military National Guard or regular Army. The emphasis must be on additional men rather than on guns. Use minimum force. But make arrests rapidly and in sufficient number to stem the tide of violence, arrests rather than shooing. As president, I will direct that units of the National Guard in each state be given additional training in riot control, teamwork and planning, and that small, highly trained units be kept on continual alert, as long as necessary, for use by any community, for short term service. People must be given accurate and truthful information. This requires the careful cooperation of radio, television and press. It is absolutely essential that TV, in particular, and press, secondarily, accept their responsibility in these riot situations to report the facts but not to inflame the situation further. j f.tr jC , Humphrey: -- M: .

Handling a riot requires more than the usual police training . . . "That is why I would set up a National Academy for the training of law enforcement officials, in which we would develop not only the best techniques, make them really experts to deal with organized crime, and the general crime that we are concerned about, but with Nixon: Rioting in the first instance must be dealt with by swift action at the beginning. We need an early warning system in all the communities in the event that a riot begins, a massive display of adequate police force. And in the event ... M. Nixon . .

Countless smaller projects at universities across the land are in the same By HAL KNIGHT e In an effort to save money the U.S. may be strangling the scientific goose that lays the golden eggs and keeps this nation's technolo gy in high gear. The Vietnam war has produced a crucial budget which pinch. is ' The crippling many scientific projects, bu. thats rot the biggest problem.

Demands for tire money to be diverted to poverty programs, ghetto unrest, urban blight, crime, disease and pollution are being seriously considered. Already the U.S. space program may be on its last legs. Despite recent suc ' i two months old when these edicts came, part of the money had already been spent, Dr. Partridge said. In addition, funds for fellowships and trainees couldnt be touched. As a result, the rest of our research projects were slashed by more than 30 percent, he said. By shuffling programs around and being very frugal, the U. will continue its scientific work in most areas, but the biggest squeeze will be in the realm of which Utah, receives more federal scientific research ..basic research.

In helping the artists and those who work for and with them close their communication gaps with the general public, the Second Annual Govemo.s Arts Conference will consider the roles of the state, the corporation, the schools and arts educators, the independent teachers, the volunteer workers of the various community concert series, and the fine artists, writers, and dancers, in prei senting their arts to the public. ' The Conference on the Arts Is one of helping solve the artists problem of getting his product before the public. And he learns to do this by working through organizations, such as galleries, competitions, guilds, and associations. He needs both institutional and personal patronage. One role the Arts Councils can serve is to serve as a broker between the artist and institutions. The aits are in a convulsive state that frequently bewilders the public. New fads reflect the "seeking and searching" of people. Each form of art affects all other forms, and a new development In painting eventually finds expression in music. Emphasis frequently appears to be on quantity, often at the expense of means quality.
