Nixon Sharply Critical of
Kennedy's Appeal for
Self-Censorship of News
DETROIT UP) — Richard M.
Nixon Monday was sharply criti
cal of President Kennedy’s appeal
for self-restraint or self-censorship
The former Vice President, on
a week-long political tour, told a j
Detroit Press Club luncheon: “The 1
whole concept of a return to
secrecy in peacetime demon
strates a profound misunderstand
ing of the role of a free press as
opposed to that of a controlled
press.”
Nixon said that in his dealings
with newspapermen he had found
they would cooperate fully when
they were dealt with honestly.
“The record of patriotic self- !
restraint,” Nixon said, “is a good
one.”

Police Officer Felled
By Chemical Dart
ATLANTA, Ga. UP — A slender,
neatly-dressed motorist apparent
ly regarded a speed cop who tried
to stop him as fair game.
He felled the officer with a
chemical dart such as naturalists
and others use to stun animals.
“It felt like a ton of bricks,”
patrolman E. A. Clements said of
the metal tipped dart fired into
his cheek at an intersection Mon
day night.
Clements added that he black
ed out for a minute and when he
recovered the speeder was gone.
Physicians removed the metal
barb from his left cheek. He said
he felt no after-effects other than
from the prick of a sharp-pointed
instrument.
A number of the dart guns and
darts were stolen recently from
a chemical firm. Police said the
owner of the firm had warned that
the barbs were dangerous in the
hands of untrained persons.

JFK's First 100 Days in
Office Receive Approval
From Teamster Boss Hoffa
WASHINGTON UP) — President
Kennedy’s legislative successes in
his first 100 days in office re
ceived grudging approval yester
day from a critic, James R. Hoffa,
President of the Teamsters Union.
Hoffa, who opposed Kennedy’s
election last fall, referred in a
signed editorial in his union mag
azine to four anti-recession ad
ministration measures that have
cleared Congress and been signed
into law.
“On the basis of these four
proposals,” Hoffa wrote, “it would
appear that Kennedy’s first 100
days have been successful.”
But he went on to say the Ken
nedy proposals are too moderate
and will do very little toward
alleviating unemployment.

Eisenhower's Gettysburg
Farm Needs Protection
From Invading Tourists
WASHINGTON UP — Former
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
needs protection against tourists
who are running all over his
Gettysburg, Pa., farm, the head
of the Secret Service said today.
“They come in and take plants
right off the farm as souvenirs,”
U.E. Baughmann told a House Ju
diciary subcommittee considering
a bill to extend Secret Service
protection to the Vice President
and former Presidents.
Present law leaves Secret Ser
vice protection up to the discre
tion of the Vice President and like
his predecessor, Richard Nixon—
Vice President Lyndon Johnson
has rejected continuous protec
tion, Baughman said.
