Candidate John Kennedy Promises
Campaign to Carry America Beyond
“New Frontier** Into the Space Age
By JACK BELL
LOS ANGELES, UK—Sen. John
F. Kennedy took personal com
mand of the Democratic party
machinery Saturday after bluntly
laying the religious issue on the
campaign line.
In a dramatic address accepting
the first presidential nomination
given to a Roman Catholic since
1928. Kennedy told a cheering
throng of 60,000 in Los Angeles’
sprawling Coliseum:
“I am telling you now what
you are entitled to know: That my
decisions on every public policy
will be my own—as an American,
a Democrat and a free man.”
Moments after the sun had dip
ped below the rim of the vast
stadium, Kennedy strode to the
podium to lay down a blueprint
for a fighting campaign to carry
America beyond the “New Fron
tier” into a space age he said
demands “a new generation of
leadership.”
But as a preliminary to his
promise to provide “creative
Democratic leadership in the
White House,” the 43-year-old
Massachusetts senator grasped
the issue of his Catholicism by the
forelock and shook it out for his
GOP opponents to inspect.
“1 hope no American, consid
ering the critical issues facing
this country, will waste his fran
chise by voting either for me or
against me solely on account of
my religious affiliation,” he said.
The shirt-sleeved crowd, which
filled about two-thirds of the ex
pansive reaches of seats roared
back its approval.
And, speaking with scorn, Ken
nedy brought up the name of the
man certain to lead the Republi
can party against Kennedy in the
fall—Vice President Richard M.
Nixon.
The Democratic candidate de
scribed Nixon as “a man who has
spoken or voted on every known
issue.”
“Mr. Nixon may feel it is his
turn now, after the New Deal and
the Fair Deal—but the cards will
be cut before he deals.” Kennedy
said.
In Washington. Thruston B.
Morton, Republican chairman,
said Kennedy’s card-cutting ref
erence “was prompted by the fact
that he has been playing with his
own stacked deck at the Demo
cratic convention.”
Turning to world affairs, Ken
nedy defined the “New Frontier”
— which he obviously hoped to
make as much of a catch phrase
as the New Deal and Fair Deal
had become — as “a frontier of
unknown opportunities and per
ils—a frontier of unfilled hopes
and threats.”
