Nixon - Mitchell
Exchange Touched
Off by Misquote
iRv nr A iA” ' Pmusi
Vice President Nixon says a.
look at 10 Senate races has con
vinced him Republicans hold the
lead in 9 while facing an uphill
battle to retain control of the
House of Representatives.
Nixon came in for renewed
criticism fro'm Chairman Stephen
A. Mitchell of the Democratic
National Committee, who accused
him of “playing a dishonest game
of words to give a false impres
sion.”
A spokesman said Mitchell was
standing behind his statement, al
though it was disclosed that the
Associated Press had misquoted
the Vice President in reporting
the speech which touched off this
particular exchange with Mitchell.
The AP had quoted Nixon as
saying in a Sept. 18 speech at
Huron, S.D., that the Eisenhower
Administration has “kicked the
Communists out of government
not by the hundreds, but by the
thousands.”
A playback Wednesday showed
that Nixon had said: “We’re kick
ing tlie Communists ' and fellow
travelers and security risks out of
the government, not by the hun
dreds but by the thousands.”
It was on the basis of the AP
account that Mitchell on Sunday
rccuscd Nixon of “an outright
falsehood.” Nixon said later that
Mitchell was “shooting from the
hip before he gets the facts.”
CLOSE-RANGE DUELERS
SUFFER ONLY FINANCIALLY
RICHMOND, Ky., UP!—T w o
Richmond men who dueled with
pistols at close range yesterday
suffered only financially.
Police .Chief Carl Newland said
Mack Drivers and James White
fired several shots at each other
—less than four paces apart.
Both escaped bodily harm, but
they were fined $10 and costs for
being drunk.
The early bird does catch the
worm, because worms withdraw
below the surface of the ground
at midday.
