Each ()ther In
4lh ‘Great Debate’
NEW YORK, UP) — The fourth
Nixon-Kennedy debate has gone
into history with both sides claim
ing success in an unprecedented
series that may — although the
possibility is slim—be extended
to another match.
Vico President Richard Nixon
and Sen. John Kennedy disputed,
challenged and rebuked each
other for the better part of an
hour Friday night before a tele
vision and radio audience spread
across the nation.
Whether or not the fourth de
bate would stir public demand
for an unplanned fifth, Kennedy
renewed his call on Nixon to meet
again and Nixon said he doesn’t
rule out anything.
Neither contestant personally
claimed victory in No. 4. Each
said it wasn’t his practice to do
so.
But Robert Kennedy, the sen
ator’s brother and campaign man
ager, said he felt the Democratic
candidate’s performance was his
best so far and the candidate him
self was very pleased.
Foreign policy was the subject
of the debate, and the antagonists
stuck to the theme.
They stood behind podiums
angled toward each other and
close enough for them to shake
hands, if they’d chosen. Each ap
peared more relaxed than in any
of their previous encounters.
Nixon wore makeup, and there
were no complaints about his ap
pearance as there were after the
first debate. Kennedy wore none.
They rapped each other crisply,
but their exchanges were not as
caustic as in their last engage
ment.
They clashed sharply over U.S.
policy toward Cuba. Nixon said
his Democratic rival had been ir
responsible as never before in
proposing aid to Cuban elements
hostile to both Fidel Castro and
former dictator Batista.
Kennedy said economic curbs
thrown against Cuba by the Ei
senhower administration and sup
ported by the GOP candidate
were inadequate to cope with
Communist penetration of the is
land republic less than 100 miles
from the U.S. coast.
On defense of Quemoy and
Matsu, which prompted restate
ments of the candidates’ views,
Kennedy challenged Nixon “to
deny that the administration has
sent at least several missions to
persuade Chiang Kai-Shek to
withdraw from these islands.”
Time ran out on the panelists’
questions and answers at that
point, and Nixon passed it over
in his closing summary.

Practically everyone has an odd
fear of some kind. Famous folk
are not immune. Kaiser Wilhelm
of Germany, for example, was
deathly afraid of cats. He had
palace guards inspect his bedroom
daily to be sure no meowers lurk
ed in the corners.
Many a man has succeeded
without the help of a good wom
an, but no man ever got far in
life without a fair amount of cal
cium. A 150-pound man contains
about 7 pounds of calcium, 99 per
cent of which is in his bones and
teeth.

If you were born in October,
your birthstone is the opal, which
signifies hope. An old rhyme says:
“October’s child was born for
woe and life’s vicissitudes must
know, but lay an opal on her
breast and hope will lull the woes
to rest.”
The Soviet Union is no tax-free

33 per cent of the national income
in Russia, compared to about 25
per cent in the United States.

A footnote to fame: When Anton
Chekhov, famous Russian author
of more than 700 short stories,
died of lung hemorrhage he was a
doctor himself but didn’t like to
undergo medical treatment by
others. His body was shipped to
Moscow in a refrigerator car
labeled: “For the conveyance of
oysters.”
A drop of water is itself a
