Vice Presidential
Candidates Trade
Political Blows
The Republican and Democratic
vice presidential candidates were
slugging it out on a personal basis
last night.
In a Montana-wide radio talk
from Missoula, Sen. Estes Kefauv
er of Tennessee, the Democratic
nominee, said Vice President Nix
on “came up with a whopper”
Wednesday in claiming that the
Eisenhower Administration “part
nership" policy was the best to
accomplish development of power
resources.
“The truth is,” said Kefauver,
“that not one single kilowatt hour
of electricity has been produced
under the Eisenhower partnership
policy.”
Nixon, speaking in Spokane,
Wash., last night accused Kefauv
er of “below the belt, low-road
tactics.”
The vice president was roused
by Kefauver’s statement two days
ago that Eisenhower “has person
ally been working just as hard
against the little people of this
nation as those who surrounded
him."
Nixon called this statement a
“thinly-veiled attempt to give the
impression that the President . . .
is deliberately working against a
large segment of our population.”
Mrs. Audrey Cutting
In Extradition Hearing
For Larceny Charge
ANCHORAGE—Deputy U . S .
Marshal Gene King of Horner has
gone to Denver, where he will
testify at an extradition hearing
Sept. 21 for Audrey Cutting, for
mer real estate dealer here who
is charged with larceny by bailee.
King will serve as a witness in
identifying the woman, who is
fighting the return to here.
If extradition is granted, he
will bring Mrs. Cutting back, U.S. !
Marshal Fred Williamson said.
Mrs, Cutting is accused of im- |
properly taking funds belonging
to a client in a real estate trans
action.
Her first trial, on a similar but
not identical charge, was marked
by the defendant’s lying down in
court during the entire proceed
ings. She was convicted, granted
a re-trial, but fled the jurisdic
tion of the court. Her arrest on
the present indictment came after
she had sent a number of libel
suits, totalling millions of dollars,
from various points in the states
' but all notarized in Denver where
she was finally arrested.
Most of the suits were against
Anchorage area people but one,
for about $24 million, was against
the Peshtigo Times in her home
state of Wisconsin.

Republicans Accept Democratic
Challenge For Debate Between
Del. Bartlett and Byron Gillam
ANCHORAGE, 1*1 — A series ofl
Bartlett-Gillam debates on cam
paign issues received official Re
publican organization approval
Wednesday with some specific
provisos attached.
A debate between the two con
gressional candidates originally
was proposed by Democratic sup
porters of Delegate Bartlett, so
the new development brought a
likely prospect of a debate clash.
Under conditions set by the Re
publican Territorial Central Com
mittee, the debates between Bart
lett and Byron A. Gillam would
be held at Ketchikan, Nome, An
chorage and Fairbanks and would
be telecast.
In a telegram of acceptance
wired by C. Kip Hiddleston, Re
publican territorial campaign
manager, to Bartlett at his Juneau
headquarters, these dates were
proposed:
Ketchikan, between Sept. 26
and 28; Nome, Sept. 28 and 30;
Anchorage, Sept. 30 to Oct. 2; and
Fairbanks, Oct. 6 to 8.
The original proposal for the
Record Low Temperatures
Nip Midwestern States
Arctic air rolled over the Great
Lakes region Thursday and
pushed temperatures down to
record lows for the date at many
points.
Thousands of midwestterners
felt the pinch of freezing weather
for ti\e first time since last spring.
Record lows for the date im
eluded 27 at Green Bay, Wis., 28
at Madison, 30 at Milwaukee.
The lowest was 14 above at
Fraser, Colo.
Chicago's 38 was the lowest
ever registered there this early
in the cool-off season — autumn
doesn’t begin until tomorrow.
AT ROTARY MEETING—
At Rotary meeting Thursday
noon, there were three guests:
Linus Pearson, Alaska represent
ative of the Manhattan Life In
surance Co.; Del O’Dare, of the
Rough Riders Room at the Roose
velt Hotel of Seattle, and Rev.
Thomas Knudsen of Nome.
Chairman Joe Kroninger of the
Club Service Committee called on
subcommittee chairmen to re
port on their work.
A film was shown, “Hawaiian

debate was issued by the Gas
tineau Democratic Club a month
ago. On Sept. 12, the Third Divi
sion Democratic Club issued an
other invitation for the debate,
suggesting it be held in Anchor
age.
Hiddleston’s telegram to Bart
lett said in part:
“The Republican Territorial
Central Committee advises you
Gillam accepts the challenge . . .”
It also said that “firm assur
ance” was wanted that “should
Delegate Bartlett cancel an ap
pearance, under no condition will
he fail to keep Anchorage sched
ule between Sept. 30 to Oct. 2 . . .
For maximum communication to
the most people, all debates to be
on television with all available
local radio station tie-ins.”
Other conditions proposed in
cluded that the persons in the
studios at the time of the tele
cast and broadcast should be lim
ited to Gillam, Bartlett, the of
ficial timekeeper and the TV
cameraman.
No substitute for either man
would be permitted and there
would be no limitation on the
choice of issues either candidate
may wish to introduce.
Delegate Bartlett would speak
first, for 20 minutes, with Gillam
to follow for 20 minutes. Each
would then also have two five
minute periods to reply.
Earlier Wedn&s'day at Fair
banks, Paul Solka, Democratic
campaign manager for Alaska,
charged that Republican cam
paign leaders had been using
“dodging tactics” to avoid the de- I
bate.
