W ge First r DiScuSSion Sets Forth 'New Goals' Debate 'Restricted' To Domestic Affairs CHICAGO (A -The rival presi- dential candidates clashed last night in unprecedented debate that left issues and positions un- changed, the goals for America in broad agreement, the methods of reaching them in dispute. Vice President Richard M. Nx- on, the Republican nominee, and Sen. John K. Kennedy, the Demo- cratic standard bearer, quarreled in public, before millions of tele- vision viewers, over such things as the farm problem and pay for teachers. At no time in the hour-long program did the issue of Kenne- dy's Roman Catholic religion en- ter into the discussions. Not Satisfied Kennedy said he definitely isn't satisfied with the way things are going in America and it must get on the move once more. Nixon challenged that. He said the coun- try is on the move, and that it racked up more progress in num- erous fields in the Eisenhower Administration than in the Tru- man regime. Under the ground rules, the de- bate was restricted almost com- pletely to domestic affairs. It ranged over such subjects as min- imum wage, school construction, cost of government, federal debt reduction, medical care for the aged, the economic race with Rus- sia, Communist subversion in the United States, and the relative experience of the two men. And when it was all over, two rather tense men relaxed a bit and agreed that this "great de- bate" was good for the country and perhaps themselves. 65 Million Viewers The broadcasting company es- timated that 65 million adults heard or saw the program via the networks. He said that would be a record for a political broad- cast. Actually, no new issues were brought out in last night's de- bate. Kennedy, particularly .in his opening remarks, pretty much made the same speech he has been making from Portland, Maine, to Portland, Ore. Nixon, particularly in his an- swers to questions, made the same points he has been making from Alabama to Hawaii. Right at the start, Kennedy declared: "I should make it very clear that I do not think we are doing enough; that I am not sat- isfied as an American with the progress we are making." Kennedy Request And then at the end, the Dem- ocratic nominee said that if the people feel that everything is be- ing done satisfactorily, "I think you should vote for Mr. Nixon." Nixon came back that he agreed completely with the spirit of Ken- nedy's position that the nation should move ahead. But he said moving ahead under Kennedy's program would cost 13 billion dol- lars more than under the Nixon plan. TV Complex For Debaters CHICAGO (M)-Nothing is sim- ple any more. And never was this better il- lustrated than in last night's so- called great debate between the two presidential candidates, Vice President Richard M. Nixon and Sen. John F. Kennedy. The producer-director, Don Hewitt, kept shouting out such comments as these: "Can I see a wider shot please," or "let's pull that camera in closer." AGAINST COMMUNISTS: Petitions Protest WS~sI3an Lift By MICHAEL OLINICK Aroused petitioners moved to gather 25,000 signatures protest- ing the lifting of a ban against Communist speakers at Wayne State University yesterday in the wake of a resignation of a member of one of the university's advisory boards who favored the ban. The petitions oppose a ruling by Wayne's Board of Governors who revoked the 10-year-old ban 11 days ago. Petitions are being distributed throughout Michigan and read: "We believe that to grant A Communists or pro-Communists permission to speak on the Wayne State University campus is to openly cooperate in the latest Com- munist campaign, laid bare by FBI chief J.

It will write a platform and run candidates in the upcoming Stu- dent Government Council election. The party's organizational mass meeting is set for 7:30 p.m. Thurs- day in the Henderson Rm. of the League. Stressing the unity of student movements around the world and the belief "we can and must work on our own campus to create a better university experience for all members of our community," the nascent party sees itself as a needed instrument for "defining and focusing attention on issues" important to students.

Khrushchev seen cutting up at Glen Cove as a prelude to later antics displayed before an audience of American Industrialists. Khrushchev ay usi Ready To Resume Talks NEW YORK ({--Nikita S. Khrushchev, lunching off 14 carat gold plates with a group of North American capitalists, said yester- day Russia is willing to resume disarmament talks-as long as they deal with total disarmament, rather than just the control of weapons. The Soviet Premier said he favors strict international control of disarmament. But he told a hotel luncheon, where he was guest of Cleveland financier Cyrus Eaton: "We are demanding disarmament precisely under control, and. not control over armaments. Danger Not Decreased "Indeed, control over armaments does not lessen the danger of a ture and use students and youth g Southerners See Change In Campaign HOT SPRINGS (M) - Southern governors supporting Sen. John F. Kennedy contended yesterday that fareign policy has become an overriding issue in the presidential campaign. Because of this some of them said the Democratic nominee is overcoming what they regard as widespread Dixie dissatisfaction over the party platform and op- position to the election of a Roman Catholic as President. Gov. Buford Ellington of Ten- nessee told a news conference at the 26th Annual Southern Gover- nors Conference that in his Judg- ment Kennedy's attacks on the Eisenhower administration's hand- ling of international affairs have become "the overriding issue in the campaign." "Our people are concerned about what is happening to Latin Amer- ica, particularly with reference to Cuba and Castro," Ellington said. Ellington predicted Kennedy will win his state's 11 electorial votes in a close battle with Vice Presi- dent Richard M. Nixon, the Re- publican presidential nominee. Ellington said he based this part on the belief that opposition to: Kennedy because of his religion has died down. He said that his mail, which previously ran 75-25 against the Democratic candidate on this count, shifted and now is pro-Kennedy. Gov. Price Daniel predicted flatly that Kennedy will wrap up Texas' 24 electorial votes. Daniel said Kennedy's appeal to move ahead toward great military strength andrtoward action in international affairs has helped swing voters behind him. Gov. Bert T. Combs said in a separate interview that things are looking up for Kennedy in doubt- ful Kentucky, where 10 electoral votes are at stake. "It's not going to be easy to carry Kentucky especially since it's the home state of Sen. Thrus- ton B. Morton, the Republican national chairman." roups and we further believe that the Communist party is a con- spiracy which incidiously plots the violent overthrow of our govern- ment." Resigns Post Clarence R. Landrigan, one of the more than 50 members of Wayne's Businessmen's. Advisory Committee, resigned his post Sat- urday in opposition to the Board ruling. Questioned on his position yesterday, Landrigan said, "Com- munists are atheistic and destruc- tive. Atheism is a principle doc- trine of communism and Commu- nists are working for the destruc- tion of our political system. "I am not opposed to letting others speak about communism on our campus, in fact I encourage instruction about it. But I feel our own people should be the ones to teachhcommunism. Any Communist who came on the campus to speak would surely use his opportunity to propagandize." Led By Adults This campaign to re-establish the ban is being led by two adults not connected with Wayne, Anne Byerlein and Donald Lobsinger. Miss Byerlein, a registered nurse, said, "It is not necessary to taste poison in order for it to kill you. Communism should be treated like bubonic plague, for the more con- tact you have with it, the more your immunity is worn down." Lobsinger claimed that the pe- tition signatures were "coming in so fast I couldn't estimate their number." The former University of Detroit student said he could not understand the Board's de- cision, "With the Communist par- ty in America stronger than it ever was before, I can see no log- ic in lifting the ban against Red speakers." Not Students "We are not students at Wayne, and we don't really care what the students there believe," he added, "but we are voters of the state and the Board is responsible to us. As voters, we feel that a state- supported institution should have nothing at all to do with Com- munists." The petitioners received a lift Sunday when Governor Nelson Rockefeller endorsed their cause by signing the protest letter while he was in the Detroit area cam- paigning for the national GOP ticket. Auditor General Addresses YD's on Politics, Civil Rights By MICHAEL HARRAH State Auditor General Otis M. Smith addressed the Young Dem- ocrats last night with a barrage of subtle criticism for the Repub- licans, praise for the Democratic slate, brief references to something called 'Rule Nine,' and near admission the Republicans will gain control of the next legislature. Though his topic was the "Democratic Party and Civil Rights," Smith prefaced his remarks with a general rundown of the Demo- cratic ticket, terming Sen. Johns F. Kennedy (D - Mass.) . as "straight-forward," Sen. Lyndon k B. Johaon (D-Tex.) as "a doer,'' I e Lsr s and Sen. Patrick V. McNamara () (D-Mich.) as "a conscience of the United States Senate.

The committee asserts "we stu- dents are determined to be an active and effective voice in our times." This can best be done through political action, hence the attempt to organize a political party. 'MeaningfulVoice. The committee further feels "SGC can become a government in the truest sense of the word; educating, acting when appropri- ate, and creating a meaningful student voice." The party will be a "do-some- thing" organization, spokesman Robert Ross, '63, said, and its ap- peal will be "broadly based." It will not appeal "to one group as the opposite of another," because its basic motivation is for all "aware" students. Action would be taken on the basis of the consensus of mem- bers. Statement of Principle Ross says any opposition would probably not arise until after the party's first statement of principle, which he expects will be reached Thursday. "The opposition party would be based on our platform." Ross, hopes the opposition will be on substance, and not the new party's right to organize. The group will decide whether to apply for SGC recognition when it is organized. (SGC must recognize, by approving iti? con- stitution, any student group that wishes to use University facili- ties.) The federal government does not "recognize" parties, Ross argues, and SGC debate on the technical form of the constitution implies debate on substance, so the party may not apply for recognition. Dues Financing Party financing will come from members' dues once the party or- ganizes. At present the 18 com- mittee members are paying ex- penses from their own pockets. Ross said the Henderson Room holds 150 people and that "we expect to fill it and more" at the organizational meeting. Vice-President for Student Af- fairs James A. Lewis said the new party "might help to get issues out into the open." He added that, on other campuses, organization of a political party has tended to stimulate others. l f i s 4 t i a r' 10 elevise MSU Game For the first time in many years, students of the University and of Michigan State University will be able to watch the annual football game between the two schools on television. It was announced Friday by MSU Athletic Director Clarence "Biggie" Munn that special per- mission had been granted by the National Collegiate Athletic Asso- ciation to televise this Saturday's game over MSU's educational TV station, WMBS (channel 10). For the last 13 years, the an-" nual encounter has been a sellout, but despite repeated protests of state legistlators that people in the state srould be allowed to see the game between the two state-supported schools, the NCAA has failed to alter its established policies. The NCAA's policy is that a game not scheduled as part of the weekly NCAA program may not be televised if there is another college game within a 90-mile radius - whether the game is a sell-out or not. There is a loop-hole, however, and it this which enables WMBS to televise this week's game. That rule states that, if the game is sold out, the college involved may telecast it within a 70-mile radius, without sponsor, over its own educational TV station. This means that in addition to: the approximately 5,000 Univer- sity students who are expected to attend the game, the about 20,000 remaining in Ann Arbor will be able to see the game on channel 10.

Control over armaments is fruitless in the economic, sense of the word, as well, since it does not alleviate the burden of the arms race which, in its entirety, lies on the shoulders of the nations." Khrushchev's speech to a group of American and Canadian busi- nessmen was his first formal public appeal to world opinion since his address last week to the United Nations. The leader of world communism told his host, Eaton, and the oth- ers: "The Soviet delegation has come to New York to the United Nations Assembly to prove again and again the vital necessity of general and complete disarma- ment under international control. I repeat-under strict interna- tional control... To Help Clarify "We are ready to sit down at the conference table and help to clarify those questions that are not clear. But before sitting at this table to conduct negotiations, firm agreement must be reached that we must resolve the disarmament problem. He said he preferred Kennedy's stand, which endorses the Su- preme Court decision, sit-ins, and other institutions, indicating he felt the people needed to be shown a solution. "I am happy that the Vice- President has recognized a prob- lem in the area of civil rights," he said, "but I can't see where he has presented any solution," (referring to Nixon's 'leave it to the people' statement). "We've got to break up this coalition of Republicans and Dix- iecrats," he went on. "They are blocking vital legislation. We must fill the halls of Congress with liberal Northern Democrats." He concluded by answering questions about the situation in the state saying that "a Con-Con is not the answer to our prob- lem. Real constitutional and tax revision is what we need," he pointed out calling for appropri- ate reapportionment. Eisenhower Joined Nehru in pledging to press ahead toward world disarmament as the surtst way to ease dangerous East-West tensions. In his first face-to-face meeting with Nasser afterward, Eisenhower, outlined the reasons he firmly opposes Khrushchev's one-man campaign to replace Hammar- skjold with a triumvirate. White House spokesmen declin- ed to say whether Nehru and Nasser promised to side with the United States in trying to block Khrushchev's plan. Nasser said his talk with Eisen- hower was very friendly. The meeting helped strengthen re- lations with his government, he added. Eisenhower, cheered on his ar- rival by three-quarters of a million New Yorkers, endorsed Hammar- skjold's stand a few rours after flying in from Washington, by way of Philadelphia. Jet Crashes Near iTampa ST. PETERSBURG W - A $2.5 million Air Force bomber crashed last night in Tampa Bay and two Coast Guard helicopters sent to the rescue also plunged into the water. All of the 10 men involved were rescued. One suffered minor in- juries. A 13-year-old boy, Robert Singleton, spotted the flaming six- jet bomber as it headed downward toward the bay. He summoned his father as the plane's crew bailed out. Together they went to the scene in a 15-foot boat and rescued six of the men, three of them from the B47 and the others from a helicopter. "They told me, 'Man, you're the prettiest person we've ever seen,' when we picked them up," Owen Rex Singleton reported. The other helicopter, carrying four men, crashed in water near shore and the men were taken to the Coast Guard station at St. Petersburg. The B47, from MacDill Air ForceBase at nearby Tampa, crashed only a short distance south of heavily populated St. Petersburg. A Mac Dill spokesman said the plane, from a bomb wing of the Strategic Air Command was un- armed and on a training mission. The stratojets at MacDill are cap- able of carrying atomic bombs.

In tracing the nationalization of England's school system, the speaker, a former president of the Hull Teachers' Training Col- lege and an authority on Ameri- can educational history, noted that England's public schools give students the opportunity of learn- ing about the Christian religion, "upon which our morality is bas- ed." This 'and other features of the Government secondary educa- tion was offered for the first time early in this century, although students were required to pay a fee. Under the 1944 act, the govern- ment took responsibility for all students from 5 to 18 years of age, and nationalized teachers' colleges a year later. The new system discriminates according to ability by a system of examina- tions, but it is all free of charge. Government Burden %Sixty per cent of the cost of the schools is borne by thesgovern- ment, and 40 per cent by the lo- cal educational authorities. Schools sponsored by religions, which have h en imnnrtant in The speaker feels that this teaches students to "reverence. Something worth their reverence, and not false totalitarian idols." Act Aided The Education Act was aided by other welfare acts of the same period, she said. The National Health Service has greatly Im- proved the health of the students and their parents.
