Debate In Senate
ST. HELENS, Ore. (AP) The
debate in the Senate Monday on
what Sen. John F. Kennedy (D
Mass) said while campaigning
here in Oregon's primary election
stemmed from a question put by
senior Wallace Compton.
Compton asked Kennedy, talking
at the high school here, what he
would have done had he been in
Eisenhower's place when the sum
mit meeting was breaking up.
Leonard Gartman, also a stu
dent at the school, tape recorded
the senator's talk. The tape show

reply:
"Once the Summit had broken
up, and once Mr. Khrushchev indi

We could not do that. It would be
highly unfair because the flight

that was a condition Mr. Khrush
