Forth, Health And Education Are Viewed
By Teeners As Requisites For Presidency
Between now and the tecond
Tuesday in November we will be
hearing a great deal about the
respective qualifications of Richard
Nixon and John Fitzgerald Ken
nedy (or the office of President of
the United States.
The Constitution prescribes only
two: that the office holder be 35
years of age and born in the United
States. All other conditions are pre
scribed by the nominating con
ventions of bolli major parties and,
in the final analysis, by the ele
torate itself.
In general, whit an the qualifi
cations mat most voters expect in
a candidate for President? What
should ho be and mean in the opin
ion of most people to win the
highest office in the land?
We put these questions to 985
teen agers across the country in an
attempt to determine the image
that young America has of what
a presidential candidate should be
of should not be. None of the
youngsters interviewed will be
eligible to vole on Nov. 8. Indeed,
few of them will be able to vote
when the next presidential election
rolls around in 1964.
Despite their tempoiary status
of onlookers in this great national
drama, we found most of the teen

BURBANK, Calif. (AP) - A
young widow spoke with her eyes
Tuesday and helped undo the plot
of a man who had kidnaped her
baby daughter, the FBI reported.
Betty UUerback, 21, said a man
she met on a blind date a week
earlier stopped by her home and
asked to take her 21-monlh-old
daughter Cynthia on a shopping
trip with him.' He left with the
child,' she said, but returned 15
minutes later without Cynthia and
demanded $8,500 for her return.
Then, Mrs. UUerback said, the
man forced her to accompany
him to her bank and stood near
her as she asked to make a with
drawal. "She gave me a sign with her
eyes that something was wrong."
said Barney L, Kotrbe, the bank
operations officer. Kotrbe said he
gave a sign to another employe,
who called the FBI. Agents seized
James E. Reinhardt as he was

Bloody Thumbprint
Convicts Slayer
SAM FRANCISCO (AP) - A
bloody thumbprint on a 19th cen
tury sword led to the conviction
here of Robert Lee Kidd for
the 1934 torture murder of a San
Francisco junk dealer.
Kidd was arrested in Val
paraiso, Ind., last June when he
fought in a bar brawl. A routine
fingerprint check showed police he
was the . man San Francisco au
thorities were seeking in the slay
ing of Albert Clarke, 71, a recluse.
The sword bearing Kidd's fin
gerprint was found near Clarke's
slashed body.
Kidd, 37, denied the crime and
said he and a friend were playing
with the sword and he cut his
thumb . on it. But he admitted
being: in Clarke's shop prior to
the slaying.
Judge Gerald Levin ordered the
juiv to return Oct. 26 to decide
whether Kidd dies in the gas
chamber or serves life in prison.

agers keenly interested in the im
pending battle between Republican
Nixon and Democrat Kennedy. All
had very definite ideas of what
a President should be.
"The Man Who. . ."
In the minds of most, with per
sonalities aside, it was felt that a
presidential candidate must at
least :
Believe in God.
Be a college graduate.
Be in reasonably good health.
Not have undergone psychiatric
treatment.
Never have belonged to the Com
munist Party.
Never have been conscientious
objector to the draft. .v
Not be an active advocate of
World Federalism.
These are the minimum things,
in the minds of most teen-agers,
that a candidate must not be to
qualify for President.
In other controversial areas, how
ever, they were far more lenient
than many of their elders.
For instance:
76 per cent said they would vote
for a candidate who was divorced.
53 per cent said they would vote
or a candidate over 65.
61 per cent would vote for ' a
candidate who had jumped parties.

School Text Book
Hearings Slated
' SALEM (AP) The Board of
Education' has voted to recom
mend that the Textbook Commis
sion hold a hearing on complaints
against some public school text
books. The action came after several
people had called some of the
books objectionable.
George Burgess, Tigard, said a
literature test for 9th graders,
"Adventures for Today," is
"cheap dime novel trash." He
said some other books were equal
ly objectionable.
May Darling, member of the
board, said the complaints should
go before the Textbook Commis
sion. "We have no authority to
say whether the books are good,
bad or indifferent." she said, cit
ing the law which provides that
the board name a five-member
commission to adopt the testbooka.
The board then is required to en
ter into contracts with the pub
lishers for them.
It was suggested to the board
that a lay committee he named
by the board to make recom
mendations to the commission.
In other action, the board ap
proved a report to the legislature
which would appropriate $155,000
for education of migrant children.
This report was based on a pilot
program of research into the edu
cation of children of migrant ag
ricultural workers.

95 per cent would vote for a
Protesiant.
70 per cent would vote for a
Catholic.
52 per cent would vote for a Jew.
More youngsters would reject a
candidate who had once been a
Communist (80 per cent), than one
who didn't believe in God (72 pel
cent). And far more would reject
a candidate in poor health (88 per
cent) than one who had under
gone psychiatric treatment (47 per
cent).
On the - atheism question. 17
year old Patricia Albright of Clare

majority viewpoint that 'the'
United States is a God-fearing na

should believe in God." Speaking
for the 24 per cent minority group
who would vote for a candidate
who did not believe in God, 18-year-old
Thomas Engelmann of
Charleston, S.C. argued that "just
because a man does not believe in
God, does not mean he is incap

polls asked the same question as

But most teen-agers (76 per cent)
seemed to agree with 17-year-old

Since Catholic John Kennedy- is
the Democratic nominee, the
thinking behind the 25 per cent who
would reject a Catholic candidate
may be of more than passing inter
est. Their objections ranged from
fear of the Pope and the candid

"essentially a Protestant nation by

Johnson Dislikes
'Earmarked' Post
WILLIAMSPORT. Pa. (AP)
Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson said here
day that no federal Cabinet post
should be earmarked for a Negro
just because of his race.
The Democratic vice-presidential
candidate said his Republican
opponent "is a promising man"
and has made some promises of
a Cabinet post for a Negro.
"Personally. I don't think a
man's race, religion, or section of
birth should bar him from any
post for which he is qualified."
Johnson told a crowd of some 500
persons gathered in front of the
Lycoming County courthouse.
"But," he continued, "neither
do I think that a Cabinet post
should be set aside for a Negro,
any more than 1 think it should
be set aside for a Texan, a Bap
tist, or a Catholic."
