JFK Stumps
For Demos
HARRISBURG, Pa. (UPD President Kennedy, opening hi cam
paign for more Democrats in Congress, said Thursday night the
voters must decide whether the nation moves ahead of returns
to what he called the "do-nothing government" of the Eisenhower
administration.
Kennedy told a crowd of about 10,000 persons in a dirt-floored
livestock arena here that the 87th Congress had not "measured up
to all that I had hoped."
What is needed, he iaid, is a "progressive Congress in short,
Democratic Congress."
The President opened his formal fall effort to boost the House
and Senate Democratic majon-
Damage Suit

LOS ANGELES IUPI) Prcsi
dent Kennedy filed a response
Thursday to a $450,000 suit
naming him and others as de
fendants in an auto accident
during the 1960 Democratic
Convention. The President said
he did not directly participate
In leasing the car involved.
Four Mississippi delegates to
the convention, state Sen. Hugh
Bailey, Circuit Judge Walter
O'Barr Jr., Mrs. Jimmie Lee
Hills and William Austin,
brought suit, claiming they
were injured in an accident
July 12, 1960, while driving in
a car leased by the Kennedy
campaign organization.
The President, in the response
filed under order of Superior
Judge Philbrick McCoy, said he
did not directly participate in
leasing the car but was aware
it was leased under supervision
of his brother, Atty. Gen. Rob
ert K. Kennedy.
The President said the car
was rented "solely for two uses:
First, in connection with the
business of the convention and
the operations of the Kennedy
campaign organization; and sec
ond, for the use and at the re
quest of governors, members of
tho U. S. Senate, members of
tho U. S. House of Representa
tives, mayors of cities and oth
ers of comparable position."
The response said the Presi
dent was aware the car was in
volved in an accident and was
informed it was driven by a
volunteer campaign worker,
George S. Zarett.
Writ Issued
In Tax Case
SALEM (UPD Oregon Tax
Judge Peter Gunnar issued a
writ of mandamus this week or
dering Marion County Assessor
Harold Domogalla to show
cause why a street lighting levy
at Woodburn should not bo ex
tended into the 1962-63 tax year.
Tho city of Woodburn asked
for the writ, complaining that
Domogalla should extend it.
Woodburn voters approved
tho levy last May.
However, Domogalla contends
the levy is illegal because it was
stated tn the voters in mills
rather than in dollars and cents.
The Oregon Tax Commission
agreed, and under a commission
order Domogalla took the levy
off the tax rolls Monday.
His appearance before Judge
Gunnar to answer the writ is
set for 1:30 p.m. Oct, S here

didacy of former Philadelphia
Mayor Richardson Dilworth and
the reelection of Sen. Joseph
Clark.
Speaking in the home state of
his predecessor, former Presi
dent Dwight D. Eisenhower,
Kennedy did not mention him
by name. But he said that it
was indeed a "cold day" when
he took office in January, 1961.
"The nation's engine was
idling," he said. "Around the
world the picture was even
more dreary."

The dinner in the exhibition
hall of the state farm show
grounds and a speaking program
in the adjacent arena had the
colorful air of a political con
vention. Brass bands blared and
groups of pretty girls in straw
hats roamed the aisles.
The President promised that
with more backers in Congress,
the administration would enact
such legislation as medical care
for the aged and federal aid to
education, which failed to get
through the 87th Congress.
"More is at stake than what
parly controls the Congress and
the various state governments,"
Kennedy said. "The American
people on Nov. 6 must choose
whether this nation is to sail or
anchor down to deadlock and
drift."
Upon arrival, he told an au
dience at the airport that "we
saw today in the House ... a
very clear indication of why this
election is so important.
"We passed in the House by
five voles an agricultural bill
which will save this country
nearly a half-billion dollars, as
well as protect the economic
rights of American agriculture:
and we lost in tho House a bill
of assistance to higher educa
tion, and three-fourths of the
Republican Party voted against
it."

Dirksen Says College Bill 'Dead as a Dodo'
WASHINGTON (UPD The
compromise college aid hill was
in a deep congressional coma
Friday. Senate Republican
Leader Everett M. Dirksen pro
nounced it "dead as a dodo."
The $2.3 billion measure, last
vestige of President Kennedy's
education program, was rejected
by the House Thursday, 214
186. The House instructed its ne
gotiators to return to a Senate
House conference and secure
elimination of a proposed $600
million student loan program.
There was considerable doubt,
however, as to whether Senate
conferees would meet with the
House on these conditions and
some doubt about whether any
further revised bill could win
approval in the adjournment
conscious Congress.
One Senate conferee, Sen.
Pat McNamara, D-Mich., said he
would recommend against any
further Senate-House confer
ence which could end in dead
lock. He said the "onus for kill

AQUARIUM: Sen. William
Proxmire, D-Wis., said a pro
posed $10 million national
aquarium here would be "the
most extravagant, goldplated
fish bowl in world history." He
said that to "spend money on
a pure luxury when we have an
enormous budget deficit and
critical national needs is as
foolish as Marie Antoinette's
saying 'Let them eat cake' when
she was told her people had no
bread."
Perched Atop Utility Poles
Nuclear Explosions
Detected by Sensors
By RALPH DIGHTON
Of the Akiociatcd Prcn
LAS VEGAS. Nev. While
you're driving, keep your eye
peeled for a white bucket perch
ed atop a utility pole.
If you spot one, chances are
it's a nuclear bomb explosion
detector, the existence of which
was disclosed in a news confer
ence Thursday at the Air Force
Assn. convention.
A network of these detectors
has been installed in 99 critical
target areas of the United
States. There are three detec
tors, located 11 miles from pre
dicted prime targets, in every
major military and civilian
center.
Not all detectors are on util
ity poles, but an Air Force
spokesman said that's a good
place to put them because they
are made and serviced by West
ern Union.
The Air Force said the net
work of blast sensors will give
almost instant notice of attack

This information, the Air
Force said, will help authorities
make "decisions that can spell
the difference between survival
and annihilation."
Each detector is housed in a
white aluminum cylinder about
12 inches high and 9 inches in
diameter. On top of the cylinder
are photo cells sensitive only
to a type of light peculiar to
nuclear detonation.
Te Air Force said the device
cannot be triggered falsely by
lightning, fire or other sources
of light.
The system does not provide
advance warning of nuclear at
tack but is designed to verify
impact areas predicted by the
Ballistic Missile Early Warning
System.
