Newspaper Page Textt Eisenhower Receive Washington XU.R) Sen. John J. Sparkman, Democratic vice presidential nominee, gave cau tious backing Saturday to the proposal for televised Eisenhower-Stevenson debates. Sparkman told reporters the TV debates would be "a good thing" provided the people "want them" and such an under taking could be arranged. Plan Put lo Stevenson The proposal, paralleling the historic Lincoln-Douglas debates of 94 years ago, will be .taken up with Stevenson at Springfield, 111., this week-end in a series of campaign strategy huddles which Sparkman, Democratic National Chairman Stephen A. Mitchell and other party leaders will at tend. , Mitchell told a news confer ence Friday that he regarded the idea of direct debates, first ad vanced by Sen. Blair Moody of Michigan, as "very interesting," and one which he would "cer- PLUS i"N0T SINCE THE THIRD MAN' HAS i THE SCREEN ' OFFERED US i SUCH AN EXCIT - ING CHASE!" -N.Y.

It's Fun -Stevenson ing of Democrats tainly" discuss with Stevenson. Mitchell added that he thought both Stevenson and Sparkman would come off very well in face-to-face debates with Eisen hower and Sen. Richard M. Nix on, the GOP vice presidential candidate. Lincoln-Douglas Debates By an odd twist of history, it was Stevenson's great grandfa ther, Jesse Fell, who arranged the Lincoln-Douglas debates dur ing the 1858 campaign between the two men for the Illinois Senate seat. Lincoln lost the Senate race to Douglas, but through the debates achieved a national prominence which con tributed greatly to his later suc cesful bid for the presidency. Sparkman, who said he per sonally would welcome partici pation in the TV debates, de clared that: "The people certainly are en titled to full and free discussion of all the issues by the candi dates. The most efficient way of getting that kind of discussion should prevail and everybody should cooperate in bringing this about. "If the people want it done by direct debate it seems to me that it would be a good thing." Expressed Interest Sen. Earle C. .Clements of Legality of Religious Freedom Law Doubted Seville, Spain (U.R) Pedro Cardinal Segura, Archbishop of Seville, said in a pastoral letter made public Saturday, he doubts the legality of the law guaran teeing religious freedom in Spain. The Archbishop's letter was directed against Article Six of the Spanish Bill of Rights. This provides that no one will be "molested" for his religious be liefs and private practice of his religion, although public cere monies are banned to all but Roman Catholics the state re ligion of Spain. Cardinal Segura said the 1945 Bill of Rights contradicts the Concordat of 1851 and the Span ish Constitution of 1876.

Clements pointed out that there might, be practical difficulties in scheduling face-to-face meetings between the can didates, but that with modern television facilities debates might be arranged emanating from two different points. An offer of free television or radio facilities for the direct de bates was made Friday night by the Nationol Broadcasting Co. NBC President Joseph H. Mc Connell said he his sent tele grams to both presidential candi dates saying that the company's facilities would be available "for such a debate if . you decide to follow such a course."
