Today's big news (this Is
written on Tuesday) is unques
tionably Monday night's big
' debate between Democratic
" Candidate Kennedy and. Re
publican candidate Nixon.
- I think all of us who watch
ed it and listened to it will
agree that BOTH were VERY
GOOD indeed. It was touch
. and go irom the beginning
: Neither knew what the other
-might fire at him. Neither
. knew what questions the lis-
:tening correspondents might

ask him.
Neither got caught short at
any time. Both displayed re
markable knowledge of all
the political maneuvers of the
past. Their knowledge was
intimate and detailed, indicat
ing close and careful prepara
tion for the job they are tack'
ling.
' There can be little doubt
that both are capable young
men.
". TOU were interested, of
course. Otherwise, you
wouldn't have listened in. Let
me ask you a personal question:
If you knew last night
: which one you were for, did
what was said and HOW it
was said change your alle
giance? If you were undecid
ed, did what was said and
' how it was said change your
uncertainty to definite sup-
port of one or the other?
TiERHAFS I'd better answer
- my own question. Person
ally, I have had (and still
have) the feeling that neither
. will hesitate to spend money
or to unbalance the budget if
; he feels it is necessary to do
so.
r But-
I have had (and still have
rafter listening to the debate)
the feeling that Mr. Kennedy,
-if elected, will spend more
and will hesitate less about
budget imbalance than Mr
. Nixon. So (feeling that reck-
less spending will be very
dangerous in the years to
come) I'm still for Mr. Nixon.
THAT seems to have been
the general reaction. The
; Associated Press made a
quickie survey after the de-
. bate, questioning 100 people
in ten cities from coast to
coast. This was the result:
. Almost twice as many of
those who said they were in
fluenced thought Kennedy
made a better showing than
Nixon. Most of these, how-
ever, said they had FAVORED
KENNEDY previously and
were reinforced in their opin
ion by the debate. Those who
leaned to the belief that Nixon
.made a better showing in the
debate also previously favored
him.
Of the 100 persons ques
tioned, 65 said the debate had
not changed their opinions at
all. Of the 35 AFFECTED by
the debate, two definitely
witched from Nixon to Ken
nedy and 21 said the debate
influenced or REINFORCED
a preference for Kennedy. No
one said he had switched from
Kennedy to Nixon and 11 said
"the debate influenced or RE
INFORCED a preference for
Nixon. One person said he
had switched, but refused to
disclose which candidate now
liad his allegiance.
THAT is to say:
If this tiny sampling
(which was made IMMEDI
ATELY after the end of the
debate) has any significance
at all, it indicates that Mr.
Kennedy came out of he first
debate a shade ahead, v
' There will be three other
debates. It will be interesting
to note how they affect pre
vious preferences.
INEVITABLY, these debates
(there will be four of them
altogether) call to memory the
famous Lincoln-Douglas de
bates 102 years ago. '
. There were seven of them.
THERE WAS THEN NO RA
DIO OR TV. Their impact was
limited to those within ear
shot of the speakers. That rep
resented a tiny percentage of
ihe total population of that
day The four I960 debates
will be heard and watched by
A VERY LARGE PERCENT
AGE of our total present pop
ulation. But this piece is already
long enough. Discussion of the
Lincoln-Douglas debates will
have to wait, :
