Wil liams Friday rejected criti cisms of highway construc tion practices In Oregon made by the U.S. General Account ing office. . GAO auditors in Washing ton D.C. said in a report to congress that the program of highways in Oregon financed by federal money has been 'adversely affected" by slack administration by ' the state. Montana was also criticized. The GAO said Oregon has not enforced penalties on some contractors when they fail to complete projects on lime. . ' Williams denied this, say ing the Oregon Highway com mission requires construction schedules in detail and penal ties have been levied against some' contractors wijo failed to comply. He termed the re port "very unjust and entire ly off base." bers of the chamber, officials said. Campaign Quotes By United Press International Vice President Richard M, Nixon (Speech on medical care for the aged at Cleve land, Ohio): His own plan for voluntary medical insurance has "a number of advantages" over the program proposed by Democratic nominee John F. Kennedy, who "offers only an empty promise three times rejected" by Congress. Kennedy's record on medi cal care is "up to bat three times, struck put three times . . . A month ago, he com pletely failed to persuade the congress controlled by his own party to pass this or any oth er points of the program he now promises the people." Nixon s medical plan would be voluntary, not forced on unwilling citizens, would be operated by the state with federal help and would build on and not destroy the encouraging progress being made by private health insurance." Nixon (also at Cleveland, in response to Kennedy's re marks on Cuba): Accused Kennedy of talking about the Cuban situation but not of fering any solutions. "I "will have more to say about Cuba at a later date and he (Ken nedy) had better look at the record of his own (the previ ous Democratic) administra tion before he starts' talking about Cuba . . . The number of dictators in Latin America we inherited from the Tru man administration : is far greater than we have today." Sen. John F. Kennedy (speech on GOP policy toward Cuba at Cincinnati, Ohio): The Eisenhower administr a t i o n "must accept full responsibil ity" for Cuba becoming an armed Communist camp only 90 miles from U. S. shores" "This year Mr. Nixon ad mitted that if we had formu lated a program of Latin American economic aid, 'It might have produced econom ic progress in Cuba which might have averted 'the Cas tro takeover.' But what Mr. Nixon neglects to mention is the fact that he was in Cuba five years ago himself - gain ing experience. Mr. Nixon could 'not see then what should have been obvious and what- should have been more obvious when he made his ill-fated Latin American trip in 1958, that unless the Cuban people with our help progress, trouble was on its way. : , "If this is the kind of ex perience Mr Nixon claims en titles him to be president, then I would say that the Ameri can people . cannot afford many such experiences. "The great tragedy today is that we are repeating the mistakes (of Ciiban policy) throughout Latin America. The same grievances, the same poverties and discon tent and distrust of America, which Castro rode to power are smoldering in almost ev ery Latin American nation." In their second TV "Great , Debate" SenV John F. Kennedy: "We never were on the side of freedom in Cuba. We never used our influence when we could have used it most ef fectively, and today Cuba is lost to freedom ... "If ' a summit was useful, if it would have brought us closer to peace, that rather than the lie which has, been criticized by all responsible people - afterwards, it would have been far better for us to follow the common diplo matic procedure of expressing regret for the U2 flight . . . ""The relative strength of the United States compared to that of the Soviet Union and the Chinese Communists, together, has deteriorated in the last eight years and we should know it and the Amer ican people should, be told the facts ... "I would not meet Mr. Khrushchev unless there were some agreement at the sec ondary Jevel, foreign minis ters or ambassadors, which would indicate that the meet ing would have some hope of success or a useful ex change of ideas . , . .. Should Send Message "The next president of the United States should send a message to Congress asking for a revitalization of our mil itary strength, because come spring or late in the winter of 1961 we are going to be face to face with the most serious Berlin crisis since 1949 '50 ... . "If it ever becomes neces sary and is wise economically and essential to our security I would have no hesitation in suggesting a tax increase or any other policy which would defend the United States . . . "I do not believe that the defense line, in case of a war, should be drawn on these islands of Matsu and Quemoy, but instead on the island of Formosa," Vice President Richard M. Nixon: "There isn't any ques tion but that we will defend our rights in C u b a. There isn't any question but that we will defend Guantanamo if it is attacked ; . . Won't Express Regrets "I don't intend ever to ex press regrets to Mr. Khru shchev or anybody else if I am doing something that has the support of the Congress and that is right for the pur pose of protecting the securi ty of the United States . . . "At the present time Com munist prestige in the world is at an all-time low and American prestige is at an all-time high ... I am not satisfied with what we are doing in the cold war because I believe we have to step up our activities and launch an offensive for the minds and hearts and souls of men . . . "Any summit conference would be gone into only -after the most careful preparation and only after Mr. Khrush chev . gave some assur ance that he really wanted to sit down and talk and to accomplish something and not just make porpaganda . "I think it may be neces sary that we have more taxes. I hope not. I hope we can economize elsewhere so that we don't have to. But I would have no hesitation to ask the American people to pay the taxes even in 1961 if neces sary to maintain a sound economy and also to maintain a sound dollar ... "We should not force our Nationalist allies to get off Quemoy and Matsu and give them to the Communists. Ii we do, we start a chain re action, because the Commu nists aren't after Quemoy and Matsu. They are after For mosa . -. .Kennedy's view is the same kind of woolly thinking that led to disaster for America in Korea , . ," Saigon, Viet Nam - UIPB -Soviet Ambassador to Cambo dia Alexandre S. Anikine- has been named Russia's first am-: bassador to neutralist Laos, it was announced Friday night.
