GAO auditors in Washing

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.
Laos recognized the Soviet
Union last month after a coup

ernment. .
