States-Japan Security Treaty,
He took part in a number of
wild demonstrations in front
of the Parliament Building
against the treaty that helped
force cancellation of Presi

Japan in June.
Asanuma's death was the
first political assassination in
more than three decades in
Japan, where government by

practice under prewar mili
tarists. It- was the third political
stabbing in Japan this year.
Former Premier Nobu luke
Kishl was stabbed in the thigh
while attending a political
party reception last July.
Jotaro Kawakami, another
Socialist Party leader, also
was stabbed by a student dur
ing the anti-American demon
strations in June. Kishl and
Kawakami recovered.

hat as he delivers a pep talk to Texas cam

Baptist Preachers Denounce
Truman; Hornet Nest Stirred
Waco, Tex.-(UPD-A group of
Baptist preachers today de
nounced former President
Truman a Baptist campaign
ing for a Roman Catholic
for coming into the heart of
the Texas Bible belt and try
ing to tell them how to vote.
Truman told a crowd of
4,000 Tuesday night that re
ligion was the "false issue"
of the presidential race and
that the Constitution guaran
tees that no candidate shall
ever undergo a religious test.
Whatever the jaunty ex-
president hoped to accomplish
on his two-day swing through
Teaxs he has stirred up a
hornet's nest on two fronts.
Besides the condemnation
by the Baptist clergy, the Re
publican National committee
Tuesday denounced him for
his "go to hell" speech at San
Antonio the night before. Tru
man took the attitude he
couldn't care less what the
GOP thinks of his campaign
tactics.
Morton Protests Remarks
Republican National Chair
man Thruston B. Morton pro
tested in a telegram to Sen.
John F. Kennedy and asked
him to disown Truman's re
mark to a group of Texas
Democrats that "If you vote
for' Nixon, you ought to go
to hell."
He called Truman Ken
nedy's "hatchet man" and said
Truman also violated the code
of fair campaign practice by

his "flat statement that the
vice president of the United
States is a liar."
When asked if he wanted to
change or modify his charge
that "Nixon never told the
truth in his life," Truman
said:
"No, I won't. You tell me
when he ever told the truth.1
Ministers Pais Resolution
Truman told his Waco au
dience that Nixon is "paying
up service to religious toler
ance, but he is quite willing
to accept any vote that mav
come nis way ny reason of re
ligious Intolerance."
He said the Nixon cam
paign was one of "dropping
a little smear here and a false
inference and a half truth
some other place. One of the
saddest things about this
whole sorry business Is that
some of the activitv is car
ried on through our Protest
ant churches with political
money contributed for this
purpose to avoid paying in
come tax."
While Truman was speak
ing, a meeting of 72 Baptist
ministers passed a resolution
charging that Truman "is pre
suming too much if he pre
sumes that it is his preroga
tive or that of any one else
to tell Baptists what they
should do in this election or in
any other realm of consci
ence.
The Rev. Harold E. Lind-
sey, pastor of the First Bap
tist Church in Waco, said the
ministers came from through
out central Texas.
Smith Wants Snake To Remain Fish Sanctuary
Pending Passage Solution; Opposes Nez Perce
By United Press International
Mrs. Maurine Neuberger
and Elmo Smith, rivals for
the U.S. Senate, appealed be
fore the League of Women

their campaign headed into
the final four weeks before
election.
The two candidates have

Satellites at
Cost Offered
Private Firms
Portland fUPD ' The govern
ment today offered to furnish
satellites at cost to private
companies wltn promising
plans for esiaDiisning com
mercial communications sta
tions in space.
The offer was announced
by Dr. T. Keith Glennan, di
rector of the National Aero
nautics and Space Administra
tion, in a talk to the Science,
Engineering, and New Tech
nologies Committee of the
Oregon Department of Plan
ning and Development.
Glennen also reported that
NASA is planning "an early
demonstration" of the fasibili
ty of very light active-repeater
communications satellites
in orbit 3,000 to 5,600 miles
above the earth. Active -re
peaters are satellites with
equipment to receive, store,
and relay messages.
Meanwhile, he said, NASA
will work with private com
panies planning commercial
communications projects in
SDace.
"This means," he said, "that
NASA will, to the extent of
its statutory authority, make
vehicles, launching and track
ing facilities, and technical
services available at cost to
Drivate companies."
He said this would be done
"Drovided the private plans
for the development and com
mercial utilization of commu
nication satellites are tech
nically promising and in gen
eral consonance with the re
quirements of other licensing
bodies.
No Reason To Change
Glenn said he saw no rea
son to change past policy of
permitting private, competing
companies to finance and op
erate communications systems
under federal controls.
It is clear, however, that
such activities involving the
launching of vehicles into
outer space must be regulated
in the public interest, even
during the stages of develop
ment testing," he -said.

are vieing for Mountain
Sheep and Nez Perce dams.
He said Mrs. Neuberger
"draws support from the peo
ple who favor building of the
Nez Perce dam and I can
only assume that she also ap
proves construction of the
project."
In Favor of Bill
He said he was in favor of
a bill which would provide
the Snake river remain a fish
sanctuary pending a solution
to the problem of fish pass
age, and that he opposed the
Nez Perce Dam.
Mrs. Neuberger today
recommended a four - point'
program "to bolster Amer
ica's prestige in the world and
block Communist influence
in under-developed nations."
Her points included co
operation with prosperous
Western democracies in a
program of long-term devel
opment loans; establishments
of a Point-Four Youth Corps
to train young Americans in
basic technical skills neces
sary to combat poverty, di
sease, illiteracy and hunger
in less favored countries;
channeling of surplus crops
into a food-for-peace program
in cooperation with the Uni
ted Nations, and leadership in
an International Medical
Year.
"None of these programs
would be a burden on the
U.S. economy," Mrs. Neuberg
er said.
Smith said at Pacific Uni
versity Tuesday that federal
aid to education would "only
add to the heavy load already
carried by Oregon's overbur
dened taxpayers." He said
"besides increasing taxes,
Oregon would get back less
than it pays in under any
formula so far proposed." He
said he did favor federal aid
to education in certain fields,
such as research in education,
medicine and science and
other fields, and for scholar
ships to individuals whose
talents obviously would be of
unusual value to the nation.
