Kennedy To Be Target of Drive By Protestants New York - (DPI) - American voters faced a warning today that an all-out anti-Catholic hate campaign will be turned loose on the nation eight days before election day in an ef fort to keep Sen. John F, Kennedy from being elected president. , "In every election cursed by dirty campaigning, the worst lies , always appear , at the last minute,"- said Bruce L. Felknor, executive director of the Fair Campaign Practices Committee. While Felknor's warning was issued in a Bedford Vil lage, N. Y., Presbyterian church Sunday, the Rev. Dr. Carl J. Giers, pastor of the Tre meont Temple Baptist church in Boston, New Eng- 1 a n d's largest Protestant church, said that a Catholic president would not fulfill his oath of office if to do so would be sinful. Oath Said Not Binding Giers, preaching in Kenne dys home city, said a Cath olic textbook which he did not identify taught that promise under oath ' to do something - sinful does not bind at all." Giers added: Anything against the dic tates of the church is a sin." Another Baptist preacher, the Rev. William Ward Ayer, said from the pulpit of a New York church that "It is not bigotry to question the reli gion of any man where his religion would interfere in any way with the constitu tion." Ayer, a radio evangelist whose program was discon tinued by a metropolitan New York station, said in a sermon entitled "America - Stay Protestan or Perish" that if Protestantism died in the United States,- the Bible would be "prohibited and books would be burned. He said Protestants should "stand for the liberty Christ has giv en us" in casting their elec tion vote. Plans Said Under Way Felknor said that the cam paign to keep Kennedy, a Democrat and a Roman Cath olic, out of the White House, will be stepped up by anti Catholics on R e f ormation Sunday, Oct. 30. For months now plans have been under way on two levels to turn Reformation Sunday into a gigantic anti Kennedy rally," he said. "One level Is an interdenom inational Association of Fun damentalists Churches. The other is an amalgam of hate- mongers and bigots." Oregon Candidates Start Final Three Weeks of Campaigning With Appearances Around State County Preparing Roads for Winter The Jackson county roads department is preparing for foggy winter weather by re painting as many center line stripes as the weather per mits, according to County En gineer Robert J. Carstensen, Crews are also working on a small bridge on the Sams Valley highway by replacing the wood decking with a con crete deck.

Two miles of the Meadows rd. in Sams Valley is also being bascrocked.' The road which connects Sams Valley with Evans Valley will be paved next summer, the county en gineer said. A preliminary survey is be ing made of the Lake Creek rd. Part of that will be under construction next season, Cars tensen said. The bridge de partment is also planning to construct a concrete bridge over Evans creek next spring By United Press International Oregon's political candi dates today opened their last three weeks of campaigning before the Nov. 8 election. Mrs. Maurine Neuberger and Elmo Smith, candidates for the U.S. Senate, both ap peared in McMinnville today, but separately. Smith, the GOP candidate, spoke at Lin- field College, after touring the Sheridan-Willamina area and Mrs. Neuberger, the Dem ocratic candidate, spoke at noon to the Chamber of Com merce. Joint Appearances The two candidates have scheduled joint appearances at a Kiwanis luncheon in Eu gene Wednesday, at a candi dates' fair , that night in Grants Pass and at Medford Thursday evening at another candidates fair. Mrs. Neuberger said in Portland Sunday that "only deeds, not words, can main tain America's image in for eign lands as a country dedi cated to a free and open soci ety." She spoke at a meeting of the National Polish Alli ance. Sen. Estes : Kefauver, (D- Tenn.), the 1956 Democratic vice presidential nominee, will speak Tuesday night in Pendleton and appear in Bend and Redmond Wednesday. Appling-Sweeiland Appear Howell Appling Jr., the Re publican secretary of state, appeared on the same ' plat form Sunday night with State Sen. Monroe Sweetland, his Democratic rival, at a YMCA public forum in Port land. .' Sweetland said voters should "beware the candidate who tells them only what he thinks they would like to hear." He said "the easiest thing for a candidate to say is that he favors lower taxes. Everyone favors lower taxes. It is the honest and cour ageous candidate who will ex plain what our times demand and what we must do to sun- vive. To do less is to engage in campaign oratory designed to capture votes of the ignor ant and uninformed." Appling defended his rec ord in office and said use of an accumulated $35 million surplus would be a "giant step" toward solution of Or egon's tax problem. He en dorsed a proposal by Gov. Mark Hatfield that accumu lated savings be used to in crease the state's ! contribu tion to local school support and help reduce local proper ty taxes. He said innovations brought about under his ad ministration have made state programs more effective and more economical. Other political develop ments: . . .
