OCTOBER 18. 19SQ Bedford mail tribune, medford. ore. jixon Feels Victory Hinges on Kennedy Believes Tide Turning Final Weeks; in His Favor tdlwr'i note: Two United Press imrnuiiiuiidi correspondents wiiu covered the presidential candidates last week have returned to Wash ington. Here are their imiri4tmie , at the end of the lixth wcru of uir campaign. By MERRIMAN SMITH Washington - UPI - V i c e President Richard M. Nixon is i convinced that ultimate victory in the presidential race will be forged in the last three weeks of the campaign. The Republican nominee at thu point feels his chances of befling Sen. John F. Kennedy ar( about 50-50. While he freely predicts victory at par ly rallies, Nixon privately seens to feel that neither can didite now can safely claim such key slates as New York, California, Pennsylvania, Il linois, Michigan and Ohio. Nixon's conviction that the fina; three weeks will tell the jstory is based on his ex perience. This was the pat tern of timing when he ran forlthe House and Senate in California, and he believes thejsame thing holds true in thenational election. Heals Advisers Nixon's advisers jolted him out of this timing lo some ex ten when the Quemoy-Matsu issui i'u-st arose with Kenne dy jh their second TV debate hery on Oct. 7. fie vice president wanted to iving hard at Kennedy on this one, but his first inclina tion was to wait until later. Hisf advisers argued that is sue! are highly perishable and he vould lose any advantage he had by not pressing the attik immediately. Tie coming week should see Nixm opening up on other IssiEs. Under his timetable, he pas reached the point for puling out all the stops, fir ingaU the barrels. lixon is stepping up his at tacks on Kennedy, but thus faijhis strongest direct blows hate been in the field of for eigi policy. The final weeks of Jtlie campaign should see grater Nixon emphasis on dohestic matters. he vice president feels helms gotten the best of Ken nedy on the Quemoy-Matsu argument so far. And he is not expected to ease up appre ciably on this issue. Praises Ike Aside from Quemoy-Matsu, another striking thing about Nixon's campaign in the past week has been his increasing praise of President Eisen hower. Nixon, after starting out with relatively restrain ed references to the Chief Executive, has become posi tively rhapsodic on the point. One of his strongest applause-getters in most crowds is his line stoutly defending Eisenhower from Kennedy criticism for not having at tracted as much world inter est recently as Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev and Cuban boss Fidel Castro. How is Nixon doing overall? His crowds are getting larger. He had a spectacular night crowd Saturday in Spring field, 111., more than 20,000. Some Republicans claimed 40,000, but GOP leaders in the area spoiled the effect somewhat by forecasting 100, 000 the day before his arrival. Speech crowds of this size are not developing for either candidate. A Nixon campaign prog nosis for his week: Tougher and tougher. By WILLIAM THEIS Washington - IUPH -Sen. John F. Kennedy thinks the campaign tide is turning in his favor. The Democratic presidential nominee is start ing the seventh week of his caipaign with new confidence. He feels that Vice President Richard M. Nixon failed to score in their first three tele vision debates and this has damaged both Nixon's argu ment of "experience" and his reputation as a skilled de bater. Kennedy is more hopeful than ever that he will carry New York, Ohio, Pennsylvan ia and Michigan, where he campaigned last week. He be lieves his whistle -stop trip through Michigan improved Democratic chances in that state. The Democratic candidate now is hitting Nixon hard and often in his speeches. During his sixth week, Kennedy em- irvallis Couple Irjured in Crash Porlland-(UPl)-Mr. and Mrs. Hmry R. Kaiser, Corvallis, sitfered serious injuries Mon dv afternoon in a two-car collision.

Dr. Silverton, director of medical research for the wine advisory board (an agency of the California Department of agriculture), included Med ford in a flying speaking tour of Oregon and Washington during National Wine Week, Oct. 15 to 22. "During the last 10 years or so, ur. Silverman sam, "it has become increasingly obvious that diseases such as heart disease, apoplexy, hypertension, arteriosclerosis, accidents, suicide and alcohol- which kill two out of every three Americans have in common a background of severe frustration or emotion al tension; a tension which has built up year after year, and which is either a major factor in causing the disease or in making it more acute." Physiology Research Fortunately, physiological research has disclosed that wine has a relaxing, tension relieving effect without inter fering with efficiency, he said. And as a result, it is "a mild but . effective tranquili zer which can be used safely by most people year after year after year." He cited recent research at Yale university's laboratory of applied physiology sup porting this conclusion. Subjects were given impos sible problems to solve after being asked to drink various quaitities of plain water, plain alcohol, wine and other alcoholic beverages. The problem-solving efforts raised their emotional tension index. "It was first found," Dr. Silverman said, "that a man's Increase in Use Of Airport Noted The total number of air planes landing at or taking off from Medford's municipal airport during September was up from the same month dur ing 1959, but the number of passengers handled last month declined by nearly 2,000 from the September, 1959, total. According to Airport Man ager Gil Gutjahr's monthly report, flights recorded at the airDort last month totaled 5,577, which includes 839 com mercial airplane flights and 2,955 civil flights. This is com pared to the 5,281 flights re corded at the airport during September, 1959, and the 5,517 flights recorded during August of this year. Passenger traffic last month totaled 5,364 compared to 7,305 during September a year ago and 6,288 last Au gust. . Air freight and express were also down from last year Air freight last month totaled 19.233 pounds, compared to 19,330 of a year ago. Air ex Dress totaled 2,330 pounds, compared to September, 1959's 4,494-pound total. The airport took in revenue last month amounting to $4,460, which includes $1,230 in landing fees and $125 re ceived when the city sold an old beacon to the city of Ful lerton, Calif. emotional tension Index could be reduced by remark ably small quantities of alco hol." A slight but distinct drop in the index could be produced, he said, by a small amount of California bur gundy roughly the equiva lent of 1M wineglasses or by about the same quantity of plain diluted alcohol. Tension Relieved He said that when larger quantities of wine were ad ministered, tension was re lieved still further and more effectively, without cousing one to become intoxicated. The work of these Yale re searchers, reported in the University's Quarterly Jour nal of Studies on Alcohol, Dr. Silverman noted, may well explain "why wine has been used, and used in moderation, as far back as the beginning of written history.' Dr. Silverman also noted research progress in the in vestigation of the composition and clinical effects of wine and the prevention of alco holism resulting from more than 20 years of grants-in-aid to medical researchers by the California Wine Advisory Board.

Ft-UPRIGHT ployed a stinging brand of ri dicule that both steelworkers and students applauded. Charges Indifference Like Nixon, Kennedy tail ored his speeches to suit his widely varying audiences. But mainly he hammered the idea that Nixon and the Ei senhower administration had been "indifferent" to unem ployment and the other econ omic problems. . Earlier, he tried on the man tle of the late Franklin D. Roosevelt at the "Little White House" in Warm Springs, Ga., where FDR worked and final ly died in 1945. There and in Columbia, S.C., he boldly spoke up for civil rights for Negroes - and drew applause. At week's end, Kennedy claimed that Nixon had "re treated" from his stand that the off-shore China islands of Quemoy and Matsu must be defended "on principle" against Red aggression. Kennedy's claim was based on a White House announce ment that both Nixon and President Eisenhower are in agreement that Quemoy should be defended only as part of an overall defense of an attack on Formosa and the Pescadores. Appeal to Emotions After their second TV de bate, Kennedy felt Nixon benefitted by using the "emo tional" side of the Quemoy Matsu issue - namely, that this country should never sur render one inch of free soil to aggressive Communism as a matter of principle. In the third debate, Kenne dy injected some emotionRl argument into his stand by saying that no American boy should be sent lo defend "two little rocks" which he said top military leaders consider ed "indefensible." The net of all this appear ed to be that Kennedy, who suffered some from his tech nique of short, heavily intel lectual speeches, was broad ening his attack with better effect. Kennedy drew wildly i thusiastic crowds in the steel and coal industrial areas of Ohio and Pennsylvania and had good audiences in tradi tionally Republican areas of Michigan and the other states. The senator was understood to be heartened by all this and to feel that he is increas ingly forcing Nixon to run on the GOP record. Wall Street atfer New York-IUPII-Hornblower & Weeks says that a reversal of the downward business trend probably is not' "just around the corner as opti mists hope, but it could be nearer than the pessimists believe. The firm reminds us that while the downward adjust ment may have further to go towards correcting the specu lative excesses of the past, it has in fact been in progress for more than a year with many stocks having given up much of their earlier ad vances. The fact that substantial setbacks have taken place in the more vulnerable groups without undermining confi dence in others-such as oils and aircrafts-is reassuring, H&W says. Standard & Poor's looks for the number of extra dividends declared in the closing months of the year to fall below those in the final quarter of 1959, in conformance with the un favorable trend of recent months. Anthony W. Tabell of Wal slon & Co. says that a good deal of energy is wasted in predicting the course of the averages which could more profitably be devoted lo se lecting attractive stock committments. 256 Enrolled in Honors College At University- Eugene The University of Oregon's new Honors college opened this fall with an en rollment of 256 students, 129 of whom are freshmen. The Honors college, which provides a four-year under graduate program planned to give the best possible liberal education to superior stu dents, has drawn its enroll ment from throughout the state as well as from many ther states. Its students are; from almost all fields of the! liberal arts as well at from most of tlie professional i schools.. Commenting on the quality of the Honors college enroll ment, Dean Robert D. Clark of the college of liberal arts said, "I am impressed not simply by the high test scores but by the intellectual curio sity of these students. Their interests and abilities range from science to the arts, and encompass both." First Full Class The 129 freshmen, repre senting tile first full four-year class and the start of the pro gram which will carry them to a bachelor's degree, in clude B0 men and B9 women from nine states and Canada. Oregon is represented by 103 freshmen from 50 cities. J. Spencer Carlson, direc tor of the testing and coun seling center, remarked that, in terms of the testing, the freshman enrollees in the Honors college are "compar able in general background and ability to students en tering the belter selective schools of the nation." All of the freshmen will be degree candidates in the Hon ors college.

William L. Wallace, 56, Williamette City, was killed in a one-car accident nine miles south of Oakridge on a Lane county road. State police said Wallace's car left the roadway and went over a 23.0 foot embankment. SPECIALIST DIES New York-OIPli - Edwin G.

Funeral Questions We Are Often Asked 1 A PRESENTED FOR YOUR ENLIGHTENMENT BY MEMORY GARDENS FUNFRL. HOME "The Chapel of Memories" 1395 Arnold Lane SP 3-7338 What is a "Memorial Park" Cemetery? There are many cemeteries which are called "Memo rial Park," or "Memorial Girdcns" cemeteries! Of these, several different tyrss can be distinguished. There Is, howeverone type which can, in our opinion, be called a truly memorial park. This type of cemetery can be identified by several features which make it outstanding,1 and easily recog nizable. First, it allows only the surface-type memorial to be installed on its grave spaces. Secondly, It is based on the universal Garden concept, with several individually distinct garden areas in evi dence. Each of these gardens will be marked by a single outstanding memorial, or memorial area, and each of these memorials will be related to the others in a particular themo, mainly on a non-sectarian reli gious nature. Thirdly, the future planning of the truly memorial park will have been made obvious to all who see, from what has alroady been accomplished. Fourthly, and all important, it will be an endowment care cemetery. This type of cemetery has been created so that its beautiy will remain pleasing to the eye, not just for tomorrow, but for thousands of tomorrows. $24995 $29995 CONVENIENT TERMS TO SUIT YOUI Quality Is Always The Best Bargain JOHNSTON STORES 112 South Riverside Membership in Churches Sets All-Time Record New Y o r k 0IPD Church membership in the United States was reported at an all time high Monday.
