Final Weeks;
in His Favor

last week have returned to Wash

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-

ine in Moderation Reduces
Tension, Speaker Tells C of C
Tension, one of the under
lying causes of many death
dealing diseases, is reduced
significantly by wine con
sumed in moderation, accord
ing to Dr. Millon Silverman
who spoke at Monday's
Chamber of Commerce
roundtable luncheon.
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

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.

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.

& 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

deal of energy is wasted in
predicting the course of the
averages which could more
profitably be devoted lo se

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

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

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.
