"The ques tion technique used nationally in the great debates is widely recognized as being more in formative and more revealing than debate with prepared statements," he said. Mrs. Neuberger told a Southern Oregon College au dience in Ashland today that "America's great quest in the 1960s must be to provide world leadership toward a bright future, not the trigger ing of nuclear holocaust." She said if underdeveloped areas "are to resist the false prom ises of Communist agitators, we must make it clear that economic aid and technical assistance is offered not only because we are opposed to the threat of Communism but be cause we are genuinely con cerned about them as fellow human beings." In other political news: . . . Rep. Porter said Wil liam H. Coburn, former chief counsel of the Senate Com mittee on Legislative Over sight, had written that Porter was "on sound legal ground in your efforts to persuade the Justice Department to take action" on Al Sarena mining claims. Porter was told by the Justice Depart iment earlier their was ". . . no basis upon which an action to set aside the patents could be success ful." . . . Wallace L. Lee, Repub lican opposing Rep. Edith Green (D-Ore.) said Ameri cans work from Jan. 1 to May 16 each year to pay the cost of government. Estes Backs Sweeiland . ... Kcfauver issued a state ment criticizing what he term ed "smear" tactics against State Sen. Monroe Sweetland, Democratic nominee for sec rotary of state. Sweetland was criticized by State GOP Chair man Peter Gunnar for a news release which Gunnar said attacked the American eco nomic system. Sweetland said Gunnar "distorted" it. ... Howell Appling, GOP candidate to succeed himself as secretary of state, told a breakfast meeting in Medford the welfare recovery program under which Oregon has re covered more than $560,000 in the last three years was an example of the type of laws he favors to protect t "tax payer's hard earned money He said Sweetland "has clear ly demonstrated by the fact that he twice fought against this law that he is even op posed to protecting the peo ple s money from cheats and chiselers." . . . Mrs. Neuberger pre dicted a Democratic margin of "about 70,000" when voter registration figures in Oregon are compiled. Poll Shows N. Y. Closely Divided New York CUPIi The New York Daily News reported to- day that the first returns of its secret straw poll indicated that New York State was closely divided between Sen. John F. Kennedy and Vice President Richard M. Nixon. The News said that on the basis of 2,821 ballots tabu lated, 51.1 per cent of the vote was for Kennedy and 48.9 for Nixon. The News added. White House Said Keeping Texts From Public Washington (UPD Chairman J. William Fulbright, ID- Ark.), of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee today accused the White House of suppressing foreign policy documents which might nurt the election chances of Vice President Richard M. Nixon. Fulbright charged that the ! administration was deliberate-; ly withholding from the pub lic two major groups of docu ments: The text of Nixon's conversations with Soviet Pre mier Nikita Khrushchev in Russia last year and evalua tion reports by the U.S. In formation Agency on Ameri can prestige abroad. Asked by a newsman if he believed the White House had ordered suppression of the records "for partisan political purposes," Fulbright replied: "That is my conclusion." Cites Earlier Testimony In regard to USIA reports on American prestige abroad, Fulbright said the only con clusion he could draw was that this country's standing overseas was "worse" than be fore or at the same level de scribed by administration spokesmen in congressional hearings earlier this year. Fulbright accused the ad ministration of violating bi partisanship in foreign policy. He warned at a news confer ence that if Nixon won the election, Democrats in Con gress would not forget the "deception." Fulbright's charge came as a member of a hush-hush presidential committee con firmed that an effort was underway to measure U.S. prestige abroad. One report on the study said it showed a loss of standing. Made Telephone Call Fulbright said he had call ed USIA Director George Al len Wednesday night to seek the release of reports on American prestige abroad. But he said Allen claimed that the material was "privi leged matter" and would not be made public. Fulbright said Allen admitted there had been "full liaison" with the White House on the refusal to re lease the records. Fulbright said that Nixon and other top members of the Republican administration are "fully aware" of what the prestige reports contain. But he said he doubted whether Sen. John F. Kennedy, the Democratic presidential nomi nee, could get access to the same information "at least not until after Nov. 8." At that point, another re porter asked Fulbright if he thought the withholding of the documents was a deliberate attempt "to deceive the Ameri can people." "That is my impression," Fulbright replied. Kefauver Raps 'Creeping Isolationism' Corvallis - (DPI) - Sen. Kstes Kefauver (D-Tenn.) charged Wednesday night that "Re publican creeping isolation ism" was to blame for what he termed America's loss of prestige throughout the world. Speaking to some 100 Demo crats who waited for two hours when he was delayed by fog on a trip from Bend, Ke fauver said U.S. prestige in the world "has sunk to a new low." , .. "Since President Dwight Eisenhower took office," the one-time vice presidential can didate said, "The dreams and hopes and expectations that were the 'beacon of America' have 'faded." He said Cuba has become an ally of the Communists and added that the U.S. has consistently sup ported enemies of democracy in Latin America. He said in Spain the U.S. has allied itself with the only major non-Communist dicta tor of the world and charged that the U.S. has adopted a "Madison Avenue Approach to foreign policy." "If we value our necks," he said, "we had better worry about whether we are respect ed, admired, loved or-hated in other countries."- Touching on domestic is sues. Kefauver asserted, "The I GOP bleats that the country cannot afford federal aid to - education, adequate social sp curity payments, effective un- employment insurance or a ; decent minimum wage." I He said Republican philoso- ! phy is "concern with money, ', not with the mind, with dol- : lars not with dreams, with deficits not with defense, and with the good of the few not -the welfare of the many." When Napoleon became Em peror of France he relented enough to hold a prebisclte. The "popular'' vote was 3, 752,329 in favor and 2,589 opposed. however, that the ballots counted so far represented only 10 per cent of the 30,000 planned to be counted before election day, and the results so far were too fragmentary to be definitive.
