Washington - (UPD - Demo
cratic political leaders think
they smell victory for Sen.
John F. Kennedy and lome of
them e':en talk "landslide."
But the Democratic presi
dential candidate and his top
aides still say it's a "close"
fight against Vice President
Richard M. Nixon, even
though they think they are
moving steadily ahead.
If Kennedy needed encour
agement to assume ne was out
in front, he got it last week.
Among the developments fall
ing his way were:
Record crowds in Demo
cratic strongholds like New
York City and surprising
turnouts in many heavily Re
publican c o m m u nities of
doubtful states like Illinois
and Pennsylvania.
- A series of endorsements.

'Hate' Literature Is Topic Of Human Rights Council
Ashland - Ashland Human
Right council launched the
fall season of general meet
ings with a panel discussion
on "hate" literature last week
irj Wesley house on Southern
Oregon college campus.
Following a welcome by the
president, Mrs. Virginia West
erfield, .three speakers dis
cussed the subject from the
literary, psychological and
ethical standpoints.' Duplicate
copies of a couple of actual
tracts were distributed for
study. , '
Walter Arron, asociate .pro
fessor of English at SOC, be
gan the literary analysis. He
said that the propagandist Is
probing for the switch which
may be Inherent mechanism
within each one of us sand
which can incite us to react
in the very way he wants us
to. Such a writer uses colored
words as tools of his trade.
These words carry built-in
connotations, good or bad,
which help carry out a rhet
oric of distortion. He added
that the propagandist employs
assumed - premises and the
highly motivating use of
words in place of facts.
Francis Kelly, associate
professor of psychology at
SOC, listed the points that a
good propagandist adheres to.
The latter must study the tar
get group that he is trying
to reach and then he must use
words that appeal to their
basic needs, beliefs or weak
n e a s e s. "fne propagandist
makes effective use of stim
ulus words such as "our way
of life" and "those foreign
ers." He also makes frequent
use of repetitious statements
on the theory that anything
repeated often enough will be
believed. .
Dr. Kelly admonished that
the most effective way to
meet propaganda is with
counter propaganda and con
cluded that since it is geared
to appeal to the dissident and
the failures, if the needs of
most of the people are met
most of the time, bad propa
ganda will not be so effective.
The Rev. Ed Wulfekuehler
of the Ashland Congregation
al church discussed the ethi
cal aspect and announced that
the program for the next
meeting would pursue the sub'
ject into the legal angle.
Following a discussion pe
riod, refreshments were serv
ed for the social hour.
Guests attending from Med'
ford Human Rights council
were the Rev. Thomas Mc-
Camant, chairman; Dr.
George G. Roseberry, the
Rev. Bob Dowrey, Charles P,
Champlin and Henry DeVoss
Among the newspapers was
the New York Times, which
has not backed a Democrat
for president since it support
ed FDR in 1944.
- A shift in Pennsylvania's
registration, which late this
week showed the Democrats
leading the Republicans for
the first time in modern po
litical history.
Nevertheless, there are two
things still bothering the Ken

be the great uncertainty of
how the religious issue will
affect the people's decision.
and how Kennedy can cram
the maximum "exposure into
the windup campaign.
As a result, Kennedy has
concentrated his main effort
in Pennsylvania. New York,
Ohio, Illinois and Michigan.
These five have more than
half the 269 electoral votes
needed for victory.
Staggering Schedule
Kennedy is going from ear
ly morning to early morning
in days of staggering sched
ules, numbing exhaustion and
whiplash pace. .
His campaign managers
have a cenirnl objective; "Ex
posure." It shows up in the
nomenclature of the motor
cade "briefing" sheets. Ken
nedy advance men note cer
tain stops as providing "max
imum exposure or ' medi
um exposure.'' But when the
sentor, like Nixon, sees a spe
cial kind of small crowd,
where no stop was intended,
he stops anyway.
There-seems to be no dis
pute among reporters travel
ing with Kennedy that he is
striking sparks with the
crowds. Whatever the 43-year-old
candidate's appeal, it
produces a volatile reaction
which goes beyond that of the
teen-age girl "jumpers and
squealers" who press forward
at every rally.
the campaign thus far.
fThe final week before elec
tion must, in his opinion, be
still more active and more ef
fective if he is to win. This
view is reflected in his 18,-
000-mile final campaign swing
starting today.
The GOP candidate last
week acquired a cold, a few
tossed eggs and tomatoes and

By MERRIMAN SMITH
Washington - (UPD - Vice
President Richard M. Nixon
is convinced that he is even
or ahead of Sen. John F. Ken
nedy in seven important states
with the largest electoral
vote.
But Nixon's mood as he ap
proached the final week of
the presidential campaign was
that of a determined crafts
man with a vast amount of'
work to be done in a short
space of time.
He thought that last week,
devoted largely to railroad
whistle-stopping in Pennsyl
vania, Ohio, Michigan and II'
linois, was the best week of
of Republican state leaders
happy.
Nixon is known to feel that
since his fourth debate with
Kennedy on Oct. 21, there has
been a highly perceptible
surge in his nationwide po
litical strength. But he feels
the ingredients of final vic
tory must be put together in
the time remaining beforefj'
election day.
After a period of some rath
er pronounced concern in top
GOP circles about California,

Labor Editor
Tells Policy on
Political Ads
Portland - (UPD - The editor
of the Oregon Labor Press
says it's been a long-establish
ed policy not to accept politi
cal advertising from candi
dates whom the newspaper
opposes.
The editor, Jim Goodsell,
was commenting on a com
plaint in Baker by Secretary
of State Howell Appling that
he was unable to buy space In
the labor paper, and thus was
denied the opportunity of pre
senting his views to union
members.
Many Good Reasons
Said Goodsell:, "The board
of directors about 15 years
ago established the policy of
accepting ads only from can
didates we endorse, or from
both sides in a contest where
we have not endorsed either.
"There are majy good rea
sons for this," Goodsell added.
'but in every election cam
paign some candidate tries to
get some political mileage out
of it."
Goodsell Mid the policy
was adopted after the paper
endorsed a candidate - with
little or no money for cam-
Economists See
Mild Recession
New York - (UPD - A sirable
majority ofhe nation's lead
ing economists foresee a mild
recession between now and
the end of 1961, a survey
showed today.
At least two-thirds of 327
economists canvassed said
they expect a downturn in
business activity In th next
six to nine months with a
majority of these seeing a re
bound late in 1961.
The other economists poll

gards his home state as a
bright spot. Among the larg
er states, he thinks he is in
the best shape in California
and Texas.
Up for Grabs
As for the other key states
of New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Illinois and Michigan,
Nixon regards the election as
up for grabs or, in other
words, 50-50 for either man.
The vice president feels his
strength in Texas and Cali-
fornia began rising about
three weeks ago and has com
tinued. Two weeks ago, he
did not regard his prospects
in Michigan as particularly
cheery, but he feel much bet
ter about them now. , .
Of the seven larger states,
the vice president's home
stretch analysis is that Ken
nedy has to win more of them
than he does to assure nation
al victory. Nixon believes
that outside of these seven
states he is in better shape
than Kennedy except in New
England and other sections
of the East.
