MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1989 Nixon Lacking GOP Conservatism; JFK Not So Liberal as Some Demos By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington - The differ ences between the two presi dential rivals of economic matters is more what one senses about them and what one knows about the parties they represent than what they have said in the cam paign. Both John F. Kenneday and ""3 R i chard M. i mxon nave said they fa- Ivor balancing the budget, closing t a x loop holes, increased growth in the economy, all 1 of which is A. Bobt. smim comparable to being for flag and mother hood. Nobody's against these propositions. What one senses is that Nixon is not quite so conserv ative as President Eisenhower and the old guard Republi cans, nor is Kennedy quite so as the main body of Democrats in Con- liberal liberal gress. But Nixon is a Republican candidate with all the in stincts for wanting to first bal ance the budget and then fig ure out how to advance new social programs that cost fed eral money. Kennedy is a Democrat with the instincts of a liberal for advocating new social programs and then figuring out how to pay for them. Interest Rate Question Perhaps the chief express ed difference between the two candidates on economics is on the question of interest rates. Kennedy has been critical of the administration's policy of "tight money" and has indi cated he would invoke a pol icy to reduce the cost of bor rowing so as to step up the rate of economic growth and expansion in the country. The growth rate has been about 3 per cent in recent years. Nixon has defended the ec onomic policies of the Eisen hower administration and I clean up bins and get ready for winter expenses ask the friendly loan man $25 to $1500 CITY FINANCE COMPANY 185 E.

He has warned that an "easy money" policy would bring inflation at a faster pace than we've had in recent years when high interest rates were em ployed to curb inflation. Kennedy says he would control inflation with more flexible policies that the Re publicans have used. He has Ike Will Reside At Gettysburg Washington - OIPD - Presi dent Eisenhower says he plans to make his permanent home at his Gettysburg, Pa., farm after he leaves the White House Jan. 20. The President made the statement Sunday to the Rev. Robert A. Macaskill of t h e Gettysburg United Presbyte rian church after attending services there. The President returned to Washington later from Camp David, Md., where he spent the week end. Eisenhower has said little about what he will do-after his term of office expires. He has indicated a desire to trav el abroad and only this week the White House said he might visit Nigeria next year as a private citizen. Otherwise, it has been ex pected that he would keep the farm and spend at least some of his time there. Dynamite Found in Milk House Saturday H. D. Johnson, route 1, box 414. Eagle Point, notified sheriff's deputies Saturday morning that dynamite and cows don't go together. He reported to deputies that he had recently moved into a farm house in the Eagle Point area and discovered six or seven sticks of dynamite in the ceiling of the milk house. He asked deputies to dispose of it. said a chief cause of inflation has been the wage and price spirals in some basic indus tries. He said he would not favor direct government con trols on those wages and pric es, but he would exert the leadership of the presidential office and employ the force of informed public opinion in pursuit of reasonable price stability. The federal post of what each candidate is proposing has also been an issue. There has never been any agree ment on what either's pro gram would cost beyond the present federal budget, ex cept that both would be high er than the current Eisenhow er budget. Generally, it is agreed that the Democratic program, which includes fed eral aid for education on a broad scale, would require a larger budget than the Re publican program. More Federal Revenue Kennedy has maintained that an increase in the growth rate, say to 5 per cent, would result in more federal rev enue in taxes to offset the higher rate of spending. Nix on has contended Kennedy's program means higher taxes or deficit spending. Nixon also is for an in crease rate of growth, but he maintains this can be better accomplished by giving tax Incentives to private enter prise that will cause industri al expansion chiefly through private spending rather than federal spending. Nixon has charged that one cause of the outflow of gold to Europe from this country is fear that the dollar will be cheapened or devalued If the Democrats get In. Kennedy has pledged himself not to de value the dollar, and he sayi the gold flow is caused by an unfavorable balance of pay ments this nation is suffer ing. He would check it by ask ing our allies to pay more for national security so Ameri can aid can be reduced. Defense spending under el ther candidate would likely rise above the current figure of $41 billion annually. Ken nedy has been highly critical of the budget conscious de fense policies of the Eisen hower administration, and even Nixon has said "there must be no dollar sign on de fending America" and that "total spending will irresisti bly rise." Nixon has Indicated he would maintain present armed forces at about their current level but increase the strik ing power through more ad vanced equipment. He strong ly opposes any merger of the four branches of the serv ice. Kennedy favors extensive reorganization of the "cum bersome, antique and creak ing machinery of the Depart ment of Defense." He says he would not favor immediate merger of the four services) that this might come in the coming decade. He believes "billions can be saved" by reorganization of the mas sive defense establishment. Two Girls Killed In Woodburn Blaze Woodburn, Ore. - flJI'U - Two young girls were killed in a fire at Woodburn, Saturday. The victims were identified as Cathleen Krupicka, 8. and Renec Lawrence, 11, both of Woodburn. Fire officials said the two were trapped in a play area above a restaurant and suffo cated. Their badly-burned bo dies were recovered about a half hour after the fire start ed. The fire occurred at the Filbert Grove restaurant on the Pacific highway. IS THERE A RELIGIOUS I IN THIS ELECTION? There should be only one religious issue in the United States today, and that is the issue of brotherly love. It is the fundamental concept of all the great religions of the American people-the Protestants, the Jews, the Cath olics, the Mormons and others. It is indeed unfor.tunate that at a time in history when all religious people throughout the world are faced with the common enemy of Communism, that we should be divided here in the United States, arguing about the qual ifications of the next president of the United States on religious grounds. These times are much too perilous for the American people to choose their next president on any other basis than who is the best qualified for the job. We appeal to our fellow citizens to analyze the issues of this campaign in the light of national security. Vote for the candidate whose program is most likely to make us strong by invigorating the American economy; for un less we are able soon to stem the tide that is turning against us in the world, we may well lose all of our per sonal freedoms to the Communists. The record shows that it is on these important matters that Senator Kennedy has displayed a far greater under standing of our national problems and has presented a more progressive program for action than Mr. Nixon. We urge you to think rwice-you only have one vote on November 8th. Make it important. VOTE FOR SEN ATOR KENNEDY. Easton Committee of Business and Professional Men for Kennedy-Johnson Pd. Pnl. Adv.
