Robert Kennedy, Barnett Blame Each Other for Bitter Oxford Riots Brovn and Eixon Clash Head-On In Debate Before UPS Editors San Francisco - (WD - Gov. , Edmund G. Brown and chal lenger Richard M. Nixon rode into the final weeks of the election campaign today on a wave of bitter charges and counter-charges. Their reasonably polite race for governor of California changed overnight into a slug ging match. The Democratic incumbent and his Republican opponent clashed head to head Monday, in their only joint appearance of the campaign, before the 1962 Conference -of United Press International Editors and Publishers. From that often-heated ex change came two issues that undoubtedly will draw sparks from both men in the closing five weeks of their battle for governor. ; -The question of whether t was "morally or ethically proper" for Nix6n, then the vice president, to permit the Hughes Tool Co. to lend $205, 000 to Nixon's brother, Don ald. -A fiery difference of opin ion as to whether.

Haisei luua The issue of the Hughes loan was injected into the UPI discussion by Thomas W. Bra den, publisher of the Ocean side, Calif. Balde-Tribune and Brown appointee to the state board of education. "I want to ask you it you think it is proper for a can didate for governor, morally or ethically, to have permitted his family to receive a secret loan?" Moderator O. Preston Rob inson, general manager and editor of the Dcseret News and Telegram, Salt Lake City, ruled Nixon did not have to answer the question. "I insist on answering it," said the former vice president. He then related that six years ago his brother was In "deep financial trouble" and that Donald Nixon borrowed $205,000 from the Hughes Tool Co., controlled by multi millionaire Howard Hughes. The candidate said his mother put up some of her property as security and that his broth er finally went bankrupt. The property went to the tool com pany. "I had no part in the nego tiation of the loan," Nixon said. "I was never asked to do anything by the Hughes Tool Co. and 1 never did any thing for them." Blames Governor Noting that President Ken nedy did not raise the Hughes loan as an issue in the 1(I0 presidential campaign, Nixon then accused Brown "and his hatchctmen" of "slyly" plant ing the Idea that Nixon had done something wrong in con nection with the transaction. Turning to Brown, standing barely 10 feet away, Nixon said: "I have made mistakes, but I am an honest man. Now is the time to have this out. If the governor has any evidence that I did anything for the Hughes company, now he has his chance. Governor Brown has a chance to stand up as a man and charge me with misconduct. Do it, sir!" Brown replied: "I have said nothing about It to anyone whatsoever, other than to ask some people as to why your campaign manager, when the note first was dis cloiec, seated that the note was made by someone else, and I wanted to know the facts in connection with the situation." Brown conceded he had read about the story in a mag azine and then added: "But until this moment I never said anything about it other than in casual conversa- Regional Edition Medford Page 2A Tribune MEDKORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1962 Foreign Briefs OPERATION 'SOUTHERN EXPRESS' DUE IN GREECE Naplei, Italy-itl'luGan.

JBS Dispute Nixon, who has been highly critical of Robert Welch, founder of the John Birch So ciety, was asked if he was "proud" of California Repub lican Congressmen John II Rousselot and Edgar W. Hies- tand, both JBS members who are running for reelection. Nixon said he would not en dorse any candidates for fed eral office, in keeping with California election year tradi tion. But then he unexpected ly turned to Brown and said: "Are you supporting two candidates - Assembly man John A. O'Connell and As semblymen Philip Burton who helped to lead the riots against the Committee on Un-American Activities when it met in San Francisco?" Brown countered by saying both men were "excellent' state legislators. He said he did not always agree with their positions but that he sup ported them "unequivocally. Burton, a candidate for re election, and O'Connell, run ning for Congress in San Fran Cisco, accused Nixon of "de liberate slander" and "char acter assassination." The two Democrats said they had criticized the com mittee in speeches to a student rally the day before the riots occurred. Both denied they were present during the wild demonstrations at the city hall. Subscribers To report Improper or non delivery uf the Mail Tribuna t.

Gov. Ross Barnett told the nation Monday night that the federal government had de liberately inflamed Mississip pians to justify the use of troops to enroll Negro James Meredith at the University of Mississippi. Atty. Gen. Robert F. Ken nedy initimated that Barnett himself must ultimately bear the responsibility for the campus riot. Blames Marshals Barnett said the U. S. mar shals who put Meredith on the campus were "trigger happy" and fired tear gas shells into the backs of state policemen and innocent stu dents. The attorney general, how ever, said the marshals were brave men who calmly faced . bricks, bottles, fire bombs and I snipers in the dark after the stale police deserted them. Kennedy, in so many words, charged that Barnett double crossed the federal govern ment. But Barnett said hej went so far as to advise Ken-1 nedy that if he was going to j bring Meredith onto the cam- j pus, he had better do it Sun day instead of Monday. j For on Monday, Barnett said, there would have been "20,000 persons in Oxford" j with all sorts of "dangerous weapons" and "hundreds of persons" would have been killed. Claims Other Promises Kennedy said Barnett went even further - he said the governor promised not to stop Meredith's delivery to the campus, and to help keep law and order. No one stopped Meredith's entry, but when the crowd got ugly the state police were "withdrawn," he said. The attorney general did not say who withdrew them, but he charged that when the marshals were fighting for their lives on th campus 150 highway patrolmen were sil ting in about 80 cars a quarter of a mile away. Russia Believed Shifting To 'Nuclear Obliteration1 Strategy London - d'PIt - British ex perts said today Russia may be concentrating on super bombs ir( a shift to a strategy of "nuclear obliteration." Recent Soviet tests have in volved multi-megaton devices ranging from 10 to 30 mega tons, or more. A megaton is equal to a million tonsof TNT. Russia climaxed its previous series last fall by testing a 50 - plus megaton bomb, the largest ever exploded. Pre mier Nikita Khrushchev has boasted Russia can make them even bigger, up to 100 meg atons. The current Soviet nuclear test series has included, ac cording to available informa tion, several devices in the 10-15 megaton range and two others of 30 megatons and more. Experts in London believe such devices can only be aimed at total and indiscrimi nate obliteration of vast areas, including cities. The United States, by con trast, favors a nuclear war strategy of discriminating at tack limited largely to stra tegic targets, while sparing cities and other chiefly civil- j ian areas. A military study published in Meshdunarodnaya Shism (International Affairs) earlier this year plainly stated that military strategy will favor a blow against such targets whose destruction will para lyze the enemy almost instantly.
