THURSDAY. OCTOBER 6. 1960 World At Kennedy Rips Nixon 'Papers' LOUISVILLE, Ky. UP) Sen. John F. Kennedy last night jabbed at "position papers" put out by Vice President Richard M. Nixon on education and housing, declar ing these cannot "paper over his record or the record of the Re publican party." Kennedy said Nixon's housing paper states the basic Housing Act of 1949 has worked well. - "This is an interesting admis sion," he commented, "because . . . Mr. Nixon voted against the Housing act of 1949 and has con sistently opposed every basic fea ture of it. "His new 'position paper' may express concern for those who live in slums. But his principal con crete suggestion is to raise the interest rate on FHA and VA mortgages." As to education, the Democratic nominee commented that Nixon "says he is for higher teachers' salaries forgetting that it was his vote that killed an amend ment offering funds to the states to raise such salaries. "He says he is for federal aid to colleges, forgetting that he called is 'undesirable' in the days when the Democratic Congress passed it twice and the Republi can administration vetoed it twice." Birds Seen Clue In Electra Crash BOSTON (fP) Hundreds of dead starlings on a Logan Inter national Airport runway may hold the key to New England's biggest airplane disaster that took 61 lives late Tuesday. Gen. E. R. Quesada, federal av iation administrator, noted this piossibility yesterday as civil aero nautics officials began an investi gation of the crash into the sea of a four-engine Eastern Air Lines Electra just after takeoff. "We are convinced," the gener al said, "a large number of star lings were at the end of that run way when the plane took off. "When these birds are ingested by a jet engine they can disrupt the delicate airline of the engine and cause a stall." The big plane—with 57 passen gers and a crew of five had just taken off near twilight when it suddenly plunged into a narrow bay separating the airport and Winthrop on Boston's North Shore.

Phone AD 8-1461 A Glance Nixon Pushes Negro Rights PHILADELPHIA (IP) Vice President Richard M. Nixon said yesterday that "no American 'can ever feei right unless we prac tice what we preach" in civil 'rights. Nixon made equal rights for Negroes his central theme in a campaign day that took him from the quiet campus of Fordham Uni versity in the Bronx to Manhat tan's teeming garment district. Nixon told a throng of 23,000 gathered in_the shadows of Rocke feller Center's skyscapers that every American must have a chance for equal opportunity: "We can't all hit home runs. but everyqne should have his chance at bat." There are two reasons for this, Nixon said: "It's right" and "We can't afford to waste the talents" . of 14 million Negroes in the coun try. He pointed to George Wash ington Carver, the great Negro scientist and educator as a good example of the kind of talents he spoke of. In remarks prepared for his talk last night, Nixon said his opponent, Sen. John F. Ken nedy, had made at least 10 speeches in the South but in only one of them "and then only fleetingly" had he presented his views for the platform corn-, mitments his party has made on , the issue of civil rights. 13 Dead in Tenn. Plant, Blasts' Cause Unknown KINGSPORT, Tenn. (IP) Workmen poked through the rub ble 'of a Tennessee Eastman Co. plant yesterday seeking clues to the mysterious blast which killed 13 persons Tuesday and injured more than 60 others. "We haven't any idea when we'll be able to determine just what caused the explosion if ever," said one Eastman official. The building functioned by re mote control, making the investi gative job harder. That fact held down the death toll from the blast, felt 20 miles away. Those who were close enough to the explosion possibly to shed some light on its cause, either were killed or seriously injured. WESLEY FOUNDATION Rowtin I 9 a ti 7:30 p.m. FRIDAY Meet at Foundation.
