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.

to supress this

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.
