THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 3. 1960 Politics and Power Kennedy Proposes New Peace Corps SAN FRANCISCO f/P) Sen. John F. Kennedy proposed Inst night the establishment of a peace corps in which young men could serve in underdeveloped nations for three years instead of being drafted for military duty. In his speech here Kennedy pro posed that present efforts to aid underdeveloped areas of the world be supplemented by a corps of "talented young men willing and able to serve in countries in this fashion for three years as an al ternative to peacetime Selective Service.” Saying that "the enemy ad vances now by nonmilitary meth ods,” the Democratic presidential candidate said this country must have representatives abroad of greater talent and training, espe cially in the newly emerging na tions that need specialized help. "We can push a button to start the next war, but there is no push-button magic to bring a just and lasting peace,” Kennedy said in a speech prepared for delivery at the Cow Palace. The talk marked the windup of Kennedy’s final two-dav bid for the 32 electoral votes of Califor nia. home state of his Republican opponent. Vice President Rich ard M. Nixon.
