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.

! his speech with applause 20 times:
| "In every index by which we

[Such strength and development

which are built all our necessary
programs for national prosperity

Mitropoulos was rehearsing
Gustav Mahler’s Third Symphony
for a concert here Monday. A few
minutes before taking up his ba
ton, he had complained of being
tired.
"I feel very fatigued,” he said.
“I am an old automobile that still
works, however.”
Then he rehearsed the orches
tra for about 10 minutes. Sudden
ly he stopped and put a hand to
his heart. Before any of the mu
sicians could reach him, he col
lapsed and fell from the podium.
He was rushed to Milan's Poly
clinic Hospital but died on the
way.
