Fifth 'Great' Debate Negotiations Collapse
PENN5YLVANIA — (UPI)— Negotiations for a fifth television debate between Sen. John F. Kennedy and Vice President Richard M. Nixon collapsed in a "no agreement" stalemate today.
The Kennedy campaign party announced that the Senator's representative in negotiations for a final TV debate had been "unable to get a definitive answer from the Republican presidential candidate" on time and place.
J. Leonard Reinsch charged in a telegram to the four networks that apparently Nixon "was not acting in good faith in his acceptance of the fifth debate" set forth in a Sunday telegram.
Candidates Trade Campaign Blows
Nixon
Vice President Richard M. Nixon, fighting recession talk from the Democratic camp, today foresaw the necessity of federal fiscal and credit policies to restrain future economic booms.
(UPI) - Both presidential candidates slammed their opponent's fiscal programs and domestic policy today as they campaigned hard in key states.
Battleting hoarseness and an annoying cold, the Republican presidential candidate campaigned by train through a succession of Illinois towns.
He again accused Kennedy of trying "to talk America into fear of a recession for his own political gain."
"This kind of phenomenon we have experienced in our past economic history and we are likely to

Sen. John F. Kennedy said on his campaign swing through Pennsylvania today that Vice President Richard M. Nixon would not dare use his "never had it so good" slogan in the job-hungry Keystone State.
Kennedy also hurled back at the vice president the accusations Nixon has been using against him in the campaign. He said it is Nixon, not he, who is "downgrading America" and "selling America short."
He played on the unemployment issue in his bid for Pennsylvania's 32 electoral votes.
Kennedy told some 4,000 persons at Moravian College in Bethlehem that the U.S. is "strong in production but we cannot possibly afford to have our facilities unused."
He had told an earlier breakfast in Bethlehem, where he spent the
Gov. G. Mennen (Soapy) Williams of Michigan brought the Kennedy bandwagon to the Forum Room of the Kansas Union yesterday. Speaking on the "Strategy of Peace," the Democratic governor outlined a five-point program to counteract the "drifting, dragging and dawdling foreign policy of the Eisenhower administration."
night, "I'm willing to spend time talking about Quemoy and Matsu and all the rest, but I also want to know what's going to happen to Pennsylvania and the United States."
He warned that "if we drift here at home, all the bold words and fingers pointed won't make up for lack of strength in the United States."
The six-term chief executive told a partisan crowd of 200 people that the new dimensions of technical advancements in arms make an immediate program for lasting peace imperative.
He cited needs in education, help for the aging, medical care, housing and natural resources.

G. Mennen Williams "...A test ban..."
"The force of one nuclear bomb is greater, in terms of explosive power, than all the bombs dropped on Germany and Japan in World War II." he said. "The speed of strategic bombers has reduced the flying time from Russia to the U.S. from 16 hours to less than 30 minutes.
"The present theory that we must achieve peace through a mutual
balance of power terrifies me. And in light of this awesome strength, we have to have a positive, realistic peace program."
Gov. Williams then outlined the Democratic program as proposed by presidential candidate John F. Kennedy.
- Creation of an international institution for World law.
- Multi-lateral efforts for stabilization of the economies of needy countries.
- A new approach toward relaxing world tensions.
- Creation of a domestic agency and program for peace.
- More positive action toward disarmament.
The point of disarmament was the governor's major issue.
"A test ban on nuclear instruments should be mutually agreed upon," he said. "There is no need for us to lapse if the Russians don't."
"We must have an inspection backed ban on all deterrent testing immediately. And after this step, we can look to the formation of a joint nuclear research program."
He spoke of the basic difference between the two presidential candidates as being "Mr. Nixon's misunderstanding of world events."
"The solution to world peace and competition with the Russians isn't as simple as Mr. Nixon would have us believe. It's not enough to 'talk tough to the Russians.' Sen. Kennedy's proposed plans of negotiation are more realistic than Mr. Nixon's time table," he said.
Gov. Williams was asked to comment on Vice President Nixon's contention that American prestige was never so high throughout the world.
"There is too much evidence to the contrary," he said. "The state department's unwillingness to release its own report on this is unusual if prestige is so high.
"Several polls and other reports on American prestige abroad seem to indicate that our prestige is going down, and it now means we can't present two faces to the world; one abroad and one at home."
UP, Vox Debate Union Prices, Wages
CALM CACIOPPO?—Paul Cacioppo, Overland Park senior and Greek co-chairman of UP, puffs on a cigarette while he listens to Ron Dalby, Joplin, Mo., senior and student body president. Jack Lee Roberts, Kansas City, Kan., junior, and president of Vox is in the middle. The three met in their first face-to-face debate over campus controversies last night.
By Byron Klapper
The leaders of both campus political parties and the president of the student body clashed on many issues in their first face-to-face debate last night in the Kansas Union.
Ronald K. Dalby, Joplin, Mo,
senior and president of the student
body; Paul P. Cacioppo, Overland
Park senior and Greek co-chairman
of the University party, and Jack
Lee Roberts, Kansas City junior
and president of Vox Populi spoke
last night at the Y-sponsored Fresh-
man Forum.
Roberts, the third speaker, began his delivery by qualifying the statement he made at the last Vox meeting when he promised that Vox would "literally" tear the UP party platform apart.
Roberts said that he had made a mistake as to the number of planks of the UP platform which he claimed as former Vox planks or ideas.
"I said that 12 of the 14 planks on the UP platform were used before by Vox. There were actually 11."
"I stand corrected," Roberts jibbed.
This brought chuckles from the audience.
Caciopo Laments Inactivity
In answer to a question from the
audience Cacioppo did not deny that the planks were brought up by Vox. He said, however, that he felt little had been done about the issues.
Roberts retaliated by saying that 20 of 21 issues brought up by Vox are now under consideration by the ASC.
One of the UP's planks concerns an investigation of wages and Kansas Union prices. Cacioppo said this was not intended to "cast a slanderous light on the Union."
"It's a wonderful Union and we are glad to have it, but we have a right to know where and now our money is spent." Cacioppo said.
He continued:
"I'm sure that no one in this audience thinks that 65 cents an hour is a reasonable wage. There are plenty of typists who are working for far less than they should be getting."
"UP now has a controlling membership in the Student Union Activities and if they want to do something about it (Union prices) why don't they?" asked Roberts.
Roberts answered Cacioppo by pointing out Vox investigated Union prices two years ago. According to Roberts, Mr. Frank Burge, director of the Union, explained the pricing system at that time.
"Mr. Cacioppo expects to raise wages and lower Union prices. I wonder how he expects to do that?" Roberts queried. The audience laughed.
Roberts said that the Union employs about 300 people. A wage increase of 10 cents an hour would amount to $4,000 per month raise in wages.
According to Roberts, the issue concerning student wages has been in campus politics since 1951.
"I agree we should get more money, but how?" inquired Roberts.
Although both party leaders felt that there should be a raise in wages, neither presented a method indicating how it could be accomplished.
Regarding NSA, Capioppo said that he was against delegating the study to a committee. This was suggested at an ASC meeting.
He appealed to the students to elect qualified individuals to the ASC who can discuss issues at hand instead of "just average people with average mentalities."
During the question period, a member of the audience noted an inconsistency between Roberts and Dalby on NSA. Dalby was asked how he stood with regard to NSA.
"I, as student body president, favor
