Kennedy and Nixon Discuss Foreign Policy, Farm Issue Nixon Questions Kennedy's Silence Kennedy Accuses Nixon of 'Coverup'
NIXON in OHIO — (UPI) — Vice President Richard M. Nixon today questioned the political courage of Sen. John F. Kennedy for having fallen "so strangely silent" on the Democratic election year farm program.
"Could it be that once again his political nerve has failed him?" the Republican candidate asked as he campaigned by train through industrial and agricultural sections of Ohio in energetic quest of the state's 25 electoral votes.
HIS CHALLENGE of Kennedy's political courage took the form of a series of questions, beginning with, "has Senator Kennedy abandoned his farm plan?
"Could it be that my opponent doesn't have the courage to point out that a million jobs would be lost on the farms of America?" Nixon asked. "Could it be that he doesn't have the political courage to cut the per capita supply of pork and beef below the rationing levels of World War II and thus establish once again in our time a nationwide network of black markets?" he continued. "That's what his program would do."
"If he doesn't propose to cut your meat supply below World War II rationing level, let him tell you just how much meat he will let you eat every week."
En Route with Kennedy — (UFI)
— Sen. John F. Kennedy today accused Vice President Richard M. Nixon of a "political coverup" on the status of American prestige abroad. Kennedy said the coverup is far more dangerous than what he termed past "suppressions of the truth" on other matters by the Eisenhower administration.
Kennedy said the Administration has "consistently followed a policy of suppressing important public information." And he cited refusals to explain bidding procedures on government procurement contracts and on the handling of economic and technical aid programs in various foreign countries as examples.
The Democratic Presidential nominee continued to assail Nixon on the prestige issue as he turned from Illinois to Michigan for a quick sally into the Detroit area before flying on to New York City.
The senator hit repeatedly at Nixon on with the charge that he has "seriously misled the American people" concerning a secret U.S. information agency report showing American prestige abroad to be at a new low—not the "all time high" claimed by his GOP opponent.

An exhibit showing the tropical relatives of some common Kansas insects is now up in the Kansas Union. The exhibit is in a show case in the main lounge of the Union.
Insect Exhibit Seen In Kansas Union
George Byers, associate professor of entomology, arranged the exhibit for Student Union Activities. The specimens were selected from the nearly two million insects in the Snow Entomological Museum of which Dr. Byers is assistant curator.
9th & Miss. — VI 3-9849
Included in the exhibit are preserved examples of large tropical insects. These are the actual insects and not models as many students have assumed, Dr. Byers said.
"An arrangement of insect architecture was included in the exhibit," he said. "Insects do this construction entirely by instinct and the structures are the same generation after generation. One of the most interesting things in the exhibit is a jug shaped nest which was built by a potter wasp."
Another section in the exhibit shows the steps in selection and perservation of insects for the Entomological Museum. Every summer since 1886 entomology students from KU have gone on an extended field trip in the summer.
