less” than Nixon's and “will have little effect on food prices, for the farmer receives only a small share of the total cost of food.”
—On medical care, Kennedy cited Congressional actions which he said supported his claim that Nixon is guilty of "election year hypocrisy" on health and medicine.
—HE CITED instances which he said showed the Democrats, not the Republicans, had taken the lead in "each advance toward equality of opportunity." Nixon had disputed Kennedy's statement that the GOP "has failed to take one constructive step toward guaranteeing equal opportunities to all Americans."
-On housing, Kennedy again set forth voting records which he said backed up his claim that Republicans, including Nixon on one House vote in 1949, opposed various housing programs.
—Kennedy cited a series of Congressional votes on which Republicans voted against federal school aid to back up his claim that the GOP has consistently "opposed federal aid to education."
-On the Quemoy-Matsu issue, Nixon had accused Kennedy of incompletely quoting a letter from Eisenhower to Sen. Theodore Francis Green (D-R.I.) then Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman, about the defense of the offshore islands.
—KENNFDY REPEATED his claim, quoting the Eisenhower administration's own Forest Service, that reforestation is lagging and that forests and wild life are vanishing.
KENNEDY SAID the letter "expressed the administration position that he would defend Quemoy and Matsu if their defense became necessary or appropriate for the defense of Formosa and the Pescadores. He would not defend Quemoy if their defense was not necessary to the defense of Formosa and the Pescadores," and "We would not retreat from Quemoy and Matsu under fire."
Kennedy said. "My position throughout has been consistent with the position of the administration and with our present treaty obligations."
Nixon Seeks 12-Point Plan

(Continued from page 1) said modern challenges "require that we quicken our advance and utilize our resources more fully."
Nixon said his "forward-looking" suggestions avoid speaking of "target growth rates, for if we pursue the right policies and pursue them imaginatively and vigorously, the resulting growth rate will be right."
KENNEDY HAS maintained that the current growth rate is too low and must be stepped up if the nation is to stay ahead of Russia on the economic front.
Nixon, in recommending creation of a national economic council to advise the President, acknowledged that "new machinery" is needed to coordinate federal efforts to promote healthy economic growth.
He said the high level council he suggested would "intrigue in no way on the independence of the federal reserve system, which is something the opposition seems bent on doing and which is already causing concern in responsible circles, both in our country and abroad."
AS HE HAS before, Nixon said "We must attack featherbedding in all its forms" including bureaucratic waste and "the make-work mentality still surviving in some quarters of labor."
Nixon unveiled his overall program, which included a number of points he had made individually in past speeches, in an address prepared for delivery before the National Association of Business Economists meeting at New York University's Vanderbilt Auditorium.
He said his program recognizes "the spirit of individual entr $\rho$ prise in 180 million Americans."

Stronger Civil Rights Law Sought

"THE LAW was never meant to interfere with individual employers in running their business," he said. "Its only purpose is to give minority groups an opportunity to show that they are qualified and that there is no difference between races or religions.
Verna Godman, Lawrence special student and spokesman for the group, explained the origins and purpose of the council.
"Mr. Glatt spoke of a study at Cornell University where this was done," Miss Godman said, "and it turned out to be much more advantageous for the University community than the previous practice."
KU Housing Office about accepting only those room and apartment listings that are open to all regardless of race or religion.
Mr. Glatt said that although Kansas has a Fair Employment Practices Law, it has no teeth — no provisions for enforcement.
"Last spring, some students from the KU-Y and the Presbyterian Student Center initiated this movement. We merely wanted to find out what response such an organization would bring and then go on from there."
SHE SAID the council's first task will be to eliminate discrimination in housing for students and their families. They hope to talk to the
"We are not attempting to make people feel sympathetic toward the Negro just because he is discriminated against. This would be as bad as the existing practice.
"WHAT ENFORCEMENT we do want," he said, "is for our commission to be able to supoena records of violators and bring them to a public hearing.
