The Republican candidate for Congress from the Second District last night called for a change from "the Democrat's style of petty politics" and accused his Democratic opponent of appearing to be working for the district when his record shows he is not.
Robert Ellsworth, Lawrence attorney and opponent of incumbent Congressman Newell A. George, spoke to 30 people gathered for the Young Republicans meeting at the Kansas Union.
AFTER DESCRIBING the conditions of Russia as he saw them on his trip there this summer, the tall, youthful lawyer launched an attack against his opponent, calling him "an ineffective legislator who has rendered a great disservice to this area by his inactivity."
POLITICAL TALK—Charles McIlwaine, Wichita senior and president of the Young Republicans, left, confers with Robert Ellsworth, Republican candidate for Congress from the Second District. Mr. Ellsworth spoke at the Young Republicans meeting last night.
Rep. Ellsworth Hits Democratic Policies
Thursday, Oct. 20, 1960
Mr. Ellsworth said;
Mr. Ellsworth mentioned the transfer of a unit from the Oathe Air Ease to Glynco, Ga., as being a great economic and strategic loss for the area.
"IT MIGHT be a coincidence that the transfer is to the home state of the House and Senate's chairman of the Armed Services Committee, but my opponent just yesterday, said that he had never heard tell of the move.
releases and make it look as though he's really doing something."
"Mr. George's ineffectiveness is evident when one notices that he has introduced 43 bills in the House and only one has gotten on the House calendar. He only introduces them to enable him to issue press
"And worse is the fact that the move has been planned since 1957. (Continued on Page 7)

UP Party Platform Complete and Ratified
By Byron Klapper
Ratification of the University Party Platform was completed and the platform was released last night by the University Party General Assembly.
Major points in the University Party platform are:
1. Support of and cooperation with the National Student Association on the part of the All Student Council.
2. Investigation of the low wages paid to students.
"The length of the platform itself, I feel, is an indictment against the incumbents," Cacioppo said. "If they had been doing their jobs there wouldn't be a need for many of these planks. The Council has not done an adequate job. That's why the platform was adopted and that's why the University Party exists."
3. Formation of a "Little Civil Service" board to control appointments to ASC committees on basis of qualifications instead of political affiliations.
4. Investigation of complaints that the Kansas Union bookstore and cafeterias are overcharging students.
When the motion to accept the 14th and final plank of the platform finally was voted on and passed, Paul Caciopio, Overland Park senior and co-chairman of the University Party, drew a momentary sigh of relief and relaxed at the speaker's platform.
HE GLANCED at a copy of the UP platform that was marked with changes and amendments and grew tense again.
Considerable debating took place during the ratification of certain planks in the UP platform. Point 7 of the UP platform states that the Labor Committee of the ASC has done nothing to aid the many students who are working for wages far below the "reasonable standards exemplified by the national wage scale."
"WE WANT to make an issue out of this low wage," Caciopio

Political Scene Dynamic Jack Says Politics at a Glance Nixon Seeks Nixon Erred By United Press International 12-Point Plan
NEW YORK — (UPI) — Sen. John F. Kennedy charged today that Vice President Richard M. Nixon's 13-point "white paper" accusing the Democratic nominee of inaccuracies "repeats some of the most glaring errors Mr. Nixon has made in this campaign."
—ON CONSERVATION and power development, Kennedy quoted an official Soviet magazine as saying overall Soviet power production in 1975 would be about the same as predicted by the Senate Interior Committee for this nation in that year.
—On Nixon's claim that Kennedy's farm program would raise food prices about 25 per cent, Kennedy said, "My farm program will cost tax payers $3 billion a year
In issuing a point-by-point rebuttal, Kennedy said "While I take this opportunity to set forth the facts, the total record of Nixon misstatements, slurs and distortions could not possibly be answered in a single white paper."
In his reply to Nixon, Kennedy cited what he said were facts to back up campaign statements challenged by Nixon.
NIXON — Called for reforming taxes to give more incentive to individuals and more productivity to industry. "These and other changes would contribute substantially to a better environment for economic growth," he said in a New York speech.
KENNEDY — Answered Nixon's 13-point "white paper" in detail, charging the vice president "repeats some of the most glaring errors Mr. Nixon has made in his campaign."
ADM. ARTHUR RADFORD — The former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff charged in New York that Kennedy's "basic position on Matsu and Quemoy might lead the United States into war." If Mr. Kennedy is elected I'm afraid the Chinese Communists would take advantage of his position and try us out and see if we would fight."
SEN. J. WILLIAM FULBRIGH1 The chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee accused the White House of suppressing foreign policy documents which might damage Nixon's election prospects.
NEW YORK —(UPI)— Vice President Richard M. Nixon today proposed a 12-point program to foster the nation's economic growth with a wide-range of, measures including possible "tax adjustments" against any inflationary crisis and creation of a national economic council which would have the same stature in its field as the national security council has on defense.
To guard against the threat of inflation, he said he would set up "an early warning economic intelligence system." He said that with this system the economy could be protected "through flexible use of fiscal and credit policies, including tax adjustments if necessary."
NIXON ALSO pledged that if he is elected President, he will "convene working sessions for each major critical industry . . . to analyze the automation problem as it is unique to that industry and develop a program for assistance in dealing with it."
The Republican candidate reaffirmed his insistence that the Eisenhower administration has moved forward in every economic field since it took office in 1953. But he

said. "We don't feel students are getting a fair break."
Someone from the audience asked the husky 6-footer what he thought he could accomplish by making an issue of the low wage scale on campus.
Cacioppo replied, "We can't tell them to pay more, but we can tell them we wish they would pay more."
Cacioppo was explaining Point 13 of the UP platform which, before amended, provided for separate representation for large and small dormitories according to their size. The discussion on the floor was, shall the dormitories be divided and how shall districts with few people such as professional fraternities and Co-ops be represented?
"A SIGNIFICANT portion of the student body is not being represented by the Student Council," said Cacioppo. "Namely the small dormitories. Last night Vox came up with something about separation of dormitories and we endorsed the idea. It's probably the only idea it endorsed from Vox," he said.
A correction was called by Charles Menghini, Pittsburg junior and independent co-chairman of UP who informed Cacioppo that only a few of the smaller dormitories were not being represented. Cacioppo honored the correction.
During a discussion of Point 3 of the UP platform regarding the orices in the Kansas Union cafeteria and bookstore, James Anderson, Lawrence junior brought some specific examples of overcharging on the part of the Union bookstore.
Stronger Civil Rights Discussed
By Frank Morgan
"The purpse of an anti-discrimination organization is not to force legislation or laws on people but to show them that minority groups are beneficial to the community as a whole."
Carl Glatt, executive secretary of the Kansas Anti-Discrimination Committee, made this statement at the Civil Rights Council meeting last night in the Kansas Union.
"PEOPLE HAVE a tendency to fear a group such as my commission or your council but our only purpose is to gather facts about discrimination in a community and to try to point out that the practice is detrimental to all," he said.
He cited cases where qualified Negro teachers and secretaries had to work as domestics or dishwasher because of discrimination.
"This really hurts when there is

Negroes Continue Atlanta Sit-Ins
ATLANTA — (UPI) — Negroes resumed their attempts to desegregate Atlanta restaurants for the second successive day today.
G. D. King, brother of integration leader Martin Luther King who was jailed for a similar attempt yesterday, led a group of 30 students on a return visit to Rich's which claims to be the South's largest department store.
The new protest group found all eating places at Rich's closed until further notice. The store has a large tea room, men's grill, snack bar and a cafeteria for Negroes.
"ESTERBROOK pen points that cost 35 cents in Lawrence sell for 70 cents at the bookstore," he said. Lifting a yellow pad off the table, Anderson said, "This pad which sells for 40 cents in Lawrence costs 75 cents in the Union."
Fred Morrison, Colby senior suggested that this situation be investigated and if it exists student opinion should be aroused.

Morrison Raps ASC's NSA Views
Fred Morrison, Colby senior, last night criticized the president of the All Student Council for his attitude toward the National Student Association.
At the meeting of the University Party General Assembly Morrison said:
"The NSA is a big issue this year. Students are more interested in national policy, in education, in civil rights, in disarmament and in desegregation than they are in committee appointments or in sitting on the 50-yard line at a football game," he said.
MORRISON then directed his remarks toward Ronald K. Dalby, Joplin, Mo., senior and president of the ASC.
"Dalby says that the average student is not thinking of these issues," he declared. "The trouble is that Dalby thinks of himself as the average student."
He said when matters concerning the NSA are brought before the Student Council they are given to a committee to choose a committee to discuss the matter.
"THE NSA has a place in student government and should be brought before the government instead of being placed in the hands of some uninterested committee," Morrison said.
"I feel that taking a stand for the NSA on our part is a good thing," he continued.
Morrison criticized Dalby for not being able to accept the liberal point of view now prevailing at the NSA.
THE MAJORITY of officers in NSA are from the "Evil schools such as the University of Michigan and City College New York (CCNY) and others like them with a lot more liberal point of view than our ASC president." Morrison said.
Morrison also struck out against Jerry Palmer, El Dorado junior, for his recent recommendation that NSA be looked into by groups other than ASC.
"The ASC should be capable of discussing the issues of the NSA," Morrison said.
HE EXPLAINED that Point 1 of the UP platform will provide that major and controversial resolutions by the NSA will be discussed carefully and decided upon by the ASC.
Morrison said the NSA is serving KU by representing it nationally as well as supplying it with material full of good ideas for more effective student government.
Issues now before the NSA are sit-ins and desegregation, House un-American activities, and maybe disarmament, Morrison said.
