U.S. Reaction to halt favorable
WASHINGTON (UPI)—Democrats across the land heaped praise Thursday pight on President Johnson's decision to halt the bombing of North Vietnam. Republicans were more cautious in their approval.
Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey, seeking to succeed Johnson as Chief Executive, called it a "prudent and ... wise decision." He said "it now appears that Hanoi has agreed to proceed with prudent_and productive action."
Humphrey's GOP opponent, Richard M. Nixon, said he hoped the bombing halt will "bring more progress" toward peace and he pledged his support to Johnson in his efforts to end the war.
But he said the nation needed a new foreign policy "to see that America is not involved in another Vietnam."
Former Pennsylvania Gov. William Scranton, who just returned from an European survey on Nixon's behalf, said it was "an important decision by the president which is most welcome."
Third party candidate George C. Wallace said it was unfortunate that the peace moves came so close to election day but that he-unlike others—would not say it was "politically inspired" because "I'm not aware of all the facts."
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., long an opponent of the bombing, said "everyone
Speaker John W. McCormack, D-Mass., said, "it was a calculated risk that the President was justified in taking . . ."
who has worked and spoken for peace so long must applaud the President's statement."
Sen. John C. Stennis, D-Miss., chairman of the Senate's preparedness subcommittee, noted that he had always advocated increased
ing the bombing and questioned whether Hanoi was "giving in some or veiling"
He said "it seems to me that within two days we could be able to tell whether North Vietnam really means business." Unless it does, Stennis advocated resuming the bombing.
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller, who lost his presidential bid to Nixon, said "everyone here and abroad is deeply gratified that this first step toward peace in Vietnam has been taken."
Sen. George McGovern, D-S.D., who sought the presidential nomination on a peace program, said he was "deeply gratified" and hoped that "the other side will respond with appropriate steps. . . ."
Sen Jacob Javits, R-N.Y., called the halt "a great development" for America. "I thoroughly approve of the action taken by the President," he said.
Poet recreates folklore of American river valleys
Folkok of the Ohio and Mississippi River Valleys was recreated last night as John Knopeff read his poetry in the Kansas Union Forum Room.
New York Mayor John V. Lindsay said, "this is an important breakthrough for the country and for the whole world toward peace."
Several of Knopeple's poems concluded with comic twists which brought laughter from the audience.
About 40 persons attended the reading, which was sponsored by the SUA.
One such poem was "Farmer and the Owl." This was a tale of
a prankish farmer who dipped an owl's tail in kerosene and set it aflame, only to watch the owl then set fire to his barn.
Official Bulletin
Another poem, which was less humorous, related the eerie leg-end of a mule which was trapped in a coal mine. The echoing sounds of the mule's hoof beats created terror among the miners.
