Campaign trail
Nixon makes law and order appeal
By United Press International
By United Press International Richard M. Nixon Monday accused Hubert H. Humphrey of having "given aid and comfort to rioters and looters" for saying two years ago that he could "lead a mighty good rebolt" himself if he lived in one of the nation's slums.
The Republican presidential candidate's attack—one of the strongest yet—against his Democratic rival came in a statement on law and order as he set out on an extensive campaign swing through the Midwest.
"A vote for Hubert Humphrey is a vote to continue a lackadaisical, do-nothing attitude toward the crime crisis in America," Nixon said. "It is a vote for policies that have left us with a crime rate that will redouble crime in America by the end of 1972."
Humphrey, meanwhile, was confronted by an angry group of antwar demonstrators in Brooklyn, N.Y., and had to turn his microphone to peak volume in order to shout them down.
While Nixon and Humphrey concentrated on the issue of law and order, third party candidate George C. Wallace said American farmers were hard-pressed because of "governmental mismanagement, experimentation and, worst of all, unconcern."
Campaigning in Moline, Ill. and speaking on a rare occasion from a prepared text, Wallace proposed raising farm prices to 100 per cent of parity to assure farmers "the cost of production plus a reasonable profit."
Before leaving New York for the Midwest, Nixon pledged to provide incentives for industry to create 15 million new jobs in a way that will help Negroes and others find work without displacing persons already employed.
In an obvious effort to counter third-party candidate George C. Wallace's appeal among the ranks of organized labor in the industrialized north, the Republican presidential nominee said in a nationwide radio broadcast: "We will do this in a way that will help and not harm the man with a job today."
He proposed creating eight million jobs for workers displaced by automation and seven million for those who don't have decent jobs and for youths joining the labor force.
Before he left New York City for Cincinnati, the first stop on a tour of Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania, Nixon gave newsmen a 194-page volume detailing his positions in response to criticism that he had failed to come to grips with campaign issues.
In other political developments:
Democratic presidential nominee Hubert H. Humphrey, bidding for New York's 43 electoral votes, appealed to 200 leaders of the state's divided party for unified support before it was too late.
"Don't tell me you don't have the resources to wage a campaign," he said. "If you can't afford it . . . improvise."
American Independent party candidate, George C. Wallace, was heckled at a rally at Briston, Tenn. He told an audience of 10,000 persons that he would tell Nixon, "you better not debate because if you ever debate you're going to get torn up."
Edmund S. Muskie, Humphrey's vice presidential running mate, is preferred over his GOP counterpart, Spiro T. Agnew, by a margin of 41 to 24 per cent among the voters polled by Louis Harris.
EDISON, NJ. (UPI) — There's a Police Training School at the Kilmer Job Corps Center here. It is the only school of its kind in the nation, the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) reports.
Surgeon will speak on smoking and lung cancer
Dr. Alton Ochsner, one of the first surgeons to claim a relationship between smoking and lung cancer, will speak on "The Increasing Health Menace of Tobacco" at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in Dyche Auditorium.
Fifty-eight police trainees, selected from Job Corps Centers in 30 states, are enrolled in this experimental program designed to turn high school dropouts and hard-core unemployed into qualified trained policemen. To enter, corpsmen had to read on an eight grade level, and do at least seventh grade math.
A consultant at Walter Reed Army Medical Hospital, Washington, D.C., and national consultant to the surgeon general of the United States Air Force, Ochsner is also a founding member of the American Board of Surgery and the American Board of Thoracic Surgery.
has smoked a pack of cigarettes a day since age 21. He says for every cigarette smoked, one shortens his life 14.4 minutes.
He says in 1964, 350,000 people unnecessarily lost their lives because of the use of tobacco. A 50-year old man who has never smoked can expect to live eight and a half years longer than the same individual who
