Nixon will support bombing halt
By United Press International
Richard M. Nixon said Thursday that if President Johnson calls a halt to the bombing of North Vietnam that will lead to peace without imperiling American lives, "we are for it."
Nixon said he would not try to second guess Johnson because only the President could determine whether a bombing halt would increase prospects for peace without endangering American troops.
"If a bombing halt can be agreed to in Vietnam . . . one which will not endanger American lives and one which will increase the chances for bringing a peaceful and honorable solution to the war, then we are for it," the Republican presidential candidate told 6,000 persons at a rally in Johnstown, Pa.
Pledges Support
He said Johnson is "the one man who can make that determination . . . and if he makes it, we will support him because we want peace and we do not want to play politics with peace."
Although Nixon has been critical at times of previous bombing halts, he has declined generally to discuss the war issue in the campaign, claiming debate by the candidates might upset the Paris talks.
Hubert H. Humphrey, the Democratic candidate, chose not to comment on the effect or likelihood of a bombing halt. Instead he lashed out at George Wallace during an appearance in Detroit, Mich.
Bidding for support from heavily unionized Michigan, where Wallace's third party candidacy reportedly has been cutting into labor ranks, Humphrey labeled Wallace a "union buster" whose campaign was "as phony as a $3 Confederate bill."
"If you elect me your President, whatever your color—black, white, young or old, thin or fat—you're going to have a job," he told about 6,000 persons jamming John F. Kennedy Square.
Wallace Goes Home
Wallace, meanwhile, suddenly cancelled campaign visits to Kansas and Missouri and flew home to Montgomery, Ala., suffering from what one of his advance men described as "complete exhaustion." Mississippi Gov. John Bell Williams was scheduled to appear in his place.
Earlier Thursday, Wallace charged that persons who say he is unworthy of being President are attacking all Southerners.
AURH Fall Festival
The Association of University Residence Halls (AURH) Fall Festival activities are this week.
Janice Wagner, Richmond junior and chairman for the Fall Festival, said men and women's residence hall floors and scholarship halls have been paired and are planning evening social functions during the week. Functions will include cookouts, pizza parties, hour dances and exchange dinners. One of the groups plans a games party at which they will play such games as Twister, chess, bridge, spin the bottle and monopoly.
"Every group pairing should have one activity during the week, Miss Wagner said.
"The Great Pumpkin Lives," a program of skits and in-between acts will be presented from 8 to 11 p.m. Friday in Templin Hall cafeteria. The skits, produced by Watkins, Miller, Lewis and Hashinger Halls, will feature a Peanuts theme.
Admission will be five cents; tickets can be purchased at the psychiatric booth in Templin. MC'S will be responsible for entertainment between skits.
"They are saying you are not fit to be President because you are a Southerner" he told an audience in Fort Worth, Tex.
In other developments:
Edmund S. Muskie—The Democratic vice-presidential candidate denounced Wallace for offering the nation "bayonets at home and bombs abroad" and claimed Nixon "plays the same tune as Wallace but in a different key."
Describing Wallace as a "demagogue who could destroy the very liberties" guaranteeing him the right to seek the presidency, Muskie said Wallace "must be defeated so soundly that his type will never rise again."
Spiro T. Agnew—The GOP vice-presidential nominee said statements Wallace and his running mate Curtis LeMay have made about nuclear weapons are frightening "We're in a period where we are on the verge of a potential nuclear catastrophe," he said in Youngstown, Ohio.
"It can't be unleashed by a thoughtless finger on a red button."

Curtis LeMay—The vice-presidential candidate for the American Independent Party continued his fact-finding tour in Vietnam, visiting two U.S. airbases, a Navy ship and two Army command posts. The 61-year-old retired Air Force general, dressed in boots and jungle fatigues, did no politicking and spent most of his time in briefings at each location.
Eugene J. McCarthy—New York State's highest court ordered the name of the one-time Democratic presidential hopeful stricken from the state's presidential ballot. The 7-0 decision was seen as improving Humphrey's chance of winning New York's 43 electoral votes since the Democratic vote would not be split.
