Candidates speak out amid cheers, jeers
Nixon-
AKRON, Ohio (UPI)-Richard M. Nixon lashed out at the Johnson-Humphrey administration's domestic policies yesterday and met with William W. Scranton, a key foreign policy adviser who recently returned from a tour of America's European allies.
The GOP presidential candidate hit hard at crime in America in a speech at Moline, III., and then flew to this blue-collar town to accuse Democrats of being "a false friend of labor."
Nixon met with Scranton, considered by some to be a candidate for Secretary of State in a Nixon administration, to get a first hand report on Scranton's conversations with NATO leaders.
Nixon has made a chief plank in his foreign policy program the strengthening of relations with European allies as a preliminary to talks on many issues, including the Vietnam War, with Soviet Union leaders.
Scranton was formerly under secretary of state John Foster Dulles and governor of Pennsylvania.
While promising to repair "strained" relations with NATO nations, Nixon made clear again in Moline that U.S. allies would have to carry a large share of the burden for the defense of the west.
Nixon also met with Ray Bliss, GOP national chairman, and Herb Klein, a key campaign
adviser about engineering what he calls "the strongest finish in American political history."
Nixon views Ohio as another big labor state where third-party candidate George C. Wallace poses a significant but diminishing threat.
Praising union men in his Akron appearance Nixon said Humphrey and the Democrats would only tax "American labor into permanent poverty."
"The rank and file of American labor is rightly resentful of the way some union treasuries are being emptied to support the sagging campaign of an administration that has proven a false friend of labor." Nixon said.
He leaves for Dallas Thursday for an overnight stay.
At Moline, Nixon campaigned for the Illinois vote which he feels lost him the presidency in 1960.
Humphrey-
NEW YORK (UPI)—Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey drew loud jeers and cheers yesterday from one of his largest crowds when he carried his campaign to Wall Street—a favorite Humphrey target.
"Look who's on Wall Street," the Democratic presidential candidate said as he brushed confetti from his hair and began reading from his prepared text. "It's that old social revolutionary Hubert Humphrey."
But after interruptions from anti-war hecklers and supporters
of Republican Richard M. Nixon and third party candidate George Wallace, Humphrey put aside the text and angrily declared the nation's problems "cannot be solved by the noisy left or the crude and radical right."
There was no immediate authoritative estimate of the crowd in the rally area or along the motorcicle along Broadway to Wall Street to Broad Street. Estimates ranged from 20,000 to 40,000 and aides said they believed it was the largest crowd so far at an outdoor rally for Humphrey.
Various stage and screen stars will join Robert Humphrey and his wife in a Democratic rally at the Missouri capitol in Jefferson City Sunday.
Humphrey, son of Vice President Hubert Humphrey, is touring the country with his wife, boosting his father's presidential campaign.
Co-chairman Thomas A. David, director of the state Department of Revenue, and Shirley Butters, Democratic National Committeeewoman, said singer Jose Feliciano, pianist-comedian Victor Borge and Ted Mack, host of the Original Amateur Hour, have confirmed that they will attend the event. David and Mrs. Butters predicted 5,000 persons would turn out.
Wallace-
PEORIA, III. (UPI) - George C. Wallace yesterday announced he is sending his running mate, retired Gen. Curtis LeMay, to Vietnam on a fact-finding mission next week.
The third party presidential candidate said LeMay will solicit the views of American service-men, consult with military leaders and report back to Wallace, who, in turn, will "report to the American people."
Wallace bristled when newsmen asked him if he was sending LeMay to Vietnam to get him out of the country because of any disagreement between the two over the use of nuclear weapons.
"I'm going to be the President," Wallace told an impromptu news conference. "He's going to be the vice president, and we're not going to use nuclear weapons."
