said.
"We promise, If we are success-
ful, to go to Washington, D C.,
because that is where the job is
to be done.”
Applause Long
A wild burst of enthusiasm
greeted Kennedy when he stepped
to the same rostrum from which
President Eisenhower spoke three
nights ago is behalf of Vice Presi-
dent Richard M. Nixon, the Re-
publican presidential candidate.
The crowd kept applauding even
after Kennedy tried to speak,
forcing him to make several
starts.
Kennedy was introduced by Sen.
Lyndon B. Johnson, his running
mate. Kennedy’s first words were
that he was delighted to have
Johnson mailing with him.
Objectives Stated
in an apparent double jab at
Nixon's recent stepped up attacks
on him and of President Eisen-
hower’s efforts in behalf of Nixon,
Kennedy said: “We are not en-
gaged in a name-calling contest-
we are not voting for an image—
or a team—or a protege. We are
choosing a president of the United
States"
Kennedy keyed the theme of
his speech to the objectives be
hoped to carry out in Washington.
He said he wanted “above all
else" to be a president "who not
only laid foundations for peace in
his time, but for generations to
come M well.”
He wanted, he said, to hold
back the Communist tide, ad-
vance the cause of freedom and
rebuild American prestige - "not
by words but by works-not by
stating great aims merely ss a
good debater, but by doing great
deeds as a good neighbor-not by
tours and conferences abroad, but
by vitality and direction at
home."
Other Objectives
Then he listed these other ob-
jectives:
To "regain" the office of pres-
ident for the people.
To be "president of all the
people”—not narrowly partisan or
M a “private interest president,"
yet not forgetting that he is a

those who think we have reached
our limit, those who are afraid to

With the election almost at

KENNEDY — The President's
judgment has been that we should
defend the islands if ... the attack
on those islands should be port —
of sn over-all attack on Formosa.
I support that The first position
you (Nixon) took, when this mat-
ter first came up, was that we
should draw a line and commit
ourselves, M a matter of prin-

KENNEDY — The U2 flights

But they were not in accordance

KENNEDY-The issue is not
who can best "stand up to Khrush-
chev" or who can best swap
threats and insults. The real issue
is who can stand up and summon
America's vast resources to the
defense of freedom.
SUMMIT MEETING
KENNEDY - I believe we
should not go to the summit until
there is some reason to believe
that a meeting of minds can be
obtained on either Berlin, outer
space, or general disarmament-
including nuclear testing
DISARMAMENT
NIXON - We must move for-

duce the danger of war; to move
toward controlled disarmament
to control (nuclear) tests ... But
under no circumstances must the
United States ever make an
agreement based on trust. There
must be an absolute guarantee

QUEMOY, MATSU AND WAR
NIXON-To suggest that we will
surrender these islands or force
our Chinese Nationalist Allies to
surrender them in advance is not
something that would lead to
peace, it is something that would
lead, in my opinion, to war.
KENNEDY — To commit our-
selves rigidly to defending these
indefensible islands only ties our
hands, plays into Communist
hands, and brings the whole world
closer to war. A peace-loving peo-
