Nixon Seeks Votes Os
‘Forgotten’ Citizens
By United Pr e ss International
Richard M. Nixon, pressing
his quest for the votes of
“forgotten” Americans, says
Hubert H. Humphrey would be
too expensive for the United
States, especially tire working
man.
Humphrey, meanwhile, ac
cused the press of not
"portraying the true story of
America” by emphasizing the
actions of demonstrators and
ignoring what "decent, tax
paying, productive” citizens are
doing.
Nixon, in Milwaukee, insisted
the working man could not
"afford” Humphrey as pres
ident. “If Mr. Humphrey were
elected, he would make the
most expensive president in
history.”
Departing from his usual
practice so far in the campaign,
Nixin referred to Humphrey by
name as he charged that every
pay raise received by the

US Officials Aren’t
Sure Russia Is Ahead
In Race To Moon
WASHINGTON (UPD—U.S.
space officials say they are not
sure yet who is ahead in the
race to put a man on the moon,
but they believe Russia should
be able to do it “in the next
year or so.”
Their estimate for this
country is a "possible” lunar
landing by mid-1969 if all goes
exactly right in the Apollo
program.
This was the picture outlined
Monday as the newly named
acting director of the National
Aeronautics and Space Adminis
tration, Dr. Thomas O. Paine,
and his aides reviewed the
space race in light of Russia’s
weekend success looping an
unmanned Zond 5 spacecraft

average American in the last
three years has been wiped out
by rising prices and taxes.
Nixon contrasted that claim
with Humphrey’s claim that
‘‘the American worker...has
never had it so good.”
Nixon, on the first leg of a
five - day campaign swing
through South Dakota, Washing
ton, Idaho, Colorado, Missouri,
Kentucky, Tennessee and Flori
da, has repeatedly said he
would stand up for the
“forgotten” Americans—those
who, unlike demonstrators, are
not heard from but whom, he
says, make up the majority of
the population.
Humphrey tended to agree
with this thinking Monday as he
condemned as "nothing short of
outrageous” the fact that
hippies, Yippies and Black
Panthers get more press
coverage than other Americans.
The Democratic nominee said
it was the obligation of
around the moon and returning
it to earth.
The United States plans to
send three astronauts on a
flight of nearly 11 days in orbit
around the earth next month to
test the Apollo moonship and
their ability to handle it. The
flight is scheduled to start Oct.
11.
If this flight is successful the
next one, around Christmas
time, may be a journey in
which Apollo astronauts will fly
to the moon, ride in orbit
around it for a day, and then
return.
This would be immensely
more difficult than the Zond 5
feat.
Paine said it will be late
October or early November
before NASA decided whether
to make the December flight a
venture aronud the moon.
The Russians chose in their
moon program to begin with
unmanned flights whereas this
country has decided to put men
aboard its more ambitious
projects after thorough space
craft and rocket testing closer
to home.
NASA’s retiring director,
James E. Webb, said budget
limitations may have kept this
country in second place behind
the Soviet space effort. Paine
agreed that Russia puts higher
priority on space projects than
it does, say, on “community
swimming pools.”
He said NASA’s budget cuts
will hurt the U.S. program
“very badly” in planning
projects to be undertaken
"following our and Soviet
landings” on the moon.
As to which country is now
ahead in the lunar landing race,
however, Paine said more will

to “portray the true story of
America” and sharply criticized
“the news you get about a
handful of discontents and a
handful of malcontents...”
In other political develop
ments:
George C. Wallace— The for
mer Alabama governor said
Monday he would announce his
choice for a running mate early
next week and It would be “a
real surprise for everyone.” He
said it would be a “very
prominent, well-known person
ality” but would not elaborate.
Spiro T. Agnew— Agnew, the
GOP vice presidential nominee,
angrily reacted to charges he
had committed racial slurs by
using the terms “Polack” and
“Jap.” The Maryland governor
said in Hawaii that he had not
used the terms in a derisive
manner, but said, "If I have
inadvertently offended anybody
I am truly sorry.” He had been
be knowm about that at the end
o fMarch after the first three
manned Apollo test flights. Cuts
in the NASA budget so far have
not affected the Apollo lunar
project.
Chrysler May
Be Forced To
Roll Back Prices
DETROIT (UPD — General
Motors Corporation’s price hike,
just slightly more than half of
Chrysler Corporation’s increase,
may force Chrysler to roll back
its new car price increases for
the third straight year.
The GM announcement Mon
day of a 1.6 per cent, or $49,
increase brought a pleased
reaction from the White House
as President Johnson called it a
"step in the right direction.”
Last week Chrysler made a
2.9 per cent, or SB4, increase
and Johnson declared it to be
"a dangerous inflationary
threat.”
Including the 7 per cent
federal excise tax and the cost
of headrests, GM cars will
average $69.55 more, while
Chrysler cars will average
$114.88 higher.
The GM increases were less
than the amount added onto
new model price tags in each of
the last three years.
Ford was expected to an
nounce its 1969 prices within a
few days.
INNOCENT KISSES
ROME (UPD—A police ma
gistrate ruled Friday that hugs
and kisses in public do not
constitute adultery.
Magistrate Bruno Scrivo
made the ruling in dismissing
adultery action brought by the
estranged wife of a Rome
doctor.
He said evidence gathered by
private detectives concerning
the man’s behavior in public did
not prove the man engaged in
more intimate exchanges of
affection in private.

(UPD—A local businessman
received a letter Friday with a

didn’t think the snails would
catch up with it.”

Baltimore reporter—whom he
said was a friend—as a “fat

D-Hawaii, one of the two

someone should teach Agnew
something about diplomacy and
“Nixon’s the one” who should
do it.
Edmund S. Muskle — The
Maine senator returned to the
Senate Monday for the first
time since his selection as the
Democratic vice presidential
nominee. He was taking off
