Nixon Says Humphrey Is
Uncompromising Defender
.By United Press International
Richard M. Nixon says
Hubert H. Humphrey is the
“most uncompromising defen
der” of the Johnson administra
tion and adds flatly he’s willing
to be held “accountable” for the
Eisenhower administration, If
Humphrey will be held accoun
table for Johnson’s policies.
Humphrey, although not refer
ring to Nixon, said meanwhile
that his campaign was the
target of a highly disciplined,
well-organized effort by agita
tors to destroy the Democratic
party and the United States.
Nixon, winding up a campaign
trip stretching from the Great
Plains to the Pacific Northwest,
derided the “compassion” which
Humphrey claims as one of his
strong points.
He accused Humphrey of
advocating and developing poli
cies which boosted the cost of
living for America's elderly and
raised the price of groceries
and medicine for its poor.
He demanded of a crowd
sprinkled with peace demonstra
tors whether it was "compas
sionate to have had no program
for the solution of the crime
crisis.”
In Minneapolis, Humphrey
challenged Nixon to coinpaj-e
the Eisenhower and Johnson
administrations. In New York,
Nixon’s campaign manager,
John M. Mitchell, accepted the
challenge.

if he is to be held accountable
for the Johnson administration,
Dick Nixon should be accounta

tration. We’ll accept that choice
gladly. Let the American people
decide between President Elsen
hower and President Johnson.”
Humphrey, at a Minneapolis
news conference, said his
campaign was being attacked
by "not just hecklers, but highly
disciplined, well-organized agita
tors ... some of them are
anarchists, and some of these
groups are dedicated to destroy
ing the Democratic party and
destroying this country.”
The vice president renewed
his challenge to Nixon to meet
him in a national debate on
network television.

Soviet Troops
Settle In For
Prague Winter
By JAMES O. JACKSON
PRAGUE (UPD—Soviet army
troops In cossack coats and fur
hats with earflaps patrolled the
streets of Pargue today and
settled Into warm Czechoslovak
army barracks for a long
occupation.
The Moscow’ summit meeting
today was expected to produce
agreements on a partial pullout
of the 600,000 occupation sol
diers, originally scheduled for
Tuesday, was postponed at least
until the weekend.
Prague’s leadership planned
Its next move after Moscow’
called off the conference for the
second time, again unhappy
with the membership in the
seven-man Czechoslovak delega
tion. It was clear the Soviets
wanted more pro-Moscow mem
bers in the group.
Occupation soldiers took over
two second class hotels in
Prague and the sprawling
milouice army barracks 10
miles outside town for winter
headquarters and billets. The
Hungarian press said its sol
diers were living comfortably in
"heated buildings.”
The Soviet troops donned the
heavy long coats and pulled
their earflaps down in nippy
temperatures on night patrols
through Prague on foot and in
armored cars. Most of them
bivouacked outside the city.
The postponement of the
Moscow summit came after a
speech by parliament President
Josef Smrkovsky imploring
Czechoslovaks to stand behind
their Communist first secreta
ry, Alexander Dubcek, and
support his liberal reforms
which brought on the Soviet
invasion.
Communist informants said
the Kremlin had been willing to
accept the Prague summit
delegation headed by Dubcek
until Smrkovsky’s speech.
Smrkovsky also was to go to
Moscow.
TIDE VARIATIONS
Tire rise and fall of the tides of
the sea range widely throughout
the world. At the head of the
Bay of Fundy, an inlet on the
east coast of the North Atlantic,
the range is 50 feet, while in
most of the Mediterranean it ne
ver exceeds two feet, according
to the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
