Campaign Sketchpad Marion, Indiana, Chronicle a Oct. 14, 1960 Rockefeller, Johnson Have Replaced Kefauver As Champion Handshakers By ROBERT BRANSON Chronicle Washington Correspondent ENROUTE WITH JOHNSON With Estes Kefauver outs of the picture, this year's title chamhandshaker is a tossup between Lyndon B. Johnson for the Democrats and Nelson' Rockefeller for the Republicans. Rockefeller's name should be Half-Nelson. His bear hug technique keeps the victim's right hand locked and shoulders firmly encircled.

The man 'has no but to listen until Rockey lets go. Johnson's whistlestop tour through Southern states has shown his own mastery of a handshaking technique he calls fine old ritual of pressing the flesh." The Johnson method is basically (like Rockefeller's, but more involved. The left arm not only encircles the shoulders, but keeps pressing, squeezing and patting. War, Peace Are Top Issues In TV Debate (Continued from Page One) al would damage this country in the eyes of Asia, and said Kennedy's position would encourage the Reds to push to the point "where war is inevitable." That brought a Kennedy charge that Nixon was distorting the record. The din was hardly over before Nixon launched a couple of new barbed shafts at.

his Democratic opponent. The vice president said he was "shocked" that Kennedy had referred to written, material in the third of debates. Nixon Kennedy's Notes Anger Nixon (Continued from Page One) chilled down to 58 degrees because he perspires easily, looked at his big monitor screen. There was Kennedy in New York busily arranging some papers on his lectern. The vice president's heavy eyebrows beetled as he stood before the cameras in his- dark blue suit, pastel shirt and dotted tie.

During the telecast, Nixon patted his made-up face frequently to blot up tiny traces of perspiration, but otherwise he seemed to be a considerably more confident, at-ease debater than he was in his first two encounters. when the principals were on the same stage only a few feet apart. Nixon spoke from a bare lectern with only a folded and his wrist 'watch before him. A reporter wanted to know how he felt about Kennedy using papers during the debate. "I could not have been more shocked when saw he was using notes," Nixon said.

"I think the moderator should have done something about it," he said' in reference to Bill Shadel of ABC, the host network. Shadel later said nothing had been said to him about notes, and Kennedy in New York maintained there was no agreement banning use of the documents to which he referred during the program. Nixon insisted, however, "there was a rule that no notes or no texts were to be used and he violated the rules."

14 1 said there was an agreement neither would resort to memoranda." The Republican nominee also challenged in a statement Kennedy's denial: that he had advocated compulsory arbitration as one of the methods of settling a strike such as the paralyzing, steel walkout that ended uary. Kennedy fired back that he hadn't used any notes. He said he read from a photo copy of letter from President Eisenhower which he contended undermined Nixon's position that the of Quemoy and Matsu off China must be defended from Communist attack as a matter of prin-1 ciple. "If I'm going to quote the President of the United States on a matter involving national security he should be quoted accurate-, ly, Kennedy said. Nixon's' 'post-debate statement on labor disputes followed up Kennedy's TV assertion that "I never suggested that compulsory arbitration was the solution for national emergency disputes." Nixon contended that at Fayette City, on Oct.

9, 1959, Kennedy had urged that the President be given a variety of powers for settling labor disputes and had added: "These measures should include mediation, factfinding, scizure, compulsory arbitration, injunctions with or out retroactive clauses and the right not to interfere at all." Kennedy's press aide, Pierre Salinger, said that a speech draft including the words compulsory arbitration was given out by mistake, that Kennedy "spotted this, and we pulled back all the copies we could get our hands on."

Fairmount News 20th: Anniversary Observed By WSCS FAIRMOUNT The Woman's Society of Christian Service of the First Methodist Church observed its 20th anniversary with tea in the church.

Charles McAlister will show pictures of his recent European I trip. At the same time Johnson maneuvers his face forward in such fashion that noses almost touch, forcing' the captive's head back and back as Johnson greets him.

The Texan seems prepared to split a shoulder blade if necessary to prove his cordiality. When the Johnson whistlestop train went through South Carolina, Democrats bought one hour of television time so that the vice presidential candidate could be seen and heard live from the town of Anderson. But the locals took so much tme making introductory speeches that only eight minutes remained for Johnson. He was cut off the air before he got to the speech. Sen.

Olin "Johnston, the last of the warmup speakers, got so carried away he spoke 20 minutes and forgot about introducing LBJ. He had turned to leave the dais before he remembered. wait," he muttered, going back to the microphone. "Now it's my proud honor to present the great man we all came to From the Carolina hills comes the campaign fable of Ol' Rip, the hunting dog while chasing a squirrel, ran into a sawmill buzzsaw and was sliced from noso to tail. They sewed the two halves together, but by mistake the halves were reversed.

"Ever since that day," the speaker declares solemnly, "'O' Rip has been barking from both ends just like my political opponent." Club car conversation aboard the campaign train turned to crowdsmanship. The experts that the size of a crowd doesn't necessarily tell a candidate's popularity. If Adolf Ilitler had whistlestopped across the United States," one man suggested, "the turnouts would have been enormous." As the train rolled through the night, Lyndon Johnson came into one of the press cars to the fat. Everything stayed goodnatured until a reporter asked Johnson about his present feelings toward. Michigan's Gov.

G. Mennen Williams. Johnson's face froze. "I have nothing whatsoever to say on that subject," he said, each word a chunk of "Do you get me, friend?" Officially Johnson and Williams are supposed to have made up since last summer when the Michigan governor fought to keep Johnson off the Democratic ticket. The frigid anger in Johnson's eyes and voice told a different story.

Two Burn Viciims Treated At Hospital Two persons were taken to Marion General Hospital night for treatment of burns. Neither was admitted.
