Local Issues Tops In 1962 Campaign

By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI» — As usual in off-year elections, the 1962 political campaign has been waged primarily on local rather than national issues. Campaign-end reports from UPI election bureaus in all sections of the country reveal that the Cuban situation is the only national issue which has figured prominently in political debate. And no one is sure how it will cut. Democratic candidates, who were on the defensive about Cuba prior to President Kennedy’s imposition of a naval blockade, now are hopeful of sharing the

widespread popular acclaim which has greeted the President’s handling oWthe crisis. Republican candidates are reminding the voters that they were calling for a firm line with Cuba long ago. They are saying, that Kennedy’s “belated” action showed they were right. It is an axiom of American politics that a national crisis which arises during an election campaign tends to favor the party in power. Since this crisis arose around an issue on which substantial numbers of voters were already dissatisfied with administration policy, however, the axiom may not hold true. Cancel Out Other Some political observers feel the pros and cons of the Cuban crisis may cancel each other out, leaving the issue with little net effect on the outcome of the elections.. The UPI survey indicates that national domestic issues have aroused only spotty interest in the campaign. The Democrats had hoped to make a major issue out of President Kennedy’s “medicare” plan to provide health insurance for the aged through Social Security, which was defeated in the Senate this year by a two-vote margin. Some Democratic candidates, like Sen. Joseph S. Clark of Pennsylvania, have cited medicare as one of the reasons why voters should send more Democrats to Congress to support the administration’s legislative program. there seem to have been as many Republican candidates running against medicare that the issue has caught fire with the voters. Typical of the reports was

that of UPI Ohio Manager Haskell Short: “Medicare has perhaps been an issue in some congressional districts, but not much.” Education Major Issue The condition of the nation’s schools, and the need for more money to improve education at all levels, has been a major issue in many states, including Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Colorado Virginia, and Connecticut. But the issue of federal aid has been coupled in many instances with heated debate over state and local school financing programs. Other domestic issues which have cropped up here and there include farm policy i prominent in Kansas and other wheat-grow-ing states of the Midwest); conservation (very big in Utah and other Western states); the administration’s handling of the University of Mississippi integration difficulties (much discussed in the South l ; and federal spendng (an issue in numerous congressional races which pit a forthright conservative against a New Frontiersman.) For the most part, however, the reports from election bureaus reiterate the theme that state and local issues have been paramount in the campaign. And in a substantial number of races, political reporters have been unable to find any viable issue except the personalities of the candidates.. $360 In Cash Is Stolen From Home A house burglary at the home of Al Bentz, 1919 Winchester St., over the weekend, netted thieves a total of $360 in cash. Bentz reported the theft at 4:42 a.m. Sunday, when he returned home from work. Entrance was gained through the front door by using a tire tool or a crow bar. The lock was broken off the door, as was the door casing. Bentz had left his home about 9 p.m. Saturday. A total of $l6O in small change was taken, along with S2OO in silver dollars. Nothing else was disturbed. The city police are continuing an investigation into the burglary. New York Stock Exchange Prices MIDDAY PRICES A.

Billy Graham Gives Warning On Russia EL PASO. Tex. (UPI) — The Soviet Union, despite promises to tear down missile bases in Cuba, can find plenty of other ways to attack the United States, evangelist Billy Graham warned Sunday. “These Russian promises are no guarantee the world will not be blown up,” Graham told 15,000 persons , who attended the first sermon in his week-long crusade for Christ. Hundreds of those who listened to Graham heard the sermon on earphones in Spanish. They were part of the huge Latin-American population of the El Paso area, and Juarez, Mexico, across the border. They sat in a special section for Spanish-speaking people. “If ever there was a time to turn to God and humble ourselves,” Graham said, “it is now.” Graham who usually warms up his audiences with a few humorous remarks, apologized. “In light of the gravity of the world situation,’’ he said, “somehow, I don’t feel humorous today.” “Our military leaders—l talked to some as I arrived in Florida on returning from a crusade in Buenos Aires—know they are still under the Communist guns,” he said. “They know that the Communists can find plenty of other ways to attack us. “The same crowd — the same Ambassador (Andrei) Gromyko who lied to the President about the missiles — can build bases underground and I doubt if the Red Cross would know the difference.” The Red Cross International Council has been proposed as the agency to inspect Cuba for missile sites. Admits To Shooting Down American Plane HAVANA (UPI) — The Havana newspaper Revolucion said today that Cuban anti-tircraft batteries shot down U. S. Air Force MajRudolph Anderson Jr. “while spying over Cuba” in a U 2 plane. It was the first Cuban admission that Anderson’s plane was actually shot down by Cuban weapons. The statement was accompanied by eight photos of the wreckage of the plane, taken “somewhere in the western part of Cuba.”

THE HEAVILY DAMAGED front of the 1963 Cadillac in which Richard W. Miller was killed early this morning, is shown in the above photo. Miller's auto struck a light pole on the west side of Mercer Ave., and the local man died at the scene of the mishap of a crushed chest.

Kennedy To Vote In Massachusetts WASHINGTON (UPI) - President Kennedy returned today from a relaxed Sunday in the country to meet with his top Cuban strategists before leaving for Massachusetts to vote in Tuesday's election. Kennedy returned from Middleburg; Va., by helicopter at 9:20 a.m. despite the fact that wet snow was falling in the area. His first White House apjtointment was a meeting with the executive committee of the National Security Council. In the afternoon, the chief executive was scheduled to fly to Massachusetts where he will visit his father, Joseph P. Kennedy, then cast his ballot Tuesday. The President drove to Glen Ora, his rented estate near Middleburg, Saturday night to join his wife and two children who had been there since Thursday. Kennedy arranged to leave the White House in the early afternoon to fly to Hyannis Port, Mass., for a visit with his father, who suffered a stroke nearly a year ago. From Hyannis Port, the President was expected to fly by helicopter to Boston, arriving at 6:15 p.m. to spend the night in his apartment there. He planned to vote early Tuesday morning in the election, in which his younger brother, Edward M., is running for the Senate, and then return immediately to Washington.

'Brains'Of Vicious i i Gang Is Captured BUFFALO, N.Y. (UPD—Albert . F. Nussbaum, the “brains” of a vicious bank robbery gang, was i armed with a loaded rifle and two live hand grenades when the FBI closed in on him. But instead of shooting it out, Nussbaum decided on suicide and gulped a lethal dose of drugs. A stomach pump quickly nullified his attempt to take his own life. Nussbaum, 28, one of the FBl’s “10 most wanted” men, was cornered Sunday by the federal agents after a high-speed chase through Buffalo’s streets. The expert gunsmith whose mail-order munitions business led to bank robberies carried off like military maneuvers, was to be arraigned today on charges involving four bank robberies in Buffalo, Brooklyn and Washington, D.C., that netted $160,000. In the Brooklyn holdup a bank guard was machinegunned to death. The search for Nussbaum began in Brooklyn last December shortly after the $34,000 holdup of Brooklyn’s Lafayette National Bank in which guard Henry Kraus, 52, was killed. It ended in his home town 11 months later when FBI agents spotted him and reportedly set a trap using Nussbaum’s wife, Alice, 25, as a decoy. Mrs. Nussbaum feared her husband might go off on a new job with his pal, one-eyed Randell Wilcoxson, 33, Delray Beach, Fla. An authoritative source told the Buffalo Courier - Express that Nussbaum’s mother-in-law, Mrs. Sylvester Majchorowicz, was the person who notified FBI agents that the fugitive was in the Buffalo area. Wilcoxson, the alleged machinegun killer of Kraus, is wanted by the FBI along with his girlfriend, Jacqueline Rose, 18. Mrs. Nussbaum said Wilcoxson is “evil and it’s dangerous to be with him.” Nussbaum was described by the FBI as the “highly intelligent” brains of a "vicious gang” of bank robbers. at 8 p.m. Wednesday at the V.F.W. Hall. All members are urged to attend the meeting.
