WASHINGTON, (AP)The fourth television debate between the presidential candidates Friday night probably will be the last of the campaign.
Vice President Nixon, the Republican candidate, Monday turned down a proposal by his opponent, Sen. John Kennedy, for a fifth debate. He blamed scheduling difficulties.
Although Kennedy asked Nixon to reconsider, there seemed little chance their representatives would agree on anything beyond the fourth joint appearance.
Instead, Nixon suggested changing the format of the fourth debate. First, he proposed extending it from one hour to two hours and, second, he suggested the candidates respond to questions from the public as well as questions from newsmen. But Kennedy rejected the whole idea.
