Kennedy Declares Nixon Fears The Future In U.S.

By ALVIN SPIVAK

CHICAGO - (UPI) - Sen. John F. Kennedy described Vice President Richard M. Nixon Friday night as a man with "a fear of the future."

The Democratic presidential candidate said in a speech prepared for delivery at a political rally in the Chicago Stadium that he did not share such fears because he has confidence in the American people.

In the speech, scheduled to be televised nationally on the NBC network at 9:30 p. m. EST, Kennedy set forth an explanation of what he had been trying to do and to say during the campaign for the White House.

His appearance at the stadium climaxed a day which he began in Norfolk and Roanoke appealing (Continued On Page 4, Col. 6)

telling plan voters to swing their state back to the Democratic column after having given it to President Eisenhower in 1952 and 1956

Between the Virginia and Chicago trips, Kennedy appeared at a rally in Toledo, Ohio where he made the final effort to win Ohio's 25 electoral votes.

A torch light parade along heavily populated South Michigan Avenue and Madison Street preceded Kennedy's stadium speech

This parade came after a big dinner in Kennedy's honor which was hosted by Chicago's Mayor Richard J. Daley.

HITS NIXON METHODS

In Friday night's text, Kennedy's declaration of confidence in the American people was the sixth and final point in his recitation of what he had hoped to achieve in the campaign

In a renewed dig at Nixon's campaigning methods, including the GOP nominee's campaign use of President Eisenhower, Kennedy said he was confident of the American public's "ability to listen to facts, not name calling - to judge the candidates on their own views, not someone else's coattails."

He said this confidence extended also to the ability of Americans "to remember the records of the two parties and not to ignore party labels - to hear what the candidates say in all sections, and not be deceived by what is said in one section alone

In telling how he felt he had tried to take his case to the people, in a manner worthy of "their confidence and of the high office he was seeking, Kennedy got in a series of implied jabs at Nixon.

"First I have tried in this campaign to tell the truth to the American people, whether the truth was pleasant or not," he said.
