Kennedy said at the Lawrence Park shopping center, in Republican-dominated Delaware County: "No matter how many speeches Mr. Nixon may make about how high our prestige is today, the fact of the matter is that the State Department's own survey taken this summer shows such a loss in our influence throughout the world that this administration has been unwilling to release it. New York Times carried one this morning which shows that only 7 per cent of the people of England and France thought we were now ahead of the Soviet Union in At historic Valley Forge, Kennedy chose to review the entire theme of his new frontiers campaign in a speech prepared for delivery there. "Here.

on a cold and bitter frontier, states were and ought to be inmen who believed that these to the dependent, cause of Kendedicated their lives nedy said. have said in this campaign that we stand today on a new frontier--a frontier that will demand of us all, in each individual home, as well as the White House, those same qualities of courage and conviction." Kennedy listed his new frontiers as population, increased length of life, education, suburban problems, and space, automation, and the related increase in leisure time. "The new frontier of which I speak is not too hard for usneither is it far off." Kennedy said. "No one need bring it to usit is here, both its dangers and its opportunities and we must meet its challenges here, in our hearts." In another aspect of his campaign, Kennedy lashed at Nixon for the collapse of efforts to set up a fifth national television debate. Placing the blame squarely on Nixon, Kennedy said he found it difficult to believe that the candidate, who talked about having stood up to Soviet Premier Khrushchev was unwilling to debate before the American people.

Near bedlam broke out in a beauty parlor on 14th Street as the governor showed up unexpectedly and began shaking hands with the fair sex undergoing beauty treatments.

In Memoriams LEFFELL-In sad but loving memory of our father and grandfather, Orbia E. (Moley) Leffell, on this, his birthday. Happy birthday, daddy, And today you are 59, You have been missed so much Since God called you home, And I know on earth you will no more roam.

Inauguration Of Lincoln To Be Re-enacted WASHINGTON (AP)-The 1860 inauguration of President Abraham Lincoln will be re-enacted here next March 4, and the fuss and feathers probably will outdo the original ceremonies of 100 years ago. It will be part of the Civil War Centennial observance and will open with a parade along Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House to the Capitol.

Raymond Massey, an actor who frequently has portrayed Lincoln, will play the part of the Civil War president again and will deliver Lincoln's Inaugural Address at noon before a joint session of the Senate and House. An inaugural ball marked by Civil War dress and music will complete the day's program. The event is being staged by the District of Columbia Civil War Centennial Commission in cooperation with the National Commission. ELYRIA, Ohio (AP)-Walter P. Reuther, president of the United Auto Workers, said in a speech the United States is threatened with another recession -heralded by a falloff in automobile sales.

He asserted the auto industry is trying to sustain production for political purposes until the Nov. 8 election. In a speech marking the dedication of a $130,000 headquarters here. Reuther quoted Ward's Report, an auto industry trade publication, as predicting an unsold backlog of a million new cars by mid-November. "Exact inventory will be 70 per cent bigger than we have ever had before in the history of the industry," Reuther said.

He added that new car inventories million bracket had been recorded before, "but never this early in the model." "Having had two recessions, we're headed for another," he said. Reuther urged the crowd of several hundred to support Sen.

(AP) Furious flash floods spawned by a series of cloudbursts in central Texas washed automobiles from roads Friday night and drowned at least eight persons. One other person is missing and feared dead. State police searched stream beds where receding waters reabandoned automobiles evidently swept from roads during a massive all-night rainfall. Rains up to 10 inches battered the state capital area, apparently in the center of a storm formation that extended 50 miles north and east. 75 miles west and 100 miles south.

The Weather Bureau reported total damage in Austin at $2.5 million. More than 300 automobiles suffered damage. 3,500 trunk line telephones were out of service, including all those to the city airport. Vice presidential candidate Lyndon B. Johnson watched the normally-placid Pedernales River roar by his ranch on a 25-foot rise.

The ranch, 65 miles west of Austin, is isolated from the highway, but Johnson flew out for campaign speeches. Hundreds of families were driven from their homes after midnight here when creeks sent four to six feet of water into houses and business establishments in low sections. At Bastrop, 30 miles southeast of Austin, high water routed a dozen families from their homes. Man Sought in Death Of Brewer Is Caught VANCOUVER, B.C. -The nine-month flight of Joseph Corbett 32, charged with the murder of millionaire Colorado brewer Adolph Coors III, ended here Saturday in a shabby hotel Vancouver, listed police Corbett and the as FBI, one of its 10 most wanted men, arrested the fugitive without a struggle.

Corbett had a pistol in his bed but never a chance to use it. A flashy rented red automobile and a young constable's keen memory brought about the quiet, brainy Corbett's capture. FBI agents told Vancouver police Saturday morning they believed that Corbett, an escaped slayer, was in the area and driving a fire-engine red hardtop with Manitoba license plates. Constable Jack Marshall remembered seeing such a car in front of a West End hotel, found it was still there, showed the landlady a picture of Corbett, and learned he was in an upstairs room. Marshall called police headquarters, and six cars of officers and FBI agents converged on the hotel.

The raiding party got Corbett to open the door on a ruse. A small arsenal of guns was pointed at him, and he meekly surrendered. How long Corbett had been in this British Columbia metropolis was not known immediately. His rented car contained an Oct. 6 registration slip from a U-drive.

company in Winnipeg. Before that he had been in Toronto. A police spokesman said Corbett had admitted under questioning was the man sought in the kidnap slaying of Coors, 44, an industrialist and brewery head in Golden, Colo. Coors disappeared after leaving for work Feb. 9 from his home in the Rocky Mountain foothills.

His remains were not found until Sept. 11 about 60 miles away.
