Republican Chief Hits Demo Ticket For Split Views
By BARBARA EPSTEIN Daily Trojan Feature Editor
Oregon's Republican Governor Mark O. Hatfield lashed out here yesterday at Democratic Vice Presidential nominee Lyndon Johnson, accusing the Texan of switching his political garb to sweep up both the Southern and Northern vote.
Speaking before a full house in Founders Hall, Hatfield, youngest Republican governor in the country, also leveled charges of split speech-making against both Johnson and Democratic presidential nominee John Kennedy.
Johnson. Hatfield claimed, was “parading himself as a Westerner’’ both before and during the July Democratic convention.
“Yet after the convention,” the governor declared, “there was an attempt at recouping the Southern vote.”
Hatfield, who placed Richard Nixon's name in nomination at the Republican convention, asserted that Johnson did not have a liberal voting record in civil rights legislation, covering sucn things as anti-pole tax and anti-lynch law proposals.
Know Qualifications
“We have to consider the qualifications of the Vice President as well as the President in this election,” he said.
The former dean of students of Willamette University, Ore., also accused the Democrats of presenting two faces to the voters in the area of civil rights.
“In the speeches of both Kennedy and Johnson there seems to be a difference on civil rights north of the Mason-Dixon line and south of the Mason-Dixon line,” he said.
The Republicans, Hatfield added, are presenting a “strong, united front” on behalf of civil rights.
“The voting record of Nixon and Lodge,” he said, “attests to that.”
Foreign Policy
On another front, Hatfield gave a plug for the foreign policy plank of the GOP platform, also tagging foreign affairs as “probably the most important issue of the campaign.”
At the heart of American policy, he said, should be economic aid programs to remove the “fester spots” of the world.
“If we depend merely upon guns for our future and our security we have placed our hopes on a very weak basis.” he stated.
The personable young governor admitted that there had been “some problems” in previous foreign aid programs but questioned whether “we need throw it all out the window.”
Aid programs. Hatfield said, should be “geared to the productive elements” of foreign economics, such as industry, highways, hospitals and schools.
Shift Emphasis
United States aid program will probably continue for many years to come but emphasis will undoubtedly shift from one world area to another as economic progress is made, he said.
In the realm of federal aid to education, the Oregonian voiced support of the Nixon-Lodge stand. He said he would be “cautious” of federal educational aid programs because they might infringe upon “academic freedom.”
“However we can yield very easily to federal aid without losing our freedom in the the field of school construction,” the governor added.
The 38-year-old governor holds a BA. from Willamette University where he was associate professor of political science and an M..* ircm Stanford University. He served as a senator in the Oregon legislature and as secretary of state for Oregon. He was elected governor of the northern state in 1958.
Cantelon To Be Installed As New Chaplain Sunday
Dr. John E. Cantelon. USCs new chaplain, will be formally installed in a special inauguration service Sunday at 11 a.m. in Bovard Auditorium.
The second person ever to hold the title of chaplain at USC, Dr. Cantelon came to the university last July from the post of associate secretary of the department of campus Chis-tian life for the Presbyterian Board of Education in Philadelphia.
Dr. Cantelon will speak on “The Role of the University Chaplain.” »Sunday.
“Undoubtedly there is a cer-i tain public relations advantage
' which the chaplaincy represent* in the minds of trustees and of-I ficials in some colleges, but this | conception is hardly sufficient ! justification for the financial and vocational outlay involved," he says.
After considering the chaplaincy from both angles — as observer and chaplain — Dr.
1 Cantelon feels that “unless tha university chaplain is related in some significant way to the academic enterprises, which is the ‘raison d'etre’ of the university, his work is of questionable or marginal value.”

ANOTHER EDISON?
What Can I Discover?' Asks 11-Year-Old Boy
In his brave, new world. 11-year-old Craig Lesser of Beverly Hills wants to “discover somethings.”
Already he has an idea to st<">p a tornado. But his science teacher “doesn't think” it will work.
Craig is the son of the Louis Lessers of 619 Trenton Drive in Beverly' Hills and an El Rodeo elementary school student with something more than an elementary interest in science and the “somethings” which haven’t been discovered yet.
In a boyish scrawl with lines that ran downhill on the page. Craig posed his problems in a letter to Dr. Frank C. Baxter, USCs English professor who has
1 been the star of eight Bell System Science Series programs on television.
Here is his letter, misspellings and all: j “Dear Mr. Baxte-.
“My mm? is Craig Lesser. I am eleven & half years old. I im very interested in science. I want to discover something or make somthings. I know you will think I am to young to discover anything, and you think I should , ! learn more about science. But I ; know a little about science and I want to discover something.
“I got an idea about somthing to stop a tornado, so I talked to a science teacher, but he did , I not think it would work. This is j
a example of what I am trying to discover.
