Brown sought to implement the first part of his

From the campaign's outset Brown has been fighting an uphill battle. If at any time during the campaign Brown thought he could defeat Cooper, it appears
now that all hope is gone.
Brown apparently has been following two basic
strategy lines. Whether or not he was able to effectively carry out his plans will in part decide the outcome

President Johnson, 'Back Home,'
Talks Of Education Programs
From Combined Dlipatehea
ent
COTULLA,
Johnson today stood on the steps
of the small
school where he taught 38 years
ago and pointed with pride to
one result of the Administration's
education program.
The remarks, delivered on the
day before the election, were
laced with reminiscense.
Johnson called "the skill and
wisdom of our people" the nation's greatest natural resource.
"That is why last year your
national government pledged
billions of new dollars to help
improve your schools and schools
all over America," he said.
When Johnson taught in
Cotulla he was a student himself, earning money to complete
his college education.

"In those days," he said,
"neither American nor her
schools shared any abundance.
We had only five teachers. We
had no lunch facilities. No school
buses. Very little money for ed-

community."
He said he worked as a
teacher, principal, playground

spare time "assistant janitor."

This story, he said, "is being

The President also took the
opportunity to urge young people
to stay in school and "work to
the limit of your ability and
ambition."
School dropouts, he said, are

Moloney's Death
Causes Confusion
In Fourth District
By JOHN ZEII
Kernel Associate Editor
Fourth District Democratic
leaders had little trouble finding
a substitute for their Congressional nominee who died Sunday,
but procedural problems that
could affect the election's outcome remain unsolved.
The death of John Moloney
threw the race into turmoil, sending officials td the lawbooks to
determine how the replacement's
name could be placed on the
ballot before the polls open at
6 a.m. Tuesday. First, though,
party leaders were thrown into
the urgent situation of finding
the replacement.
Rep. Frank Chelf of Lebanon agreed Sunday to postpone
his retirement plans to, in his
words, "take up the torch . . .
and to represent for two terms
more God and the people willing the citizens of the Fourth
District."

McNamara Sees Lower Draft Calls
From Combined Dispatches

JOHNSON CITY,
Secretary Robert J. McNamara told President Johnson this weekend that barring the unforeseen the United States will slow its troop
buildup, curtail bomb production at home and
undertake no sharp increases in air raids on
Communist North Vietnam.
McNamara said that fewer Americans will
be sent to fight in Vietnam next year, and
draft calls may be cut in half.
Cautioning that "we continue to fight a
stubborn enemy," he indicated that another
40,000 Americans will be sent to Vietnam
before the end of the year.
(Former Vice President Richard Nixon,
appearing on ABC's "Issues and Answers"
Sunday, said that Secretary McNamara had
stooped to "political fakery" with his preelection announcement of a slowdown in the
flow of troops to Vietnam. Nixon said that
McNamara had demeaned his office by acting as "Lyndon Johnson's Charlie McCarthy,
his political stooge.")

"Kentucky has lost one of its

Snyder said he would suspend further campaigning, calling Moloney's death "a tragic

In recent weeks, the tempo
of Moloney's campaign had

and appearance. A quick, reserved man, Moloney had a knack

* "Wc Haven't Cot One Yet"

Legal Age Confusion
When does a person legally become an adult in the United States?
It is unfortunate that this question
has no definite answer.
For example, in Kentucky, a
male may be married at 18 years
of age and a female at 16 (earlier
marriages are permitted where a
pregnancy is involved), but not
legally purchase or consume alcoholic beverages until 21. A male
may be drafted to fight in a war
at 17.
Cross the Ohio River, and you'll
find an entirely different set of
legal age limits in Ohio and

Indiana.
Although the suggestion for a
national legal age will likely bring
an immediate outcry, we feel it is
time for the federal government to
step in and draw some consistent
guidelines for a minimum legal
An action has been taken by
the federal government regarding
a less significant issue centering
around time zones and the use of
daylight saving time. Why, then,
can't a guideline be drawn for the
legal age issue?
Many inconsistencies are evident. For example, Kentucky's educational level ranks low among
the nation's states, yet citizens of
the Commonwealth are allowed to
vote at 18. On the other hand, we
have states with high educational
levels not allowing their citizens
to vote until 21.
Then there is the old question
about how fair it is to refuse to
sell an
youth a beer,
tell him at the same time he
yet
is old enough to die on a battlefield.
The Commonwealth should be
commended for devising the
minimum voting age. We
feel that other states should follow.
As youth becomes better informed
through advanced education and

plentiful media it becomes considerably more eligible to make a
sound decision at the voting place.
In fact, it is our contention that
18 should become the national legal
age. This pertains not only to voting
but to the consumption of alcoholic
beverages and the acception of
certain legal responsibilities as

well.

The

the legal consumption of spirits
has never been very realistic. It
is common knowledge that college
youth has available all the liquor
it desires. If a law isn't enforced,
it shouldn't be on the books.
Our American society has never
had a clear distinction between
adolescence and adulthood, but
for legal purposes this should be
defined on a national basis.
There will be some under 21,
just as there are now those over
21, who would abuse their new
privileges and would refuse to
accept their responsibilities. But
