Debate Chances Slim (Continued from page one) quired my presence in Wash ington except for very limited visits to North Carolina on weekends. Under these cir cumstances, of which you are well aware, your intemperate remarks about my ‘ducking’ an opportunity for a joint ap pearance seem to confirm a greater interest on your part in personal invective than in campaign issues. “There have been oppor tunities for legitimate dis cussions of the issues. I cite, for example, your declining to respond to the series of seven questions on national issues submitted to both of us by the ‘Concord Tribune’. These questions sought your views on the anti-poverty pro gram, our policy in Vietnam, Federal aid to elementary and secondary schools, firearms control legislation, legislation to deal with strikes that threaten the national interest, a Constitutional amendment increasing the terms of Con gressmen to four years. The inquiry also invited your views about what you might con sider the primary issues in the campaign. These are legiti mate issues, your answers to which would have been of in terest to the electorate. Ac cording to published reports, however, you did not have time to respond. “It is doubtful that a joint meeting would produce any greater enlightenment upon the issues than your campaign has shed up to now. "For the foregoing reasons, I shall pursue my campaign for re-election and assume that you will continue the level and standard you have already established in your public utterances.” Blowing Rock Theatre Plans 3rd Production Readings for “Absolutely Murder", the proposed third production of the Blowing Rock Community Theatre, will be held Friday, Oct. 28, in the Blowing Rock Town Hall.
