What They're Saying 4 United Press WITH KENNEDY IN MICHIGAN Sen. John F. Kennedy hurled charges of "political coverup" Wednes day at administration refusal to make public a secret gov ernment report on U.S. pres tige abroad. In a day of intensive cam paigning through the greater Detroit area, Kennedy con tinued to berate the adminis tration and Vice President Richard M. Nixon for not taking the wraps off a survey which is reported to picture the nation's prestige at an all time low. The Democratic presiden tial nominee said Nixon had "seriously misled the Ameri can people" about the report and the administration had "consistently followed a policy- of., suppressing important public information." Before a crowd estimated at more than 15,000 persons at Mount Clemens, Mich., Ken nedy said "the American people are entitled to the truth the truth with the bark off." Kennedy made no direct reference to Wednesday's White House acknowledge ment that the controversial report existed but that it would not be made public. f(oJ(pM One Of CH's Top Turnouts Is Expected This afternoon has been des ignated Town Turnout Day for backers of the varsity Tar Heels. A mass rally, designed to "show the team that we believe in them and are still behind them," has been scheduled for 4 p.m. on Navy Field. The team will be holding its final practice at that time be fore leaving for Knoxville and its encounter with undefeated Tennessee on Saturday. Sponsored by the Chapel Hill Athletic Club, the gathering is expected to be "one of the lar gest turnouts in Chapel Hill his tory" according to President Ty Boyd. Boyd explained that both stu dents and townspeople have "been going around asking what can we do to help the team," and that the Athletic Club is sponsoring this rally as one means of "giving support to the boys." "I can't think of anything better than thousands of people turning out to "show the team that we are fighting for them," Boyd said. ' Students, faculty, townspeople and all., other interested people have been urged to "drop what they're doing and come out to the rally." Officials of the club will pre sent a proclamation to Coach Jim Hickey and his team re affirming the gathering's "faith in their ability and desire to win," Boyd announced. No other activities have been planned by the group, several band members and cheerleaders are expected to be on hand. The Chapel Hill Athletic Club is a local educational foundation, which sponsors several events throughout the year designed to create better "team-town" re lationships. Boyd explained that the group "attempts to make the team feel at home here." 1J j 5 i f : i . 4 International Kasfi ABOARD NIXON TRAIN IN OHIO Vice President Richard M. Nixon, under pressure from Republican leaders to take off the gloves in his battle with Sen. John F. Kennedy, demanded Wed nesday that his Democratic opponent retract his "dis graceful" charge that Ameri can prestige under GOP rule has declined all over the world. "I say it's wrong and I say he's got to retract it," the Re publican candidate for presi dent told a cheering rain soaked crowd of 20,000 in the square before Dayton's Mont gomery County courthouse. On a second day's whistle stop train trip through Ohio, Nixon assailed Kennedy on every front from farm to for eign policy but saved his hot test fire for the issue Kennedy himself was raising in a cam paign swing across Michigan. Kennedy said a survey abroad by the Eisenhower ad ministration proved his charge of lowered prestige, and said it was being withheld from the public as a "political coverup" to help Nixon. Ken nedy called this "far more dangerous" than other cases of suppressed truth in the GOP sdrninistration. W 1 f
