Nixon Faces Shifting Southern Campaign Risks
Washington AP political writer Jack Bell reports Democratic claims of a Southern resurgence threaten Nixon's strategy to win with a base in the South and border states plus Midwestern farms. AP survey shows Kentucky and Louisiana moving toward Kennedy while Florida, South Carolina, and Virginia stay strong for Nixon, with several Southern states still uncertain.

Garland Challenges Oliver Stand On Foreign Policy
Republican Peter M. Garland challenged Rep. James C. Oliver of Maine’s first district to specify changes in Eisenhower era foreign policy.
