Dole defends World War labels amid Watergate clash
Sen. Robert Dole, campaigning in Rhode Island, says calling World Wars Democratic wars was to mirror Democratic Watergate rhetoric. He argues Ford and Carter rival Mondale have faltered as he and Ford narrow the presidential race gap. He recalls wartime service and says the remark aimed to challenge Democratic references to Republicans. A separate scene shows white students marching in South Boston with police arresting over 12 protesters.
