Galbraith, Fuller State Reasons to Support Kennedy or Nixon

Two professors from the University listed reasons for supporting their candidates in the New York Herald Tribune's Sunday Forum yesterday. John Kenneth Galbraith, Paul M. Warburg Professor of Economics and economics adviser in Kennedy's campaign, stated his case for Kennedy opposite the remarks of Lon L. Fuller, Carter Professor of General Jurisprudence and Nixon's labor adviser.

Galbraith Speaks for Kennedy

"Our great choice," Galbraith said, "is between... two estimates of our position in the world. On the one side (Nixon's) is the view that we have arrived at an essentially satisfactory point in our development."

"The alternative and contrasting view," he declared, "is that neither at home nor abroad can we manifest such contentment." Galbraith predicted that "the less comfortable, the more concerned and I think the more prudent and farseeing, will vote for Mr. Kennedy. They will feel that, in failing to make change our servant, we shall have it for a master."

Fuller, one of Nixon's former college teachers, urged that Nixon as a man is more worthy of our votes. "He has a wholesome dread of becoming a prisoner of a single point of view," Fuller declared. "The fundamental bent of his mind is liberal in the best sense, by which I mean that he is interested . . . in the how, an aspect of reform usually lost from sight in political argument."
