He accused the Republicans of "economic The Democratic vice president, in a campaign speech prepared for the Portland City Club, said that "when Americans vote on prosperity am In confident they will give us a clear call for more of it." Saying that there were three recessions during the eight years when Nixon was Dwight D. Eisenhawer's vice president, Humphrey spoke of "the dismal, disheartening years of Republican economic mismanagement in the 1950s." "Now some say the Republicans may, learn from their past mistakes," he added. "There is not a shred of evidence either from the 1950g or the Republican voting record right up to date that they have learned anything." Humphrey said Nixon's economic advisers sounded like the kind of men who would mount a "back to McKinley campaign." Lesser UN Nations Back Big 4 Talks UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP) Support grew among lesser members of the United Nations today for a Big Four summit meeting proposed by Secretary-General Thant in an effort to reduce East-West tensions and lessen the threat of nuclear war. But there was no immediate reaction from the Big Four-the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and France--to Thant's suggestion that their foreign ministers meet during the current U.N.

General Assembly to pave the way for the top-level talks, Thant in his annual report of the assembly Thursday night accused both the United States and the Soviet Union of resorting to strong-arm methods when they felt their security threatened. Many of the smaller U.N. member countries agreed with these words by "In' reality, the two super powers hold the maser key peace in the world.

Many of the smaller U.N. member countries agreed with these words by Thant; "In reality, the two super powers hold the maser key peace in the world. Little wars, wars by little states, can contained so long as the Powers do not pose a threat the big, the nuclear, the ultimate war. "In the final analysis, there can be no solid foundation for peace in the world so long the super powers insist on taking unilateral military action whenever they claim to see threat to their security." Thant said the presence U.S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk, Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A.

All are expected within days, The secretary-general offered to draw up a provisional agenda for the ministers and added: "Hopefully, a meeting of ministers could lead to meeting of the heads of state and governments of the four major powers. I feel that some such initiative is needed at the present time to counteract the serious setback to the detente East-West relations that has sulted from recent events. "I believe that some such special effort may also prove useful in identifying some major issues with regard to which, present adverse circumstances, big power agreement may possible." Thant strongly criticized the Soviet occupation of Czechoslo-zens vakia and the U.S. intervention in the Dominican Republic.

He said while there is widespread disappointment at the lack of progress in the Paris peace talks, it is encouraging that they were continuing. Romance Link Denied married and the mother of a son. She said Wallace aides probably fear "the matter will hurt his vote-getting." Smith declared: "All we knew was that she popped up two or three times on the campaign trail, and now she's saying all these things. The governor knows nothing about her." When the campaign party arrived in Daytona Beach, last Friday, Ja-Neen alighted from the Wallace airplane clad in a spectacular white minidress, cowboy hat and calflength boots. She rode in the official motorcade to a political rally in Orlando.

The reporter also said he notled Ja-Neen holding the hand of the candidate's 7-year-old daughter Lee, as they rode down an elevator in the banquet hall. Miss Welch showed the reporter a photograph of Wallace standing with his arm around her shoulder in front of his campaign headquarters in Montgomery.

The spokesman said Thursday that the former Alabama governor's knowledge of the girl, JaNeen Welch, had been limited to "seeing her a couple of times on an airplane" and added she had been dismissed from the tour. Miss Welch, remembered for her delivery of the line, "The Dodge Rebellion wants in series of television commercials, prompted the denial when she told an interviewer, "I wouldn't object to being the next Mrs. Wallace." Richard Smith, campaign treasurer for Wallace, said Ja-1 Neen had made campaign trips!" as a Wallace Girl Volunteer but would no longer be part of the can bet on that." In Indianapolis, where she runs an advertising and publicity agency, Miss Welch said Smith's statement "does not change my feelings toward the governor.

I'm still very much love with him." who says she was born in Columbus, Ohio, and that "people usually use 26 as my age," said she met in Chicago three months ago and plans to see him again next week in Montgomery or Indianapolis. Wallace's wife, Lurleen, died of cancer last May 7 after she had succeeded him as governor. Of their Chicago meeting, Miss Welch recalled, "I have extrasensory perception and predicted that he would elected president and that would be there when he took the oath of office. "I wouldn't mind being Mrs. George C.

(AP Wirephoto) Portugal's Premier Takes Over LISBON (AP) Portugal's new premier made few changes in Antonio Salazar's government today, and the politically apathetic Portuguese showed no initial excitement at the replacement of the dictator who had ruled them for of 40 years, After a week a anticipation, President Americo Thomaz announced Thursday night he had appointed Marcello Caetano, 62-year-old law professor and longtime associated of Salazar, to replace the prime minister who has been in a coma since a stroke on Sept. 16. Caetano already had given Thomaz the go-ahead to reappoint all of Salazar's Cabinet except four ministers and two undersecretaries.

The few changes gave observers no clue to any changes in policy the new prime minister might have in mind. In the memory of most Portuguese, Salazar has always kept a tight rein on politics, and a 50-year-old civil servant seemed to sum up the attitude of many: "If President Thomaz decided this way, it is because it was the only way to decide. I accept it I hope it turns out for the best." A 45-year-old factory worker expressed another widespread reaction: "If Caetano means more money, more bread, less work and less sacri fice, okay, I welcome him." A 19-year-old Lisbon University opposed to the Salazar regime, said: "They changed the name but the forces running the country are the same. For me Caetano was simply the lesser of about five Patrons in cafes crowded around television sets when Thomaz made his ment, but there was no excitement. Lisbon's movie houses, amusement parks, nightclubs and the streets were crowded as usual and apparently few if any people stayed home to hear the president.

Caetano is widely known, havling been Salazar's right-hand man in the 1950s and later the strong-willed rector of Lisbon, University.

Nixon is trying to convince so Southern voters they should "not go off on a third party kick" in support of a man he said can't be elected, president, George C. Wallace. In Louisville, Thursday night, Nixon broke his self-imposed ruled against even mentioning Wallace's name and was against expected the to threat step up that the presi- his drive dential choice will be thrown into the House.

If the voters want a change, Nixon said in a statement, then he is a candidate who will give it to him. He said that from the standpoint of being elected, the former Alabama governor's candidacy is "not serious at all." "He has no chance at all," Nixon said. "The question is whether or not he will get enough votes in the electoral college to deny a majority to me or to Mr. Humphrey." Nixon said he thinks the voters should choose between him and Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey, the Democratic nominee.

He added, "I just don't think this nation at this time in its history, when we need so many changes in our foreign policy and our domestic policy should run the risk of a constitutional crisis of a House of Representaselecting the president of the United States." Nixon said that Humphrey "seems to be leaving the South Coed Tells Jury Of Terror MERCER, Pa.

The coed, one of the abducted girls, testified Thursday in Mercer County court that Gary Batley, 19, of Mercer, told the girls to run away the strip mine where police later found the body of Kenneth M. Frick, 23, of Ford City. Batley told the the coeds fields to to "run his a away over home" and he would try to help the other boy, who was in the trunk of the car, said the girl.

The two couples were abducted at gunpoint from a restaurant parking lot near the college March 29. The coed said she heard the other men tell Batley he was "too chicken to do it." Batley and three other Mercer men, Kenneth Perrine, 23, Arthur McConnell, 49, and Don-! ald Hosack, 25, pleaded guilty to charges of rape and murder and are being tried before a (panel of three judges. FRANK CROTTY, 58, of Jo- when the Democratic contender should be campaignling in the area. It is vitally important, Nixon said, "that we have a two-party system in the South and it's vitally important that the whole South not go off on athird party kick and not affect the future in the decision made this year. "I personally think," he continued, "that when you look at the South from the voters standpoint in this part of the country.

a vote for Wallace is actually a vote for Humphrey, because one thing is for sure, Humphrey cannot win these states. I can." Nixon said that he is campaigning hard in states like Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia and others to be sure that he has a majority of those states' electoral votes and that for 'a lack of them the election is not put into the House. Sen. Thruston B. Morton of Kentucky who joined the threejet Nixon campaign entourage in Lousville, gave the GOP nominee a gloomy picture of the inroads Wallace is making into Republicans' strength in the Border States.

He noted that Sen. Howard Baker of Tennessee, expected to join the Nixon tour, had said that Tennessee is up for grabs, with the race between Nixon and Wallace. Morton said in an interview that Wallace votes in the border areas are coming out of Nixon's political hide. Nixon homself does not dispute this. Appointments At McCrearys headquarters in Indiana.
