Evening Journal, Wilmington, Del. Saturday, Oct. 28, 1972 Trying to Speed Things Up in Homestretch Biden Switches to 'Bear Old Bad' Line FOR SUNDAY, MONDAY AND TUESDAY tee. All three have personally attacked Biden. Colgate has said they are acting without Boggs' permission.

"Mike Poppiti (Democratic state chairman) and Leo Marshall (Wilmington Democratic chief) and the rest could never say that stuff without me putting an end to it," said Biden. "If they did, I'd be out saying, 'It ain't (Thomas Little, (Richard) Colgate and (Vincent Thei-s are really doing and saying all those things without his knowledge," he said.

The rhythm of Joseph R.

Biden campaign for election to the U.S. Senate has changed. After keeping the pace even for three quarters of the race, Biden is heading into the homestretch trying to speed things up. He was in Salisbury yesterday to cut new television commercials which will be beamed into southern Delaware. The commercials show a definite change of style.

THE new campaign strategy, ordered by Biden himself, eases off the strident tub-thumping and fingerpointing and uses an approach that says, in effect, "Dear old dad may have been right for his Sikorski Quits Mental Helm Charles E. Sikorski has resigned as executive director of the Mental Health Association of This was confirmed yesterday by Sikorski, who said he would have no comment until after the meeting of the board of directors of the association Wednesday night. Sikorski has been executive director since November 1969. He came here from Wisconsin where he was president of the Waukesha County Association for Mental Health. ANALYSIS time and I love him but things are different now." There is no doubt that dear old dad is Biden's Republican opponent, 63-year-old U.S.

Sen. J. Caleb Boggs. Biden and his traveling staff spent much of Thursday night whistling along back roads in Sussex County in a three-car campaign caravan. U.S.

Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, was along, riding with Biden in the backseat in the long black Lincoln. Biden and Bentsen were matching notes on how long-shots can win Senate seats. Bensten began his 1970 campaign with a 2 per cent recognition factor, and went on to defeat incumbent Sen. Ralph Yarborough, in the primary and the Republican candidate George Bush, who is now the U.S.

ambassador to the United Nations. The national Republican Party sent in its biggest guns to campaign against Bentsen, much as it is now doing in the Boggs-Biden race. AFTER Bentsen had been settled into a Salisbury motel on a waterbed, to his surprise Biden and his staff sat up far into the night, keeping long-distance phone lines busy, putting the finishing touches on the new campaign strategy. That was ordered after he was found guilty of holding up a Country Maid store in Claymont. Walsh also imposed a $500 fine, but suspended it.

McCurdy's attorney, Angelo Flasca, an assistant public defender, told Walsh that McCurdy has been trying to rehabilitate himself and has been transferred to the minimum security building at the Delaware Correctional An admitted heroin addict was found guilty of robbery for the second time yesterday. The latest case involves snatching a purse from a woman in the 1400 block Van Buren St. Dec. 19. Anthony V.

McCurdy, 26, formerly of the 3300 block Madison was sentenced to three years in prison by Superior Court Judge Joseph T. Walsh, the term to run concurrent with a five-year sentence McCurdy received in June. Biden settled the dispute with the "dear old dad" ap-proach and his Boston copywriter, Mark Myers was ordered to adjust his style. "I've got to convince the voter that the difference between me and Boggs is how we perceive the issues." Biden said he believes that Boggs, although he is sincere, does not understand the issues in relationship to the 1970s. "I really believe he thinks that air and water pollution is the He doesn't really see what it is.

"I believe he really thinks reducing the oil depletion allowance from 27 per cent to 23 per cent is something. He doesn't question whether it should be eliminated altogether," he haid. Biden was contemptuous of Boggs' campaigners' attacks on him. "I thought they would go after me where I'm vulnerable," he said, "reality hit the young and inexperienced' bit But they've not been logical. Earlier, they could have really undressed me; now I've done my homework." Biden said he believes that Boggs has lost control of his campaign.

"I just can't believe that First Nazarene To Hear Emsley The Rev. Robert Emsley will be speaker for a week's evangelistic services at the First Church of the Nazarene, 357 Paper Mill Road, Newark. Services will open Tuesday and continue through the following Sunday at 7 each night and at 10:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Sunday.

Emsley of the Chicago Central District, is an itinerant evangelist in the Church of the Nazarene. The Rev. Loren W. Gould is pastor of the Newark Church. The new approach began yesterday.

In an ad for downstate, Bi-d says something like "thirty years ago, caring for the environment meant picking up bottles and beer cans off Rehoboth Beach now it means saving the beach things are different now." For upstaters one pitch is, "In 1950 Cale Boggs promised to keep highways growing; in 1970 Joe Biden promises to keep trees growing." In an interview in Salisbury, Biden said he has been receiv-1 advice on campaign strategy "from three quarters," and rejected it all. He said there was a strong Democratic staff lobby to "go after Boggs," with personal attacks of one kind or another. Others advised keeping the campaign the way it was. Mennonites Go West to Beat Prices READING, Pa. (AP) The Mennonites are an old world sect whose legacy often is land.

In Berks County, that legacy could be priced out of existence, a threat that has caused a handfull of Mennonites near here to look to the West for their future. "The farmer is being pushed out," explains Titus R. Martin, a 28-year-old Mennonite minister who is taking his wife, four sons and two daughters to Missouri. "A lot of young people like to farm," he says, "but it's too expensive for them in the East. Martin just sold his 86-acre dairy farm for $75,000, or $872 an acre.

He and another farmer are buying an 825-acre plot in in Missouri, across the Mississippi River from Quincy, for $140,000, or about $167 an acre.

To Jo Biden an unfair tax is the 1972 income tax. It's just within the last few years that it hit us. We realized that some of us were paying heavy taxes while others made more money and got off scot-free.

It was no different for our fathers, but they never saw the unfairness of it all. So now the politicians can't understand why it seems unfair to us. Joe Biden understands it very well He also understands what to do about it. He's outlined a tax reform plan that begins by eliminating some special privileges for special interests. Joe Biden doesn't have trouble understanding why so many Americans are upset over taxes.

Because he's one of the Americans who's upset. JoeBidein. Democrat for U.S. Senate AUCTION- 25 Free Green Stamps 1 iL. I I wiw we rurcnase 01 Any Quantity Container FRESH CIDER One to a Family.
