Nixon and implored sympathetic Democrats and union leaders to spread the fear that a Republican victory would result in even greater division and tension among Americans and in economic stagnation to boot.

IN A STATEMENT distributed here Saturday, Humphrey also added effective gun controls to the list of subjects on which he thinks Nixon has been ambiguous or silent for political profit. He called for a ban on the interstate sale of rifles, shotguns and ammunition, and for the registration of weapons that are not registered by the state. And he called upon his opponents to be equally clear. "The lives and safety of all Americans cannot rest upon his silence," the vice-president said. IN TALKS Friday night to party officials and union workers and in more television interviews and picnic speeches Saturday, Humphrey pressed further his charge that Nixon is waging "a Southern strategy" for the White House that puts him in competition with third- countryside.

Fundamental to his approach was the notion that the countryside can be helped only if some of the economic characteristics of the city industry, for example are superimposed upon it. The Republican nominee proposed a variety of remedies, including dedicated efforts to im- Ceci was one of six lawyers recommended for the post by the Milwaukee Bar Assn.

The Assembly State Affairs. Committee has been holding hearings throughout the state on proposed gun legislation. Negative reactions have dominated most of the sessions. State Sen. Reuben La Fave (R Oconto) told the committee he has distributed 8,000 bumper stickers reading, "When Guns Are Outlawed, only Outlaws Will Have Guns." He said gun jegis-tration is the first stop to gun confiscation.

AMONG THESE, he declared, was the problem of rural poverty. Nixon said rural poor "remain untouched by the federal anti-poverty programs" and added: treasurer of the local, sent a letter to the attorney general's office saying immediately after the strike began the employers hired the replacements, the majority of whom were truck drivers.
