Kennedys Hope For Nomination Increased

His Victory
By FRANCIS STILLEY
NEW YORK (AH) Sen. John !
F. Kennedy set out today on the
most important tnp of Ins life to '
capture uie uemucraiic presiuco- u i snuuia ue uraiiea, i wouia
tial nomination. He said he was'do my utmost to win this critical,

-.enalor was suntanned, poised and :
seemingly rested from recent days
ot relaxation at his family 3 sum
mer home on Cape Cod.
Pressed anew as to whether he
thought he would win on the first
ballot, Kennedy said: "I wouldn't
make any predictions. I have said
that I would have over BOO voles
in the early balloting and that's
moving up now."
He was asked whether his ex
perience in 1956. when he sought
unsuccessfully U) get the vice
presidential nomination, would
stand him in good stead now.
Kennedy laughed and asked:
"When 1 missed by 20 voles?"
Then he added:
"I've got enough experience and
now we're ready to win."
Kennedy said he feels the con
vention "is certainly a very wide
open convention" and not pre
arranged as claimed by former
President Harry S. Truman and
some other Democrats.
Told that Truman had changed
his mind and would attend, the
senator said:
"I'm delighted. He should be
there.-He's a great leader of the
party."

J.OS ANGELES (AP) Sen.
John F. Kennedy tightened the
cordon around his rivals today as
pre-convention battling over the
Democratic presidential nomina

No matter where his opponents

their effective calls.
As the acknowledged lront run-

due here today could point to i
linnked-up support in every area
still regarded as political open
range in advance of the conven
tion's formal opening Monday.
If the platoon leaders of dele

Persona! Plea To Congress
For OK On His Legislative
Program May Be Ike's Plan
NEWPORT (AP) President
Eisenhower reportedly is thinking
about going before Congress per
sonally when it reconvenes next
month to make an extraordinary
election year appeal for his budg
et and legislative program.
Aides at the President's vacation
headquarters said today Eisen
hower almost certainly will sound
such an appeal even if he de
cides against addressing a joint
session of. the Senate and House.
Alternatives would be to send a
special message to Congress, or
make a speech to the nation on
television and radio. Also, the ap
proach could be both a special mes
sage and a TV-radio address.
Eisenhower is pictured by aides,
who asked not to be named, as
deeply concerned that Congress
members may come back from
their national political conventions
and cast thrift to the winds in an
effort to woo votes to the Demo
cratic or Republican tickets.
The President told a news con
ference last Wednesday it will be
a miracle if the four billion dollar
budget surplus he had counted on
is realized in the fiscal year which
started July 1.
Democrats Given Blame
The President blamed the Democratic-controlled
Congress for not
acting on his requests fur higher
gasoline and highway construction
taxes, and for not increasing post
al rates. He also complained about
the 700 million dollar cost of the
new pay hike for federal employes I

If a big-spending fervor does not
develop on any great scale, the
President may decide on simply
a special message which would be
read for him in the Senate and
House.
Aides did not specify the legisla
tive proposals Eisenhower intends
to emphasize. Many of those he
outlined in January had not been
acted upon.
In reply to news conference
questions, Press Secretary James
C. Hagerty said: "The President
doesn't believe that Congress has
even begun to complete its work."
Hagerty added that in addition
to calling for speedy action on
legislative measures, Eisenhower
will call for caution against any
election year big-spending fervor.
Among programs on which Ei
senhower particularly wants fast
action are the four-billion - dollar
foreign aid plan and measures for
dealing with the wheat surplus,
Hagerty said.

Stale Police Lt. E. L. Roush
called the cash recovery one of
the biggest from any crime in
Hie nation's history.
Earl Hayes Mathews, 32, was
charged with the theft of funds
taken during the weekend ending
June 20. Police picked him up Fri
day at a South Charleston apart
ment. They found bags of money
in the trunk of his car. He broke
down and cried, he said, and ad
mitted the theft.
Police received a tip that Math
ews had been spending money but
wasn't making any.
"At the time, we didn't think
much of the tip on Mathews," said
Stale Police Cpl. O. S. Neely.
"We had checked out hundreds
of what we had considered bet
ter leads."
But they questioned Mathews'
mother. She told them her son
was out of work but recently had
given her $75. After two days of
watching, they finally arrested
Mathews.

this was a flagrant example of ;

He went on to say that clcspue

Backfire Of Italy Riots
Ups Government Power
ROME (AP) Bloody Com
munist rioting, aimed at ousting
Premier Fernando Tambroni's
Christian Democrat government,
appeared today to have backfired
and to have strengthened his hand
instead.
The rioting, Italy's worst in
years, has brought death to 10 and
injuries lo moi than a thousand
both demonstrators and police.
No major Italian city has escaped
the disorders during the past two
weeks.
Communist oralors have repeat

must go or, as one pro-Communist
senator put il, Italy will "be a
government of civil war."
But the strife seems to hae
united the warring factions of
Tambroni's Christian Democrat
party behind him, at least for the
present.

the law excuses no man," but
