(UPI) -Ted Kennedy finds out today whether he has cleared the first hurdle in his race to become a national political figure. The Democratic state conven tion votes this evening on wheth er to endorse h i m as candidate for U.S. senator or give its ap proval to Edward J. McCormack Jr., attorney general of Mas sachusetts and a nephew of House Speaker John W. McCormack. Both sides are claiming victory. McCormack says he is sure of 916 of the 1,723 delegates. Kennedy claims a "clear majority" but de clines to give a specific number. There will be a last-minute scur ry to win delegates today and at 8 p.m.. EDT there will be a roll call which will reveal who is mis judging the situation. Majority Decides A simple majority on the first and only roll call will decide the issue. But the winner will not ne cessarily be the Democratic nom inee for senator because the los er still can enter the primary in the fall. Massachusetts law com pels both parties to hold conven tions but they are nothing more than popularity contests. Never theless both candidates are clutching for this straw In the wind as though it were a life raft in a storm-tossed sea. Late Thursday Kennedy sum moned reporters to a motel about 13 miles from Springfield, sat un der the hot television lights with his blonde wife, Joan, and tried to answer some of the accusa tions that McCormack has been bringing against him. Makes Many Charges There have been lots of them and they include: That the Kennedy administra tion has turned the heat on here by dangling jobs as postmasters before the delegates. That W 1 1 li a m C. Hartigan, former assistant postmaster gen eral, resigned recently from his Washington job to mastermind Ted's campaign. That offers have been made to some delegates to get them out of legal and financial entangle ments if they cast their votes the right way, That Kennedy's voting record is bad in the sense that he didn't bother to go to the polls in the last nine years unless a Kennedy was running for office. Spe cifically, his brother, John Mc Cormack emphasized that Ted voted in 1058 and 1960 when his brother was running for senator and president, respectively. Kennedy Answers Kennedy denied it all at the news conference. McCormack has said he has documentary evidence about this campaign that would jeopardize President Kennedy's chances for re-election. "I challenge him to produce it." Ted said. "If he is going to make such charges he should substanti ate them. As state attorney gen eral he knows that such charges must be proved and that you can't just try cases in the news-DaDers." This was the first chance re- Dorters have had to question Ken nedy directly since the convention opened and they gave him a hard time, particularly about his vot ing record. "Why didn't you vote for Adlai Stevenson for president in 1956?" he was asked. "I was out of the state," Ken nedy replied. "Why didn t you vote on an ao sentee ballot?" "I didn't apply for one." The men in charge of the con vention fear violence may break out on the floor today. Police had to be summoned Thursday to quell disorder in the credentials committee. Forecasters see rain for area Central Oregon's brief period of ideal weather following many chilly nights appears to be near ins an end. Forecasts call for some rain, mostly after Sunday.

WASHINGTON (UPI) - The Senate Appropriations Committee today approved a record peace time $48.4 billion defense spending bill including the full $491 million sought by the Air Force for Uie controversial RS70 warplane. The Senate committee added $590 million to the $47.8 billion previously voted by the House, with $267 million of the increase going for the RS70. President Kennedy originally re quested $47.9 billion, including $171 million for the RS70. The full committee approved al most intact the recommendations of its military appropriations sub committee. The Senate is expected to take up the measure Tuesday. The senate group went along with the House by voting funds to maintain the Army National Guard at 400,000 men and the Army Reserve at 300,000. The administration had proposed dropping the strength levels to 367,000 and 275,000 in the year be ginning July 1. The bill carried $11,616,067,000 for the Army, $15,171,434,000 for the Navy, $19,592,934,000 for the Air Force, and $2,048,780,000 for various other defense activities. It was nearly $2 billion more than Congress voted the defense establishment for the current fis cal year. In fixing the 700,000 manpower figure for the National Guard and Reserves, the committee wrote in language designed to make this binding on the administration. The group added $4.17 minion tor uie Naval Reserve and $6.7 million lor the Air Force Reserve. The Defense Department had asked the Senate group to restore $350 million of the House cuts but did not ask for the RS70 money. The extra money is to push ahead with the RS70 as a co-ordinated weapons system for strike pur poses rather than as an experi mental aircraft prototype which the administration proposed. In its report, the committee said "it is clear that there will be a continuing requirement for manned bombers to accomplish those strategic tasks which mis siles cannot perform. "Missiles cannot think, they can not look and report back, and they cannot be used for other than a single purpose destroy the ene my," it said. The Senate group also voiced "grave concern" that with final delivery of B52s and B58s this year, "for the first time since the inception of the Communist threat, no bombers will be in production." ilamnel saws Muslin's r?o o Miie f ignres " ; ' "Trr-" -vT Jr' f i if u- S "71 IT 1 V tit rr r i i iir ii ,'i- weiiiiiniinii-'- nriiiii-ri- n"r i r f i.iir...ijn n h! proi Ex-aide fires new charges of 'cover up' FINISHING TOUCH Karen Jones, 4-H member from Powell Butte, blocks the wool. on Rustler, her fat lamb, at tha 12th annual fat livestock show and sal at the Bend Municipal Baseball field.

"With so much emphasis on our difficult problems, there is no ceremony more pleasant than to pay recognition to our young men and women," President Kennedy said. "I hope other hoys and girls will be encouraged by their example." Young Davis, one ot seven enn dren of Mr. and Mrs. Loren G. Davis, was honored for dashing through flames to rescue his 2-year-old brother, Mark, from a second story bedroom during a fire which engulfed their home Dec. 12. 1960. Gerald suffered serious burns.

WASHINGTON (UPD A Repub lican lawyer fired by a congres sional committee investigating the Billie Sol Estes scandals said to day a federal employe changed his testimony at the inquiry to avoid mentioning Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson. The charge was made by Rob ert Manuel, a Republican fired Thursday by a House subcommit tee for giving a reporter a secret Agriculture Department report on the Estes case. . In a statement to reporters, Manuel said Carl Miller, an Ag riculture Department official omitted Johnson's name from his testimony while being questioned by the investigators. " Manuel said Miller had stated in private that Estes, West Texas farm manipulator under indict ment on fraud charges, had 'sought to pressure him by in voking the names of the late Speaker Sam Rayburn and Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson. Manuel said Miller "told me this happened in his office during a visit by Billie Sol Estes Jan. 25, 1981." Tells of Conversation The statement added: "On or about May 25. . . 1 In terrogated Mr. Miller at his home In Alexandria, Va. Among other thinss. Miller told ma in no tin- I certain terms that Billie Sol Estes had sought to pressure him by invoking the names of the late Speaker Rayburn and Vice Presi dent Lyndon B. Johnson." ' When Miller appeared at public hearings a few days later, Man uel said, "his story was somewhat different" Manuel quoted Miller as saying the names of those pressuring him were Rayburn and Sen. Ralph Yarborough, D-Tex. "At the con clusion of his (Miller's) testimony I called him over to the counsel table and, in the presence of Rep. Florence Dwyer, R-N.J I re minded him that in our interview he had mentioned Mr. Johnson, and not Sen. Yarborough. He admitted this and seemed remorseful. But he offered no ex planation of why he changed his story." The incident, Manuel continued, "points up the way this investiga tion is being distorted and the truth suppressed either because of shoddy preparation, or a will ingness to cover up. Defends Leaking Report In defense of his action in giv ing the confidential report on Es tes to a Washington newsman, Manuel said when he was asked to become Republican counsel of the investigating group, he accept ed in the hope "that I could help perform a useful public service." The Billie Sol Estes scandal was not only a clear example of political corruption at Its worst, but also seemed to me to be a test of our very system of free government," he said. Miller, sitting in the hearing room while Investigators ques tioned a witness today, told a re porter he could not remember "whose names I mentioned to Manuel." Miller said Manuel came to his home one night and left after mid night. He said Manuel's statement "distorted" the nature of their conversation. He declined to say whether he had mentioned John son's name in the conversation.
