G SIX MEDrORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tueidsy, Oetobtr 25, l99a Lyndon Johnson Eyed by Conservative Southerners as Presidential Choice O o Virginia's Byrd . Reported Among Eager Supporters .Washington U.R) Some powerful conservative South erners wereyeing Senate Demo cratic Leader Lyndon B. John son today as a possible presi dential nominee for next year despite his heart attack. These Southern Democrats ad mitted serious reservations, how ever, about whether Johnson's health would permit him to be a candidate. Like President Eisenhower, Johnson suffered a heart attack this year a moderately severe attack which kept him out of the Senate during the final month of Congress. He has since been -reported making a good recovery, . Many politicians have assumed Mr. Eisenhower would remove himself as a candidate for re election because of his attack. Those Democrats who would like to nominate Johnson must de cide whether their party would risk nominating a candidate in similar circumstances even though the Texas senator is 18 years younger than Mr. Eisen hower. ' Byrd Reported Eager Sen. Harry F. Byrd (D-Va.) was reported) by friends to be among the Southerners eager to support Johnson if the Texan is available. In 1S52, Byrd refused to support Adlai E. Stevenson, the Democratic presidential nom inee, and thus helped throw Vir ginia's electoral votes to Mr. Eisenhower. Southern interest in Johnson reflects . in part a lack of en thusiasm for Stevenson, Gov. Averell Harriman of New York and Sen. Estes Kefauver. (D Tenn.), who are now regarded as the most likely possibilities for the 1956 nomination.- But from outside the South, Sen. Mike Mansfield (D-Mont.), has talked of nominating Johnson. ' If Johnson has any presidential ambitions, he has kept mum about them. Before his heart at tack, -he was figuring in specu lation as a Democratic possibil ity for 1960. Caught National Attention Johnson caught national at tention for the way he was put ting his stamp on the record of the Democratic-controlled- Con grs during a Republican admin istration. He fought to unite the democrats in Congress and to -get congressional approval of what he regards as a "moderate" legislative program. The Young Democratic Clubs of America, meanwhile, an nounced that Harriman and Gov. G. Mennen Williams of Michigan will be principal speakers at its Qeonvention this year. Neal Smith, president, said Stevenson and Kefauver also were invited to speak but were unable to fit it into their sched ules. ' He said Stevenson may be able to make an appearance dur ing the convention, which will take place Nov. 30 through Dec. 3 at Oklahoma City, Okla. Steel Consumers Eye Clues for Future r.

Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSY United Press Corrasfgpdlnt Aline Mosbr Hollywood (U.R) A slim,! beaming , Mario Lanza declared today he's behaving like "a lamb" on his come back movie h i s first in four years be cause his new bosses are nice to him. After false starts on TV and in Las Vegas,1 Lanza sings again at last. This trip the handsome tenor is performing, without laryugitis or stage fright, in a drama-with-music at Warner Studio, "Sere nade." ' " "I'm here and I'm happy," an nounced the singer as he sat in his dressing room on the set. "I'm so happy to be back at work. Nobody is going to stand in my way again. 'It's Been Marvelous' "They treat you at this studio like they tell you they will. They say, 'What would you like?' It's been marvelous. Not one word has not been lived up to. "The voice is the voice," he continued, in his custom of re ferring in his vocal chords as a separate commodity. "It has to unhealthy.' be taken care of. And when it is, I become a lamb.
