I Here's a good idea ' to remember for vourvacation trip: Kellogg'a All-Bran. AU-Bran. you know, helps 'avoid irregularity due to lack of dietary bulk. And so often on a trip we eat dif ferently and don't get the bulk we need. (the gentle roughage that helps keep us regular). Take a box of All-Bran with you. or ask for it in the new aluminum foil "Individ ual" packageaatrestaurants along the way. Chicago (U.R) The dele gates had expected a fast break away by Sen. Estes Kefauver but many figured he would fade in the stretch. He was carrying the same handicaps he has long carried opposition from the South and from many top party leaders. But presidential nominee Ad lai E. Stevenson gave Kefauver his chance by calling for an open contest over the vice presiden tial nomination instead of the usual dictated choice. So Kefauver' name was placed before the convention along with those of Sen. John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts, Sen. Albert Gore of Tennessee, Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey of Minne sota, Mayor Robert F. Wagner Jr. of New York, Gov. Luther H. Hodges of North Carolina and Gov. Leroy Collins of Flori da. Early Lead Expected 1 Kefauver's opposition had conceded him an edge on the first ballot. It was assumed that he had a better organized bloc of supporters based on the dele gates he won in presidential pri maries before he withdrew as a candidate for the presidential nomination. The first ballot followed the form chart. It gave Kefauver 483V of the 686V4 needed to win. Among the other major contenders, Kennedy had 304, Gore 178, "Wagner '162i and Humphrey 134V4. An unusual stop-Kefauver lineup was developing with Southern states combining with an eastern bloc and some anti Kefauver organization Demo crats from other states. On the second ballot, this al liance swung behind Kennedy. Cumulative totals on the tabu lating machines showed a real horse race was under way. Kennedy Surges Ahead Then Kennedy began to pull away. Illinois gave him 5414; New York left Wagner and gave 96V4 to Kennedy; Texas threw him a big 56 votes. But the word came that Gore might withdraw' and throw his support to his fellow senator from Tennessee. That would mean 32 Tennessee votes for Kefauver, who had scant help from his home -state Democrats this year in his bids for 'the presidential and vice presiden tial nominations. After the first go-around on the second ballot, state stand ards began to wave. Convention Chairman Sam Rayburn first recognized (Kentucky, which switched 30 votes to Kennedy. At that point, Kennedy had 646 and Kefauver 551V4. Sens. Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas and George Smathers of Florida. Kennedy backers, were seen working on Got. Raymond Gary of Oklahoma, who had cast his state's 30 votes for Gore. Gary must have told them Ken nedy lacked appeal to the farm belt. Tennessee Starts Stamped Then Gore withdrew, Ten nessee shifted its votes from him to Kefauver and the stampede started. Oklahoma .switched its 30 to Kefauver. State' standards began waving all over the cav ernous convention hall. . . Minnesota, which had divided its 30 votes between Kefauver and Humphrey, reported - t h a t Humphrey wanted them all to go to Kefauver. Another Mid western state, Missouri, threw 36 votes to Kefauver and the scramble was on. When all the switches were recorded, Kefauver had 755Vs, Kennedy 589 and the other can didates 27'i. Kennedy went to the hall from, the nearby Stock yards Inn and asked that Ke fauver be nominated by accla mation. 1 - Rayburn put the question to a voice vote which brought a thunder . of "ayes." But "noes" were heard, too, from the- south. i The Sault Canal on the Michigan-Ontario border annually carries more shipping traffic than the Suez, Kiel and Panama Canals combined.
