Seven IFofentfiiaD Candidates Seen tor EDemo Nomination Editor's Bote: Thll is the second of two dispatches in which a vet eran Washington political reporter sizes op the presidential situation one year before the Republican and Democratic conventions. Bt RAYMOND LAHR UPI Correspondent Washington-TOPD - With the 1960 political conventions just a year away, the Democrats have a field of seven potential candidates in the running for the presidential nomination. By convention time, there could be more. State presidential primaries or the accidents of politics, however, could eliminate some of those now viewed as con tenders before the delegates convene at Los Angeles July 11, 1960. None has yet declared him self a candiate and none has a commanding lead. The cur rent feeling among Democrats is- that none will be close, to Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watkins H Explode Myths Of 'Special Foods' Certain African tribes, liv ing in regions where lions are present, believe that by kill ing the animal and eating its heart they will possess the strength and courage of the lion. If this seems ridiculous, it might be well to remember that we, the self-termed en lightened ones, also go in for some things that are equally silly. You probably know folks who eat celery because it is good for the nerves. There are those who firmly believe that fish is brain food, and they eat fish whether they like it or not. It would be use less to tell these folks that even if they ate a crate of cel ery a day from now on, they could still be as "nervous as a cat" or a "setting hen." If your emotional life suffered a relapse, you could get no bet ter than one who had never eaten a stalk of celery in his life. Celery and relief from nervous breakdowns have nothing at all in common. Not Brain Food Neither would your brain be any better fed if you ate all the fish in the sea.. Eating fish is not equivalent to a college education. In fact, by itself, it wouldn't even get you in the first grade. Celery, . fish, or even the lion's heart would all furnish nutrients necessary to human or animal metabolism, but so would lima beans, hot dogs or artichokes. Digestive systems seem to be such that assimilat ed food mainly goes to nourish the entire system. It just isn't directed toward one particular part. The stomach doesn't sort it all out or say, "here comes some fish, send this up to the brain." Neither does it recog nize the crunch of celery, al- I erting the nerves of the body I to "get ready, here's your fa vorite food. Eating elephant meat wouldn't generate tremendous strength, any . more than eat ing rabbit would cause the eater to be timid, or give him the ability to wiggle his nose. Because you drink milk, or eat eggs, doesn't induce any one to moo like a cow, or roost on a perch at night like a domestic hen. Sure, all these things are silly. But many of us do some silly things in the belief we are helping our selves, or generating a force or a power. f Just As Ridiculous We laugh at the African na tive who tries to derive the courage of the mis-named King of Beasts by eating its heart. But the celery, fish, and other peculiar beliefs we accept as "cure-alls" are just as ridiculous. They're all as impossible as the belief that if someone says, "You are lion-hearted.V you have an abundance of strength and courage. The so-called King of Beasts does not possess any more courage or strength in relation to size than the stupid hyena, who is satisfied to eat the "crumbs of flesh that fall from the lion's table." Eating the lion's heart won't make the native any braver, any more than there is a dan ger of your neighbor develop ing a "shady '' character be cause he spends his afternoons lying in the shade. Neither does the eating of popcorn go to your head and flake off your scalp as dandruff. -(Released by The Register and Tribune Syndicate. 1959) India's principal imports are food grains and seeds, raw cotton, machinery and mill workers.

Strong' Support Here is the lineup: Adlai E. Stevenson, defeat ed 1952 and 1956 nominee who' says he is not a candidate and will not be nominated. He still, has strong rank-and-file support and is considered a strong compromise possibility if the convention goes beyond the third ballot. Sen. John F. Kennedy (Mass.), who is now regarded as the front-runner and who has been steadily moving into position for the big try ever since he barely lost the 1956 vice presidential nomination to Sen. Estes Kefauver of Ten nessee. A Catholic, he is hand icapped in some areas by nerv ousness about the political im pact of the religous issue. Sen. Stuart Symington (Mo.), who probably has more "sec ond choice" support than any other contender now. He would be epected to move up if the pacesetters falter on the second or third ballot. His vot ing record aligns him with the New ; Deal 'wing of the party but the Southerners gen erally consider him accept able. He was Air Force Secre tary and held other executive assignments in the Truman administration. Depends on Record Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson (Te.), like Stevenson, declares with ap parent conviction that he will Man Injured in Fall Now Convalescing Frank B. Wheat, 801 North Central st., is convalescing at his home following his release last week from Sacred Heart hospital. Wheat was injured June 19 when he fell from the roof of the new Shakespearean Festi val theater in Ashland. Ac cording to Mrs.. Wheat, .he may have visitors. . not be a candidate. How he is rated by convention time will depend largely on the public's attitude toward the record of Congress when it finishes its 1959 and 1960 ses sions. His reputation as a miracle-worker has been smudged recently by the Republican as sault on Congress under the leadership of President Eisen hower. His Southern roots will hurt him with delegates con cerned about the civil rights issue but will help with those worried about keeping the South in the party. Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (Minn.), who rates high with the liberal wing of the party but is almost persona non grata in the South. . He will have trouble mustering sup port as long as the shadow of a third Stevenson nomination hangs over the convention. However, he is preparing to challenge Kennedy in. some of the state presidential pri maries. The results could be fatal to one or both. Gov. G. Mennen Williams, the still youthful six-term gov ernor of Michigan. He'is count ed a very long short, in part because he is tied closely to the CIO wing of the labor movement and is getting a dose of bad publicity from a financial crisis in his home state. Gov. Robert B. Meyner, who has twice been elected chief executive of the normally Re publican and pivotal state of New Jersey. He also is still classed as a long shot. Among others who may move into contention is Gov. Edmund G. Brown of Cali fornia, who led the Democrats in his state out of the wilder ness in the 1958 election but now calls himself only a fa vorite son candidate. Another is Rep. Chester Bowles, form er governor of Connecticut, Federal Price Administration and Ambassador to India, who is generating some interest but lacks a solid political base on which to build.
