John Ken nedy bemoaning the fact that his "chief competitors . . . re- main safely on the sidelines."

Ike Wants Contest For No. 2 Washington - (UPD - Presi dent Eisenhower would like to see a national convention contest for the GOP nomina tion for vice president, a high ly placed Republican reported Saturday. Party leaders have been toy ing with this idea as one way to put a little excitement into their Chicago convention next July and to help them to call votes to choose the man for second place on the ticket from among two or more con tenders. The promise of drama in the convention was virtually removed last December when New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller bowed out as a -onrfirinte for the presidential nomination. His action left Vir. President Richard M. Nixon without a major rival ir,r th r.OP nomination to succeed Eisenhower. a Ttpnnhlican leader In a position to know said Eisen hower likes the idea of a con 4.t tn choose Nixon's run ning mate. He was said to have suggested that states might develop favorite son candidates to bid for the nom ination. Party managers recognize that a contest for vice presi dent would raise problems Because the selection usually boils down to a choice by the presidential nominee, il is commonly said by politicians that "nobody really runs for vice president.

High Spending Humphrey said at Madison that Kennedy is outspending him four to one In Wisconsin and charged that the Massa chusetts senator had spent more on gasoline for his Con vair airplane "than I have for television." . . , ,. Humphrey, a self - styled poor man in the race, said Kennedy's campaign in this state "is the most highly fi nanced, the most plush, the most extravagant In the his tory of politics . in the mid west." ' j ' Kennedy, however, Ignored Humphrey and In a speech at Milwaukee wrote off the Min nesotan as a minor competitor for the Democratic president ial nomination. On the Sidelines "I regret that my chief com petitors in the convention re main safely on the sidelines, hoping to gain the nomination through manipulation of the convention," Kennedy said. He referred to Sen. Stuart Symington (D-Mo.), a recent announcee for the nomina tion, and Sen. Lyndon John son (U-iex.j, as yei unae- clared Kennedy said these com petitors are "hoping for a stalemate" in the Wisconsin race and are trying to "dis miss this primary as unim portant."

All of South Africa was In a state of crisis and officials feared the week end would be scarred by new outbreaks of black-white strife. The government extended the state of emergency declar ed Wednesday to cover 117 Moscow Listed On International Jet Air Routes Moscow - (UPD - Moscow be came a stop on international jet airliner routes Saturday. The first western airline to make a regular jet stop Moscow was British European Airways, which dispatched a Comet jet on a three hour and 20 minute run from London. Jet service to Moscow was being inaugurated by Scan dinavian Airlines system, Air France, KLM Dutch, and Sa- bena of Belgium. These air lines will use French Cara- velle and American Boeing 707 jets, and American-built Lockheed turbo-props. The big jets cut about three hours off the regular non-jet flying time between London and Moscow. (A Soviet note received Fri day in Washington said Russia was willing to negotiate on regular air schedules between the Soviet Union and the United States. (The only U.S. airline certi fied for such service by the Civil Aeronautics board is Pan American World Air ways, which has been holding preliminary talks with Rus sia s Aeroflot state-run air line awaiting an agreement between the - two govern ments.) Aeroflot has had let serv ice on runs between Moscow and several European capitals for several months, but until today no western airline could offer direct connections with trans-Atlantic flights. Sabena will fly a 707 jet from Moscow to New York, with one stop In Brussels. Anti-Peddling Bill Under Fire Washington - IUPD - A bill intended to close the door on alleged influence peddling by retired generals and admirals came under attack by its spon sor Saturday as likely to crack the door wider than ever. The bill comes up for House action Wednesday with endorsement of the Armed Services committee. It carries the name of Rep. F. Edward Hebert (D-La.), chairman of an Armed Services investigating subcommittee which studied what President Eisenhower called "the munitions lobby." But Hebert Saturday for mally disowned the measure, which as amended by the full committee over his protest is mainly a rewrite of existing law under which retirement pay is withheld from ex-officers who sell to the Pentagon within two years after they take off their stars and gold braid. Hebert announced he will fight for House approval in stead of a substitute carrying criminal penalties for retired officers who within the two- year period participate in such sales and also penalizing the defense contractors who hire "All the committee Dili would do is license and en courage the kind of Influence peddling my subcommittee set out to curb," Hebert told Unit ed Press International. "An officer with retirement pay of $10,000 a year would be only too glad to sacrifice tnis as a foe entitling him to take a $50,000 Job with a missile maker. He could retire one day and the next day return to the Pentagon with an order book." Cleveland - (UTO - Sen. StU- art Symington (D-Mo.)

Baby Girl Shot The tense day passed with out fatal incidents but it was revealed a sick baby girl was shot and killed Friday at Ny anga, an African location Just outside Capetown. Three more Africans were killed in other incidents Friday. It was from Nyanga that the marchers on Capetown start ed out Saturday. The Negroes were able to get out of the lo cation before police could ef fectively seal It off. Road Sealed Off The Africans formed a body on the main road and headed for the city. Police, on tense alert since a similar march Thursday which ended only yards from the Houses of Par liament, sealed off the road with a solid phalanx of armed men. The Africans stopped short of the police barrier and Dis trict Police Commandant Maj. J. J. Rheeder ordered them to return to Nyanga. For a few tense minutes it looked as though the Negroes would storm the police line, but they finally turned and went home. The military cordon around Nyanga was slammed tight again. White City Name Is Now Official The post office address at the Veterans Administration Domiciliary and surrounding industrial and residential area is now White City instead of Camp White. The change became effec tive April 1 on order by the post office department. The change was recommend ed by Representative Walter Norblad because the name White City had been used commonly in referring to the area. Arthur Scarseth; present postmaster at White City, will remain in that capacity, according to H. - C. Herzog, manager of the Domiciliary. U.S. Hopes to Launch Second Photo-Satellite This Yeai Washington -(UPO- Dr. Harry Wexler, the weather bureau's chief scientist, said Saturday that space experts hope to launch a second eye-in-the-sky TV satellite later this year with infra-red gear for taking pictures in the dark. He told United Press Inter national that this would be the next step in a program aimed ultimately at having six polar- orbiting TV weather satellites and a seventh circling the earth in an equatorial west-to- east direction. Tiros 1, the first TV weath er satellite which was orbit ed by the United States Fri day, was circuiting the earth Saturday with all instruments reported functioning well.

They joined In jail 49 other Negroes arrested for previous aemonstrations In this tense east Texas town. The racial unrest in Mar. shall was particularly evident Saturday. Farmers from the surrounding areas, most of whom are dead-set against integration, crowded into the town square. The 49 In Jail Saturday when the pickets were arrest ed were demonstrators re-arrested Friday. The 49 were among Negroes originally ar restee: Wednesday, but against whom charges were withheld on condition there were no new demonstrations. Sixteen Negroes, in addi tion to the 49, were arrested Friday directly after sitting down at a segregated lunch counter. But the 16 were re leased in $100 bond each. Negro teams were out try ing to raise bail for demon strators in jail. Students at Wiley and Bishop colleges, both Negro, threatened yesterday to march on the jail Saturday to demonstrate against arrests. But the march hadn't taken place at last report. The six Negroes arrested Saturday and charged with violating a state anti-picket- ing law were all believed to be from Wiley College.

He said the equatorial satel lite, following a path similar to Tiros l's orbit, would be used to photograph cloud masses associated with tropi-1 cal storms. "These could be pieced to gether from the photographs taken by the polar orbiting satellite," he said, "but be cause of the importance of tropical storms it is desirable to have a smooth, continuous picture." . Wexler said the overall sys tem would provide "detection and almost continuous obser vation of every large cloud system that would be associat ed with a major storm."

Changes Possible In Tax Laws Washington - (WD - Self-em ployed persons appeared to be nearer victory Saturday in their long quest for Income tax relief to enable them to save money for retirement. Congressional tax experts greed that a new conciliatory stand taken on the Issue by the treasury had opened the door to almost certain enact ment of some form of legis lation this year. If so, an estimated 6 mil lion doctors, lawyers, mer chants, farmers and other self-employed would be able to qualify for a tax cut by setting up their own pension plans. They would not have to pay taxes on amounts placed retirement fund, or on earnings of the fund itself, until the money is withdrawn. For most self-employed the annual contributions would be limited to 10 per cent of income with an over-all an nual maximum of $2,500. Thus, a person earning no more than. $25,000 a year could use a retirement fund to reduce his current income tax bill by at least 10 per cent. The House last year over whelmingly approved u c h legislation over treasury op position. But the treasury Friday night spelled out for the benefit of the senate fi nance committee a series of suggested revisions calculated tn make the bill acceptable to President Eisenhower.
