Kennedy,
Fight to the Wire
Milwaukee, Wis.-flJVD - The
heated Wisconsin presidential
primary boiled nearer its day
of decision Saturday with Sen,
Hubert Humphrey attacking
his opponent's "extravagant'
spending, and Sen. John Ken
nedy bemoaning the fact that
his "chief competitors . . . re-
main safely on the sidelines."
Humphrey whipped around
the state in a chartered DC-3
airliner, while Kennedy went
by bus through Milwaukee
county in their final assaults
for votes in Tuesday's pri

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

succeed Eisenhower.

have suggested that states
might develop favorite son
candidates to bid for the nom

that a contest for vice presi

Because the selection usually
boils down to a choice by the
presidential nominee, il is
commonly said by politicians
that "nobody really runs for

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

Africans were killed in other
incidents Friday.
It was from Nyanga that the

Road Sealed Off
The Africans formed a body
on the main road and headed
for the city. Police, on tense

U.S. Hopes to Launch Second

He told United Press Inter

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
