Stevenson's Supporters Feel Nomination Coming Los Angeles - (UPD - Adlal . Stevenson's partisans claimed today that the rous ing welcome lie got at the Democratic National Conven tion showed he would be nominated a third time for the presidency. Angered backers of Sen. John F. Kennedy cried "foul," however. Sen. Mike Monroney (D Okla.), chief strategist In the 'draft Stevenson" camp, con tended Jubilantly that the demonstration showed that the delegates would settle on Stevenson-Kennedy ticket on the fourth or fifth ballot. Ohio Gov. Michael DiSalle, a Kennedy lieutenant, charg ed that Stevenson backers ap parently had packed the seats In the lower gallery of the Sports Arena. He said they were trying to "stampede" the convention through the demonstration. "Sombody should answer lor that," DiSalle declared The Kennedy camp split over whether Stevenson's dra matic entrance showed he was or wasn't a candidate. He has repeatedly refused to declare his candidacy but said tie would bow to a draft. DiSalle said it was a tra dition for a candidate not to go to the convention floor until after a nominee is pick ed and therefore he assumed "Stevenson no longer is a candidate." But Kennedy's brother, Robert, said that while he had n't thought previously that Stevenson was a candidate, the events of Tuesday con vinced him the twice-defeated presidential candidate was trying anew. Robert Kennedy minimized "the importance of the recep tion accorded Stevenson. He said that if any of the candi dates entered the hall, they would receive a similar ovation. Extensive Use of Howard Prairie Is Noted by Director Howard Prairie reservoir is being used extensively by the public this summer, Robert Haworth, county and city parks and recreation director, told the Jackson county parks and recreation commit tee Monday night. No definite boundaries for water-skiing and fishing have had to be set up so far this season, he added. Haworth said the big prob lem in the Howard Prairie recreation area is road dust. The contractor is still work ing on connecting roads. A county road behind the lake is oiled up to the last mile, he said, and is in "good shape" to the intersection with Howard Prairie and dam site road- This is an all- weather road, he added. Comparatively few water- skiers are using the lake, and only on week ends, Haworth said. . Number of fishermen using it all week is fairly steady. So far there has been no conflict between skiers and fishermen. No hard and fast control program has been set up this summer, he added. Fewer Skiers Fewer skiers will use the lake as the water continues to decrease because of irrigation needs. About 12,000 acre feet will be drawn out before the summer is over; he said, or 11.2 feet vertical draw down, Construction of a water system to the reservoir area was scheduled to start yester day, Haworth reported.

A national park service of ficial, following an Inspection, has agreed that the south of of the lake is the best area for organizational camping area. This will be available to all groups including youth organ izations, Haworth said. Saw Moses Kadoe, Burmese forester, is a guest of the local Bureau of Land Management this week. Kadoe is m the United States studying road construction techniques. Kadoe explained that one of the most impressive aspects of American forestry is mecha nization. 'In Burma we work our forests extensively. Here you work your forests intensive ly as well as extensively," he said. In Burma there are few roads, Kadoe said. Logging is done with the help of ele phants and the country's waterways. Common Burmese logging practices call for the teke tree to be girdled three years be fore it is cut. This is done be cause green teke is too heavy to float Boy, 14, Runs fnfo Side of Bus, Injured Beaverton IUPD - A 14-year-old boy suffered a badly mangled left leg this morn ing when he ran into the side of a bus on a highway inter section here.

Trailer owners also pay a registration fee as in years past. The meeting will be in the Marion county courthouse starting at 10 a.m. Motor Ve hicles will be represented by Robert Holland, assistant at torney general attached to that department.

"It is my understanding that the primary law docs not commit me to vote for Ken nedy. These are very critical times and what is for the benefit of the whole nation will benefit my state also."
