Kennedy Promises To Lead Victory-Starved Democrats Back To Power
(Continued From Pag I)
In a dramatic appearance
before the hoarsely cheering
convention delegates just be
fore midnight in this conven
tion city, Kennedy promised
to lead his victory - starved
party to national power.
"We will carry the fight to
the people this fall - and we
shall win," declared the 43-
year-old Massachusetts sen
ator, one of the youngest men
ever nominated for the presi
dency, and the first Roman
Catholic to head a major par
ty ticket in 32 years.
Kennedy made it plain,
from the moment of his nomi
nation, that he would cam-

National Convention Wednes
day night
Mrs. Virginia Grant, who
had hinted she would do so,
cast her V4 vote for twice-defeated
Adiai Stevenson while
the remainder of the dele
gates totaled 16V4 votes for
Kennedy.
Didn't Feel Committed
She said she did not feel
committed by the state's May
presidential primary election
and that she weighed her de
cision "very carefully" before
the vote.
Mrs. Edith Green, in her
third term as Congresswoman,
seconded the Kennedy nomi
nation Wednesday night when
it was placed before the convention.
i She described the New
Englander as a man who will
lead the nation in a "program
of action" this fail.
"We all know that the fu
ture of this country-perhaps
the future of freedom every-where-will
be affected in a
large measure by what we do
here in these noisy, crowded
days," she told the delegates.
She recalled that the Dem
ocrats in their platform had
made "noble pledges" to the
American people and said she
wanted to see them realized.
Tenacious Leader
"I want to see these schools
built," she said. "I want to
see those slums cleared. I
want to see medical research
expanded. I want to see every
pledge become a program of
action."
She described Kennedy as
a "driving, imaginative, and
tenacious leader who grew
steadily in strength and pur
pose" during his exhaustive
primary election campaign.
"John F. Kennedy has
proved by every test that he
can best carry our program to
the American people this No
vember," she said.
Festival Discussed
At Kiwanis Meeting
The Oregon Shakespearean
fwtival at Ashland was de
scribed by Manager William
Patton yesterday as another
industry in this area "that I
think you can be proud to
tell people about."
Patton discussed the fes
tival in a talk to Medford
Kiwanians at their luncheon
meeting at Rogue Valley
Country club.
Featured on the luncheon
program were the festival's
strolling singers, Lyman

Cancels Talk on
Air Agreement
Washington - (UPD - The
United States today called off
talks scheduled to begin here
Monday with Russia on a
U.S. -Soviet civil air agree
ment because of Moscow's in
tensified cold war attacks on
the United States.
In a note delivered to the
Soviet Foreign Office in Mos
cow today, the United States
said "recent Soviet actions
and utterances . . . could not
fail to affect adversely the
atmosphere surrounding such
negotiations at this time."
It said the talks must be
postponed until "a more suit
able time.
Atmosphere Worsened
State Department spokes
man Lincoln White said the
U.S. decision does not apply
to any other U.S.-Soviet ne
gotiations or exchanges.
However, department o f -ficials
said the atmosphere
fo negotiations is being de
liberately worsened by a
series of what they called
provocative Soviet actions
since the breakdown of the
Paris summit conference.
The Soviet air negotiators
were scheduled to arrive here
Friday afternoon but they
were stopped in Russia when
the note was delivered.
The negotiations were in
tended to arrange for recipro
cal rights for U.S. airlines to
fly to Russia and the Soviet
airline to serve the United
States.

hour after his nomination was
made official.
The presidential nominee
also scheduled another strat
egy huddle with party leaders
this morning to discuss his
vice presidential choice.
Several influential Demo
cratic leaders, including those
from New York, Illinois and
Pennsylvania, were known to
favor Symington on the
theory that he is a nationally
prominent figure and would
strengthen the ticket.
Midwestern Protestant
Symington also possesses
several other qualifications
regarded by Kennedy stra
tegists as essential-he is from
the Midwest, has a pro-farm
bloc voting record, and is a
Protestant Episcopalian.
Symington, who had pre
viously disavowed any inter
est in second place, indicated
strongly today that he would
accept if asked. He said the
question was "entirely up to
Sen. Kennedy."
Immediately after his vic
tory, Kennedy was given
pledges of support by Senate
Democratic Leader Lyndon B.
Johnson, his strongest rival,
Symington and Adlai E. Stev
enson, an inactive candidate
who was available for a third
nomination. But there al
ready were some rumbles of
trouble from the South, which
had supported Johnson al
most unanimously.
Kennedy made his way
into the Sports Arena about
an hour after he had won
the nomination at 9:50 p.m.

Store, Service To
