Seven of Southern Leaders Not Unanimous in Choice of Kennedy Los Angeles -IUPD- Southern bolt and a slate of ninepend leaders were furious tcuay be cause they were swallowed against their will in the roar of acclamation for Sen. John F. Kennedy. "We vote unanimously not to be unanimous," reported Smith Carolina-but no one heard. Ire was directed at a fellow southerner. Gov. LeRoy Col lins of Florida, permanent chairman of the Democratic national convention. Against Wishes It was charged that Collins refused to recognize them and thereby gave Kennedy the Democratic presidential nomination by acclamation against the wishes of the southern states' The most bitter protest came from Mississipi which not only wanted no part of the acclamation vole but also wanted to change its ballot from Gov. Ross Barnett to Senate Majority Leader Lyn don B. Johnson. CnlUnm Rafusal Barnett and Sens. James O. Eastland and John C. Stennis pulled Collins off the platform . . . i 1, ; rt on- and pieaaea wm, unit y nounce pudiiciy inai iviuauaip- pi wanted to swiicn irom favorite son nomination to Johnson and not to Kennedy. Collins flatly refused. In a four-way huddle at the foot of a staircase, Stennis tried to impress Collins with the need of clearing the rec ord. "Who's going to campaign for the ticket in Mississippi if it isn't us?" Stennis asked Collins. "Who's going to cam paign? We can't campaign on that record in Mississippi." Only two hours earlier Mis sissippi, disgusted and re noilprf Viv the civil rights plat form, was on the verge of walking out of the convention before finally deciding to vote for Barnett. Persuaded to Stay fieoreia Gov. Ernest Van- diver said Roy Harris, staunch segregationist from Augusta, Ga., went to the Mississippi caucus at his request and per suaded the Mississippi dele gates to stay. "No, no, no," Sen. Olin D. Johnston of South Carolina roared into a microphone in a vain attempt to tell Collins that South Carolina did not want to join the stampede for Kennedy. Then he turned to the South Carolina delegation and took a poll. "We vote unanimous ly not to be unanimous," he announced. He telephoned the clerk but it was too late. Southern Conventions Judge T. C. Almon, chair man of the Alabama delega tion, shoved his way up the aisle and toward an exit. "No, no, we didn't want io be part of it," Almon said. "But they wouldn't recognize us." Gov. Buford Ellington of i Tennessee said the same - "I didn't have a ciance. I couldn't get recognized." The rumblings of a party ent electors increased with the nomination of Kennedy. Sen. Strom Thurmond, the states' rights candidate in 1948, said the South Carolina convention would be recon vened. Barnett said even before Kennedy was nominated that he felt the Mississippi conven tion would be recalled to de termine a course of action. infU.S. Discuss Bases Washington IUPD - Diplo matic sources said today that President Eisenhower and British Prime Minister Har old Macmillan were, in touch with each other Wednesday on the posibility of amend ing the 1951 Anglo-American bases in Britain agreement. It was indicated they ex changed messages rather than telephone calls. The development followed charges by Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev that an American plane the Russians shot down off Kola Peninsula July 1 was based on Britain. Eisenhower and Macmillan were reported to have dis cussed whether the agree ment should be amended so Britain can be fully informed beforehand of all U.S. Air Force reconnaissance flights from British bases. Little difficulty was expect ed in arriving at a satisfacto ry arrangement. The State Department was said to be fully aware of the type of amendment the British want.

Don't Mean Lower Taxes The lower assessment ra tios do not necessarily mean lower taxes. Multnomah county's as signed ratio shows the great est change over last year.
