By the time this appeal's in print, the Demo cratic nominee for President of the United States will barring something completely unforeseen be known. But the proceedings of the first two days of the convention indicate that Harry Truman's al legation that it is "rigged" is nothing more than an allegation, and an iffy one, at that. It depends on what you mean by "rigged." Kennedy worked as hard as any man ever did for the nomination, entering and winning primaries, stumping m every corner of the coun try, and movinir coldly and, when necessary. ruthlessly, toward his goal. DUT yesterday's apparent waning of his total delegate strength, the stirring demonstration when Adlai Stevenson entered the convention hall, the rather obvious disaffection and resent ment of many delegates toward Kennedy these testify both to Kennedy's hard work, and to the fact that the convention could blow wide apart. The answer will (probably) be known when this is read. But as of this writing the issue is still in doubt, and the supporters of Lyndon Johnson, Stuart Symington and, of course. Adlai Steven son, are still holding their breath and hoping against hope. E.A.

The Mail Tribune press broke down yesterday and some 2,500 papers were eight hours late in being delivered. 20 YEARS AGO July 14. 1940 (Sunday) A 10-year-old CCC enrollee was shot and seriously wound ed yesterday in the little town of Merrill, Ore.; his as sailant has not yet been ap-.- prehended. From Arthur Perry's "Ye Smudge Pot" column: "Herb Hoover, GOP leader, passed through this city headed for the wilds of the Deschutes this week. Quite a few approved the idea, but maintain it is not far enough." SO YEARS AGO July 14. 1930 (Monday) Medford will benefit from the reduced freight rates which have been lowered to meet water competition. The farm co-op here shows a profit for the first six months. 40 YEARS AGO July 14, 1920 (Wednesday) Chester Conklin, film co median, will appear in person on the Page theater stage. Tourist travel to Crater Lake remains high despite a walkout of lodge employees. B0 YEARS AGO July 14, 1910 (Thursday) The Jacksonville city coun cil has called a special elec tion to vote on a $30,000 bond Issue which would provide the city with a new gravity water cystem. The swimming pool at the new natatorium here opened today, but the bowling alleys, billiard room, Turkish bath and other facilities will not be ready for another month. Oregonians have been killed on the state's highways at a rate slightly higher than one each day so far in 1960. Most of the deaths were unnecessaiy. A writer in the current Harper's magazine has a plan which, he thinks, could cut the nation's traffic deaths by one-third, or maybe more. The plan is predicated on the fact that only 4 per cent of all drivers are responsible for 36 per cent of all traffic deaths. Another 15 per cent are responsible for the other 64 per cent. And the remaining 81 per cent of the drivers cause no traffic fatalities. They just drive along, taking every precaution for their own and others' safety, and dodging the maneuvers of the 4 and 15 per cent who are killers. PARENTHETICALLY, it's amazing how often It's about that number of young people who get tagged as "juvenile delinquents." That num ber of drivers who cause a disproportionate share of accidents. And so on. And we'd be prepared to make a small wager that there is a whole lot of overlapping between the membership in these small-percentage groups. Dennis the 'It's callzo 'ironin rrfe 5miethin' ya GOTTA 00 IF WRINKtESVIAKE VA NERVOUS.' Today & Tomorrow By Walter lippmann Walter LlQpman KENNEDY (Monday) Since the West Virginia primary there has been only one man who might conceiv a bl y have stopped Ken edy. That man was Adlai Ste venson who towers above all other avall- a b 1 e Demo crats in his knowledge of the world, in his practical experience of di plomacy, and in his personal prestige in every continent. Johnson, for all his shrewd ness and skill as a legislative manager, is not a genuine al ternative to Kennedy. For Johnson knows little of the outer world. When Stevenson refused to become an active candidate and to participate in a combi nation to stop Kennedy, the opposition had no genuine candidate. The only way that Kennedy can now be stopped would be by some kind of maneuver in i which the prospects of the THE question to which the Harper's writer ad- , party November were sa 1 dresses himself is, how can this small per- thedlfearKYnnedyTd6" What's Your I.Q.?

What can be1 retain the control of the done to curb their depredations on the highways; Obviously, there are not enough police of ficers in the land to patrol every highway and street all the time. So he suggests that a new type of official be designated a Traffic Warden. These officials would be reputable, compe tent, reliable people, quite a number in each com munity, serving without pay. Their duties would be to observe and report, on forms provided, the license numbers of traffic offenders. They would make no arrests; pass no judg ments; draw no morals; formally accuse no one. DUT, if one license number began to draw a substantial number of such reports, an officer would be assigned to investigate. And if, then, violations continued, the offender would be ar rested and charged in the usual way. Would such a plan be sneaky? Would the wardens be "spies"? That's a matter of interpretation, again. But all police work involves a certain amount of ob servation and deduction, and this would simply be an extension of the informational activities of the existing, duly-constituted police depart ments. No one s rights would be jeopardized, in asmuch as existing legal safeguards would still be used. 'THE effect, the writer believes (and we're in- clined to agree) would be salutary. , The sight of a police car always tends to slow down speeding vehicles. And, when every car on the highway is a potential adjunct of the police authority, the jerks, squirrels and chickens who now menace the inoffensive driver, might think twice before taking some of their shocking chances with their own and others' lives. It would tend to speed up the present work of the motor vehicles department's division of drivers license review, which can remove a driver's license for good and sufficient reason. And, as the dangerous 4 per cent, and the careless and unthinking 15 per cent, are slowed down, or removed from the highway, traffic ac cidents and deaths would decrease. i "NE death per day in Oregon traffic is too much. One hundred per day in United States traffic is too much. Anything which comports with our ideas of justice and responsible conduct, and which would tend to reduce this fearful toll, is worth thinking about. It's worth trying. If it doesn't work, it can be abandoned. If it does, it will save many lives which otherwise will be lost, as sure as traffic will continue to in crease. E.A, party in the hands of the Old Guard, among them Mr. Tru man. STEVENSON'S decision, which cleared the way for Kennedy, was determined by his feelings and by his judg ment. Stevenson is a great gentle man for whom, having twice been nominated, it would have been unseemly to scramble for a third nomina tion. It was clear too that while the professional politi cians might have been com pelled to accept him again, they would have done so un willingly and in a defeatest spirit. At the same time, there was Kennedy with his youth, his sharp and trained intelli gence, and his undoubted popular magnetism. As Ken nedy has matured, he has out grown many of the mistakes and vacillations of his youth, and today his position in do mestic and foreign affairs is substantially the same as Ste venson's. As Kennedy has de veloped his ideas In his cam paigning he has proved him self to be an unusually effec tive organizer and a natural leader of men. There is little doubt today that more than any other available candi date, he can rally the large diverse masses of the Demo cratic party, and that if it comes down to infighting, Nixon will know he has been in a fight. - T IS plain to all observers, to Gallup and Lubbell and others, that the deepest con cern of the American people is with foreign affairs. They are looking for leadership knowing, because they feel It in their bones, that things .re going very wrong, that Ameri can influence is declining in , Asia, in Africa, and in Latin America while the Soviet in fluence is rising. The people could find that leadership in the Republican party if it' had the sense to nominate Governor Rocke feller. They can now find It in the Democratic party under Kennedy and the men, such as Stevenson, Bowles, Hum phrey, and Symington, who will be near him, THESE party loaders know that in order to stand up to Khrushchev a lot more Is needed than to sass him back. There must be power and In fluence to stand up to Khru shchev. The power cannot be gen erated by running the econ omy in low gear and pretend ing to believe that the country cannot afford to arm itself fully or to educate its ch.II dren properly or to satisfy its public needs. The influence cannot be generated unless this country, by the vigor and imagination of its own development, be comes again, as It was under Wilson and Roosevelt and In deed In the 19th century gen- erally, a model of what dem ocracy can do. There are some among us who seem to think that the way to deal with Khrushchev Is to be as rude as he is, and to rattle the rocket as he does. Any fool can be rude to Khru shchev, and Washington is full of ghost writers who can write rude statements. But we are not suffering from a lack of rudeness in our pol icy. What we are suffering from is a failure to attract enough friends among the masses of the people of Asia and Africa and of Latin America. fTHlS is only too evident in the fracas with Castro. The Kennedy Nomination Poses Big Question: Can a Roman Catholic Win Presidency? By LYLE C. WILSON Sports Arena, Los Angeles 'I The Democratic Party has put the big tough question to the voters of- this nation iignin can a Roman Catho lic bo elected president? This ques tion whs posed last In 1!2 with the nomi nation of Al fred E. Smith, New York Demucrnt, to op pose Herbert Hoover, lowu- born Republican. Smith whs h Roman Catholic. Ho lost. There were other Issues, but ri C IVIUtm controlling fact Is that under the treaty signed with our Latin American neighbors, signed at their insistence, we have renounced altogether the right to intervene In Cuba or to take coercive measures. If Castro Is u menace to the peace of the hemisphere, measures can be taken against him only In collaboration with the Organization of American States. But, apparently, there are few Latin American states In which the people are with us and against Castro, and there are few governments which would not foar our return to the policy of intervention more than they fear the ti rades and the intrigues of Castro. IT WAS not always like that. It was not like that under Roosevelt who, though he did mighty little In n material sense for Latin America, was a popular idol. It would not, I think, be like that If Steven son were the Secretary of State. For in Latin America, as his recent tour demon stated, his prestige with the masses and with the govern ing intellectuals is much great er than that of any other American. The way for a country to restore its Influence Is to in crease its power and to en large its sympathies so that it is respected, so that it understands and is under stood. Juding by one long talk I have had with Kennedy, I would say that he knows the score. (c) 1960 New York Herald Tribuna Inc. AI Smith's religion wiih an angry Issue In the 1D2R cam paign. Whether Sen. John F. Ken nedy's religion will be nu Is sue, hot or cool, In the 10110 presidential campaign re mains to be seen. There Is no doiihl, however, that Ken nedy's religion was an Issue In (his Democratic National Convention, mostly sub-surface, but It was here. Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt raised It In her first anti-Kennedy broadcast this week. Mrs. Roosevelt sought the nomination of Adlai E. Ste venson. In furthering that project, she warned the dele gates that Kennedy's religion might cost htm votes. Persistently reported from Pennsylvania during (ho long pro-convention shuffling was this: that Gov. David L.

Khrushchev Scores Important Points in Propaganda Battle By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Forolgn Editor It is difficult to escape the uncomfortable conclusion that Nlklta Khrushchev has scor ed some Im portant points In the lust week In his all - out propn g a n d a cam paign ngulnst the United States. He has pressed force fully his cam paign to oust U.S. Influence In Latin Amer ica, wherein ho Is being loud ly aided and abetted by Fidel Castro of Cuba. MILKWrlUM Then there also has been the Incident of tho U.S. Air Force HU47 reconnaissance plane shot down by Russia over tho Barents Sea. The latter Is n point for Khrushchev only In that It long has been established that the truth seldom catches up to the big lie.

In the last 24 hours before the California caucus on Sunday, it was on-agaln Saturday morning, oft-again Saturday night, on-again Sun day morning. And after Brown finally kept his pro mise at the caucus, the Gov ernor went on a television show, and publicly took back about half what he hod just said to the California delegates. F classic ton trait between hard - heads and addle pates. But af ter this Dem ocratic ton- vention, the old Bible story may joskpii alsop wcu De r e placed by the story of the wise and foolish politicians. Pennsylvania's owlish Gov. David Lawrence and the pow erful Mayor Richard Daley of Chicago have turned In per formances that deserve a per manent place in a "how to" book for budding politicos. Gov. "Pat" Brown of Cali fornia and Gov. Robert Mey ner of New Jersey have met all the requirements of these manuals' "how not to" de partments, with truly glorious maladroitness. Meanwhile, the organiza tion of Sen. John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts has also dealt with these four mag nates in a way that deserves a separate chapter, perhaps best entitled, "How to Get Your Way With Politicians, Both Bone - headed and Smart." GOVERNOR Brown, to be nin was mnmenlnrllv In all the headlines because he at last let the shoe drop. He has said he is for Kennedy. But he has done this fn a way that has reduced his credit and Injured his prestige to the utmost limit. Long ago, when there was a question of Kennedy's enter ing the California primary, Governor Brown made a hard and fast commitment to join the Kennedy camp If tho Massachusetts Senator just left California alone and won all the other primaries. Since the Kennedy victory In Ore gon, the hard, bleak fact of this commitment has con tinuously stared poor Brown In the face. His response has resembled the behavior of Chuchundra, the timid mus krat In Kipling's "Rlkkl Tlkkl Tavl," who never dared ven ture Into tho middle of a room, and always scuttled round and round the walls, walling the while, In other words, the unhap py Brown came within an ace of keeping his promise to Kennedy at least a dozen times, and then backed away at the last instant because he A DEAR, good man, but just a mite Indecisive, Is now the political community's ver dict of Brown. But contrast the political community's ver dict on Gov. David Lawrence of Pennsylvania, who would dearly like to 'have stopped Kennedy but found that this operation was impractical. In effect, Governor Law rence explored all the alter natives to Kennedy with methodical care, over a period of many months. But he kept his own council, and he re tained his freedom of man euver. He was not flurried, even when Kennedy began to make important gains, un authorized by Lawrence, In the Pennsylvania delegation Itself. He still had a lot to offer when he majestically descended from his plane In Los Angeles, with Kennedy emissaries and representatives of Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas frisking around the ramp like eager spaniels. The Lawrence choice was intimated there and then, when he chose the chief old pro of the Kennedy camp, the astute John Bailey of Con necticut, as his companion for the long drive into town, In a business-like way, but still without making any firm commitment, Lawrence there upon went to work on the con vention situation with the other pro - Kennedy profes sionals, Mayor Richard Daley of Chicago, David T, Wllcntz of New Jersey, and Carmine DiSapio and Michael Prender gast of New York. There was great joy In the Kennedy camp when tho word went round that "Dave Law rence Ib going to be all right." Even so, It was not until Sat urday evening that Lawrence told Senator Kennedy In plain terms, that he really won go ing to bo all right. Great re lief, considerable gratitude, and genuine respect for tho tough old realist of Harris burg, wero the reactions to this major event.

Destiny To the Editor: At the turn of the Twentieth Century our grade teacher admonished us students to "never look back wards," but forever to face the future Intricacies of life. Which brings to memory the promises men live by, all through one's varied lifetime of experience and learning. There were two landowners living side by side In the long forgotten years, so the story goes, that made a promise that as long as they lived apart and any of their stock or fowl trespassed on the others domain, the same would be shot and thrown over the owner's fence. After a long and quiet lapse of time without much excitement, one of the free-holders became rather uneasy about the other side of the fence. Upon taking aging his affairs In an exactly contrary manner. Many months ago, Kennedy made enormous inroads In the New Jersey delegation, which was officially pledged to Meyner as a favorite son. Meyner had the option of running to the head of the procession, and thereby making a very com fortable best of a business he did not much like. But instead of imitating tho Pennsylvania Governor's ex ample, the New Jersey Gover nor almost hysterically clung to the "privilege of having hla name presented to the con vention" - as though an em pty nominating speech and a phony, feeble demonstration on tho convention floor were worth what Meyner will un doubtedly pay for them. As for Mayor Daley 'of Chi cago, he always wanted lo be for Kennedy, but he also wanted to be shown that Ken nedy was as good as he sus pected. "The atmosphere Is very good," was the Kennedy camp's only report from Chi cago, for months after anxious months.', Then, Just a few weeks before the convention itself, Daley decided he had been shown enough, and he made his commitment, But he told no one but Kennedy, because he wanted time for the musslve, rock solid line up of his delegation which he finally achieved. Thus one can predict with great assurance that in a Ken nedy White House, the red carpet will always be out for Daley nnd Lawrence, whilo Brown and Meyner may per haps be uslted to a tourist lea. Such are the practical rewards of political wisdom and political folly.

The U.S. Monroe Doctrine has "outlived Itself, outlived Its usefulness nnd died a net urnl death," Khrushchev pro claimed this week.
