Newspaper Page Text0 WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28. 19W MEPTPHP WAIL TRIBUNE. WEDfono, Switch of 303,767 Votes Seen deeded for Kennedy To ma (50P Party Unity Seen To Prevail Over Split Demos By JAMES C. ANDERSON Sacramento r- IUPD - Gov. Edmund G. Brown shed his coat and shoes, loosened his tie, settled back in the seat of his Air National Guard transport "Grizzly" and sum med up California's president ial election prospects this way: "All we have to do is switch 303,767 votes to make Ken nedy a winner - and I think there are many Democrats out here who don't like Nixon but did like Ike." The Democratic governor's size-up was made to this cor respondent after Sen. John F. Kennedy's recent whistle-stop tour of California. The Republican view of Nixon's chances in California is that GOP party unity will prevail over a divided Demo cratic party. Lacks Bipartisan Appeal . Brown's feeling, shared by several far western Democrat ic leaders, is that Richard M. Nixon lacks the bipartisan popular appeal of Dwight D. Eisenhower. They do not dis count Nixon's capabilities or his skill as a campaigner. But as B lawn pujt it: ' "Nobody is neutral about Nixon. People are for him or against him. I hope there are enough of them against him to put" Kennedy over." Kennedy, however, faces no easy task in California. Despite a 3-to-2 edge in Democratic registration, the Eisenhower-Nixon ticket won in 1956 by 607,533 votes. Nix on is popular in his home state and he has a dedicated organization here, skilled in political campaigns. He also enjoys considerable newspa '. per support and strong finan cial backing. Nixon is well known as a - fx .

IUPI Telephoto) native son wnile Kennedy's Boston accent marked him in his tour through the farm areas as an easterner. The Republicans feel, and they cite as the authority Ken nedy's brother, Ted, that Cali fornia Democrats are not solidly behind Kennedy. The Republican organization on the other hand, was and is hand-picked by Nixon and Republican voters and, bar ring a handful of Rockefeller supporters, appears to be with him all the way. Ted Kennedy recently, de scribed California and New York as the two key states in the presidential contest. While conceding that there are infra-party splits in Cali fornia, Kennedy said he felt the various elements would unite if for no other reason than on the common ground of their dislike of Nixon. The division in the Demo cratic party in California was apparent to the entire nation at the Los Angeles conven tion when the slate's delega tion split almost. 50-50 be tween Adlai Stevenson and Kennedy. Brown supported Kennedy but he couldn't car ry his own delegation with him. Nor was the nomination of Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson as Kennedy's running mate an unqualified success with the liberal element in the party, notably the California Demo cratic Council (CDC), an or ganization of 50,000 grass roots Democrats whose influ ence has been increasing in the past five years. But the mutterings and Eight Persons Die of Accidental Poisoning Portland-llOT-Eight persons died out of 411 in Oregon who were accidentally poi soned last year. The Oregon Poison Con trol Registry Office said 315 of tlie cases were children less than 5 years old. The city of Portland had 212 of the cases. grumblings over the Demo cratic ticket appear to have subsided and there is now at least a surface show of unity behind Kennedy. Nixon's problem in captur ing the state's 32 electoral votes appears to lie in the fact that there has been a pronounced Democratic trend in California since 1956. Two years ago, Brown swamped Republican William F. Knowland in the guberna torial fight by more than a million votes. Both houses of the Legisla ture, Republican for 20 years, now are controlled by sub stantial Democratic majori ties. And the state's congres sional delegation, 18-11 Re publican in 1952, now stands at 16-14 Democratic. However, Republicans claim the pendulum is swing intt hnrk that Brown's oer- sonal popularity has decreas ed during his two years in of fice and that Republican for tunes are on the upswing. Edge in Los Angeles Los Angeles city and coun ty is the major target in the campaign. There. Nixon has .mi rriL'e. He was raised in Los Angeles county, where 40 per cent of the vote is, ana it w:is there that he wased successful campaigns for Con gross, the U. S. Senate and twice for vice president. Ki-nneriv. in his first major sortie into his opponent's back yard, packed the Shrine au ditorium for a speech. He had iun imin nf such entertain ment stars as Frank Sinatra. Gene Kelly, Tony Curtis ana Ella Fitzgerald. Nixon, delayed by a knee infetcion from launching his campaign, did not hit Cali fornia until after Kennedy's whistle-stop tour. Then, he drew 40,000 persons to ban Francisco's Union Square. Slate Seen Toss-Up While leaders of botn par tics confidently predict vic tory for their man in Novem ber, their off-the-record as sessment Ms up to the fact it is a to.-,s-up right now in the Golden slate. Barring the injection of a stimulating issue in the next few weeks, the California camgaign boils down to a popularity contest. As one wag put it: "The winner in California will be cither John F. Nixon or Richard M. Kennedy."
