San Francisco Seen As Possibility for Political Conclaves
Washington - lUPli -Both po
litical parties are reported
eyeing San Francisco as a
strong contender for their
1964 presidential conventions,
but neither will make its
choice until next month.
The Democraigvere said to
be leaning toward San Fran
cisco and Atlantic City, al
though party leaders still are
awaiting a firm offer from
Chicago.
Chicago already appears to
be the strongest rival of San
Francisco for the Republican
meeting.
Neither party has ruled out
any bidding cities, however.
Try and Stop Me
-By BENNETT CERF-
i lied
IT WAS THE great Jewish humorist, Sholom Aleichem,
who observed, "The only chance poor man has for re
joicing is when he loses one of his pitiful possessions then
find) it again." He tells
of one such character who
recounted to a group of
sympathizers how h 1 s
wife and children were
pursued by wolves over
an icy lake, how the ice
cracked, and sleigh and
passengers sank without
a trace. "Thanks to the
Lord," concluded the nar
rator with a sigh, "there
is one good feature to the
story. It's a lie from be
ginning to end!"
Tha Missouri Bureau of
Health has betn looking Into the death certificates filed by some
of its registered doctors In the past year, and has come up with
some weird notations therein. One doctor, for instance, solemnly
gave ss "cause of death," "The deceased went to bed feeling fine,
but woke tip dead." Another explained a patient's df mlse even
more tersely. "He died suddenly; nothing serious." A third doctor
had this to report: "Death induced by blow on the head with
an axe. Contributory cause: another man's wife."
Candid observation by John O'Reilly on the occasion of his
first tour of the Museum of Natural History:
"I admit this la a wonderful world
But I'd prefer a, place more liberally girled."

Detroit, Philadelphia and Mi
ami Beach are still in the run
ning for both conventions,
while Baltimore has made a
bid to the Democrats and Dal
las is seeking the GOP meet
ing. Meot in June
The Republican decision
will bo made by the party's
national committee when it
meets June 21 in Denver. The
Democrats plan to meet in
Washington June 26 to make
their site selection.
Cooling of relations be
tween the Kennedy adminis
tration and the Cuban refugee
groups in Florida was report
ed to have caused the Demo
crats to lose interest in Mi
ami Beach. Racial tension in
the South also discouraged
tiiem.
Atlantic City has transpor
tation problems because its
airport is unable to handle jet
planes. The Democrats have
found, however, that a near
by jctpnrt could accomodate
special flights.
The Republicans expect to
hold their convention well
doubtedly will renominate
President Kennedy, plan a
mid-August convention.
Says Goldwater Leads
A Republican leader said
Sunday that Sen. Barry Gold
water of Arizona had "more
hard support than anybody"
for the GOP presidential nom
ination but no contender had
it sewed up.
The statement came from
ahead of the Democratc be- i Sen. Thruston Morton (Ky.)
cause the GOP is not renonv
inatins an incumbent presi
dent and will need more time
to build up its candidate. GOP
leaders wi.nt their convention
to start July 13, 1964, or July
20. 1964.
The Democrats, who un-
furmcr GOP national chair
man. Morton noted that Gold
water's support was in a rel
atively few states while New
York Gov. Nelson A. Rocke
feller had "a lot of support
in many parts of the country."
Morton said he believed
Rockefeller's divorce and re
marriage "well could be an as
set" and that his reelection
as New York governor in 1962
indicated the divorce was no
political handicap.
A newspaper poll of Repub
lican convention delegates
also showed strong support
for Goldwater. The poll, con
ducted by tlic Indianapolis
News, showed 3?9 GOP dele
gates favoring Goldwater, 244
for Rockefeller, 24 for Michi
gan Gov. George Romncy and
scattered support for others.
The newspaper, in announc
ing the results today, said the
ballots were sent in mid-April
to 1,331 delegates and replies
were received from 707.

twecn automobile and motor
scooter, lie prospered from
these, but yearned for planes.
TliHl'a when he took his tal
ents to Spain and Egypt.
Still thp professor wasn't
satisfied. His colleagues say
his grandest dreams still lie
in Germany and it was for
Germany he designed the
VJ101. So anxio was ho to
make this plane for the father
land that he even submerged
his traditional rivalry with
such plane-makers as Hcinkcl
and Boelkow, and joined with
them in developing the new
jet.
"For the first time in Ger
man aviation history," a
spokesman for the thrco firms
said, "we are pooling our re
sources and our brains to pull
this off. It is history."
Born June 26. 1080, the
son of a well to do Frankfurt
wine merchant, Messerschmitt
as a boy avidly followed the
development of aircraft and
the exploits of the American
Wright brothers. Ho studied
engineering and in 1023
founded the Messerschmitt
Aircraft Construction com
pany. The company's title was al
most bigger than its bankroll,
and was limited then under
the post World War I Ver
sailles Treaty to making
gliders and 'sports planes.
Messerschmitt pioneered In
design, built swift racers and
made a fortune. The business
floundered in the depression
of the early 1930 s, then start-
i ed up again when Hitler came
lo power.
Quietly, at his Augsburg
plane "-the plane that became
' ioned a radically new "sports
planc"-lhc plan that became
the ME109, the backbone of
Hitler's blitz warfare. Pro
fessor Willy worked on and
'developed the ME110, Her-
j mann Goerlng's fearsome
night fighter plane.
j And then, inevitably, the
Messerschmitt Jets.
For a strange reason, the
ME110 was almost Messcr.
schmltt's undoing with the
Nazis. It was one of those
planes, with extra fuel tanks,
that Deputy Fuehrer Rudolf
Hess flew to Britain In 1041 In
his muddled attempt at peace
making. The professor had
helped Hess with the extra
tanks, at the Insistence of Hess
himself. When word of the
flight became known, Hitler
and Goering were furious
with their plane-maker.
Later Messerschmitt re
called a stormy scene with
Goering at the Augsburg fact
ory. The fat marshal, "In one of
his fancy uniforms," came
roaring to the protessor shout
ing: "Apparently with you,
Hcrr Messerschmitt, every
body can fly planes!"
Messerschmitt: "What do
you mean?"
Goering: "Hess!"
Messerschmitt: "But Herr
Reichmarshal, Hess is not
everybody."
Should Have Inquired
Goering: "You should have
made inquiries before giving
a plane to that man!"
Mcsscrs c h m 1 1 1: "If you
came to my factory, would
you have to ask the Fuehrer
first?"
Goering: "That's different.
I am the air marshal!"
Messerschmitt: "And Hess,
Hitler's deputy."
Goering: "You should have
seen that he was crazy!"
Messerschmitt: "How am I
to know a nut would have
such a high post?"
Goering, said Messer
schmitt, stomped away. No
answer.
That was a long time ago.
Professor Willy, the plane
designing genius, survived
and Goering did not. And now
there's a new Messerschmitt
warplane the Hcrr Reichs
marshal couldn't have
dreamed of. Professor Willy
and his colleagues hope to sell
It to NATO.
