PAGE FOURTEEN HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Ore. Monday, Feb. B, 1960 Partisans See Johnson Win lltX1 WASHINGTON (UPI) - Can Senate Democratic Leader Ly don B. Johnson win enough na tional convention support from the big, pivotal slates to capture h party's presidential nomination? Democrats who want to noroin ate him for the presidency do not yet have a convincing answer to this question. However, Johnson partisans be lieve he can manage a civil rights bill this year so deftly that he will win applause from such politically important state: as New York, Pennsylvania, III nois and California. And they be lieve he can do so without offend ing the South, where he must look for his basic strength. America Rules Turbits Roost WASHINGTON (AP) - Ameri cans apparently have forged ahead of the British in a field where they once ruled the roost- in turbits. A turbit is a pigeon. But it is Dot an ordinary sort of pigeon. The new variety is reared by foster parents. Because the turbit normally has a very short beak, the young bird can't insert its beak into that of its parent lo get food as the ordinary pigeon baby docs. So breeders mate two turbits and two long-beaked birds of an other breed at the same time When the eggs arc laid, the breed ers switch them. Thus long beaked parents bring up the tur bits and short-beaked turbit par ents bring up the long-beaked youngsters. The turbit, a hard bird lo breed got started about two or three centuries ago and was highly de veloped in England in the last century. But according to the lop turbit breeder in the country, in the last 50 or 60 years the Americans have changed the bird, using dif ferent standards from the Eng lish. "We feel we've gone way ahead of them," said Philip h. Roof of nearby Hyattsvillc, Md. Roof Is executive assistant to the architect of the United Stales Capitol, a building with a few pigeon problems. Roof isn't exactly enthusiastic about the common old type of pigeon. They're the same the world over, he said, from the U.S Capitol dome to the sun-baked vil lage squares of India. But show birds that's another mailer. Root lias been breeding furbils for 20 years and has won the grand national championship for the last 10 or H years except one year when he was a judge. He raises about too young birds a year and says he knows them all individually, even from their coos if he can't see them. As a Texan, Johnson still wears a southern lahel unacceptable to many Democrats outside the South. But he is usually rated as a liberal among southerners and as a middle-of-the-roader in tb entire spectrum of the Democrat ic Party. Although he is not a declared candidate, Democrats generally expect him to make a serious bid for the nomination. His congress ional mentor and fellow Texan Speaker Sam Rayburn, is in com mand of a Johnson-for-president campaign. Unless his southern strength slips away before convention time Johnson can hope for a bloc ol about 400 delegate votes, includ ing support from border and west ern mountain slates, uniy sen John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.) ap pears lo have hopes for a larger bloc. The majority vole needed lo win the nomination win oe ibi. Woman Rescues Neighbor Family HOUSTON, Tex.
