f4 In The- Day's km By FRANK JENKINS In this SDace vesterdav il m noted that President Kennedy is planning 10 visit Ireland next month but won't include the vil lage of Blarney in his tour, and won't kiss the famous Stone. As explained bv Presidential Press Secretary Salinger, the ac robatics involved in kissing the ciarney Atone are a bit too vig orous to be risked in view of the President s lame back. Most of us, 1 think, will aglet with the wisdom of his decision. But- ln his upcoming campaign for reelection. President Kennedy isn't eschewing all vigorous stunts' as may be gathered from the following dispatch from Los Angeles: "President Kennedy will do a $100,000 'table-hopping' task on June 7 for the benefit of the ' Democratic National Committee's 1964 activities in his reelection campaign. "Instead of a public fund-raising dinner and address, the Presi dent will attend a $l.000-a-couple dinner limited to 100 couples in the swank Beverly Hilton hotel, according to Eugene L. Wyman, Democratic State Chairman. "Wyman, who is in charge of the dinner planning, said there will be no speakers table but in stead there will be a VACANT SEAT at each table. The Presi dent, during the dinner, will 'hop' from table to table for brief con versations and some food." That is to say: At each of tile tables occupied by these 100 couples, there will be a vacant seat. How many ta bles there will be isn't stated. But, since each couple will be pay ing $1,000 for the privilege of say ing casually to their Iriends "Now when we were at the Presi dent's table at the dinner the other night, he said to us, etc.," it must be assumed that there mustn't be TOO MANY people at each table. If it is to be worth what it costs, it must be kept on the cozy side. Let's say ten couples at each tabic. That would be ten tables alto gether. So You see- In the process of singing for his supper (as did Little Tommy Tucker) the President of the Unit cd States will be called upon to go from table to table until he has made the rounds of all ten. And- At each table He must come up with some thing NEW for it must be re membered that these 100 couples will tell all about it to their friends for weeks to come. The impression would be very bad if at each table he said the SAME THINGS. That just WOULDN'T DO He must think up something dif ferent to each table. It just might be that kissing the Blarney Stone would be less wearing on the President's physical resources Ah, me! One can't help wondering what George Washington would h a v said if it had been suggested to him that less than two centuries later the President of the United Slates would have to indulge in stunts like that in order to be re nominated and reelected to a second term. His response might have been on the vivid side for despite the impression conveved by the Gil- j'.iert Sluart portrait the Father of His Country possessed an earthy vocabulary when he wanted to use it.

High Court Splits On Taped Evidence WASHINGTON" UPI' - Thei bribery conviction of a Massa- husetts restaurant operator has caused the Supreme Court to split sharply over the admission evidence of recorded conver sations. A six-man majority affirmed the conviction of German S. Lopez of North Falmouth for bribing an internal revenue agent, even thouzh the agent was carry ing a minifon recorder, which later was played in court. Justice John M. Harlan said the Internal Reenue Service used the devire "only to obtain the most reliable evidence pos sible in which the government's own agent was a participant and which that agent was fully en titled In disclose." "Tlie device was not planted by means ol an unlawful phsica! invasion of ' Lopez' i premises under circumstances which would violate tlie Fourth Amendment." Harlan said. The Fourth Amend ment bars unreasonable searches and seizures. "This case involves no eaves dropping' whatever in any proper sense of lhat term." Harlan added Takes Oppoute Mr Justice Wiiiiam J.

A source close to Wallace said the governor would not "under any circumstances" appear at the hearing next Monday in Birming ham. U.S. marshals Monday served papers on a Negro maid at the executive mansion in an elfort to assure the governor's- court ap pearance. Wallace staunchly disagreed with Justice Department oflicials in Washington who indicated the serving of the subpoena constitut ed proper service. W allace said the maid is a con vict who works at the executive mansion and whose civil rights were removed because of a felony conviction. "ft is ridiculous that they Uhe marshals I served a Negro maid in my house." Wallace said. "Civ illy, she's dead." A source close to the governor said W allace would not attend the hearing because he contends the federal court does not have juris diction in the case and for him to attend the hearing "would make it appear that the governor recognizes such jurisdiction. The source said, however, that Wallace's attorneys could appear in the federal court as a "special party" and make motions for dis missal of the case on grounds the court has no jurisdiction.

The high court ruled in 128 in a famous ca that wiretapping did not constitute an unreason able search.

New Constitution Defeated In Senate SALEM i UPI i The slow move ment of a new constitution to ward the voters of Oregon was halted in the Senate today by three votes. Senators voted 17-13 in favor of the document. It needed two thirds, or 20, to pass. The action seemed to spell the final, and unsurn.ountable. ob stacle for the constitution this ses sion. Its supporters, however, felt the long work on the document by a commission and then by legisla live committees was not com pletely lost. The draft remains. It was pos sible its strongest advocates in the state would try to seek a con stitutional convention. If not, leg islators said the proposal would get more attention, and probably be further revised and sent on to the voters at the 1965 legislature. Sen. Harry Boivin, one of the 17 senators to vote against the proposed constitution, said to day he was not satisfied with portions of the document relat ing to apportionment and the executive department. Senator Boivin said he favors addition, al study of the document over the next two years to develop more favorable plans in these and other objectionable areas In the proposal. The document went down to de feat in the Senate over its provi sion for a strong executive branch headed by a governor as the stale's single elective executive officer. Earlier, the Senate rejected the document over legislative appor tionment. A compromise swung eight voles to it today, but others switched away from it to spell its de.'eat. Only 12 out of 30 senators voted for the document last week. Eight senators voted against it because it contained the "appor tionment plan of Sen. Anthony Ylurri, R Ontario. Their votes could have made the difference. Then the Senate agreed to res cue the document and return it to committee, vyhere the i'Yturri plan" was modified. Both sides Transplant Patient Dies DENVER i UPI i William Grigs- by, who for three weeks survived a precedent-setting operation to give him a new liver, lost a bat tle with pneumonia Monday night and died. Tlie 47 year-old Denver County Jail janitor was the first human to live through a delicate liver transplanting, patterned after a series of successlul kidney trans plants at Denver in recent months. Ifis doctors had hoped he would continue to improve, but he con tracted pneumonia last weekend in his sterilized room at the Vet crans Administration Hospital. An autopsy was ordered, and the results were expected today. One of tlie surgeons involved in the case said tlie cause of death was not determined definitely. but as near as we can tell, it was pneumonia. He said Grigsby was having no trouble with the liver, but had been "deteriorating" for 24 hours liefore his death, which occurred about midnight. EDT. I .... .'. .... . ; . , ;.- . i.-"' -' '.

Most of the rest of the Senate votes against the document were based on the article providing for a strong governor as tire sole statewide elective executive offi cer. The document also provide: (or a "watchdog" secretary of stale. These votes were not expected to change. With Senate passage, the con stitution would still face one more major hurdle before being sent on to the voters next May: The reso lution of differences with the House. The main one of these is ap portionment. The House passed version contained Oregon's pres ent plan of handing out legislative seats. Although the two plans are not too far apart, there are distinctive differences, and a conference committee probably would be nec essary. The constitution would replace Oregon's present one. written 106 years ago before Oregon became a state. The new one is less than half the length of the present one. Committee Approves Soles Tax SALEM (UPH The Senate Tax Committee Monday approved a 3 per cent sales tax measure which would be referred to the voters at the November, 1964, election. The vole was 6-1, with Sen. Ver non Cook, D-Gresham, the lone dissenter. The move was designed to ease opposition to the Senate - House conference committee revenue compromise. Cotifwe Sen. Glen Sladler, D Eugene, said he now felt the Sen-, ate would accept the conference report because the voters would be given a chance to express their views on a sales tax. House Minority Leader F. F Montgomery. R-Eugene. said the sales tax measure will "make the conference package palatable in the House. Montgomery said several House Democrats told him they would vote for it. House Republicans have favored a sales tax, but passage of a bill had been blocked by House Demo crats. The measure approved by the Senate committee Tuesday would exempt lood. drugs, feed. seed, fertilizer, and raw products used in manufacturing. The measure was proposed by Sen. Walter Pearson, D-Portland He said a sales tax would raise '$180 million a bionnium Half of this would be used" to offset properly taxes. 25 per cent would be used to offset personal income taxes, and the balance would go into the general fund. As Senate-House tax conferees met Monday to approve their compromise income-cigarette taxi program. Montgomery said he had been approached by "some House Democrats who sked that a sales tax referral be made a part of the compromise revenue package." COMP. DIV. pitted I -O III r VHJr- PAPAL SUCCESSORS CONSIDERED With Pope John XXIII lying seriously ill in the Vatican, the question of who will succeed him is being asked with new urgency all over the world. Here are five men who have been consistently mentioned as likely prospects. Left to right are Giovanni Battista Cardinal Montini, 65, the "liberal" Archbishop of Milan; Peter Gregory Cardinal Agagian ian, 67, the Armenian-born head of Catholic missionary activities; Giovanni Cardinal Urban!, 63, successor to Fears Felt For Pope John's VATICAN CITY UPH - Thei Vatican announced today that Pope John XXIII is suffering from an "abnormal growth" in the stomach, which medical sources said probably means he has cancer. Vatican sources said the 81-year-old Pope's condition was "critical" and there were fears for his life. An official communique said the Roman Catholic pontiff is continuing to suffer internal hem orrhages resulting from tlie "cte roplasia gastrica" or "gastric heteroplasy" which has afflicted him (or about a year. Etcroplasia is a Greek word meaning "abnormal growth.' Medical sources said the "gastric heteroplasy" could mean the Pope has stomach cancer. The wording of the commu nique appeared to be deliberately vague, but it was as close as tlie Vatican has come to saying that the aging Pope's ailment is can cer.

Bcnnette, secretary of tlie British Association for Can cer Research,- another leading cancer expert, said: "Gastric heteroplasy might be anything. It could mean cancer. Equally, it could not." The Pope first showed signs of his illness last Kovem ber, the Vatican described it as stomach trouble" and said the bleeding he suffered had caused severe anemia. The ailment forced the Pope into bed. and it generally was considered at the time to be a bleeding ulcer. But since then, there havo been numerous re ports that his trouble really was cancer. The'Vatican neitheu con firmed nor denied the reports. Six Talked To Succeed Pope Jofin VATICAN CITY UPI - A small group of cardinals fivo Italians and one Armenian have been consistently mentioned as possible successors to ailing Pojn John XXIII. Tlie question of succession has been asked, as wilh every Tope, almost from tlie time Pope John himself was elected In 1958 at the age of 76. Now, with the Pope lying seri ously ill in the Vatican, it is being asked with new urgency all over tlie world. The answer lies beyond the knowledge of any person, includ ing Pope John himself. The papacy docs not carry with it the right to choose one's own successor. The choice could fall to one of those considered leading contend ers or to someone whose name has not even como up. There is no way to foretell what the Col lege of Cardinals will do when meets in secret conclave to elect a new Pope. Probably the best example of the unpredictability of papal suc cession is Pope John himself. Almost no one had placed him among the "favorites" when live cardinals met in 195H In choose tlie successor to Pope Pius XII. The name mentioned most often i speculation now Is that of Giovanni Battista Cardinal Mon tini, live 65-year-old "liberal" archbishop of Milan. Death Penalty Ballot Slated SALEM (L'PI) Oregon voters will be asked to decide in Novem ber, 1964, whether they want to abolish the death penalty. A pair of measures to do this cleared the legislature today w hen the House accepted a House-Senate conference committee report.
