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.

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

differences, and a conference

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.

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.
