Pacific Voyage Planned
On Raft Made Of Reeds
Bv the Assoeioted Press

LIMA, Peru, Nov. 6.-Another
raft voyage to Polynesia is in
the making, this time on a raft
made of reeds.
It is planned by three Peru
vians - Julio Orjeda. Wilfredc
Castro and Juan Aguilar-With
the help of Thor Heyerdahl,
Norwegian scientist who sailed
a balsa wood raft from Callao,
Peru, to the South Sea Isles in
1947.
Mr.. Heyerdahl, now in Lima,
has supplied funds to the Pc
ruvians to build raft made OF
reeds like the ones used by In
dians sailing on Lake Titicaca.
The Norwegian thinks such a
reed raft could Withstand the
long Pacific voyage. He bases
this belief on a conviction that
ancient Peruvian Indians trans
ported flve-ton rocks on reed
RATS when there were temples
along Titicaca shores.
William Willis of New York
outdistanced Mr.. Heyerdahl's
feat last month, arriving in Sa-
moa four months after leaving
Callao on a balsa wood raft.

Democrats 10 Pick
New Chairman in
New Orleans Dec. 4

The Democratic National Com
mittee has been called to meet
in New Orleans December 4.
Chairman Stephen A. Mitchell
announced yesterday. At that
meeting he will submit his resig-
nation as chairman and a new
chairman presumably win be
elected.
Mr.. Mitchell was the choice Of
Adlai Stevenson for the Office OF
national chairman to conduct
the presidential campaign OF
1852. Mr.. Mitchell has kept
the ONCE. but with the under
standing he would resign after
the congressional election of
1854. This plan is now being
carried out.
It is now rumored that Mr..
Stevenson. the titular head Of
the Democratic Party by virtue
Of his nomination for President
in 1852, will retire from the po-
litical field until 1856. Many
Of his supporters assume he viii
be a candidate for denomination
at that time, although this has
never been confirmed by Mr..
Stevenson.
Stevenson to Speak.
Mr.. Mitchell's announcement
stated that Mr.. Stevenson would
be the principal speaker at a
national Embarrassing Demo-
cratic dinner in New Orleans the
night of December 4.
Several prominent Democrats
have been mentioned as poten-
tial successors to Mr.. Mitchell as
national chairman. Among them
are National Committeeman Paul
M. Butler of Indiana; Oscar
Chapman, former Secretary of
the Interior; Michael Disable Of
Ohio; Thomas K. Finletter Of
New York, former Secretary of
Air: and Leslie Biffle. former
: Secretary Of the Senate.
Should the committee fail to
pick his successor, Mr.. Mitchell
would hold on to his present
Office until a later meeting. That,
however. Is not expected to be
necessary.
Rules Being Revised.
The Advisory Committee on
Rules will hold a meeting De-
cember 3, also in New Orleans.
This committee, headed by Mr..
Mitchell, has been struggling
with proposals for amending the
rules of the Democratic National
Committee and of the Democratic
National Convention. It is at
tempting to streamline conven-
ton procedures.
One thing it wishes to avoid
is another row over the so-called
loyalty oath" resolution adopted
at the national convention in
1852. It is also considering some
regulation of the use of tele-
vision when delegations are being
polled.
Democratic Senators and Rep
resentatives, Governors and May
ors have been invited to attend
this $100-a-plate dinner.
