EITHER ONE WORD OR TWO,
HYANNIS PORT IS IN NEWS

HYANNIS PORT, Mass, July 8 (AP) You'll see it
printed IN two words-Hyanns Port and in one word
Hyannisport.
Town fathers of Barnstable (the second "a" pro-
nounced as in comfortable of which Hyannis and
Hyannis Port part say official records list it as
Hyannis Port (two words)
The United States Coast Guard and the United States
Geodetic Survey use both styles
Highway directional signs spell it both ways
Many Massachusetts, residents and news media spell
it as word
In that regard John Rogers, managing editor of the
Cape Cod Standard Times published in Hyanns says:
Our style is one word. However an old time resident
there says he has written agreement from the Coast
Guard and the Geodetc Survey to spell it Hyanns Port
he produce that agreement we'll change our style
from word to two"
Hyannis Port is in the news because Senator Ken
nedy. the Democratic presidential nominee spends his
summers here.

Burdick Victory
In Senate Race
Gets Official OK

BISMARCK, N. OAK, July
18 (AP).-The State Canvas
sing Board today verified the
victory of Representative Bur-
dick, the Democratic nominee,
in the special election of June
% to choose a United States
Senator. .....
The board said Mr.. Burdick
defeated Republican Gov. john
E. Davis by lib votes. The
vote was Mr.. Burdick, 104 4,593;
Mr.. Davis. 103,475.
The special election, held in
conjunction with the regular
State primary, was called to
designate a person to serve the
four and a half years remain
ing of the term of the late
Senator William LANCER, a Re-
publican.
Mr.. Burdick is expected to
be sworn in as a Senator when
the Senate resumes August 8
after a recess for the national
political conventions. His House
seat will remain vacant until a
Representative is named at the
November 8 general, election.

Poce-Setting Kennedy,
Adds to Aides Worries

the Stevenson n minating e
speech by Senator Mccarthy of
Minnesota; a published report
that Senator johnson engi-
neered the vice presidential
nomination. and the New Jer-
sey delegations holding back in
the balloting.
Equally significant perhaps
was his conduct in such COM
paratively unheralded situa-
tons as these:
A hotel escalator became
overloaded and started a fast
descent with Senator Kennedy
aboard. He was practically
hurled of the bottom step but
went along as if the whole thing
was a perfectly natural opera
tion. Frantic aides and body
guards were caught farther
back in the crowd. No one was
injured.
Weaving in and out of Los
Angeles traffic at a fast clip to
visit State delegations or keep
other appointments, he had no
police escort except when he
drove to the convention hall
the night of the nomination
and to the Coliseum Friday for
the acceptance speech.
Kisses No Babies
He has refused, thus far at
lease, to engage in almost
traditional campaign stunts.
Aides wonder what will happen
if he campaigns in Texas and
is invited to put on a 10-gallon
hat. incidentally, he and Vice
President Nixon generally 60
hatleSs.
Here in Los Angeles he kissed
no babies, wore only we'll
tailored conservative business
suits or conventional evening
dress. He declined to be pho
tographed holding any news
paper or magazine with it's
name in full view. He averred
that a handshake with Senator
Johnson rather than an arm
around the vice presidential
nominees shoulder was suffi-
cient for picture purposes.
He speaks articulately and
Evening star., 1960-07-18

grammatically, although q
times too rapidly. without re-
sorting either to slang or
"highbrow" language. Aides
wondered whether he should
have stretched a point in the
last sentence of his acceptance
speech and predicted I'VE will
win" instead Of I'VE will pre-
vail"
Does Much of Writing
His New England background
and Harvard education are evi-
dent in his accent. But this
caused no great commotion or
confusion in the variety of sec
tional speech at the convention.
Senator Kennedy, of course,
has speech writer's, but aides
said he does much of the writ
ing as well as rewriting and re-
vising. After all, they add, he
is a Pulitzer Prize winner in
the literary field.
A few of his top advisers re-
portedly doubted the wisdom Of
certain language in the accept
ance speech, especially the per-
Sonal attack on Mr.. Nixon.
Senator Kennedy made it plain
that This is going to be a
vigorous campaign" for every
body concerned.
Eyebrows we're raised in some
quarters - particularly among
Boston delegates of Irish an
cestry-that the grandson Of
John Honey Fitz" Fitzgerald
should even so much as men
ton Henry II and the name of
Cromwell.

committee in Chicago Wednes-
day.
Senator Javits' suggested
plank parallels the Democratic
one in its support of Southern
sit-in demonstrations against
segregated lunch counters, its
promise of greater Federal ac-
tivity to speed school desegre-
cation, and its broadening OF
the Attorney Generals author
ity to seek injunctions to en-
force all civil rights.
1t goes further than the
Democrats did to put the Presi-
dent in the civil rights picture
by proposing a White House
conference on civil rights in
1861. And it hits hard at SEN
ate f1libusters, which have
blocked or moderated previous
civil rights legislation.
