SACRAMENTO, Calf, Feb.
1.-TWO Democratic hopefuls
will converge on Gov. Edmund
G. (Pat) Brown today. Senator
Humphrey of Minnesota will
see him in Sacramento and
try to put some iron in his
spine. Senator Kennedy will
meet him in the evening in
Fresno and presumably put his
feet to the fire.
Gov. Brown will head this
States fat 81-member delega-
ton to the convention. He is
also on the June 7 primary
ballot as a favorite son. SEN
ator Kennedy is expected to use
the threat of his own entry in
the primary, pointing out that
it would be awkward for Gov.
Brown if he were to be defeated
in the primary by a Massachu-
sets Senator.
Senator Humphrey, the Mr..
Micawber Of the campaign, is
apparently just hoping that
something will turn up. About
the only leverage he has is to
suggest to Gov. Brown that if
he harbors vice presidential
aspirations his chances with
Senator Humphrey are better
than with Senator Kennedy,

Shows Rise 18th
Month in Row

Washington's crime rate last
month was 1874 per cent higher
than in January, 1859, it was
reported today.
This marked the 18th straight
month in which crime in
creased over the same month of
the previous year.
Last month, the number of
serious criminal offenses
totaled 1887, an increase of 200
over the figure for January,
1859. There was a Jump in the
number of offenses in all eight
major crime categories except
auto theft, which dropped from
1872 to 1888.
Last year. the total of major
offenses rose 15.9 per cent over
1858.
Commissioner Robert E. Nc
Laughlin said the latest crime
figures are added evidence of
the city's need for more police
men and new methods of crime
prevention. A request by the
city for funds to hire $50 ad-
ditional policemen was cut to
money for so by the House APP
preparations Committee.
City officials will seek restora-
ton of the funds Monday when
budget hearings open before the

But He Tells India
Reds Do Not Wish
To Use Strength

NEW DELHI, Feb, IL (AP) t.
Premier Nikita KhruShchev
declared today that the Soviet
Union is the strongest military
power in the world but does not
wish to take advantage of her
superiority.
Speaking from the same
stand from which President
Eisenhower two months ago
defended Western military al
lianceS, Mr.. Khrushchev said
that because of Soviet military
strength, the idea of peaceful
co-existence is "gainin g
ground even among advocates
Of the cold war"
They have come to under
stand that if war is unleashed
by them, the instigators and
inspirers would be the first to
perish in flames" he declared.
An estimated 100000 In
dams heard Mr.. Khrushchev
speak at a civic reception in
sprawling Ram Lila Park, be-
tween the new and old cities
of Delhi. Mr.. Eisenhower at
tracted an estimated million
spectators to a similar recep-
ton for him two months ago
in the park.
Talks With Nehru
Earlier today Mr.. Khru-
shchev had met alone with
Prime Minister Nehru for
nearly three hours during
which it was assumed midas
border dispute with Red China
was discussed. Although many
Indians hoped Mr.. Khru-
shchev would persuade Red
China to pull her troops out
of Himalayan territory both
nations claim, Mr.. Nehru was
reported to have no such hopes
and to doubt that Mr.. Khru-
shchev had enough influence
with Mao Tze-tung to change
the Chinese leaders course.
Mr.. Khrushchev coupled his
attack on advocates Of the
cold war" with a new declara-
ton that Russia is determined
to Surpass the United States
in per capita production within
a few years.
This will enable us to have
the highest living standards in
the world and at the same time
the shortest working day." he
said.

Endorsed exemption Of groceries

From a large volume of mail
and telephone calls coming to
his Office, he said, there has
been a public bareback to the
threat of higher income tax
rates which have been suggest
ed as an alternative to his sales

Two separate sales tax bills,
imposing rates at 2 per cent and
8 per cent? now are pending
before the House Finance Com

Of the State" Gov. Almond said
in a press conference.
Backed by Counties League
Insofar as proposals for
the enactment of sales tax
measures are concerned, I see
a very perceptible change in

clusively evidenced in the sup
port for a sales tax measure

chains were preparing a for
mula for settlement" and the
stores retail clerks were map
ping a contract proposal which
could serve as a pattern to end
the strike.
Federal Mediator James A,
Holden was encouraged enough
to say:
I'VE are hopeful that the
union membership will be given
"a proposal on which to vote
over the week end"
Even if a settlement should
emerge as suddenly as the
strike began Wednesday, there
is no chance that the nearly
270 supermarkets can open for
the usual weekend shopping
rush.
24-HOur Interval Needed
Both union and company
spokesman say it will require
"a hours after peace is made
to resume business.
Thus far there has been
plenty of meat, staples and
milk available for everyone in
the District and nearby Virginia
and Maryland communities hit
by the strike. But crowds have
been swelling in the chain and
independent stores still open,
and today and tomorrow prom
ised to go hard with shoppers
nerves.
With $4,000 to $4,000 workers
made idle in the stores and
related businesses, pressure was
growing for a quick end to the
dispute.
Whether it can be accom-
pliShed soon hinged on meet
ings scheduled this afternoon
at the Hay-Adams Hotel.
The first promising move
came there last night when
the retail clerks union, which
is not on strike, tossed onto
the table some ideas they be-
lieved might start the ball
rolling.
HOnored Picket Lines
The 5000 clerks also have a
contract dispute with the six
chains involved. This issue also
must be resolved before peace
is restored.
1t was the clerks refusal to
cross picket lines of the Meat
