Would Be Delighted
With Trumon's HeIp

A. I think he would support
me If I were nominated. He
indicated that last Saturday.
though I am not his first
choice or even second or third
choice. But I would appreciate
his support. He is a vigorous
Democrat, a former President.
He had an outstanding ad-
ministration. I am delighted to
have his help.
@. Is it vitality important to
your success. sir?
A. I think it would be very
important to have his help.
@. Senator Kennedy, do you
think that the Democratic
argument that the Republican
convention is rigged or fixed
has been negated by Mr.. Tru-
mans remarks of last Satur-
day, sir?
A. Well. everyone who feels
that they don't have enough
delegates to get nominated al
ways say that somebody else
has rigged or prearranged the
convention. I started in in jan
uary with no delegates. I think
we will have sufficient delegates
to be nominated at the con-
vention. The road which I took
from the date of January 2,
when I announced my can
didacy, to July 4, I have run
in seven primaries, I have
travelled to at least 35 States
Evening star., 1960-07-05

I have worked extremely hard,
and therefore whatever sup
port I have gotten has come
by the free choice of the peo-
pie of these States in the seven
primaries that I ran in, and
in the three States where there
were write-ins I received the
support of 2 million Democrats.
There isn't a single other can
didate who received a fraction
Of that support in the last six
months.
@. Senator, you are obviously
not counting on Southern sup
port. You are not counting on
it. Are you doing anything to
gain it?
A. I would be delighted to
have the support of anyone in
the South or any section Of
the country. Most of the
Southern delegates have an
nounced their support to Sen
ator Johnson. If they would
support me I would be glad to
have it.
@. You have said you want
a clear and strong stand on
civil rights in the next Demo-
cratic party platform. You
mean one that is stronger than
in 1856?

Senator Kennedy's
News Conference

NEW YORK, July S (AP).
FOLLOWING is a transcript of
questions and dnSUers at
Senator John F. Kennedy's
ne1S conference.
Q. Do you give your oppo-
nents a chance of blocking your
nomination at Los Angeles?
A. Yes.
@. Who will do it and how? ?
A. Well, I don't expect it is
going to be, but I believe il
could happen. 1t is an open
convention.
@. How many votes do you
now have sewed up?
A. I think that we are going
to get over 900 votes in the ear
ly balloting.
@. Do you know of any dele
gates you have lost who would
have supported you since the
speech of the former President?
A. I do not.
@. There was an inference ir
Mr.. Truman's speech on Sat-
urday that you may have beer
involved in the injudicious use
of sums in connection with the
possible collecting of delegates
in the rigging of the conven-
ton. I notice that you did moi
comment on it in your prepared
statement.
A. Where did Mr.. Truman
say that?
Q. There was an inference
sir.
A. Where?
Q. In the course of hi,
speech.
Evening star., 1960-07-05
Let Party and Nation
Be Judge of Fitness

Fourth, and finally, the
heart of Mr.. Truman's objec-
tion, it seems, is his question
as to whether I am ready for
the country, or the country is
ready for me, in terms of ma
turity and experience. Let me
say this, as effectively as /
can: I did not undertake light
ly to seek the presidency. It is
not a prize or a normal object
of ambition. It is the greatest
ONCE in the world. And came
to the conclusion that I could
best serve the United States in
that office after 18 years in the
service Of our Nationalist as
a naval officer in World War
land for the past IA years
as a member of the Congress.
In the last 20 years, I have
Travelled in nearly every con-
tinent and country-and, in
the last few years alone, in
every one of the so States
more than any other active
presidential candidate now or
in history, to the best of my
knowledge. My writings, ad-
dresses and activities in foreign
and domestic affairs speak, I
hope, for themselves; and am
willing to let our party and
Nation to be the judge Of my
experience and ability.
But this much ought to be
understood: If we are to es-
tablish a test for the presidency
whereby IA years in major cleo
tive Office is insufficient expert
ence, then all but three of the
10 possibilities mentioned by
Mr.. Truman must be ruled out
all but a handful of our
Presidents since the very
founding Of the Nation should
have been ruled out-and every
President elevated to that Of
flee in the goth Century should
have been ruled out, including
the three great Democratic
Presidents: Woodrow Wilson,
Franklin Roosevelt and Harry
Truman himself,
