nors, specifically a power
bloc of formidable propor-
tions. are in little better case.
A trio Of United States Sem
ators - johnson. Kennedy
and Symington - together
with Adlai Stevenson have
taken the play away from
them with ease. Furthermore,
the separate strategies of the
four have resulted in a con-
dition whereby the Demo-
cratic outcome, as of now,
can only be changed by a
true convention groundswell
and subsequent grand scram-

Population Migration Expected to Make
Areas Near Cities Decisive in Election
WILLIAM S. WHITE

The land of the split-level
house and the backyard bar
becue pit ~ which forms a
vastly enlarged d American
middle class-is to be the de-
ciSive battle-ground in this
falls presidential election.
Far more even than they
did four years ago, both
parties are now centering
their appeals on suburbia.
For 1t is to Surburbia that
the voters have been moving
in a long, immense, sustained
leap. The Census Bureau now
discloses that the population
Of suburban areas adjoining
major cities has grown by an
incredible ATOP per cent in
the last decade.
And this change has snow
balled as it has gone along;
1t has been faster in the four
years since the last presiden-
tial election than it had been
in the four years before that
election.
The total population of l89
standard metropolitan areas
is now put at 109 million-or
81 per cent of the grand to-
tai for all the Nation. More
over, most of the great cities
themselves have been shrink
ing as people have moved to
the suburbs. Four of the big
gest cities-New York, Chi
cago, Philadelphia and De-
troit-have actually lost pop
ulation. Los Angeles alone
among the Big Five has
gained.
To nearly all professional
politicians, as to most Of the
rest Of us, figures and Statis-
tics are pretty dull stuff. But
the pros in both parties are
manfully both reading and
digeSting these figures, since
duty is duty. And they are
making their plans on the
basis Of what these figures
add up to.
They are not only we'll
aware that it is in suburbia
that the votes lie. They are
equally aware that it is in
suburbia, far more than on
the farms or in the apart

Butler and the Kennedy Issue

in the large cities. For, If
Senator Kennedy fails to
get the nomination, whether
because of his religion or
because of some other factor
such as his youth or in
experience-the leaders of
the big Democratic organi-
cations know they may have
something of a debate on
their hands with the rank
and file of the precinct
workers if they have not done
everything they could to
nominate the Massachusetts,
Senator for the top spot.
There are among the organi-
zation men those who hope
that, if this is not possible
but Senator Kennedy is
chosen for second place,
some of the resentment will
disappear.
The opposition to Senator
Kennedy inside the Demo-
cratic Party is in large part
based on reasons other than
the Catholic issue" There
are those who want a candi-
date more friendly to union
labor. There are others who
want a candidate more ex-
perienced in public affairs
and older in years.
These points have gener-
ated considerable momen-
tum for the campaign Of
Senator Lyndon johnson Of
Texas, the majority leader of
the Senate. He will naturally
get some of the delegate
strength that is lining up now
for Senator Kennedy if the
. latter, on the first or second
ballot, does not come close to
the majority needed. The
friends of Adlai Stevenson, on
the other hand, think he
would inherit many of Sem
ator Kennedy's delegates if
the latter's boom begins to
dissolve. But it looks now as
if the Stevenson position isn't
strong enough to capture the
Kennedy delegates, many Of
whom are privately for Sena-
tor Johnson, especially those
from some of the large cities.
The race is between the
Senator from Massachusetts
and the Senator from Texas.
One or the other will be
nominated on the Democratic
ticket. No one else seems
now to be in the running for
the Democratic presidential
nomination.

of objections of some leaders
to his religion, do you think
many Catholics will vote Re-

"A. I think that I've spoken
on this before, although only
perhaps in an isolated press
conference which did not get
national attention, particu-
larly here from the press
corps in Washington.
This puts me right on the

properly. I am a Catholic

well be expressed in the
