ATLANTA. Aug. 2 (AP).-
Georgia's Democratic Governor
says he may decide to support
his party's nominees for Presi-
dent and Vice President after
the unpledged elector contro-
versy dies down.
Gov. Ernest Vandiver made
the statement at his news con-
ference yesterday. It was the
first indication of how he feels
about the selection of Senators
Kennedy and Johnson at the
Democratic National Conven-
tion.
The Governor said he is not
taking sides publicly on wheth-
er he prefers unpledged electors
to electors who would be bound
to support the Kennedy-John-
son ticket.
Il may decide to support the
nominees" he said.
Thus far Gov. Vandiver has
refused to voice support of the
ticket because of resentment
over the strong civil rights
plank.
The Governor discussed the
elector situation in some de-
tail. H. said Georgia should
name as its II electors persons
who have not indicated how
they feel about being pledged
to support the Democratic ma
tional ticket.
ANY person who has taken
a strong stand on this one way
or the other should not be an
elector," he said.
Gov. Vandiver has called a
meeting of the State Demo-
cratic Executive Committee
Friday to approve a plan to
give Georgia voters a chance
to decide in the September IA
primary whether the States
Democratic electors will be
pledged to the ticket or left

To Heal New York Rift

NEW YORK, Aug. 2 (APl.-
A wartime friend of Senator
Kennedy has been given the job
of getting the party's warning
factions in New York City

A lawyer, Mr.. AkerS tried
three times in vain to win a
congressional seat from Man
hattan'S 18th silk stocking"
district. He once served as
deputy to former Air Force
Secretary Thomas K. Finletter.
In announcing Mr.. Akers' ap-
pointment, Robert Kennedy
said his mission is TO enlist
every one not serving in the
campaign through the regular
Democratic organization.
The prime target is a group
OF inSurgent party members
who insisted on a separate COM
mittee.
Mr.. Finletter is a leader in
that group, which also includes
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt and
former Senator Herbert H.
Lehman.

Few names shine brighter on the pages OF American history
than that of Robert Edward Lee, born on January 10, 1907 at
Stratford, Virginia, His father was General Henry Light Horse
Harry Lee, who had been Washingtons brilliant cavalry leader in
The Revolutionary War. His mother was a Carter, another of MIR

In conduct he modelled himself after George Washington. In the

He served so ably that General Scott called him the best soldier he

cavalry on the Texas frontier.
Through his marriage to Mary Gusts, daughter of the adopted
son of George Washington, and heiress of Arlington, Lee became
the owner of Virginia estates. He was in Virginia on furlough when
he led the expedition against John Browns raiders at Harpers
Ferry. Colonel Lee was now a national figure at a time when
war began to threaten between the North and South. President
Lincoln, on General SCOTS advice; offered the Union army COM
mand to Lee, but the latter declined and resigned his commission
from the army. Lee was opposed to slavery, and against secession,
but he felt his first duty was to his beloved native state, and as

the Army of Northern Virginia, he came into his glory as a mag
