If Speaker Rayburn, a not

In addition to inf1aming

An even more powerful swat

Pennsylvania Support
Awaited by Kennedy

Own Defeat
BY J. A. OLEARY
Star Staf Writer

LOS ANGELES, July IL
The key Pennsylvania delega-
ton to the Democratic Ma
tional Convention went behind
closed doors today after hear
ing the leading presidential
candidates openly bid for its
support.
AS the 81-vote delegation be-
gan its caucus there were re-
ports that PennSylvania's Gov.
David L. Lawrence would throw
his support to Senator Kennedy
of Massachusetts,.
If this happens, it virtually
would assure the front-running
candidate Of the nomination.
The convention starts ballot
ing Wednesday.
Senator Johnson of Texas, in
addressing the delegation, came
close to admitting he expects
Senator Kennedy to win if he
gets the Endorsement of Penn
Sylvania today.
Has No Illusions, He Says
Standing only a few feet
from Senator Kennedy, Sen
ator johnson said, referring to
the Massachusetts, Senator:
II have no illusions about
his ability to have a heavy vote
in the convention, particularly
if men like Mayor Da!y of Chi
cago, Gov. Brown of California,
Gov. Di Sale Of Ohio, Mayor
Wagner, and Carmine DeSapio
of New York-if they should
all see things alike, and if
David Lawrence should confirm
them, the man who could get
their blessings would have a
decided advantage.
Il have not come here to
destroy that advantage"
Senator Johnson also told
the Pennsylvanians he is an
organization man.
Kennedy Gets Boost
The Kennedy cause received
a strong boost a short time
earlier when David j. Nc
Donald, president of the United
Steel Workers Union and a
Pennsylvania delegate, and
Senator Jackson of Washing
ton threw their support to the
Massachusetts Senator.
Mr.. McDonald's action was
expected to carry the other
steel union delegates into Sen
ator Kennedy's camp.
In a statement, Senator
Jackson said he was informing
the chairman of his States
delegation that he will vote for
Senator Kennedy.

No details were available in
New York on the form of in
tervention the Congo re-
quested. The United Nations
in the past has intervened in
the past in some critical stu
ations with troops, observers
or technical experts to keep or
restore order.
Rebellious Congolese troops
were reported terrorizing
whites today in Luluabourg
and Stanleyville, and fleets of
planes were rushed to help
European refugees flee the torn
new African nation.
MIR. Van Der Meersch saw
Congolese officials to arrange
for entrance of Belgian troops

Congo River ports west of Leo

Of ships. A spokesman said the

last week by many Belgians
when disorders broke out in
Leopoldville.
1n Geneva, U. N. Secretary
General Dag Hammarskjold cut
short a visit to return to New
York headquarters because of
the Congo situation. He went
to Geneva for a meeting of the
U. N. Economic and Social

Belgian paratroopS were

RB-47 Missing
Since July I Over
Burents Sea

MOSCOW, July II (AP)-
The Soviet Union announced
today it shot down an Ameri-
can RB-47 reconnaissance
plane July over Soviet terri
tory and that two crewmen
parachuted to safety and are
being questioned.
This was the first word of
the plane since it disappeared
July. with six men aboard
while on an electromagnetic
mapping flight over waters
north of Norway and the So
Wet Union.
Soviet Foreign Minister An
drei A, Gromyko summoned
United States Charge d'Affaires
Edward Freers and handed
him a note protesting viola
ton of Soviet air space by the
plane.
Similar notes were given to
Britain and Norway because
the plane was temporarily
based in England and was ex-
pected to land at a Norwegian
air field.
Full Prosecution
A Soviet announcement said
the survivors would be prose-
cuted with full severity of
Soviet law"
The two captured flyers were

TonganoXie, Kans., and 1st 1t.
Freeman B. Olmstead, "a of
Elmira, N. Y.
The note did not mention
the fate of the other members
of the crew of six.
The latest Soviet note fol-
lowed by two days a Moscow
announcement that Francis
Powers, pilot of the doWneQ
American U-2 spy plane, would
be tried for espionage. Powers
plane was downed deep inside
Soviet Union May / while OIL
a high altitude Photographic
mission.
The incident kicked up an in
ternational furore and was used
by Soviet Premier Nikita Khru-
shchev to call off the Paris
summit meeting eGn before ii
started.
Spotted Over Sea
Today's note said the Soviet
air force picked up a trace of
the plane while it was over the
Barents Sea proceeding towards
Soviet territory. When it
reached the Soviet border at
the Kola Peninsula, a fighter
plane took of and identified
the plane by its American Air
Force markings.
The note said the Soviet
pilot ordered the American
plane to land but the pilot re-
fused and kept moving in over
Soviet territory. When the re-
fusal to land continued, the
note said, the Russians shot
down hte American plane at
exactly 6:03 pm. Moscow time,

The Soviet note accused Brit
ain Of being an accomplice of
the United States in hostile
acts" and warned of possible
consequences.

to the United States:
