Nominations Lead
To AimIess Confusion

LOS ANGELES, July 14-Can anyone explain Senator
Johnston of South Carolina doing carrying that sign

Gov George Docking of Kansas She indicated for

And remember the lady W
Gov. George Docking of Kans'
him and liked him, but why
did she suddenly ask: who is
this man George Docking?"
And why did the delegate
from Newport News wait until
the beginning of last nights
session before giving a gavel
made by Thomas jefferson from
a beech tree at Monticello to
permanent Chairman Leroy
Collins, who already had a
gavel?
Maybe conventions should be
rigged to prevent so much myS-
terry.
Why couldn't the escorts of
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, de
scribed last night as the grand
old lady of the world" find her
seat? Somebody was a whole
section of in the galleries when
she entered about 1880 pm.
None Listened
Delegates found this confu-
sion more interesting than lis
tening to a tall man named
Frank Theis, a committeeman
from Kansas. He knew who
George Docking was, but no.
body would listen.
And where were the SER
geants-at-arms when a Steven
son placard got in the way of
a homemade sign that read,
Docking, Docking, Docking?"
Gov. Docking might have been
in now if more delegates had
seen the sign.
Whatever they were doing, it
took from 3:17 pm. to, ,ol0:53
pm. when the chairman of the
Wyoming delegation felt the
way the wind was blowing.
Rabbi Max NuSsbaum, who
gave the invocation, was the
only man on the rostrum who
spoke in a silent arena and
was understood by all.
They Were Watched
A few minutes afterward,
Gov. Collins was saying that
the delegates might remember
that people were able to watch
them from "homes and street
corners throughout the United
States"
This bothered them little
and they plunged into the wild
night.
Sam Rayburn. Speaker OF
the House, set off the johnson
demonstration after telling the
delegates they were "at the
crossroads" and in need OF
real, sound, forward looking
leadership"
But they preferred to surge
in no apparent direction, carry
ing thousands of pictures OF
Senator johnson around. And
one old Texan almost Stormed
the roStrum to shake like an
accusing finger, the standard
Of Texas. He shook it at Ma
tional Chairman Paul Butler
or so it appeared.
Senator Dodd, of Connecti-
cut, seconding the nomination
of his Senate leader, told the
delegates to set their "preju-
dices aside and forget the bally-
hoo" But they kept on yelling
and stamping.
Another 20 Minutes
The johnson demonstration
lasted about 20 minutes. II
ended about the time the elec-
trio elevator on the speakers
stand lifted Gov. Collins toe
high above the crowd and made
his pounding more difficult
He finally returned to his
normal position.
Representative Inouye of Ha-
waii, also seconding, finished
as the Kennedy posters began
to push into the arena.
Gov. Orville L. Freeman OF
Minnesota is AZ. He called fol

from Senator Kennedy who is

demonstration lasted about 20

Opinion generally was that
the johnson performance had
a bit more zip. The Kennedy

Kennedy Rules Out
Appeusement Of Reds

NEW YORK, July IA (AP).-
Senator Kennedy said today
the next President must make
it clear to Khrushchev that
there will be no appeasement. "
The Democratic presidential
candidate made the statement
in an article under his byline
copyrighted by the Hearst t
Headline Service and appear
ing in the New York Journal
American.
A note preceding the article
said that in it the newly
named Democratic standard
bearer gives his views on the
best way to handle Premier
Khrushchev."
Fundamental Resistance
I'm dealing with Khrushchev
there is no Democratic, no Re
publican way" said Senator
Kennedy, adding:
"An election year may tempt
KhIushchev to try to fish in
our troubled waters, but he
would be we'll advised to keep
out of American politics-for
any interference on his part
would boomerang on him. He
should not mistake our elec-
ton debates for national dis
unity on the fundamentals of
our policy of resistance to
communism.
THE next President must
make it clear to Khrushchev
that there will be no appease-
ment-no sacrifice of the free
dom of the people of Berlin,
no surrender of vital principle
He must also make it clear
that the United States is
ready to take every possible,
practical step to control the
arms race and to prevent world
atomic war"

Safety Council News

Driving while under the influ-
ence of alcohol and speeding con-
tinued to be the leading causes of
highway fatalities in Delaware dur
ing the first four months of this
year, the Delaware Safety Council
reported yesterday.
Twenty-four persons lost their
lives in Is highway accidents in the
period. Each of the accidents is
analyzed in a summary of 1860
highway fatalities prepared by the
Council as part of a packet of Off
the-job safety material. The ma
terial is being sent to Delaware
industrial firms cooperating with
the Council in promoting an Off
the-job safety program among
their employees. The program en-
phasized prevention of falls when
it started few months ago. Dur
ing the summer vacation safety will
be emphasized. The packet con-
tains material on highway safety,
on safe use of power lawn mowers,
on safety in outdoor recreation in
Guiding boating, and on vacation
safety in general. Similar material
is available to other interested
groups or individuals at the Safety
Councils Office in the DUPONT
Building.
The analysis of the highway ac-
cidents shows that nine of the "a
deaths were caused primarily by
ence of alcohol. Speeding was the
primary cause of seven of the
deaths, and a secondary cause in
five other deaths. Thus, drinking
and speeding were the primary
causes of is out of the "a deaths
on Delaware highways in the four
months.
Five other deaths were caused by
walking into the path of vehicles.
One was primarily caused by a
bicycle crossing in front of a We
hicle, one by driver falling asleep
and one by failure to grant right of
way to a train.
A brief description of each acci-
dent situation is given in the sum-
mary, which is based upon police
reports.
Experience in 1860 as well as in
1859 and in prior years demon
strates conclusively that drinking
and driving can not safely be mix
ed" said ]. James Ashton, manager
of the Safety Council. "This sum-
mer when the roads are more
crowded than ever, avoid driving if
you have been drinking, and take
the time to be careful"
"Drive safely and have fun driv-
ing-and be able to have fun when
you get where you're going" he
suggested.

Asks Her to Go Home

PARIS, Jan. 18 (AP).-
Douglas Benedict, brother of
runaway American h eiress S
Gamble Benedict, flew into
Paris today in an effort to get
his 19-year-old sister to go
home to New York.
Mr.. Benedict, a 2l-year-old
private first class on leave from
an artillery outfit in West Ger
many, has held frequent tele-
phone conversations with his
sister since she ran of with
Romanian-born Andre Porum-
beanu. The girl insists she will
remain in Paris and marry Mr.,
Porumbeanu when he gets a
divorce.
Mr.. Benedict was met at the
airport by Robert Hoffman, the
family lawyer who flew to Paris
from New York last week to
investigate legal possibilities on
forcing Gamble to return to
