Credentials
Study Set by
Democrats
By the Associated Press

Democratic National Com
mittee and national convention
credential officials yesterday
held preliminary discussion of
rules to handle any delegate
seating contests.
Democratic National Chair
man Paul M. Butler had served
notice weeks ago that some
Southern delegations might be
challenged if their States took
action designed to keep the
convention nominees off their
regular democratic ballots.
But Mr.. Butler declined yes
terday to say what States were
mentioned in the exploratory
meeting. A committee state
ment said no conclusions were
reached, but that the group
will watch closely any develop
ments which may affect Gre
dentials before the convention
opens July II in Los Angeles.
States that have been men
toned in the past as possibly
running afoul of a national
committee rule against freeing
regular Democratic electors to
vote for other than the con-
vention nominees in the cleo
toral college are Alabama,
Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana.
Mississippi and South Carolina.

wheat crop in 1859 and the dis
content among farmers poses
Gov. Davis biggest challenge.
His solution so far has been to
straddle.
He called for the replace
ment of Secretary Benson in
one speech and in another in
dorsed the keystone of the Ben
son farm policy by saying,
What we need is freedom to
produce and markets which
will absorb, at fair prices, the
output of our farms and ranch
es. This must be our goal, in
stead of continuing restric-
tions."
Gov. Davis has indorSed the
two-price plan for wheat, also
backed by many Democrats,
which President Eisenhower
has vetoed once and has threat
.ened to veto again. But he has
blamed the Democrats for the
stalemate on wheat legislation,
saying they are more inter-
.ested in a farm problem than
they are in a farm program.
The decision North Dakota
voters make June % will affect
much more than one Senate
seat.
Senator Goldwater said the
impact on both Democratic and
Republican conventions in July
will be terrific"
IF Burdick wins" he said.
"the Interpretation will be that
people want a more liberal di-
rection. 1t will affect both party
platforms and maybe the choice
of candidates"
II our man loses" Senator
Goldwater added, "it immedi-
ately puts in jeopardy all our
other Senate and House can
didates in the farm States. "
Mr.. Burdick said he thought
Senator Goldwater was "abSo-
lutely right" about the i'm
portance of the North Dakota
test.
IF I'm defeated" he said,
Il would think it would be a
victory for Benson in partic-
ular and conservative Repub-
licanism in general"

Kennedy Gets
Iowa Backing

DES MONIES, May %. (AP).
Iowa Democrats met today
and picked an overwhelmingly
lpro-Kennedy delegation to the
party's national convention at
Los Angeles July IL.
Fifty-two delegates, each
with a half vote. were in
structed by resolution at the
Democratic State Convention
to cast their first votes for Iowa
Gov. Herschel Loveless as a
favorite-son candidate for
President.
However. in a poll Of the
group, at least 81 of the dele
gates said they would vote foS
Senator Kennedy of Massachu-
sets at the first opportunity.
Seven others were for Senator
ISymington of Missouri, two for
Adlai Stevenson and six were
uncommitted.
Iowa will have rs votes at
Los Angeles. The poll indicated
that in excess of 18 of these
were pro-Kennedy.
Mr.. Loveless and Iowa Chair
man Donald Norberg will go
to the national convention as
delegates-at-large and both
were among the six uncom-
mitted.
The Governor has said he
will free the favorite-Son dele
cation to vote for any candi-
date who appeared strong
enough to win the presidential
nomination on the first ballot.

dates" he said, "but I do say
that recent pronouncements of
two Democratic candidates, and
of the Democratic Advisory
Council, inject into partisan
politics grave international
matters that do not belong
there"
Senator Morton made his re-
marks in a speech for the Ala
bama State Republican con-
vention.
The convention Endorsed Vice
President Nixon for President
and nominated candidates to
oppose Democrats for State
wide Office in the November
general election.
Sparkman to Be Opposed
Julian E. Elgin, As, Mont
gomery County farmer, was
nominated for the Senate. He
will oppose Senator Sparkman
in his bid for a third term.
Two Republican candidates
for Congress approved by the
State convention are H. G..
Williams, Florence businessa
man, to oppose Representative
Jones in the 9th District, and
William P. Ivey, Birmingham
jeweler, to run against Repre-
sentative Huddleston in the 9th

paign for him. Gov. Nelson
Rockefeller of New York will
be there for two days next week
end, and he will be followed by
House Republican Leader Hal
leck of Indiana and, finally,
Vice President Nixon.
Mr.. Burdick has called for no
outside Democratic help and,
in fact, has criticized his op-
ponent for mot fighting his
own battle" Some Republicans
in the State think the parade
of G. o. P. visitors may provoke
an unfavorable reaction from
North Dakota's notably inde-
pendent voters.
Mr.. Burdick is aided, how
ever, by some backing that is
unusual for a Democrat in
North Dakota. He has been
indorsed by the Nonpartisan
League, a Populist organization
which Senator LANCER made a
powerful influence in the State.
And his father, former Repub-
lican Representative Usher
Burdick, has crossed party lines
to speak for him.
Farm Policy Is Issue
The overriding issue of the
campaign is farm policy. Mr..
Burdick is running on straight
out opposition to Secretary of
Agriculture Benson. IF a man
who has fought Benson for
seven years is elected" he said
in his kickoff speech, "it will
be heralded all over the coun-
try" as a demand for a change
in farm policy.
His hackers put it even more
simply in their favorite slogan:
Beat Benson with Burdick."

BY DAVID S. BRODER
Star Staf Writer

A senate contest with ma
tional significance enters its
final month in North Dakota
with both parties admitting the
outcome is in doubt.
Republican Gov. John E
Davis and Democratic Repre-
sentative Quentin N. Burdick
are both seeking to fill the Sen
ate term of the late Republican
maverick, Senator William
LANCER.
Normally a Republican can
didate in North Dakota is as
sure of election as a Democrat
in Mississippi, but not in this
case. Senator Goldwater of
Arizona, chairman of the Re-
publican Senatorial Campaign
Committee, said yesterday his
latest word from the State put
the candidates on a 5000
basis" And that, he added,
represented a gain for Gov.
Davis from the situation a
month ago.
Mr.. Burdick, before heading
home for a stint of campaign
ing, called it "a good tight
race"
Labeled Important
Coming as it does just before
the presidential conventions,
the North Dakota verdict is
viewed by both Republicans
and Democrats as unusually
important.
The Republicans are sparing
no effort. Senator Goldwater
and Republican National
Chairman Thruston Morton
have been in the State to cam

Eisenhower ReveIs in Country Store,
Pays S7.13 Cash to FIustered Owners

GETTYSBURG, Pa, May %
(AP). President Eisenhower
spent a happy hour today max
ing $7.13 worth of purchases
including dried corn, apple but
ter and a measuring cup-at an
old-fashioned country store.
Fascinated by the quaint
stores 10000 items of merchan-
disc, the President went away
with a variety of food supplies
for use in his own cooking, a
favorite hobby.
He turned the handle of an
ancient coffee grinder and re-
ported with a chuckle that he
used to crank similar one by
the hour" when, as a boy, he
worked in a grocery.
Mr.. EiSenhower's unheralded
visit so flustered one of the
storekeepers, pretty Mrs.
Marion Harbaugh, that she un-
Willingly addressed the Presi-
dent and his companion at one
point as you boys" He was
accompanied by William E.
Robinson of New York, board
chairman of Coca Cola.
OyerchargeS President
Mrs. Harbaugh, 36 and bru-
nette, completely forgot in the
excitement to charge Mr.. Eisen-
hover an 11-cent sales tax on
his non-food purchases. And
she momentarily overcharged
him 80 cents before discovering
that a can of food on the
counter hadn't been purchased
by the President.
But she isn't giving any of
that a second thought.
I'VE were so thrilled that he
came" she said. 1T was won
derful-just wonderful"
The country store, opened in
1909, is at Biglerville. Pa. a
town of about 800 population
10 miles north of Mr.. Eisen-
hower's farm at Gettysburg.
1t is owned and operated by
Mrs. Harbaugh's father, 30
year-old Ner Thomas, who was
on hand today. So. was Mrs.
Earbaugh's older sister, Jean
Thomas.
Robinson a Bit Short
Mr.. Eisenhower paid his bill
in cash, but Mr.. Robinson
found to his chagrin that he
had no money with him to
settle for his purchases totaling
$14.64. They included a lun-
cheon tablecloth and napkins
for Mrs. Eisenhower.
The President offered to lend
Mr.. Robinson some cash, but
he declined and accepted
blank check from Mrs Har-
baugh.
Mr.. Eisenhower and Mr..
Robinson drove from the Presi-
dents farm to the country store
after rain had washed out their
plans to play golf.
Newsmen did not accom-
pany them to Biglerville. But
the folks at the store gave re-
porters a full account of the
visit.
Seemed Fascinated
"The President was just fas-
cinated," Mrs. Harbaugh said. ]
He had said he had never I
seen anything like this store
in his life" Il
Among the things he saw i
were an old wicker baby car /
riage with a white parasol
overhead, corsets hanging from
ceiling racks, embroidered
ladies hose, gay colored sun ,
bonnets, candy, and hundreds !
of other items. ,
But Mr.. Eisenhower was
most interested in the food de-
partment. There he picked out
a big can of apple Juice put
up by an area farmers CO.
operative, a jar and a crock
Of apple butter, corn relish, a
can of plums and a box of dried
corn. He was particularly de- :
lighted about the corn, Mrs.
Harbaugh said, and exclaimed:
Il haven't seen any Of that
In years"
He also bought a one-quart
measuring cup, saying that's
just what I need for my bar
becues."
