They Matched their plot with great care

enough for train tickets to Boston.
The next problem was getting to the rail

answer.
"A pieman comes into the school grounds
each week, he told young Lathrop. Lets

The pieman listened and shook his head

shrugged them off. But on the evening

Despite Clashes, West
Hopes for Arms Pact

Of repeating the phrase as
much as 72 times in one day.
Soviet Delegate Valerian Zorin
has made it abundantly clear
that the only disarmament that
would be really general and
complete would be the kind
proposed by Russian Premier
Khrushchev.
Beyond this. however, the
Communist side has offered no
written plan or indeed given
any indication that they have
one apart from vague proposals
put before United Nations Gen.
eral Assembly last September
by Mr.. Khrushchev.
In his speech there the Rus
sion leader suggested that in
four years "all states should ef-
feet complete disarmament and
should no longer have any
means of waging war" BY the
end of this time, he said. all
armed forces except those re-
quired for internal security
would be abolished and foreign
military bases diSmantled. Nu-
clear weapons and missiles
would be destroyed. Making Of
chemical or bacteriological
weapons would be forbidden
How this might be done and
above all how the various stages
of his disarmament program
could be effectively controlled
Mr.. Khrushchev did not say at
the time.
Willing to Discuss Plan
On the other hand the West
ern delegates here have been
mildly impressed by the Com
munist reaction to their own
detailed and complex proposals
for a phased disarmament un-
der the control of an interna-
tional authority. The response
TO be sure, has been something
less than enthusiastic. But the
fact that the Communist side
IS willing to discuss the plan
at all and even ask some SEEM
lngly serious questions about
its various features is taken as
hopeful sign.
1t indicates. perhaps, that
the Communists have another
purpose here than a simple
props ganda marathon. In that
sort of debate, the Communists
with their seemingly simple
ano sweeping proposals hold a
natural advantage. The more
elaborate Western plan. with
its heavy emphasis on air
tight safeguards, is hardly the
kind OF material to attract a
sympathetic world audience.

independents and those who
are still yearning and hoping
to vote for Adlai E. Stevenson
One highly placed Democrat
who asked not to be identified
said he expects Senator Ken
nedy to sweep the boards, win
ming all so delegates with their
80 convention votes.
The majority of analysts
however. believe Senator Ken
nedy will take seven districts
and all the at-large delegates
This would give him 221a dele
gates.
Senator Humphreys greatest
strength appears to lie in the
9Th and 10th districts border
ing Minnesota. He has visited
them often. He is sometimes
known there as "Wisconsin's IS
third Senator"
Farm Interests Similar
The interests of the farmers
on both sides Of the State lines
are similar. Senator Humphrey
has been speaking out for the
farmers much longer than SEN
ator Kennedy.
The Minnesota Senator also
appears to have strong support
in the I'd district. which en-
braces La Crosse in Western
Wisconsin and has a substan-
tial labor vote.
The question of how the mass
Of farmers and factory workers
will vote is pure political quick
