War of Words Engulfs Congo Trouble

The pledge was made by Nikita KhrushcheV, who had previously accused the United States and it's allies of trying to reimpose a colonial regime on the Congo.
 KhrushcheV said in a message to Lumumba and Congo's Presi- dent KasabuVu, that the Soviet Union is ready ito halt aggres- sion" there If those states which are carrying on direct aggression against the Congo do not stop their criminal measures"
 The Premier's message was broadcast from Moscow as an an sWer to a telegram from Kasa- buvu and Lumumba saying their lives were in danger and that they may be compelled "to ask for intervention by the Soviet Union if the Western camp does not desist from aggression"
 Radio Moscow broadcast the statement to the world while United States planes began air lifts for relief of the Congo.

Democratic Party Liberals Bemoan
 Johnson as Vice President Nominee
By JACK BELL

LOS ANGELES, RI-Sen. John F. Kennedy formally accepts the Democratic presidential nomina- ton tonight, with party liberals bemoaning his endorsement of Sen. Lyndon Johnson as his run ming mate.
 In a dramatic but highly tra- ditional decision Thursday Ken nedy compromised with the poli tical realities of threatened Southern bolt and wheeled in Johnson, the majority leader of the Senate, as his Vice Presi- dential nominee.
 The Massachusetts senator thus took practical step toward quiet ing a growing Dixie rebellion But he reared in return some pro tests from party liberals who felt they had been influential in his top place nomination and de- served better of their efforts than a middle-of-the-road Vice Presi dential candidate.
 Kennedy could placate these diSsenterS, however, with lib eral acceptance speech tonight and the choice of one of this group to succeed Paul M. Butler as the party's national chairman. Sen, Paul Jackson of Washington was tapped for the job.
 There was one report, quickly denied by both the Kennedy and Johnson camps, that Johnson was chosen at his own insistence.
 House Speaker, Sam Rayburn of Texas, who urged Johnson not to take second place, shook his head and sighed a little sadly at the outcome which was formally ratified by the convention Thurs day night.
 Rayburn's explanation was that Johnson had been offered the spot and replied in simple language that he couldn't reject any de- mand for service his party or his country laid upon him. Johnson himself offered no enlightening explanation.
 Johnson's friends frankly could n't figure why the Senate leader would be willing to trade his po- sition for the Vice Presidency which, even in it's advanced sta tus, is a job in which one man stands in preparedness for an- others death.
 Whatever his motives, by the introduction of Johnson's name on the ticket Kennedy appeared to have softened movement to deny him the vote of several Southern states in the Electoral College.
 Tonight's formal acceptance ceremonies take the form of a big show with its Hollywood stars and premiere lights, it's thunder ing thousands of spectators and it's nation-spanning coverage by teleVision, radio and newspapers.
 Johnson has been a target for Americans for Democratic Ac- ton, the liberal appendage of the party. He has been criticized by Chairman Butler for ignoring the recommendations of the Demo- cratic Advisory Council.
 Gov. G. Mennen Williams of Michigan, a pre-convention sup porter of Kennedy, said his dele gation feels the nomination of Johnson was a mistake.

Mortgages and other securi-

Rowe emphasized.
. This message could be
brought to the general public's
