Humphrey (still committed) .63h
Stevenson 81
Favorite sons -.........-.............. 1913
Then the Synington interview
ers projected the possible release
of the favorite son delegates. They
arrived at this breakdown: Ken
nedy - 4941a, johnson - 43O;
Symington - 205; Humphrey -
S2h "a loss); Stevenson - "a;
Undecided - 80.
Finally Symington's study al
lowed all the claims made by Ken
nedy Of his potential strength In
Montana, New York and Pennsyl-
vania. His peak vote was still
found to be 1921 short Of the
victory margin needed
-
What makes the projection Of
these figures all so fascinating Is
that 1t now looks as II symington
might become a very powerful
figure at the conventional he
becomes convinced that he cannot
become the nominee himself. He
may have over 200 votes with
which to bargain.
But Gov. David Lawrence of
Pennsylvania and Gov. Pat Brown
Of California could become equally
important. Between them they have
1852 votes. If they were to throw
in with Kennedy he might make
it on the first ballot. II they hold
back for more than two ballots,
it's possible that Kennedy win be
finished.
Generally it's agreed he has to
make It first, fast, or not at all
Since 1t seems unlikely that
Lawrence and Brown would go for
johnson, even II Kennedy agreed
to be his rInning-mate, that raises
a question as to which way they
would jump. symington, Of course,
is hopeful. My own guess Is that
they viii turn to Stevenson. He
still remains the No. 1 Democratic
favorite in most Of the polls of
public opinion, II not yet Of dele
gate opinion.

TOO We'll IN the STUDY. he decided
nonetheless to make the results
available to the press. The survey
shows that on the first ballot at
Los Angeles, barring sudden and
unexpected switches between now
and the Democratic National Con-
vention, Sen. John F. Kennedy and
Sen. Lyndon B. johnson are likely
to be running neck-and-neck.
In fact, the Symington survey
found that there may be only 1914
votes between them.
It's traditional in pre-convention
maneuvering for candidates to
make all sorts of exaggerated
claims about their delegates

bandwagon psychology and to hope
the opposition will be so over

the white flag rather than suffer
a crushing defeat.

Anyone, Of course, can make a

to break it down by polling the

When corn borers team up with
corn earworms, sap beetles, stalk
rot and low prices, as they did last
year, the farmer is really in trou-
BILE, says DR.. Dale F. Bray, chair
man of the department of entomolo-
gy at the University of Delaware.
In terms of cash, last years
losses of 1,318,000 bushels of corn
in Delaware alone, kept a million
and a half dollars out of farmers
pockets.
The trouble is that many of the
bOrers that did the damage last
year have wintered over in old
corn stalks and other plant trash.
They are out there in your corn
field waiting to continue their pop
ulation explosion as soon as the
weather warns up.
DR.. Bray urges farmers to plOw
old corn stalks and stubble under
before the borers can reproduce.
Many borers won't be able to make
their way to the surface and will
die underground. Those that do
come up the bare surface will
either die of exposure or will be
eaten by birds.
Clean plowing before May 1 is
the best and cheapest way to COM
bat the destructive borer.

The borers set a new record in
