Placed in Crump Home
Johnny was placed in the
Crump home by Montgomery
welfare authorities when he was
Z days old. He was placed there
for temporary care as a foster
child. Under Montgomery
Welfare Board rules, he should
have stayed there only six
months.
When the six months had
passed. however, welfare au-
thorities asked the Crumps to
keep the boy longer because he
appeared to be slightly retard-
ed and not ready for adoption.
When he was nearly l8 months
old, welfare workers decided he
was normal and could be adopt
ed formally.
The Crumps had asked
permanent custody, but were
refused. The Welfare Depart

went to a Federal prison to
serve three months for con-
tempt of court.
His secretary, Miss Mildred
Paperman, AZ, was jailed for
10 days for a similar offenSe.
The immediate imposition of
sentence followed a denial by
Federal Judge Charles E. Wy
zanski, jr., of a personal appeal
by Mr.. Goldfine and legal ma
neuveringS by defense counsel
which had reached as high as
the United States Supreme
Court.
Judge Wyzanski also denied
last-minute appeals of Mr..
Goldfine's counsel for a reduc-
ton of sentence and a stay of
execution.
Mr.. Goldfine accepted SEN
tence calmly. Miss Paperman
was red-eyed.

The contempt charge was
based on the failure of Mr..

and records to investigators

Meanwhile, it was also

He is expected to leave Office

Mr.. Karrick. 81, was ap-
pointed to his present Office by
President Eisenhower and has
served since April of 1856. He
was reappointed and confirmed
in May of last year.
March RumOr Recalled
Mr.. Karrick was rumored to
be in line for an Ambassador
ship in March of last year, a
few months before he was re-
appointed. At that time he
was reluctant to serve a second

Mr.. Karrick, who speaks

Open Candidacy

Rule Out
I'd Place
BY ROBERT X. WALSH
Star STAFF Writer

Senator johnson of Texas
announced today that "as Of
this moment I am a candidate
for the Democratic nomination
for the presidency of the United
States"
Senator Johnson-long rec
ognized as a bidder for the
nomination - finally made it
formal and official at a Capitol
news conference.
His announcement came just
six days before the opening of
the Democratic convention in
Los Angeles, and signals a
stretch drive by his supporters
to stem the momentum gained
by Senator Kennedy of Massa-
chusetts.
Senator johnson said he had
withheld such an announce
ment until now because of his
duty to the people and to Con-
gress to remain on the job
while the legislators were in
session.
Someone has to tend the
store" he said.
Encouraged by Reports
AS for his prospects of OBJ
tanning the nomination at the
Los Angeles convention next
week, he said he was en-
couraged by reports from many
of his supporters that he might
obtain a majority vote on the
third ballot.
He insisted, however, that
he was not making any predic-
tions as to how many delegates
would support him on any Of
the earlier ballots. He also de-
clared, II would never try to
tell the delegates to bind them
selves in advance.
At the outset of his prepared
statement. he made no refer
ence by name to Senator Ken
nedy or any of the other po-
tential candidates for the
nomination.
He stressed the Importance,
however, of selecting a nomi-
nee who could and would
stand out in front to lead us
when all the forces of evil in
the world stand ready to strike
at us" in case of any sign Of
weakness.
