A Democratic resolutions
committee with Representa-
tive Chester Bowles as chair
man can be expected to pro-
duce a liberal platform far
more trenchant and better
written than usual. He is
an expert advertising man, so
1t could even be mercifully
brief, though that is a lot to
hope for.
Mr.. BoWles is a former
Governor of Connecticut and
a Truman Ambassador to
India. He has shown himself
to be a man of large out
look and humane temper who
will not stoop to score the
mean debating points which
so often mar party platforms.
From the point of view of
the product itself, Democrats
agree that the party has put
a best foot forward in the
Bowles selection. There are,
however. aspects of National
Chairman Buffers maneuver-
ing on arrangements of which
the choice of Mr.. Bowles is
part that are less happily
noted within the party.
BowleS admirers who hope
that his dark-horse hue can
be lightened at the conven-
ton perceive that with respect
to advertising and glamour
he has been given the least
rewarding of the three big

rather than promote the Sem
ator's interests. The Sena-
tor, himself. certainly has no
desire to take a punitive line
outlawing the South and
alternating all moderate opin-
ion outside the South. And
he has excellent reasons not
even to seem to do so.
The permanent chairman
makes vital rulings on con-
vention procedure. Here,
again, the rest of the Demo-
cratic field will hope Mr..
Butler will try to push too
hard. For one thing, Sena-
tor Gore does not push easily.
And here again. as one Of
the other candidates puts it.
"those Kennedy fellows can
easily tear their britches"-
meaning to go so very far as
to provoke a convention re-
bellion quite outside of the
South.
In short, there is great
question whether Senator
Kennedy will profit from Mr..
Buffers extreme partiality.
Just as there is great question
that those ganging up on him
in West Virginia will profit
from it in the end.

distinctly a sideshow.
The propaganda advantage
in naming him goes to an
other candidate for President,
Senator Kennedy, for Con-
necticut is backing Senator
Kennedy and Mr.. Bowles is
the Senator's foreign policy
adviser. In view of Mr.. But
ler's recent assist to the Ken
nedy candidacy, it seems fair
to say the chairman planned
1t that way.
1t is also being recalled
that when Mr.. Butler was
pushing Representative Boggs
OF Louisiana for permanent
chairman of the convention,
he insisted that Representa-
tive Boiling of Missouri could
not be considered because
Mr.. Boiling is from presiden-
tial candidate Symington's
State. The choice of Mr..
Bowles fatty contradicts Mr..
Buffers own anti-Bolling ar
gument.
However, it gives him an
excuse to eliminate Mr.. Boil

word is now being passed

DAVID LAWRENCE
Kennedy Answers the Question

to Mr.. Truman as "a Presi-
dent who happened to be a
Baptist"
On birth control, Senator
Kennedy was outspoken. He
said that while the prospects
Of such a bill coming before
any President were remote,
nevertheless he would mel
ther veto nor sign such a bill
on any basis except what I
considered to be the public
interest, without regard to
my private religious views.
I have said the same about
bills dealing with censorship,
divorce, our relations with
Spain or any other subject"
The Massachusetts, Sen
ator's voice rose as he made
this point about the effect
Of "the religious issue" in
external affairs:
"Are we going to admit to
the world that a Jew can
be elected Mayor of Dublin,
a Protestant can be chosen
Foreign Minister of France,
a Moslem can serve in the
Israeli Parliament - but a
Catholic cannot be President
Of the United States? Are we
to tell Chancellor Adenauer,
for example, that we want
him risking his all on our
front lines, but that-if he
were an American-we would
never entruSt him with our
presidency - nor would we
accept our distinguished
guest, Gen. de Gaulle? Are we
to admit to the world-worse
still, are we to admit to our
selves-that one-third of our
population is forever barred
from the White House?
so, I am not impressed
by those pleas that I settle
for the vice presidency in
order to avert a religious
spectacle. Surely those who
believe it dangerous to elect
a Catholic as President will
not want him to serve as Vice
President, a heartbeat away
from the Office"
When the speech was con-
cluded, and the Senator was
given a round of applause,
the presiding officer called for
questions from members of
the society. There was an
absolute silence. Apparently
Senator Kennedy had an

Under Mr.. Buffers direction,
one valuable post, the chair

A rare spectacle in Amer
lean politics occurred here
yesterday as a United State-
Senator pluntly and en-
phatically told the annual
convention of the American
Society Of Newspaper Editors
that he would not allow the
Roman Catholic Church to
influence him if he were

Senator John F. Kennedy
of Massachusetts, De m o.
crat. made an impressive and
stirring plea for the squelch-
ing of the religious issue in
American campaigns.

"to be the first Catholic Pres

Significantly, the arrange

insist on a package deal of
the three key jobs-platform
chairman. keynoter and per-

left the chairman free to put
his ducks in a row for the
two remaining vacancies.
None of this is trivial in a
wide-open convention, as the
Los Angeles conclave will be.
In fact, circles close to Mr..
Butler were the first to say
that in such a fluid situation

be more powerful than usual

and, If there were those who

So great was their evan

Thousand State Delegates Now Aim
For Governor Candidate in 1862

The new civil rights bill
provides the opportunity. The
Negro vote has been Demo-
cratic in national elections
since New Deal days. 1t was
not large. Voting registration
was largely confined to the
cities. In rural areas it was
coercively restricted to token
members or forbidden.
There were actually 90 Of
these goose egg" counties in
Southern States, more than
half of them in Mississippi,
where not a single Negro
voter was on the list. Such
short-sighted folly led to the
enactment of civil rights
legislation. Unless leadership
acts at least to diminish such
practices, there will be more
rights legislation in the next
Congress. Flagrant evasion of
the new laws which President
Eisenhower will soon receive
for signing will give enough
impetus to pass it.
Republicans in the South
ern border States, and those
in Florida, Tennessee, Texas
and Georgia, know that Negro
voters will increase in num-
ber. They will not vote DEM
ocratic in the foreseeable
future after having viewed
the filibuster and listened to

If the G. o. P. national

classes in citizenship respon-

way to ecclesiastical pres
sures or obligations Of any
kind that might in any fash

your conduct of that Office
in the national INTEREST," I
have answered that question
many times. My answer was

once that question is an
swered, there is no legitimate
issue Of my religion. But
there are. I think. legitimate
questions of public policy
of concern to religious groups
which no one should feel
bigoted about raising, and
which I do not object to an

being the only candidate re-
quired to answer those ques-
tions.
Federal assistance to pa
rochial schools, for example,
is a very legitimate issue
actually before the Congress.
l am opposed to it. I believe
it is clearly unconstitutional.

doubtless a slip. For in the

The Emperor is regarded

BY playing down Mr.. Kishi's
role, the government hopes to
soften the political implications
of the visit which the leftists
have linked to the security

Mr.. Eisenhower's visit orig
inally was billed as a goodwill
trip commemorating the Tooth
anniversary of Japan-United
States relations. He was ex-
pected to address a joint ses-
sion of Parliament, but this
will probably be dropped as a
result of the Socialist boycott.
The left wingers have been
demonstrating in front of the
United States Embassy, but the

American was reported today

neSSman.

car and Spat on it last Satur-
day as he drove near the Japa-
nese Parliament.
The husky former Marine

ant, who served in Japan until

pulled him away.
