Kennedy's Hopes Hang

the leaders interviewed believe
Senator Kennedy may well win
the nomination on vote

the end of the first convention
ballot.
Delegate counts provided yes
terday by the rival camps tend
to substantiate that prediction,
They agree in placing Senator
Kennedy's first ballot strength
"in the 500s." Needed for the
nomination are 761 votes.
His bedrock strength is made
up of ia New England votes;
the 100 votes he secured in the
Wisconsin, Indiana and Ohio
primaries, to which Maryland
will probably add "a on Tues

The most decisive week 80 far
in the battle for the Democratic
presidential nomination has
shifted control of the conven-
ton from the opponents of Sen
ator Kennedy to the favorite
sons and the heads of the un-
committed delegations.
That, in summary, is the
judgment of political strategists
contacted yesterday by The Star
in a survey of the post-West
Virginia Democratic scene.
Senator Kennedy, in their
opinion, has not yet mailed
down" the nomination. But he
has vastly increased his
chances of winning it by elm
mating Senator Humphrey
from the race and bringing the
bulk of the New York dele
cation into his camp. Now, it
appears, just eight States hold
his key to. success.
Unless his rivals, Senator
Symington and Senator John, :
son, are able to shore up their
position in the next few weeks,

President Eisenhower left last
night without any fanfare for
the m ON mentous East-West

The President doffed his gray
hat, tossed a salute at the press

diplomats and briskly walked
up the steps to the orange and

him to Paris.
There was no applause and
the President made no remarks.

The governor also turned
down Morton's suggestion that
he serve at the convention

The Republican National

the Governor about the jobs
earlier this week.
Mr.. Rockefeller's letter was
considered a bold move to
squelch once and for all any
possibility that he serve as run

Nixon, who appears certain to
head the Republican slate.
Mr.. Nixon repeatedly has
favored Gov. Rockefeller as his
running mate and various over

Governor. But Gov. Rockefeller
has refused to give the Vice
President his Endorsement for

Khrushchev AssuiIs
Cold War Revival
Soviet Effort
To Divide
West Seen
BY WILLIAM L. RYAN
Associated Press staH Writer

PARIS. May IA - Nikita
.Khrushchev arrived today for
"a showdown summit meeting
on world tensions and tartly
but cautiously-accused un-
named influential circles of try
ing to preserve a cold war at
mosphere.
I Western officials at once de-
tected signs Of an attempt by
the Soviet premier to drive a
wedge between the United
States and its Western allies.
Mr.. Khrushchev's tone was
cautious in an airport address.
One highly placed Westerner
said it seemed the Soviet leader,
while anxious not to wreck the
summit meeting in advance by
playing too heavily on the U-2
plane incident, still was under
severe pressure from his own
politicians at home to continue
talking tough.
Seeks Meetings
At the same time Westerners
regarded as highly significant
Khrushchev's prompt move to
arrange a meeting with British
Prime Minister Macmillan, who
arrives tomorrow morning, two
hours after President Eisen-
hover. A Khrushhcev meeting
with President de Gaulle of
France already had been ar
ranged earlier.
Both these meetings were ar
ranged upon Mr.. Khrushchev's
initiative, and observers found
in this an indication that he
was attempting to divide the
Western allies. There was no
Khrushchev request for a meet
ing with President Eisenhower,

Whut Level Is Right?

In q gallery pictures are
hung as nearly as possible
at eye level, or just above
eye level. In a home this
rule is more flexible. Small
pictures should be where
they can be seen at closer
range, therefore lower. Larg-
er pictures may be hung
higher to escape being COW
cred or partially covered by
activity at floor level. but
not too far above furniture
tops to create an awkward
break or too close to the
ceiling to put them above
convenient visual range.
In framing a picture an
artist tries to blend picture
and frame, to pull the pic
ture together" and give it
a unity of its own. separate
from its surroundings, He
knows that interior design
has become simpler today
in some cases so much so
that his picture may look
better, and fit better into a
room, If it has just a mar
row border or no frame at
all.
Today's frames, then, are
generally simpler. chosen to
complement the picture and,
II possible, to flt in with the

Meet the Artist?
Another angle to consider
is that you may want to meet
the artist. He may be able to
help in adjusting the frame
to blend with your room, or
he may be able to show you
other works which you would
like better than the one seen,
or ones which would be more
within your price range.
Don't accept as final an
estimate of the work of an

After all, who knows what
art is good?
Don't put a small picture
at or near the center of a

group and reserve the center
for q larger picture.
