BY MARY LOU WERNER
Star Stan Writer

LOS ANGELES, July 16.-
Virginia's Gov. Almond gave
Senator Kennedy a vigorous
pledge Of his support when the
two had an unscheduled meet
ing here yesterday.
Sporting a Kennedy button,
Gov. Almond told the Demo-
cratic presidential nominee:
1T is no longer a hope that
Virginia will go Democratic
this time-it is a reality"
In 1852 and 1856, tradition
ally Democratic Virginia voted
Republican in the presidential
campaigns.
Gov. Almond and Senator
Kennedy had met several
times earlier on more formal
occasions. yesterdays en-
counter was an accidental one
in the lobby Of the Beverly
wiltshire Hotel. where the Vir-
ginia delegation is quartered
and where Senator Kennedy
had to come to see New York's
former Gov. Lehman.
When Virginians in the lobby
learned Senator Kennedy was
on his way down from Gov.
Lehman's room, they dis
covered Gov. Almond was with
out a Kennedy button. One
was hastily produced and
pinned to the Governors lapel
before Senator Kenne edy
alighted from the elevator.
Gov. Almond waxed enthu-
Siastic as he shook hands with
the smiling presidential nom
inee.
THE reports coming to us
from back home are all good
we are going all out for you,"
promised Gov. Almond who be-
gan running after the Kennedy
bandwagon the minute the
nomination was secure and
then jumped on with both feet
when Lyndon johnson was
added to the ticket. johnson
had been Virginia's choice for
the presidential spot.
Senator Kennedy told Gov.

by someone and repeated out
of context that led to a widely
disseminated report of one
columnist that Senator john
son and Speaker Sam Rayburn,
his chief backer, had got to-
gether and demanded the vice
presidential nomination as a
consolation prize.
tThe columniSt referred to
was John S. Knight, publisher
of the Knight newspapers.)
Bobby Kennedy also con-
ferred with Speaker Rayburn
during the afternoon and left
reassured. The nominee also
called on the Speaker per-
sonally.
He was told the Speaker had
heard reports that Senator
johnson was being considered
and right up to that moment
was opposed to it. But, the
Speaker said, If he wanted
Senator johnson to help the
ticket and the party, he, the
Speaker, would urge Senator
johnson to accept. The Speak
er also said Senator Kennedy,
as the nominee, ought to 60
out and say he wanted him.
Decision Reached
In this fashion, the decision
was finally reached. Between
2::30 and 3:15 pm, Senator
Kennedy prepared an an
nouncement, called Senator
johnson and cleared it with
him.
At 8 pm. he telephoned SEN
ator jackson OF washington, a
close personal friend who had
been hopeful Of the nomina-
ton, and told him of the de-
ciston. At the same time he
offered Senator jackson the
craftsmanship Of the Democra-
tic National Committee.
He saw Clark Clifford, one of
the supporters of Senator
Symington of Missouri, who
had been given the inside track
for second place after his un-
successful race for the presi-
dental nomination.
He passed the word to a few
key political figures.
At 1855 pm. he took an
elevator to the Biltmore Bowl
and told the world his choice.

Busy Evening
Juvenile Bureau personnel
reported a busy evening spent
answering telephone inquiries
on the law by parents. It ap-
peared that many parents had
kept their children home from
such legitimate activities as

misconceptions about the law.

by youngsters who knew the
law better than their parents
and wanted police to back
them up, they said.

adopted last month after al

much leeway in its enforce

Nixon Says Freedom Can Be Won For Satellite
 Countries Without War

WASHINGTON, LR Vice Pre- sident Nixon said today freedom must be restored in the Commun- ist satellite World-and that this can be done without war.
 The Republican presidential candidate addressed American Nationalities for Nixon Lodge, a group of citizens with ties to for eign countries, incluing some now behind the iron curtain.
 The speech opened the second week of Nixon's active campaign and came as Soviet Premier Khrushchev and satellite heads Of state arrived in New York.
 Nixon said the Communist lead CTS could be expected to hurl charges against the United States and wage propaganda campaign that the Soviet bloc is on the side of peace and progress.
 To applause from his audience, some of them wearing costumes native to Poland and Lithuania. Nixon said the United States must never make deals simply to pre- serve it's own prosperity and strength.
 Nixon said some people bring up the tragically crushed Hun garian uprising and ask how any liberation of satellites can be achieved without war.
 My answer is that tyrants have always underestimated moral force. As long as hope lives in the hearts of people, the tyrant is not safe" Nixon said.
 Nixon said the greeting a quar- ter million Poles gave him and other American officials when they visited Warsaw made it plain that "the United States was right in refusing to draw line across the middle of Europe and say all this belongs to Khrushchev'."
