THE POLITICAL MILL
Party Set to Gamble on Kennedy
BY GOULD LINCOLN

The Kennedy people-and
Senator Kennedy himself
insist that he reached his
present strong position La
which he may win the noml-
nation on the first or second
ballot without owing any
one anything" without hav-
ing made any deals. There
fore, they say, he is in posi-
ton to pick the man who is
to be his running -mate-a
prerogative which usually has
been exercised by every preSi-
dental nominee. Republican
or Democrat. An exception
was when Adlai Stevenson in
1856 threw the selection open
to the convention, resulting
in a hair-raising race be-
tween Senator Kefauver Of
Tennessee and Sen tor
Kennedy. Fortunately for
Senator Kennedy, he lost.
Senator Kennedy is shut
off from picking an fastener
since he himself is from that
section of the country. He
must, according to political
dogma. turn to the West,
Midwest or the South. He
also must decide whether he
should have a fellow Senator
in second place or whether
he should have a Governor.
In many decades only one
sitting Senator has been
nominated and elected Presi-
dent-Warren G.. Harding.
The Democrats have mostly
gone to Governors for their
candidates. To have a ma
tional ticket composed of two
Senators would fly in the face
of all precedent. If Senator
Kennedy is to select a Sena-
tor it could be Hubert Hum
phrey of Minnesota, Senator
Symington, Senator johnson
or Senator Jackson of Wash
ington. Senator Humphrey is
said to be disinclined to ac-
cept a vice presidential nomi-
nation. He has to run next fall
for reelection to the Senate,
which he may easily win. If
he runs for the vice presi-
dency, and should he lose in
November, he would be more
than a political lame duck.
He might be politically dead.
SymingtOn Could Gamble
Senator johnson, majority
leader of the Senate, has said
emphatically he will not take
a nomination for Vice Presi-
dent on a Kennedy ticket.
Although he, like Senator
Humphrey. is up for re-elec-
ton, Texas has arranged
things so he may run for
both Offices, if he wishes. In
deed, he has virtually been
reelected Senator already
Senator Symington. who
today has been much in the
gossip as a Kennedy running
mate, could well take the
gamble. since he is not up
for reelection this year and
the vice presidency would be
a fitting and dignified step in
his public service if he wins.
He is not dependent in a
financial way on a Govern
ment salary if he loses.
If Senator Kennedy is to
select a Governor as a run
nlng-mate, he could turn to
Orville Freeman of Mime
sofa, indorsed for the nomi-
nation by the Minnesota
delegation on the demand of
Senator Humphrey. Or he
could turn to Gov. Docking
of Kansas or Gov. Loveless of
Iowa-both from big farm
States where Senator Ken
nedy may need help. Or he
could pick Gov, Collins of
Florida, an able and progress

LOS ANGEGES, July IL.
The religious issue or no,
the youth and inexperience
or no, the Democrats have
determined. it appears. to
gamble for a presidential vic
tory next fall with Sena-
tor John F. Kennedy of
Massachusetts, as their can
didate.
While anything is pos
sible in a Democratic Ma
tional Convention, to one
arriving in this city for the
opening of the convention
today, the Kennedy victory
song fills the ears. Once
again the selection of a vice
presidential nominee seems
to be the only problem left
for the delegates-or rather
for Mr.. Kennedy-to settle.
Except, of course, for the
problem Of a civil rights
plank in the party platform.
This does not mean that
the supporters of Senator
Lyndon B. johnson of Texas,
or Senator Stuart Syming-
ton of Missouri or of Adlai
Stevenson of Illinois have
thrown in the sponge. They
have not. But they are up
against a growing swell of
pro-Kennedy sentiment, as
State after State holds its
caucus of delegates. It
would take a political mir
acle to turn Senator Kennedy
back.
Not Needing Truman
Former President Harry S.
Truman has said the con-
vention is "rigged" to bring
about a Kennedy nomina-
ton, with which he wants
nothing to do. Either Mr..
Truman feels that Senator
Kennedy will not make the
Chief Executive the coun-
try needs in these tough
times or he believes that
Senator Kennedy will not
win.
Mr.. Truman was the
prophet of Democratic mis-
fortune in 1856, when he
warned that Adlai Stevenson
would go down to worse de-
feat than in 1952-which at
the time did not seem either
probable or possible. But Mr..
Truman was correct. Today,
however, the Democratic
leaders gathered here appar-
emily are paying no more at
tention to Mr.. Truman's
warnings than they did four
years ago.
So much for the gamble
the Democrats appear willing
to take on Kennedy in their
bid for the presidency. 1t is
81 years since they NOM
mated for President a distin-
guished Catholic, the late
Gov. Alfred E. Smith of New
York. While the religious
issue was not the only reason
for Mr.. Smiths defeat, it
played its part. Democrats
supporting Senator Kennedy
are convinced that this issue
is no longer potent.
Nor has Senator Kennedy's
youth-he is 43 years old
proved much of a STUN
bling block. He has, indeed,
conducted himself well in the
preconvention campaign. He
has been unruf1ed under at
tack. He has kept his temper
well in hand. He has not
lashed out at Mr.. Truman,
who questioned his expert
ence and youth, or at any of
his other critics. Almost en-
tirely he has avoided per-
SonalitieS.

PuuIey Deal Revised

MEXICO CITY, Aug. S (AP)
William r. Pagen, executive
vice president of Pauley oil in
,erests, said yesterday the Mexi-
can government oil monopoly
(Pemex) has at no time at
tempted to cancel or materially
alter our contracts.
Pascual Gutierrez Roldan,
director Of Pemex, said earlier
this week new conditions had
been placed on the off-Shore
oil exploration conce ssion
held by Edwin w. Pauley.
Mr.. Roldan avoided use of the
word Cancellation" but indi-
Gated there had been certain
limitations included.
Mr.. Pagen. in a statement,
said there had been no can
collation. or modification of the
Pauley contracts negotiated in
l949 and which are for a period
of Is years"
But he said that after dis
cussions there had been mu-
tual agreement that the best
way to develop the large Santa
Ana field in the Isthmus of
Tehuantepec was through util-
ization of multi-well perma-
nent platforms"
In addition, it was further
agreed that in consideration
of Pauley reducing the price
from $3.50 to $2.20 a barrel for
81 degree gravity oil, Pemex
will take up to $4,000 barrels
of oil production per day from
this field.

The country's first complete
counseling service for the deaf
including personal, vocational
and educational aid-will be
launched this fall at Gallaudet
College.
The program will be available
to the deaf in the community
as we'll as to students at the
school.
$50 far as we know, there is
no center anywhere where the
skills and specialties of counsel
ing are assembled in one place
and wholly devoted to this
work." DR.. Howard L. Roy, di-
rector of the counseling CEN
ter, said yesterday.
The program will be launched
the first year with a $4,000
grant from the United States
Office Of Vocational Rehabilita-
tion. BY the end Of five years,
Gallaudet will have completely
taken over financing of the
program.
Addresses Alumni
DR.. Roy addressed the OPEN

nial reunion of the schools
alumni association on the
campus yesterday.
He said his entire staff will
have intensive, eight-hour-a-
day training in communication
in sign language and the
manual alphabet. as well as a
thorough orientation on prob
lens related to deafness.
This is vital, DR.. Roy noted.

GolIoudet to Launch
CounseIing for Deaf

Inability Of specialists to COM
municate with deaf persons
has blocked opportunities for
such services to the deaf in
the past.
The great bulk Of psychia-
trio and psychological coun-
selling depends on a free and
easy exchange of questions,
answers, ideas. between the
counselor and the person
being counseled.
Tragic Barrier
1T is a tragic thing that peo-
pie who need help should be
without it simply because of
the communication barrier"
DR.. Roy said.
Along with DR.. Roy, who has
served as research psychologist
with the personnel research
branch of the Department of
the Army and with the Office
of Vocational Rehabilitation,
the staff will include a clinical
psychologist and two general
counselors. The part time serv-
ices of a psychiatrist also will
be available, as we'll as a part
time psychometrist for testing.
DR.. Roy estimated that there
are more potential users of the
center than could be accommo-
dated within the first year or
two Of operation.
The alumni association meet
ipgS will continue through
Monday. About 200 men and
women from around the coun-
try and Canada have returned

Dead 15Years,
Rocket Pioneer
Gets i. 5. Cash
By the Associated Press

Fifteen years after the death
of Robert H. Goddard, rocket
pioneer, the Government has
agreed to pay a million dollars
for infringing on his patents.
The money, with the consent
of DR.. Goddard's widow, will go
to the Daniel and Florence
Guggenheim Foundation in New
York-a non-profit organization
which financed most Of the in
ventor's research between 1890
and 194l.
The settlement gives the Gov
ernment the right to use more
than 200 of DR.. Goddard's pat
ents including those found In
important liquid fuel missiles
such as the Air Force Atlas
and the Army's Jupiter and
Redstone.
DR.. Goddard, a father of
modern American rocketry,
started his pioneering work in
1914 when most people ridi-
culed the idea of firing rockets
far into space. He died in l945
before birth Of the giant mis-
sileS which now spearhead
United States defenses.
Agrees to Shift Rights
Under the agreement the Air
Force will pay $765,000, the
Army $125,000 and The Navy
$4,000. The remaining $780,
900 will be paid by the National
Aeronautics and Space Admin
istration.
The inventors widow, Mrs.
Esther C. Goddard of Worces-
ter. Mass, agreed to transfer
her rights for a consideration.
Size of the consideration was
not disclosed but her attorneys
said the Government agencies
involved were advised and
found it satisfactory.
Mrs. Goddard was reported
travelling in Europe and was
unavailable for comment. The
Guggenheim Foundation also
declined to discuss the settle
ment.
Started Research in 1914
Mrs. Goddard Is active in
rocket organizations and as in
tereSted in space developments
as she was in the days when
her husband was a struggling
young college professor.
DR.. Goddard started active
research in rockets in 1914,
while teaching at Clark Uni
versity at Worcester.
The Smithsonian Institution
financed his early efforts with
grants, and in 1917, when
World War I began, he worked
for the Army at the Mount
Wilson (Calif.) Observatory
and produced several tactical
rocket projectiles.
After the war military in
