BALTIMORE. Aug, H.
Maryland's seven Democratic
members of Congress, con-
cerned with their own Repub-
lican opposition. last night de-
manded "our fair share of the
loot" from a $l00-a-plate din
ner which Senator Kennedy
will address September is to
help finance his presidential
campaign here.
Michael j. Birmingham, ma
tional committeeman, made the
announcement of Senator Ken
Iledy's acceptance for the din
ner at the Pikesville Armory
at a well-attended dinner meet
ing to top party leaders from
every county and Baltimore
City legislative district.
He also said Eve have been
almost assured" that Senator
johnson will bring his vice
presidential campaign to the
State on the same evening.
Mr.. Birmingham managed a
similar fund-raising dinner in
1858 when former President
Truman was the speaker. He
said 1000 tickets were sold then
and predicted at least $500
will be sold this year.
Queries on Division
1t was at this point that
Representative Lankford, who
faces Republican opposition on
November 8. like the other six
Congress members present,
asked how the money from the
dinner will be divided between
presidential and congressional
campaigns.
For an answer. Mr.. Birming-
ham yielded to State Chairman
Thomas B. Finan. who. with
William D. Macmillan, q Balti-
more attorney, is serving as CO.
chairman Of the Johnson Ken
nedy campaign in Maryland.
I'VE haven't had a chance to
work that out yet" Mr.. Finan
replied. "Well work it out on
an equitable basis"
II think you all should rea-
lize." Mr.. Lankford told the
meeting. that we're in a pecu-
liar year. I think this only
happens once every 20 or "a
years when there are no State
wide Offices to be elected in a
presidential year. This year we |
congressional candidates. are
the ones on the firing line.
Asks Fair Share
II just want to get in my plug

other Congressmen-for our

Came aslapse' Of eight years
and Stans went back in 1858,
this time to bag q bongo. That
was an ambitious project, as
anyone who knows African
hunting can testify, because the
bongo Is a rarity among rarities.
A lonely recluse, the bongo is
extremely wary. hiding out DUR
ing the day and feeding only at
night. Although a big animal
Ia full-grown bull may weigh
500 pounds-the only way one
may get to see one Is to get UP
long before dawn, find its tracks
with the first light and perhaps
flush 1t out If one can find its
hiding place.
Has Reddish Hide
In appearance the bongo re-
sembles other antelopes, but
with a reddish hide and from
nine to l3 vertical white stripes.
Curiously enough, there may
not be the same number of
stripes on each side. It's horns
are long and curved. The crea-
ture's habitat Is the deep forest
of the Congo, parts Of French
Africa and several mountains
in Kenya.
On that 1858 trip. stans
hunted two weeks at the 10000
foot level Of Mount Kenya. The
trip ended when he developed a
sudden fever, found a tick on
his back and after four or five
days landed in the hospital at
Nairobi.
Next bongo trip was a year
ago in October. STAINS then tried
