LOS ANGELES, July IA. -
Senator Kennedy's close advis-
ers today were sounding out
political leaders of the big
Northern and Midwestern
states on the possibility of SEN
ater johnson of Texas as the
Democratic nominees running
mate.
Robert F. Kennedy, the NOM
inee'S brother and chief assist
ant, talked this morning with
Ray Miller, Ohio political lead
er, about Senator Johnson
being on the ticket.
He also was conferring with
Mayor Richard j. DAILY of Chi
cago and Mayor Robert Wagner
of New York before a decision
is reached on the vice presiden-
tial nomination.
An aide said Senator Kenne-
dy expected to "go down to see"
Senator johnson later.
Mr.. Kennedy said his brother
would decide, probably by mid
afternoon, on a running mate
and would disclose the decision
at once. His choice will go be-
fore the Democratic convention
in a session starting at 8
o'clock tonight, Washington
time.
Night of Negotiations
Senator Johnson's name
came to the forefront in the
vice presidential speculation
after a hectic night of negotia-
ton and conferences following
Senator Kennedy's sweeping
victory in winning the presi-
Dental nomination.
The Kennedy advisers said
they did not know whether
Senator Johnson would accept
the nomination and that no
negotiations looking toward
this end had taken place.
Senator Kennedy, who will
make the final decision, ar
rived at his Biltmore Hotel
headquarters at 1870 pm,
Washington time, and said his
first scheduled visitors would
be Gov. David Lawrence of
Pennsylvania and Mayor Daley
While the Democratic nomi-
nee had nothing to say about
the vice presidential situation,
his advisers said the selection
lof a running mate would be
the chief business Of the Sen
ator in a round of conferences
during the day.

Star Stan Writer

LOS ANGELES, July IA
Senator John F. Kennedy of
Massachusetts, won the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination
in a sweeping first-ballot VIC
tory last night, and promptly
sought to pull all factions of
the party behind him.
One of the youngest men ever
nominated, he defeated two
older Senate colleagueS-John-
son of Texas and Symington of
Missouri and smothered the
loyal hackers of a draft-Steven-
son movement.
The tall, slender 43-year-old
son of a wealthy New England
family is only the second nomi-
nee to be drawn from the Sen
ate, and the second Roman
Catholic to head a major party
ticket. The first Catholic, AL
fred E. Smith of New York,
was nominated by the Demo-
Gratis 80 years ago.
With Vice President Nixon
virtually certain to be nomi-
mated by the Republicans in
Chicago two weeks hence, the
country is in for a battle royal
this fall between two young and
personable standard bearers
both N>ef whom have proven
themselves TO be masters Of the
art of campaigning.
In the Bag
When the roll call began at
1000 pm. Q;09 am. in Wash
ington) there were few if any
in the crowded Sports Arena
who did not know that the
Massachusetts, Senator had it
in the bag.
Large blocs of Southern votes
for Senator johnson near the
top of the ballot sheet made it
seem a close race for a few
minutes. But when the big
States began to throw most of
their votes to Senator Kennedy
; his total climbed rapidly.
When Wyoming, the 5Oth
/ State on the alphabetical list
J was reached, Senator Kennedy
had 750 votes, only II short of
the majority required for nom
ination. The Wyoming dele
CATION saw it's chance to get
the glory of putting him over,
) and lost no time in seizing it.
It gave the Senator all of its
Is votes.
Near Miss for d. c.
The District of Columbia,
t. which narrowly missed the
honor of giving Senator Ken
I nedy the nomination, gave him
its 8 votes a moment later.
1 Gov. Robert B. Meyner of
New Jersey also missed out. A
'' favorite son, he had been au-
= thorized by his delegation to
y withdraw in favor of Senator
t Kennedy, at his discretion, at
the end of the first ballot. But
4 by that time Senator Kennedy
: already was over the top, with
a 8O6 votes.

Jordan, UARs
In Sta|en1ate

SHTAURA, Lebanon, Aug. az
(AP). = The Arab League
countries today were locked in
a stalemate over the issue Of
creating a Palestine entity.
After more than eight hours
of sharp debate the two lead
ing antagonists, Jordan and
the United Arab Republic, were
still far apart and unyielding
in their position.
Delegates from nine Arab
countries stalked out of their
third session on the Palestine
issue yesterday and said only
they would meet again today.
The UAR had proposed a
plan to create a Palestine en-
tity." or government in exile
and an army formed by Pales-
tine refugees.
Jordan. whose territory west
of. the Jordan River was once
part of Palestine, opposes the
UAR scheme.
The Jordanian plan, accord
ing to high-level informants
called for formation of a COM
mittee of experts to study the
Palestine question in all its
aspects - political, economic
and military.
This committee would draw
up recommendations for CO.
ordinated Arab action to re-
gain the lost territory of Pal
estine.
Pressed for details of the
plan, Jordanian sources would
only say it was intended to
make more effective measures
against Israel, for instance, by
Tightening the economic boy
colt.
