81 haven't done anything really"
says Mrs. Arbogast 1--WE just done
the task that was set before me-"
When she started caring for her
own son he could neither walk nor
talk. She searched Libraries for
books on care of the Mongoloid
child. There were none.
She started from the beginning,
developing her own techniques.
Some she borrowed from methods
used in teaching Helen Keller. 1t
required vast patience: teaching
Grant to talk took IA years.
She saw early that her son need
ed friends. She met Mrs. Allen
Mccoy, fighting a similar go-it-
alone struggle for her son, Jerry.
They established a small school,
which grew, in time, to Los An
geles' nationally-knOwn Excep-
tional Children's Foundation.
1.-THE Mongoloid child" explains
Mrs. Mccoy, "is an unfinished child.
One whose brain develops too slow
ly. But he is capable of learning,
slowly.
''He is sensitive and easily con-
fused. His lessons must be reduc-'
ed to simplicity and require much
patience in the teaching"
The keys to therapy. the mothers
found, were these: love, under
standing and discipline Some of
their alumni are now attending
public schools as a result of ther-
apy. All of them have learned to
live happier lives.
And today the shelves are full
of books on care for such chill
dren-many OF them dealing with
the Arbogast techniques, or those
developed as a result of her work.
Her endeavors, say some, have
helped pull thinking about retard-
ed children ''out of the Middle
Ages"
For parents who fear their chill
dren may be less than normal, Mrs.
Arbogast has this advice:
Find out as quickly as possible,
seek aid-and accept the fact with
out dismay."

any substantial show of force
for any other candidate.
Clements Picked
! In a last-minute switch, Mr..
Clements was chosen a dele
gate-at-large to the national
convention, along with Gov.
Combs and 1t. Gov. Wilson
Wyatt, who was Mr.. Stevenson s
national campaign manager in
1852 and his personal adviser
in 1856.
Mr.. Wyatt declined to say
which presidential candidate
he favors. Until almost the
final vote, Mr.. Clements name
was not on the list of slated
delegates.
Notably absent from the
cheering convention throng
were Mr.. Chandler and former
Gov. Keen johnson, the Demo-
cratic nominee for the United
States Senate in November. Mr.
Chandler was reported "out in
the State" as his friends sur
rendered party control. Mr.
johnson is recovering from
surgery.
The convention named Mr.

conceded that Southern States
will provide the great bulk OF

that his initial support in such

and Pennsylvania-even though
the number of votes in each
case may be small-destroys the
argument that Senator John
son cannot gain support in
Northern urban centers.
Indeed, a johnson strategist
argued, Senator johnson is
much more likely to unity the
party for the general election
campaign than is Senator
Kennedy.
He put it this way: Kennedy
has already, in effect, written
of the South by saying he
hoped to win the nomination
without Southern votes. John
son has said and done nothing
that would keep labor leaders

Nixon Claims
More Strenqt|l
In Midwest
BY DAVID S. BRODER
Star stan Writer

Vice President Nixon is more
confident than ever that he
can carry the Midwest in No
vember, his press secretary as
serted yesterday.
Herbert G. Klein, the press
spokesman, told reporters the
tremendous reception" Mr..
Nixon received on his swing
through the Dakotas and Mis-
souri, last week has caused him
to "up his estimate of his own
strength" in the entire region.
Mr.. Klein also gave reporters

Vice President leading Senator
Kennedy, Adlai Stevenson and

all five States. Most of the
lpolls were taken in April and
may ana most were paid for
by various Nixon organizations.
Mr.. Klein said the Vice Presi-
dent recognizes the farm prob
lem remains a serious one, +"
but he does not believe it will
be "a dominant factor" in the
presidential campaign.
"The dominant ISSUE" he
said, will be the peoples as

1t was part Of the continuing
psychological warfare between

camps, with the former trying
to promote a bandwagon psy-

Leaders of the campaign for
Senator Symington of Mis-
souri, also said yesterday they
expected the two favorite son
Governors. to join the Kennedy
forces in the near future.
But the argument of both
the Johnson and Symington
strategists was that even the 70
additional votes they expect
Senator Kennedy to gain in
New Jersey and California will
leave him short of the 761 he
needs for victory.

mittee.
Mr.. Walter called the stories
scurrilous and "a concoction of
half truths, untruths. smear

adjectives used in lieu of facts. I"
One of the series of articles
portrayed the committee as
staging a road show in which
the same witness in a number
of different cities opened over
seas mail bags and pulled out
Communist propaganda.
Authors Knew Explanation
The bags were opened in each
case by Irving Fishman, dep
uty collector of the United
States Customs Service at New
York. Mr.. Walter said the
suggestion that the hearings
were a travelling act "is not
only untruthful, but its preSen-

tation in this vein, after the
authors were three times given

is vile."
The series, by Reporters Don
Oberdorfer and Walter Pincus,
also reported vouchers turned
in by committee members for
$45 hotel and restaurant bills,
nightclub tabs and hired lin
cuisines.
Mr.. Walter deplored this,
saying the committees unvari-
able policy prohibits charging
entertainment, liquor or per-
sonal expenses to the Govern
ment.
