KENNEDY BANDWAGON California's Gov. Brown It's By PAUL HARVEY IT WAS A SAD, sickening thing to see this convention capitulate before it convened. I to release this pent-up disgust until it could not possibly be construed as an effort to influence anybody. I am not a delegate and I am old-fashioned enough to think the selection of the nominee should be left to persons thus officially designated. But you don't have to be a cow to tell when the milk is sour! For many weeks prior to the convention the men mentioned as most likely had been preening and posing and dancing in illusory.

There are many politicians who are pondering right now whether to desert their respective heroes and clamber aboard the Kennedy "bandwagon," but, even as they do so, they wish they could be cheering for Lyndon Johnson of Texas. For they think that of all the Democratic aspirants, he alone can win in November. How Do You Stand, Sir?

Kennedy has the votes to win the nomination, but a majority of the delegates themselves, if they had not been irrevocably committed in advance to the Massachusetts Senator, would vote this week for Sen.

Kennedy, the Massa their corners. Here in Los Angeles we all awaited eagerly the arrival of each. Surely when the Congressional adjournment bell sounded the hopefuls would come out swinging. The bell sounded and they threw in the towel. HARRY TRUMAN, scared off by the Kennedy headlines, stayed home and pouted.

Adlai Stevenson entered on tiptoe running against Nixon but not daring to take on Kennedy. His bird in the hand was a secretary of statesship or, conceivably, he might become a deadlock breaker. He dared not speak out against Kennedy. Senator Stu Symington, instead of running against Kennedy, used every public utterance to disassociate himself from Truman, figuring the Vice Presidency was as much as he could hope for. Why does Symington even Johnson consider the Vice Presidency when there is more importance in his Senate seniority? chusetts "charm boy," becomes the Democratic presidential nominee tonight, we would strongly advise The answer to that is as basic as a name in the history books or preferred seating at 'Capitol social functions.

Johnson, fearing vindictiveness for the "duration" of a Kennedy administration, mouthed platitudes. Thus it was that with brainwashing by Butler, blackmail by Bobby and promises of political payola, the front runners all dropped out of the race. AND BOB KENNEDY made good on his arrogant, arbitrary weeks-earlier prediction: it will all be over before the first gaveL You cannot beat somebody with nobody. Jim Farley, alone, dared to launch a slashing attack against Kennedy in his appearance before Los Angeles Rotary. To Farley, Kennedy was a boy seeking a man's job.

Kennedy had no earthly claim to the nomination, except that he did put together a political machine that was able to count its chickens before the conven WESLEY STOUT i every serious-minded voter to spend a little time check ing the legislative record of this man. In his long and carefully planned "blitz" operation "Mr. President as I now speak, the world is waiting for another round of diplomatic conferences between East and West A full-scale summit meeting is scheduled for spring; later on. President Eisenhower and Premier Khrushchev will have further talks in the Soviet Union. And we are told this is only the beginning of a long-range American policy to try to settle world problems by negotiation.

"As the preparations for the to win the Democratic nomination, Sen. Kennedy has studiously avoided emphasizing his legislative record Vas one of his primary qualifications for office. In most of his primary campaigns it was his religious affiliation rather than his debate and we feel quite have things that way. But, if Sen.

Lawrence spring meetings go forward, I am struck by a singular fact: No one on our side claims let alone believes that the West will be stronger after these new negotiations than it is today.

"The same was true last summer. 1 Wfe agreed to 'negotiate about Berlin not because wo hoped to gain anything by such talks, but because the Communists had created a 'crisis and we could think of nothing better to do about it than go to the conference table. "JUL PRESIDENT, I maintain there is harm in talking under present conditions. There are several reasons why this is so. First of all.

Communists do not look upon negotiations, as we do, as'an effort to reach an agreement For them, negotiations are simply an- instrument of political warfare. "For example, when the Soviets challenged our rights in West Berlin, we handed them victory by the mere act of sitting down at the conference table. By agreeing to negotiate on that subject we agreed our rights in Berlin were 'negotiable' something they never were before. "OUR ANSWER to Khrushchev's ultimatum should have been that the status of West Berlin concerns only West Ber liners and the occupying powers, and is therefore not a matter we are prepared to discuss with the Soviet Union. "That would' have been the end of the Berlin crisis.

"MR. PRESIDENT, the next time we are urged to rush to the conference table in order to relax world tensions, let our re-, action be determined by this simple fact: The only tensions that exist between East and West have been created, and deliberately so, by the Communists. "They can, therefore, be relaxed by the Kremlin's unilateral act The moment we decide to relax tensions by a negotiated compromise, we have decided to yield something of value to the West" How do you stand, sir?

In a 1912 Ft Myers Press we found this: "There was great excitement at Wulfert Tues-. day. The town was awakened from her midday nap by an unusual sound. We sat up, rubbed our eyes and listened. Hark! Can it be? No! Yes, it is! We rushed to our doors and craned our necks.

There's I about it Ev- "i i ery conver- 1 ill I tion with twn iiiLJ key men in LAWRENCE various delegations confirms that appraisal. The feeling is that Johnson could surely win in November and that Kennedy is likely to be beaten by Nixon. The contrast is between a youthful candidate and an experienced leader. Then why doesn't the convention nominate the man of its choice? That's a good question, and to answer it one must be familiar with the arts of pre-convention strategy, and influence of organization politics at the local level AGAIN AND AGAIN, as one talks to delegates of the independent type, they bemoan the fact deals and trades inside the states have brought Sen. Kennedy his delegate strength.

They tell of the early efforts of pro Kennedy men, extending back for four years. It takes time and money to line up a first-or second-ballot victory such as Sen. Kennedy has in sight. Some estimates are that $3,000,000 has been spent in the Kennedy movement This means commitments were made months ago. It shouldn't be inferred votes were actually bought, but in politics the ambitious are ready to give support for what they can get out of it later, either through appointments to office, or other favors in federal, state, or city governments.

The Kennedy strength is incalculably greater than bis opponents ever believed.

It is a letter written in 1907 by a President of the United States to his Secretary of War. It shows how we felt toward Cuba 53 years ago, and the same holds true today. The letter Is from President Theodore Roosevelt to Secretary of War William Howard Taft At the time it was marked per sonal and confidential.

Dated Jan. 22, 1907, it reads: "My Dear Mr. Secretary: "In reference to Magoon's two letters of the 13th and 16th, which are returned herewith, I need hardly add to what I said this morning. There can be no talk of a protectorate by us. Our business is establish peace and order on a satisfactory basis, start the ne gov-eminent, and then leave the Island; the Cuban Government taking the reins into its own hands; though of course it might-be advisable for some little time that some of our troops should stay in the" Islands to' steady things.

He did his very best to sabotage the Landrum-Griffin labor reform bill in the Senate last year and would have succeeded but for the interven-tion of the people who demanded passage of this meas- ure in such resounding fashion that Sen. Kennedy finally had to accept a far stronger bill than he wanted passed. 1 The record shows also that Sen.

Kennedy has strongly supported legislation to Increase government interference in housing, education and many other fields, all of which have served to push the nation closer to socialism. He has voted for big, inflationary spending pro-grams regardless of the staggering impact these programs would have on the federal budget. He has voted against curbing the Supreme Court in its endeavor to nullify existing legislation protecting the nation from the Communist conspiracy right in our own land. He has voted to abolish the loyalty oath in the educational aid program and to pour millions of tax dollars into aid programs for Communist nations like Yugoslavia and Poland. He supported legislation to Pass In Review LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Letter Dispatched 53 Years Points Up Present Cuban resume the sale of farm surpluses to the Communist bloc and he favors the repeal of the Connally Amend- ment which is presently acting to keep this nation's constitutional sovereignty the International World Court.

ONE OF Carl Hellpen's favorite yarns concerns West Point New England visitor, and a Southern cadet The cadet was showing the visitor about the grounds.

The Mewtt As a former city of Ft Lauderdale employe, I noted with interest and I quote Dr. M. Jay Flipse at the recent annual conference of the Southern Assn. of Workmen's Compensation Administrators. Employment can trigger heart conditions which, thus, become compensable under the workmen's compensation law.

Employment can aggravate existing conditions which lead to heart attacks. In my case, while under stress in the performance of my duty, I was stricken with a coronary heart attack. After a period of convalescence I reported to the now departed personnel director and told him I was ready for work again. He told me I was no longer an employe and that I was merely a temporary employe. When I produced a statement showing I was a perma- nent employe he replied the city is run on a business basis just like any other firm.

In other words, your services are no longer required. After waiting for over a year, my case finally came up before the deputy commissioner of the Industrial Commission. In all that time I received no com- pensation from the city or insurance company. It was finally settled for my hospital bill and a part of my doctor's bilL. I hope by now city employes are protected more than I was.

CLEAR CONSCIENCE EDITOR'S NOTE: Although there are some instances in which an employe who suffers a heart attack is eligible to re ceive benefits under the Florida Workmen's Compensation Law, not every heart attack that occurs on-the-job is compensable. It must be shown that acciden. tal injury or disability is "a direct result" of the employment In the case of "Clear Conscience," records in the office of the Workmen's Compensation Division of the Florida Industrial Commission show that he "did not sustain a compensable injury and that the coronary thrombosis suffered by the claimant was not causally connected with his employment On the basis of this stipulation, agreed to by the claim, ant his attorney and the attorney for the city's insurance company, the commissioner dismissed the claim "with preju-dice." As to the complaint that the city refused to re-hire him, it would be difficult to determine the true circumstances at this time. In general, however, although an employer is not legally bound to rehire a disable employe, it is regrettable if the employer does not assume a moral responsibility to find a place for him.

1: LL THIS is not campaign propaganda. It is a matter of public record, which amply testifies to the political beliefs of a presiden- tial who would like voters to believe it is his religious beliefs rather than his record which is the greatest barrier to his occupying the White House. The religious issue will not be a legitimate nor a sensible issue if young Mr. Kennedy wins the Democratic nomination tonight as no jman's religious affiliations should be a determining factor as regards fitness for the presidency. But a candidate's legislative record 'and his political beliefs are legitimate and determining campaign -issues, as it is these things which permit voters to judge what kind of a president a man will be.

r- We say that Sen. Kennedy's legislative record and his admitted -political beliefs will make him the most liberal and the most social-'. istically inclined president the nation will have had since the days of FDR and some of Sen. Kennedy's prescriptions for the nation's economic and social ills go far beyond anything FDR would have even dreamed. This is why we urge thinking voters to well consider the record of Sen.

John F. Kennedy should he win the Democratic presidential nomination tonight, If voters want a confirmed and dedicated liberal "i in the White House who has never had to face the necessity of earning a living, then Sen. Kennedy is their man. But should voters desire something else, then we advise them to look elsewhere for the qualities they want in a president, as Kennedy's record is not very appeal- ing to conservative, economy-minded voters who look beyond his 1 "boyish charm" to see what's underneath.
