Speculate On Choice Os 1956 Kefauver Men By WILLIAM THEIS United Press Internationa! WASHINGTON (UPD — Where are those 1956 Kefauver delegates going in 1960? Sen. Estes Kefauver <D-Tenn.'. who beat Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.) for the Democrats’ vice presidential nomination three years ago, isn’t sure which 1960 presidential contender will get the delegates* support. He thinks most of them are “holding off”— waiting to see how the present Kennedy lead stands up, whether twice-defeated Adlai E. Stevenson gets into the race, how Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D-Minn.) fares in the first primary tests. "That's my position, too,” Kefauver told this reporter. "I tell friends -who ask me for advice to do what they want—that I haven't made up my own mind about whom to support.” It’j clear that the coonskin cap candidate, who gave Stevenson the shock of his life by winning the 1956 Minnesota primary, is only seeking re - election to the Senate next year. But it's also likely that some staunch Kefauver supporters in other states still want him for the presidency. Many Looking Elsewhere Kefauver’s campaign approach may have seemed ham - handed and inept, but he would up with S>s% delegate votes to 589 for ennedy on the second ballot for vice president at Chicago on Aug. 17, 1956. The Tennessean topped Kennedy on the first ballot, 483 V-i-304. Many of Kefauver’s delegates were the “hard core” type that candidates dream about. He won them with a stumping, handpumping campaign that money couldn’t buy. Many of them now are looking elsewhere. Humphrey will inherit Kefauver support in his home state of Minnesota. He also may get some more in neighboring Wisconsin. In New Hampshire, which has the nation’s first 1960 presidential primary, many former Kefauver delegates will be for Kennedy. Some mdiwest Kefauver support has gone to Sen. Stuart Symington (D-Mo. >. In delegate - rich California, where Gov. Edmund G. (Pat' Brown is preparing himself for the “favorite son” role, the state’s 1960 delegation is expected to be “representative” of the liberal field. This means potential votes for Stevenson, Humphrey or Kennedy, rather than for Symington or Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas. Might Be for Gore Kefauver got 33 of California’s 68 votes on the first ballot last time, to 23Vk for Humphrye, 10% for Kennedy, and 1 for Brown. On the winning second ballot, Kefauver took 50 of the 68. Some former Kefauver supporters in California think Estes could “exercise some influence in California today if he chose to.” They say the same of Stevenson. For the record, Kefauver may have trouble being for anyone but his Tennessee colleague, Sen. Albert Gore. The junior senator from Tennessee had 178 votes on that first ballot for vice president in 1956, including all 56 from Texas. Gore is still in the wings. But his friends say he has some scattered support outside of Tennessee. Like Kefauver. he is a seasoned legislator with 20 years of congressional service, six in the Senate where he is now an atomic affairs authority. He’s a close friend of wealthy Sen. Robert S. Kerr (D-Okla.), who made his own futile try for the presidential nomination in 1952, and of elder statesman Bernard Baruch. Gore lacks the coonskin cap but may have a routine that's better: He plays a terrific fiddle. ■ok MURDERED, MUTILATED — San Rafael, Calif„ police are looking for Robert Rogers, 87, tn the investigation of the mutilation murder of hie wife Bertie Ulyan, 85, shown with their children Butera, 10, and Larry, 4.

Os Mice. .And Women WASHINGTON (UPD—Girl babies exposed to X-ray three months before birth may become sterile adults. This theory, based on ~research with female mice exposed to X-ray before birth, was reported recently by Dr. W. L. Russell and associates at a meeting of the National Academy of Sciences. NormaFHeart Murmurs CHICAGO (UPD—In a soundproofed room, 'll normal adults were given a stethoscopic examination. All had murmurs. But the murmurs couldn’t be detected outside the sound-proofed room. Dr. Dale D. Groom, of the Medical College of South Carolina told the American College of Physicians that the “murmurs” in the “well” persons apparently were normal noises made by blood passing through the heart valves.

Firm Revocations • Are Moving Slowly INDIANAPOLIS (UPD Indiana's drive to revoke the right to do business in Indiana of an estimated 10 per cent of the firms incorporated with the secretary of state, rolled into Lake, Elkhart and St. Joseph Counties this week. Russell Davis, chief deputy to Secretary of State John R. Walsh, said the previously announced plan to remove from the records all firms which have failed to file annual reports as required by law, has been slow getting underway. News stories about the crackdown served to remind many corporation officials of their failure to file and the office was deluged with even more returns than normal for the weeks prior to August 1. “I think we are two or three mail sacks behind,” Davis said. “We don’t want to start revocation proceedings against a firm and then<find it has a report in the mail.” Revocations supervisor Richard Kreegar said revocation notices went to the principal offices and one official of firms from whom no report has been received for the past four years in Lake, Elkhart and St. Joseph Counties this week and the work will continue at the rate of “three or four counties a week.” He said some of the firms getting the notices hadn’t been heard from since 1931. “I would estimate that 10 per

cent of the corporations listed on our records are illegally in business,” Kreegar said. “They haven’t filed changes of address, changes of residence agents, or reports. “There is nothing to penalize a corporation for not filing except that its incorporation papers are subject to revocation.” Kreegar explained that two different approaches are required to revoke an incorporation. For incorporations prior [to 1943, the papers must go through the attorney general’s office. After that date the revocation orders are done by administrative act of the secretary of state’s office. But once the firm is ff the statehouse records, it takes court action to get back on. Davis said the revocation proceedings are being scattered over the ‘state so as not to put too heavy a burden on any one county. He estimated a circuit court could handle only about 20 of these cases a week. Eating For Less • CLEVELAND, Ohio (UPD— A good, hot lunch for 25 cents and a • near-banquet for 42 cents?
