The possibility of Johnson for president, Kennedy for vice president—or the other way around—has been suggested to unite the party. They are the two strongest candidates? ■, i I BUT NEITHER COMBINATION is considered politically realistic. Johnson has said he will support the ticket regardless of convention outcome. But if he does not work as bard in the coming special session of Congress to give the party as good a record on which to run as be will if he should be the presidential candidate, the campaign will be sabotaged. First job of the new candidates will ba to unite the party under a new national committee chairman.

Government By Riot Grows Over World
yftfrrX By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign Editor Government by riot has become a distressingly familiar news headline in recent weeks. Street mobs toppled the governments’ of Korea and Turkey and prevented President Eisenhower’s visit to Japan. In the cases of Korea and Turtoey it may be argued that thexmobs were acting against government abuses which could be eliminated in no other way. But in no case can it be argued that rule of the streets represents the orderly, democratic way nor can it be denied that mob action feeds upon iseJf, generating greater abuses than those it seeks to eliminate. Possibly with the successes of Turkey, Korea and Japan in mind, Italian Communists last week tried to shift Italian rule from the Quirinal PalaCe to the streets. There was historic as well as current precedent for the Communist attempt to topple the proWestern government of- * Premier Fernando Tambroni. Reds Unfed in Italy Next to the badly split Christian Democrats, the Conimunists are the strongest, and certainly the most unified, political force in Italy. In 1948, they unleashed a general strike in which 21 persons were killed. And, also in 1948, there was real fear among Western nations that the Communists would be able to win Italy’s .general elections. Aside from precedent, there was also the suspicious coincidence in last week's mob action that Italian Communist leader Palmiro Togliatti just had returned from a visit to Moscow, The action

suggested that the Italian oubreaks were a calculated part of Nikita Khrushchev’s stepped up cold war throughout the world. The Communists tied their campaign of violence agaidst Tambroni to an announced plan by Neo-Fascists to hold a convention in Genoa, a northern stronghold of Italian communism. They accused Tambroni of being a Fascist and of seeking to return Italy to Fascist rule. More Trouble Expected Tambroni’s is a caretaker government, pledged to see the country through the coming OBypg|pics and budgetary bills necessary to keep the government running. Alfter that, Tambroni is pledged to step down. UPI reporters in Rome say: After that look for new trouble. The Christian Democrats represent the great center of Italian voters. But not since toe death ot Alcide de Gasperi has a leader emerged who can hold hem together. A succession of Christian Democratic premiers has unsuccessfully relied either on the help or the abstention of smaller parties, including Neo-Fascists and monarchists, for support. >■ The Communists once more have demonstrated their solidarity. Next fall wiU see a new attack on Italy’s ties with the West, including U.S. troop, naval and rocket installations* there.

Jones charged horses with four of these families as he sped along the wilderness trail, sotaelimes fording creeks, and made the 60-mile trip in five hours, according to Mark True, Indianapolis, who will re-enact the trip. “The postotfice people asked ne to dupJtoate the Tirst Hoosier pony express time-wise.

The Indiana re-enactment will be staged by postal authorities in connection with a national observance of the western pony express service which began 38 yeans later in 1860 and ran from St. Joseph, Mo. to Sacramento, Calif.
