By HENRY CATHCART

Central Press Washington Writer TfTASHINGTOX—The DemocraUc vice presidential nomination W race, despite its sub-rosa character, is getting hotter than ever. At its present stage there is real concern among some party professionals that it can hurt President Johnsons reelection prospects regardless of how it is solved eventually. The principal ingredient in the present disharmony is Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy, who, it can be reported on good authority, would like very much to be chosen for the number two spot

on the Johnson ticket.

Unfortunately for both Kennedy and Johnson, the two never did hit it off well when Bobby’s brother was president and Bobby himself held power that far surpassed his official Cabinet position. Now that the power situation has reversed itself, Johnson recalls several incidents when Bobby worked against his personal interests. Bobby, on the other hand, is super-sensitive to the fact that Johnson now

holds the whip hand, and has shown signs of

using it to Bobby’s personal detriment. At the same time, Bobby is keenly aware

of the political necessity for Johnson to hold onto the large and unusually loyal Kennedy

political faction within the Democratic party. Johnson is aware that the construction of that faction, in large measure, was due

to the political acumen of Bobby Kennedy.

It may be that in the end Johnson will have to bow to the political realities within his own party and select Bobby for vice presidential nominee. But if he does, it will be without the degree of conviction which normally accompanies such decisions. Johnson's real choice appears these days to be his anti-poverty campaign director, Sargent Shriver, or Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara. Should either of these men succeed in building a widespread favorable public image, one of them would have tha inside track, even if it means retiring Bobby from his “inside’*

position in Democratic party politics.

• PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION—Under the Constitution and present law, the United States will be without a vice president until 12 noon, on Jan. 20, 1965, when the winners in the November presidential elections will be inaugurated into office. Presently, the order of succession calls for 77-year-old House Speaker John McCormack to be first in the event of President Johnson’s death or incapacitation. In the event that McCormack should be unable to serve. Senate President Pro Tempore Carl Hayden, 86, would be sworn in. The advanced ages of the two men plus some other factors are the basis for all the concern about the present succession law as it applies to the existing situa- McCormack tion. There have been numerous abortive moves . - . . . in Washington and elsewhere to quickly change ' * the law so that a younger and more vigorous Just in Casa line-up could be obtained and also to avoid a repetition in the future. One lively idea can be completely discounted—that McCormack would resign the speakership and Hayden resign his honorary Senate position in favor of Sen. Mike Mansfield who thereupon would be elected Senate president pro tempore and actually ba chosen by the Senate majority to be interim president. Neither McCormack nor Hayden will have any part of tha scheme. They have told friends—and the White House—that they intend to be around in their present positions in the event that some tragedy makes the presidency vacant again before next

January.

Working on this basis, President Johnson has taken great pains to acquaint McCormack with the manifold problems and responsibilities of the presidency.

South took the first trick

GREENCASTLE, INDIANA

THE DAILY BANNER

with the ace of hearts, led to the ace of diamonds and ruffed a diamond. He led a trump to the king and ruffed another diamond. Then he got to dummy with the king of spades to draw East's last trump. After this fine beginning declarer returned the low spade from dummy. East started to pull a card from his hand (a diamond, as it happened) but pushed it back and produced the jack of spades. South noticed the fumble and though he knew what had caused it: East held both the queen and jack of spades and couldn't make up his mind which to play. Actually, East’s mind had wandered to his income tax, a subject that might make anybody fumble. GOES WRONG South took the ace of spades and returned the ten. When West casually played low, South went wrong. At this stage dummy held the last trump ,a losing diamond, and three low clubs. South could assure his contract by discarding the diamond from dummy. If East held the queen of spades, he would win; but South would then have two good

spades and the ace of clubs for dummy’s three clubs. Actually, the ten of spades would hold the trick, and South could continue with another spade to set up the suit while he still had the ace of clubs. Instead, South ruffed the ten of spades because he expected East to play the queen. When East discarded. South had to fall back on the club finesse and was down two. South was somewhat bitter about fumbles and fumblers. but he had only himself to blame. When you have a sure play for a vulnerable slam it’s sheer foolishness to deart from it DAILY QUESTION Partner opens with one diamond. and the next player passes. You hold: S-K 5 H-K Q 7 2 D-A 10 9 4 C-7 4 3. What do you say? Answer: Bid one heart. Show a major suit rather than raise a minor.
