Kennedy death rips political fabric

By RAYMOND LAHR LOS ANGELES (UPI)—The death of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy ripped up the fabric of American politics today on a scale approaching the political impact of the assassination of his brother, the late President John F. Kennedy. Before and after Kennedy’s death, Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey was a slight favorite to win the Democratic presidential nomination and Richard M. Nixon a heavy favorite to win the Republican nomination. Without more shocks to the American political system like those earlier this year, the odds makers will keep Hum.

phrey and Nixon in front. But countervailing forces must still be measured before the Republican and Democratic national conventions assemble in August. 172 Votes Kennedy was hit by an assassin’s bullet as he was winning the Democratic presidential primary in California with its prize package of 172 national convention votes. The loser was Sen Eugene J. McCarthy, who had won only one of five state primaries against Kennedy. The big question now is: What happens to Kennedy’s delegates? After the California and South Dakota primaries Tuesday, the UPI tally showed Kennedy with 393V2 delegates, second to Humphrey who had collected 56IV2 without competing in O.E.S. notice Stated meeting of Cloverdale OES Chapter 369 will be Wednesday, June 12, at 7:30 p.m. The District Deputy will make her official visit, Honoring Fathers and Honoring Adahs. Visitors are welcome.

the primaries, but ahead of McCarthy, who had 255. An additional 88 were listed as uncommitted and 310 pledged to favorite sons. Presumably assuming that he would submerge McCarthy in the primaries, Kennedy had invited McCarthy to join a stop. Humphrey alliance after the primaries because they both wanted to point the nation in new directions. McCarthy had jarred the Democratic party with his performances in the New Hampshire and Wisconsin presidential campaigns before President Johnson announced March 31 that he would not accept renomination. If he wishes, he can now turn Kennedy’s invitation into a request that the Kennedy delegates join him in his anti, administration campaign against Humphrey. Any such invitation from McCarthy might please some of the Kennedy delegates and give others an excuse to join Humphrey. Only hours before the assassination bullet felled Kennedy, one of his senior campaign advisors described attitudes between the candidates in this fashion: Cordial Relations Cordial relations existed between the Humphrey and Kennedy camps and between the vice president’s and MeCarthy's organization. But there was a bitter hostility between the McCarthy and Kennedy campaign crews. Thus there was a deep rift between Kennedy and McCarthy. This bitterness grew out of Kennedy’s announcement as a presidential candidate only four days after McCarthy had demonstrated the divisions within the Democratic party by his showing in the New Hampshire primary. But all Kennedy delegates are not alike. Some will give priority to party regularity and line up with Humphrey. Others will regard dissent against the administration as more important and drift to McCarthy.

PARIS (UPI) —The assassin, ation of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy has upset North Vietnam’s strategy at the Vietnam War talks, conference sources said Thursday. The Hanoi regime had been banking heavily on the growing dissension in theAmerican political arena this summer during the presidential campaigning. The sources said the North Vietnamese now apparently fear Kennedy’s murder will close the ranks of the U.S. home front. Officially, the North Vietnamese negotiators at the Paris talks have maintained diplomatic reserve and declined any comment about Kennedy’s as. sassination on the grounds it fall under the heading “Internal affairs of the United States.” hardened their positions during Sirhan’s dad: ‘Why?’ TEIBEH, Israeli - Occupied Jordan (UPI) —The small greyharied man kept shrugging his shoulders as he stood Thursday before his modest stone house in this sun-baked sleepy Christian village. “I’m stupefied. I’m shocked. This is the blackest day of my life,” said Bishara Sirhan. “I pray to the Amighty that this nightmare may pass.” Sirhan, for 52 years an unknown man, and his small village as ancient as the Bible suddenly became linked Wednesday with a world-stunning deed in faraway Los Angeles. An elder from the village, Fiz Ba’ajis Muaddi, hurried to Sirhan’s two-story house to tell him his fourth son, Sirhan, 24, had been charged with the assassination of Robert Kennedy. “If my son did it, he deserves his fate,” said the elder Sirhan, his lips quivering. “I always have had such deep admiration for the Kennedy family.” For a moment the father was silent in the summer sunshine. Then he looked up at his interviewer. His gray-green eyes blazed. “How do you expect me to know why he shot Robert Kennedy?” he demanded. Staring at the horizon as if talking to himself, he said, “my son was a talented boy, more than his four brothers. How he came to this is beyond me.” The accused assassin came from a religious Christian family. He was born in Jerusalem and the family of seven lived in the Armenian quarter. Young Sirhan went to a Lutheran school and the father said the family belonged to the Greek Orthodox Church. “I am a religious man and have been all my life,” said Bishara Sirhan. “I still am a steady church goer and read the Bible every day. My son as a child used to go to the Orthodox Church with me in Jerusalem every Sunday. We studied the Bible together.”

But Hanoi’s strategy was known to be bound up in the American presidential campaign and election. North Vietnam’s tactics of marking time at the Paris talks was prompted to a considerable degree by their desire to await developments in the U.S. presidential campaign. The hawks in Hanoi were reported anxious to drag out the Paris talks until after the November election in the hope that the new president would be more flexible and be willing to make concessions that President Johnson has been unwilling to make. Both the United States and North Vietnamese negotiators khardened their positions during Wednesday’s session which was held while Kennedy was still alive. North Vietnam’s chief negotiator, Xuan Thuy, served notice that Hanoi will not discuss any matters relating to an actual peace in Vietnam until the United States meets its demand of an unconditional and total bombing halt. U.S. delegation leader W. Averell Harriman proposed to discuss the North Vietnamese demand together with “other related matters.” The conference adjourned until next Wednesday.

Will have free hand

By HORTENSE MYERS INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The tragedy of Sen. Robert F. Ken. nedy’s assassination gave Gov. Roger D. Branigin and the Indiana Democratic high command just what they sought in the Hoosier presidential prefer, ence primary—freedom to seek prestige in nominating a presidential candidate. But of course, it goes without saying that Indiana Democratic leaders from Branigin on down are schocked and grieved over the assassination and will derive no pleasure whatsoever from the manner in which they won that freedom from commitments. Ironically, Kennedy’s assassin ccompli hed what Branigin could not achieve in an intensive campaign against Kennedy and Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy in the May 7 Indiana primary. Sewed Up Votes Kennedy beat Branigin anc McCarthy, getting about 42 per cent of the votes to 31 for Branigin and 27 for McCarthy. In doing so, he sewed up most, if not all, the first-ballot votes of 63 Hoosier delegates to the national convention in August. But Kennedy’s death relieved the Hoosiers of their first-ballot commitment to him under the law and cast a new light on the Hoosier role at Chicago. The Indianans now will go to Chicago in August uncommitted. Branigin originally was a stand-in candidate for President Johnson, but when Johnson announced he would not run for another term, the Hoosier governor became a favorite son candidate.

For cookouts, make an original and washable tablecloth

DEAR HELOISE: If you are in a wheelchair you have trouble seeing what is cooking on the back burners of your stove. An angle mirror (or one placed at an angle) over the stove will solve this problem. Also, a child’s carpet sweeper, broom and dust pan are ideal for those in wheelchairs who wish to do a bit of tidying up around the house. Mrs. Joseph Laurie • * * 1 saw a polio victim once whose husband had cut the handies off half-way on her lightweight broom, mop and carpet sweeper. Superb idea I thought. You’re a I.t’V, Mrs. Laurie. Ileloise » * * DEAR HELOISE: We like to get those tourist stickers from the different towns we visit during our vacation. Instead of sticking them on the car windows where they obstruct the view, we bring them home and put them on the refrigerator door. Quite decorative and a conversation piece. We also enjoy revisiting those places in our “mind’s eye” everytime we see the stickers. Mrs. R. Overton * * * DEAR HELOISE: Have you and your readers thought of planting some "leaf” lettuce in your flower beds ? They never head and have oodles of vitamins and minerals. In memoriam My memories of my Mother, Elizabeth Anne Phelps, gone to rest June 7, 1967, one year Friday. I looked upon my Mother’s hands And her life...and there I saw Aging hours..lines of love Spent in moulding me. I knew those hands And the work they had done Now grown old with toil. I’ve known the beauty in flowers they grew And how they loved God’s soil. I remembered the time they had comforted me And helped me along the way. Those hands, mine can no longer hold today. She could not paint or write a rhyme He footprints on the sand of time. She knew simple things of life Like tucking little folks in bed. Or soothing someone’s aching head. In sickness when the nights were long, She was always there. We come to go—we cannot stay We steal away, just one by one Across the plains, when life is done. Sadly missed by a Daughter.

We’ve been enjoying ours .so much for weeks and so have our neighbors. It looks attractive in flower beds if there’s no loom for a tiny garden. The tops can be plucked and new leaves will sprout from the bottom leaf joints if a few are left. They also make lovely borders or edging around any bed. Gardener * * * DEAR HELOISE: Now that most cigarettes are longer and don’t fit into the old table-style cigarette cases, I found a use for the cases. I use mine as double picture frames! You may need to put a few layers of cardboard in first to fill the space before pressing in your pictures. But they do make very attractive holders on the dresser when opened and st(x>d on their sides. Mrs. E. Vidal * * * DEAR FOLKS: Here’s a little hint for those of you who wear white dresses and want to save on cleaning hills. When you are going out, us you walk out the front door, grab a plastic cleaning hag and put it on your arm. Then put it on the car seat KEFOKE you sit down. Kenieinber those cushions may not he clean. When you stop and think about it, I don’t suppose any of us clean them very often, do we? This is also a wonderful idea for those who dress in fragile formals. If your gown is long, put a plastic hag on the floor of the ear. This keeps your hem from getting soiled. Don’t forget to use caution though, and keep these hugs out of the rea<'h of children and pets. Heloise *4: * LETTER OF LAUGHTER DEAR HELOISE: One of the greatest shortcuts in housekeeping that I've learned is to RUN. And by that I mean to go at a fast pace. I see lots of women drag their mop across the kitchen floor and move at a snail's pace while they make the beds, etc. I’d rather run now, get the work done, and relax later with a conscience-free mind. I sing, whistle or put on some jazzy music and that old mop gets a spring in it, the bed covers fly and I’m through in jig time. I may be huffing and puffing, but I’m through and what a joy! A Friend * * * DEAR HELOISE: I broke the rubber belt that turns the brush on my vacuum sweeper. In desperation I tried, temporarily, an oldfashioned quart jar rubber ring. It worked. Has been on the machine for months now. Mrs. K
