THE TEEEE HAUTE STAK, THURSDAY, 'JULY 1 14, 1960. Sister III, Truman Silent on Boycott Of Convention INDEPENDENCE, July President Harry S. Truman's sister, Miss Mary Jane Truman, was admitted to Research Hospital in Kansas City observation today but Truman's office said her condition would have' no effect on whether or not Truman would attend the Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles. EARLIER today, Truman himself, declined to say whether he would" respond to the convention's urgent invitation for him to come to Los Angeles. "I have nothing to say," Truman told United Press International.

Truman announced on July 2 that his decision to stay away from the convention and resign as a delegate from Missouri was based on his belief that the convention rigaed in favor of Senator John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts. Truman reiterated that stand in a telegram to aides in Los Angeles last Saturday. THE FORMER chief executive took his sister to the hospital personally. A hospital executive said Miss Truman's illness had not been diagnosed but added that, her condition did not appear serious.

It was understood that symptoms pointed to the possibility of a gall bladder ailment, but no surgery was scheduled immediately. Hoagy Carmichael wrote "Star Dust" in 1927.

The rescue center said the survivors had been picked up by United States Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard rescue planes. Rescue officials said a United States Coast Guard flying boat had landed at the scene of the Northwest ditching and soon airline officials said word had been received that 56 survivors were either in life rafts or aboard rescue aircraft. THE AIRLINE said 44 passengers boarded the plane in Tokyo for Manila and seven more passengers got on at Okinawa. The plane carried a crew of seven. Shortly after Northwest announced that the DC7C was in trouble and believed down the rescue center at Sangley Point Naval Station said a rescue craft radioed it had sighted "red smoke signals, four life rafts and what looked like several bodies on the water in the area where a DC7C is believed to have ditched." The Northwest plane was flying from Okinawa to Manila when it ran into trouble.

It carried 51 passengers and a crew of seven. AN AIRLINE spokesman said the captain at 3:20 A. M. reported a runaway No. 2 propeller which he was unable to feather.

An hour later. Northwest said, he reported fire on the wing and that he was preparing to ditch. The plane apparently lost the propeller that caused the emergency. Rotary Club to Hear Rep.

would have provided time for an overnight effort to try to man the dikes against a flood of Kennedy support. SAM RAYBURN of Texas, Johnson's p'olitical mentor and the man who put Johnson's name before the convention, huddled with convention Chairman -Leroy Collins and stalked away looking glum. He said he had asked whether there would be a roll call Wednesday night, arid the answer was "yes." At that instant, Senator John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts looked like the invincible man. The youthful Massachusetts senator unofficially had publicly pledged votes and more to surge past the golden goal of 761 and go over the top to the Democratic presidential nomination.

THE FIGURE on the Associated Press scorecard gave 'him 777 first-ballot votes at the' moment the Democratic national convention was gaveled to order for the business of nominating its candidate for the White House. "We're in. pretty good shape," Kennedy told reporters. "We might very well have it on the first ballot." But challengers refused to give up. And Kennedy had to wait his turn with all the rest for his name to be placed in nomination in this noisy municipal Sports Arena.

IT FELL FIRST to Senator Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas to receive the honor of having his name offered to the party legions as. a man worthy of the nation's highest office. Quickly, then, Kennedy's name was put in nomination, too. And followers-of other men of stature in the Stuart Symington of Missouri and Adlai E.

Stevenson of Illinois nominated their choices. And of course as always at these moments of history in the making, there was the usual strange mixture of deadly seri- ousness.and hi-jinks. Alabama gave way to Texas so Johnson's name could be placed before- the convention ahead of-all the others. SAM RAYBURN, speaker of the House longer than any other man, took the rostrum, his bald head gleaming under powerful lights cutting down through a blue haze of cigarette smoke. Rayburn told the delegates the man they ought to choose is "Lyndon B.

Johnson for President." It was almost like setting oft an explosion. Texas delegates stormed into the aisles, their state banner flailing aloft, rebel yells coming from their throats. demonstrations are about as spontaneous as baking a potato. But they are part of every convention. And they give the rank-and-file delegates a chance for fun and shenanigans and letting off steam.

'THE RULE SAYS there is a 10- minute limit on such things. But rules like that never stand up. The Johnson demonstration took 23 minutes. It was Governor Orville L. Freeman-of Minnesota, supplying another accent on youth, who put Kennedy in a man of courage and drive, a man who will be "a great power for peace, for assurance and security." The Freeman speech touched off another round of calculated pandemonium such as Hollywood never would have attempted in PRE-INVENTORY SPRING-O-LATOR SHOES ONE LOW PRICE Limited Quontity Black Patent Leather White Calf Pale Blue Pink Bone All sires and widths but not In every color.

Kennedy was absent, in an apart-. ment hide-away on the edge of' Hollywood. I JOHNSON, TOO, had been absent before him, because there is an unspoken taboo against a candidate's appearing on the scene while the nominating process is going on. Johnson's team had started into the convention nominating session with 381 votes showing for their man the A. P.

tally sheet. Syminston had Stevenson Humphrey and various others had and there were uncommitted votes. As the closest rival, Johnson put on a blazing last-minute campaign for help in heading off Kennedy. And he was playing rough and for keeps. He talked of Kennedy, Hitlerism and McCarthyism all in one breath.

He contended delegates were in revolt against the Massachusetts senator and appealed to people back home to turn the heat on wavering ones. JOHNSON ALSO was gaining a bit, even though he still was back in the dust of- a Kennedy bandwagon. Delaware pitched all its 11 votes to him. Minnesota and a pair of close political allies split apart. Governor Orville Freeman, with an eye on a possible vice presidential spot on a Kennedy ticket, announced he had been tapped to place Kennedy's name in nomination at the convention.

Humphrey quickly announced that his choice is Stevenson, the man who made it twice to the party nomination but never to the White House. The senator said he came here intending to vote for Kennedy, then changed his mind "after careful consideration." KENNEDY shrugged off as entirely expected this maneuver of a fellow senator who once had designs on the nomination Kennedy ran him down and out in the Spring primaries. "We'll win without him," Kennedy declared. Stevenson still was standing firmly to his position that he would accept a nomination once more but the convention would have to draft him if it wanted him. He did show more strength than Kennedy, one vote more, in the big California delegation.

Among half a dozen or so possibilities for second place on a Kennedy ticket, Symington appeared to have considerable support for a job he says he doesn't want. But the choice would be Kennedy's more than the con vention's. THE VARIOUS contenders for the first prize pulled out all the stops in eleventh-hour sorties in and out of smoke-filled rooms, news conferences, delegate caucuses and telephone booths around downtown hotels. Johnson took a tough new line of attack for the first time, in an appearance before the Washington delegation. He slashed at Kennedy indirectly with a statement that: "I was never any Chamberlain umbrella policy man never thought Hitler was right." Kennedy's father, multimillion aire Joseph P.

Kennedy, a backstage figure in the senator's cam' paign, was United States ambassador to Great Britain in the days of Munich and Hitler before World War II. The elder Kennedy was subjected to taunts of being an appeaser- because he was a friend of British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and the latter's "peace in our time" negotiations with Nazi Hitler. Regardless of these blasts, if Kennedy listens to Governor Ab raham A. Ribicoff of Connecticut and several otl)er advisers, Johnson would be his first choice for second place on a Kennedy ticket.

In objecting to the single-unit plan, Mr. York said that largeness does not necessarily mean efficency. Bill Joy of Fayette Township said that there is no guarantee that a single school unit in the county will provide equal educational opportunities for all county children. A three- or four- corporation system would offer just as many good facilities, he and the representation on school boards be better. (The proposed plan provides for a seven-member county school board, four members to be elected from the rural sections of the county and three to be elected from Terre Haute.) PETE KING of Fayette Township objected to the plan on the grounds that a single-corporation system would place too much power in the hands of a few.

A school employe who fell into disfavor the county school board, he said, would have no other vocational opoortunity in a Vigo County school. Among those who spoke in favor of the plan were Garfield High School Principal James Conover and Terre Haute school board treasurer Dr. Paul Humphrey. Conover said the evidence points to the fact that a small school no longer meets the needs of the students. He used the studies of James Bryant Conant, an authority on high schools, to back up his statements.

ANSWERING the charge that there is no gain in combining rural and city schools, Mr. Conover cited an example in his own experience. Two Terre Haute boys once wanted to take a course in agriculture, he said, but the city schools had no such course to offer. Under a countywide system, the boys could have been transferred to a rural school at no cost. "And it works both ways," Mr.

Conover added. Humphrey supported the plan on the grounds that the countywide corporation would provide a good educational opportunity for every child in the county. The state commission will either accept or reject the Vigo County plan within the next 60 days. If it accepts the plan, the county's will decide whether it becomes law in next November's general elections. CHAIRMAN DAVIS told The Star that Vigo County is, so far, the largest county to present a plan to the state commission.

commission members present last nignt were Davis, B. Thomas Sutton, Chester Biddie, Mrs. Jean Pilot, State Board of Accounts member Paul Harvey, Deputy Attorney General Tom Webber, State Superintendent of Public Instruction William E. Wilson and the commission's employed director, J. B.
