The announcement said both parties agreed "to establish and operate a SouthNorth coordinating committee" to be cochaired by Lee and North Korea's Kim Young-joo, younger brother of Premier Kim Il-sung. THE JOINT statement stressed the homogeneity of the Korean people, whose recorded history goes back to the 12th century B.C.

Kennedy: "Just sometime when I was I don't remember any specific time Dinis: you realize at that moment that you were not heading for the ferry?" Kennedy: "At the moment I went off the bridge, I certainly did."

Gov. George C. Wallace of Alabama 381 and Muskie 225.55. There were 454.4 uncommitted delegates. The court test stemmed from the decision of the Credentials Committee to deprive McGovern of at least 151 of the California nominating votes he captured in a winner-take-all primary.

Humphrey was the principal beneficiary of the ruling. A fight over the makeup of the Rhode Island delegation was stifled Monday when Credentials Committee approved a compromise offered by supporters of MeGovern. Challengers argued that the 22 MeGovern delegates were chosen in a winnertake-all primary. By a 73-to-70 vote, the committee accepted the compromise which allowed McGovern delegates to keep their seats, but get only 15-22nds of a vote each. Added to the delegation would be the Rhode Island governor, the four members of Congress and two others.

Small children raced each other to the popcorn stand and junior high girls flirted with junior high boys.

The only persons who weren't sitting back and enjoying the show were the Uptown Businessmen of Moline and the members of the Moline Breakfast Optimist Club who were putting on the display for the 12th year.
