The doctors said Kennedy was In "good humor" during the afternoon's- examination but had complained of severe abdominal pains earlier. This caused, some concern but they said was established that Kennedy was not bleeding internally. Metz said the broken vertebrae "created an unstable medical situation" causing the firm outlook for a long recovery period. Dr. Paul Russell, a consultant called from Boston's Massachusetts General Hospital, said it would be some time before Kennedy could be removed from Cooley-Dickerson.

Hospital. Kennedy received three pints of blood in transfusions and was given glucose intravenously, along with other medication. "If it had not been for the attention the senator received," Metz said, "it could have been quite a different story." He complimented Dr. Thomas Corriden who supervised the early treat-ment. "X-rays showed fractures of the fifth and sixth ribs on the left side, fractures of the second, third and fourth' lumbar vertebrae (the lower back) and fractures of the sfcond, third and fourth transverse processes, which give the spine support."

State QOP Asks Realistic Meat Import Quota Plan Montana's beef industry is being sacrificed on the allar ot international trade agreements, the state Republican convention charged in its platform, which was adopted Saturday afternoon at its final business session. Imported beef, the convention charged, has been the largest factor to contribute to the decline Senate pasagc of a bill dif-'of cattle prices fcring Irom the one voted by the House put Rep. Howard W. Smith, chairman of the House Rules Committee and an unyielding tae of the bill, back in temporary control of the situation.

But the overwhelming bi-partisan support for the measure and the desire of Republicans to have the House shut down a week before their convention begins in San Francisco July 13 leaves Smith little room for maneuver. Under House procedures the Rules Committee must, approve a resolution calling tor the House to accept the Senate bill if it is to be voted on without amendments. Smith's main weapon, as chairman, is to delay scheduling a committee meeting to act on the resolution. Immediate action must be taken to establish realistic meat import quotas at a level that will supplement, but not supplant our domestic meat industry." the statement said.
