The figure does not include the cost By ALLEN DRURY tie York Timet Vet Service SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 17-Top administration officials huddled with Republican platform-writers today as the latter went through the motions of drafting the 1956 platform.

It was obvious that the White House was laying down the line to be followed. Just as everyone here knew it would after the empty formality of public hearings on the platform had been dispensed with. The hearings were held Wednesday and yesterday. Sen. Prescott Bush of Connecticut, chairman of the full resolutions committee was closeted at the SL Francis Hotel with such top Eisenhower aides as Sherman Adams, the assistant to the President; William Rogers, deputy attorney general; Rep.

Joseph W. Martin Jr. of Massachusetts, permanent chairman of the GOP convention," and Maxwell Raab, special White House assistant on minority problems. Sen. Bush, somewhat embarrassed that reporters had discovered the meeting, promised to hold a press conference on the platform tomorrow afternoon.

Present plans are that the plat form will be completed by that time. Party aides were unable to say yet when it would be available for publication. 1 Some Planks Visible As the 10 subcommittees met and Sen. Bush conferred with the men who have the final say, it appeared that some of the major planks in the platform would be approximately as follows: 1. Foreign policy A pledge of continued support for the United Nations; opposition to U.N, membership for Red China; continued foreign aid on a reasonable and economical basis; a promise to defend Israel against aggression; a promise that the administration will continue to work for world peace.

2. Civil rights An endorsement of the Supreme Court ruling against racial segregation, despite some minor rumblings of Southern discontent. 3. Defense A strong endorsement of administration defense policies, with specific mention of the Democratic charge that the administration has cut back the armed forces and is losing to the Russians in the development of new planes and new types of weapons. The plank will pledge the administration to maintain "an Air Force second to none." 4.

Farm An endorsement of the flexible farm policies fa vored by the administration and Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson, and a promise to support research to find new uses and new markets for agri cultural surpluses. Little Discontent The only possibility of delegate discontent over these proposals, it appeared today, might come from some Southern states because of the. endorsement of the Supreme Court rul ing. However, the concern of Southern delegates discussing the matter seemed to be more over the possibility that it might cost the Republicans several congressional seats. There seemed almost no possibility that any so-qalled Southern revolt" would break out.

Southerners seemed somewhat disturbed by the prospect of a firm civil rights plank, but appeared to feel that there was no point in trying to oppose administration pressure on it Copyright, mt.

We Affidavit in 1910 By Net Tort rime News Service WASHINGTON, Aug. 17 -Rockwell Kent, noted artist, carried his fight to obtain a pass port to the Federal Court of Appeals today. Kent was refused a passport in 1955 when he refused to make an affidavit as to past or present membership in the Communist party. Last November a fed' eral district court here dismissed a suit by Kent to compel the State Department to issue a passport This is the ruling Kent has appealed. A brief filed by Leonard Boudin of New York and David Rein of Washington, attorneys for the artist, based the appeal on claims that Kents right to travel should not be conditioned on execution of a non-Communist affidavit or compliance with any other political test It also alleged that the State Departments regula tions under which the passport was denied deprive him of procedural due process and are not authorized by law, and that the State Department did not make cut a case against Kent even under its own regulations.

Another appeal, based on similar grounds, was filed by the same attorneys on behalf of Dr. Walter Briehl, a Los Angeles psychiatrist Dr. Briehl was re fused a passport in 1955 after he had refused to execute a non-Communist affidavit. A federal district court dismissed his suit. Copyright, list, The New York rimet Co.

The Nigerian federal House of Representatives recently passed a bill defining the means by which oil companies could acquire land for pipelines to transport crude oil to ports. The announcement did not disclose the date of the Ololblri strike but indicated that the well was completed this year, pro sumably before the pipeline legislation was passed. The Ololblri well was the 11th exploratory drilling that Shell B.P. had sunk in southern Nigeria in the last six years, during which time there have been continuing rumors of important trikes.

The only previous encouraging discovery, however, waa at Akata in Calabar province in 1954, which produced a "moderate show of oil, according to the prospecting company.

Despite recent scandals in the Republican administration in II' ARKANSAS DELEGATION BACKED KENNEDY, LOST M'FERRIN HEADS STATE 4-H CLUBS By GLADWIN HILL New York Timet Newt Service SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 17 The Republican preconvention scene here today was conspicuously bereft of symptoms of any organized anti-Nixon movement But the party high command had its fingers crossed against a sudden burgeoning of deviation from the party line. The delicate innuendoes at Chicago, in connection with the selection of a vice presidential candidate, that the Democrats were being a little more democratic about it than the G.O.P., fell among the gathering Republicans with no more Impact than a Golden Gate fog. The coast, to the party stage managers, seemed pleasingly clear.

The vice presidential boom for Gov. Christian A. Herter of Massachusetts seemed to have dwindled to a slightly bloodshot gleam in Harold Stassens eye. The local, largely one-man boom for Gov. Goodwin J.

Knight of California had been formally renounced by its principal, reportedly after some vigorous verbal cudgeling by Californias Sen. William F. Knowland, Senate minority leader. Official Position The official position was that the vice presidential selection was "wide open as far as any duress was concerned but that President Elsenhower had indicated his preference and it just wasnt polite or cricket to bandy any other name than that of Vice President Richard M. Nixon.

One quarter in the partys high command expressed extreme anguish at a report that appeared on the front page of the San Francisco Chronicle this morning. It quoted a "highly placed Republican as saying there was growing sentiment against Nixon among assembling delegates and that particularly Midwestern groups were thinking of such alternative selections as Gov. Dan Thornton of Colorado. The anguished G.O.P. quarter was heard to suggest privately and unofficially that this was it 'sponsible reporting of a sort which if pursued, could generate a "bolt" to some other vice presidential selection.

The Republican stage managers have been at some pains all week to stress the theme of party unity, particularly on the Nixon question. Wednesday they herded reporters away from the most important preconvention session of the Republican National Committee to form a press conference for Ray C. Bliss of Ohio, head of the 21-state Midwestern and Rocky Mountain Republican Chairmans Assn. Bliss had no news whatsoever to impart. But he twanged dexterously on the unity string, with a Nixon eat.

New Face on Platform At the regular preconvention press conference this morning, a new face appeared on the platform. It was that of Thomas A. Pappas, chairman of the Massachusetts Citizens for Eisenhower Committee. The "news" angle of his appearance was simply the tidings that his organization had changed its name to the Massachusetts Citizens Committee for Elsenhower and Nixon, and the word that "there is absolutely no doubt in the mind of anyone here that Vice President Nixon is going to be renominated. Vice President Nixon himself is not due on the scene until tomorrow morning.

He flew west from Washington today and was planning to spend the night at Whittier, Calif, his home town. There still was a remote possibility of hijinks on the Knight front. Despite the governors declaration that he was going to ask supporters not to enter his name, one of them said she was going to anyway. She was Mrs. Mary Tibbets, publisher of a newspaper in outlying Woodland.

"I cant do any worse for the governor than Harfy Truman did for Hardman, she remarked brightly. Stassen, the Presidents was due here tonight, still bent, far as anyone knew, on a "Draft Herter" operation. The GOP. stage managers were unlimber ing their buckets to pour cold water on it.

17 (JR Arkansas backed the losing candidate today for the Democratic vice presidential nomination. Along with other Southern states Arkansas supported Sen. Kennedy of Massachusetts and sought to block off Sen. Kefauver of Tennessee. Gov.

Orval Faubus, who repeatedly had expressed opposition to Kefauver, said with a sigh after Kefauver won the close race that "this leaves us with a lot of hard work to do before November." His point was that Arkansas voters probably wouldnt like the Democratic ticket with Kefauver on It, that the campaign therefore would be tougher. The Arkansas strategy along with that of several other Southern states on the vice presidential nomination was to back some favorite eon' candidate on the first ballot, try to block Kefauver and then awing in behind some acceptable candidate, probably Sen. Humphrey of Minnesota, In line with strategy the delegation cast its 28 votes for Gore of Tennessee on the first ballot. Then Southern support began to solidify behind Kennedy so the delegation cau cused quickly and decided to go with Kennedy on the second for about two minutes. The painter and the youth were quoted as having said the gas escaped from a broken pipe.

It was the second accident-involving escaping chlorine gas at the plant this year. Earlier this week, 21 men were exposed to the gas in an accident at the Cramet titianlum plant in East Chattanooga.
