Tuesday, May 7, 1963 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Paae' T__dy-My7,198TH ICIGNDAL _ .. ... ELECTION '68 ROUNDUP: RFK HHHE in capital to clash primary By The Associated Press Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and Vice President Hubert H. Humph- rey get their first tryouts at the polls today in their quest for the Democratic presidential nomina- tion. ', The New York Senator is a formal contestant in two of the day's five primaries, while Humphrey is represented in only one but is a standout background figure in the other. The big test is in Indiana, but a more direct Kennedy-Humphrey collision will come in the District of Columbia where two slates of candidates for delegates to the party's national convention are running for the vice president while one slate backs Kennedy. On the Republican side in the national capital there is a con- test between an agreed regular slate ' divided among backers of Nixon, Gov. Nilson A. Rockefeller of New York - the second ma- jor avowed GOP candidate - and a rival group, running together but still split in allegiance to Nix- on, Rockefeller and Gov. Ronald Reagan of California, who still talks about himself as only a favorite son. There are 23 Democratic and nine Republican convention votes at stake. The other primaries are in Ohio, Florida and Alabama, with only Democrats involved in Alabama. In all those cases the bearing of the outcome on presidential poli- tics is questionable. Humphrey stayed away from the Indiana campaign. Sunday he was in Chicago where he failed to pick up an endorsement from Illinois Gov. Otto H. Kerner but did get. a boost from Chicago Democratic committeeman Jacob Arvey. Yesterday he was in New York for a meeting with businessmen backers and returned to Washing- ton for a speech to a labor group. OHIO CONTEST Ohio interest centers on the Democratic contest between Sen. Frank J. Lausche, seeking a third t.erm, and John J. Gilligan, form- er congressman who is now on the Cincinnati city council. Gilli- gan has AFL-CIO and Ohio Democratic Executive Committee backing. Organization support is behind Sen. Stephen M. Young's favorite-j son bid for Ohio,s 115 Democratic House votesI WASHINGTON OP) - President Johnson's drive for a $10 billion tax increase lunged forward yes- terday when the key House com- mittee voted to work on the basis of an administration accepted settlement. The Ways and Means Commit- tee told a Senate-House confer- ence, headed by its own chairman, Rep. Wilbur D. Mills (D-Ark), to work out the increase. SPENDING CUT It agreed also to use the ac- companying $4 billion spending cut worked out by the Appropria- tions Committee last week as a basis for discussions-adding that the reductions should be at least this great. Committee members, including Mills, who had been holding out for deeper cuts, accepted the ac- tion with the understanding that they could still fight in the con- ference for a spending reduction in the next fiscal year greater than the $4 billion. BLACKMAIL? The Ways and Means action came after an emotion-charged weekend that saw Johnson over h nationwide television telling op- posing congressmen not to try to blackmail him on spending as the th price of what he called the ur- til gently needed tax increase. Some al members fired back indignantly. f- Johnson followed up with a Sat- n- urday letter to House leaders tell- f ing them further delay in passing th 10 per cent surcharge would be "a ticket to disaster." One highly placed committee for committee tax hike member, asking not to be quoted by name, said its action was taken "in spite of and not because of" Johnson's appeal. In any case, the push for a tax increase gained these two impor- tant objectives with Ways and Means' 17-6 vote cutting across party lines. For the first time, the tax writ- ing committee is on record for a tax increase. It recognized-with the qualifyi- ing "at least"-the spending re- ductions listed by the Appropria- tions Committee, instead of in- serting higher figures of its own. The Senate-House conference resumes today with the House con- ferees now Instructed by the two House committees concerned. The Appropriations Committee formula, which Johnson said he would accept reluctantly, calls for a $10-billion reduction in appro- priations for the year-beginning July 1 under the figures in his budget and which applies to ap- propriations extending over sev- eral years.

Beulah Conference Center to Ed- wards. Mississippi Highway Patrol cars guarded the march but there was no particular tension. Whites in this small town placidly ig- nored the entire demonstration. In Edwards, the marchers held a rally with the Rev. Ralph Aber- nathy and other Southern Chris- ithern leg tian Leadership' Conference offi- cials speaking. Abernathy, who favors a guar- anteed annual wage, told the marchers that money in their pockets would' end segregation problems. "When you get that gold, all these white folks . . will forget your color because they want the gold," he said, "and we will live together as brothers." Planners of the campaign have said they expect from 3,000 to 15,000 demonstrators to be in Washington by May 27, many of them staying until congress en- acts legislation to provide jobs, housing and income maintenance programs for the poor. Meanwhile, in Washington, Rep. William M. Colmer (D-Miss.), said yesterday the nation's capi- tal can expect nothing but trouble if the proposed Poor People's Campaign in Washington ma- terializes. "You're dealing with people who have made extraordinary de- mands and who are very emotion- al," Colmer told a House sub- committee. "They are easily stirred up. 'They, will get out of hand." Colmer said the primary objec- tive of the campaign is to cause trouble despite whit its leaders say. Sen.

It is the only e hospital to have had two such operations, both performed by the same team within three days. James B. Cobb, 48, an Alexan- dria, La., salesman, received the heart of a 15-year-old Conroe, Tex., youth Sunday night. Cobb was reported awake yesterday with normal blood pressure. Doctors said Cobb was removed from a respirator briefly to test his ability to breathe. He did, they said, but will be kept in the re- spirator for 24 hours as a pre- caution. The same surgical team headed by Dr. Denton R. Cooley, Friday -St surgery night transplanted the heart, of a 15-year-old house wife into the chest of Everett Claire Thomas, 47, a Phoenix, Ariz., accountant. The second surgery was a dual transplant with a dead youth's kidney being implanted in William C. Kaiser, 41, of Odessa, Tex. Doc- tors said Kaiser had suffered ad- vanced kidney damage as the re- sult of diabetes. Thomas talked, drank tea for the second straight day and was visited by his wife. Doctors said his heartbeat, blood pressure and other physical signs were normal. Thomas said, "I want to thank all my well wishers. My special thanks to the doctors of Texas Heart Institute." Cobb's heart transplant was the 11th in the world. With the death Sunday of Joseph Rizor at San- ford Calif., only four recipients still lived ,the two here, one in Europe and one in South Africa.
