Carter said Tuesday night the

BUT KENNEDY countered that the
message he read in the last primaries
was a signal to go on with his challenge
for the nomination. He had said earlier

Carter tried twice to telephone Ken-

but was not put through, Powell said.
Powell, who tried to downplay the
confrontational aspects of the incident,
said the president telephoned Kennedy
about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday and again at
10:30 p.m.
ON THE FIRST call, the White House
operator was informed that Kennedy
"was resting and they didn't want to
disturb him," Powell said.
When the second attempt was made,
Kennedy aides said the senator was
enroute to an appearance before sup-
porters, where he told them it was just
"the first night in the rest of the cam-
paign."

WASHINGTON (AP) - President
Carter has the delegates he needs for
renomination, but strategists for Sen.
Edward Kennedy are questioning
whether he can hold them at the
Democratic National Convention.
And they are mapping an effort that
would reverse the overwhelming
primary verdict with a stunning con-
vention upset. The plan calls for
creative use of party rules.
THE KENNEDY contention: since a
convention majority can set any rules it
wants on delegate commitments,
nothing is settled yet. Carter's current
majority is ample to adopt rules bin-
ding his delegates, but Kennedy aides
believe Carter will be politically weak
when the convention convenes and his
support will fade.
Carter delegates are not bound to
rules to beat Carter
vote his bidding on preliminary
questions, but Carter managers say
they will prove as loyal on rules and a
party platform as on the nomination it-
self.
Interim party rules say that
delegates who were pledged to a par-
ticular candidate when they were
chosen in primaries or caucuses must
vote for that candidate at least on the
first ballot at the Democratic National
Convention in mid-August.
JIM FLUG, communications director
for the Kennedy campaign, says this
rule won't be binding unless the conven-
tion makes it so.
"The bottom line is that ifa majority
of those delegates want to reject or pick
some candidate, they have the full
power and authority and capacity to do
it," Flug said.
