The Carolina students .who are themselves aceus-omed to the dis play of southern hospitality de clare they never saw such graci ku* living as that the Kennedy representatives bestowed on witl ing delegates. Where only cue or two half votes were gathered to gefier. there the Kennedy men would be. At least the GOP can't get his vote ridw! A postscript JO their Los Angeles safari 'was spoken by Bob Silliman, a Massachusetts Republican, who didn’t have time to go to his home in the Bay State and register on the GOP polling books for the No vember elections, because he waA going to attend the Demo cratic Convention in Califor nia. “Now when -people ask me how I’m going to vote, I say Fm not going to vote at all,” said Silliman. “Fm not regis tered.” Tod Efird of Gastonia, working out of Kennedy headquarters, de scribed a scene one night in the Bihmore. He had spent all after neon bawling delegates in Kennedy Harrill named new narrator at Planetarium The appointment of J.

Though there was gen eral agreement that Kennedy’s tactics amf strategy won * tfic crucial delegates after the con veeika began, they were not in accord that any other candidate could ha done there*®*1 thittg. the closets stacked wifti cases of liquor. Suddenly a Kennedy oper ative dashed into ther room, and .said, ‘’Everybody dear tiflt. fife suite is being taken over by the Governor of Georgia.” Srnatcr Kenney had aivi'.ed Gov. Ernest Vandiver of Georgia to move to more commodious dweiitiigs at th$ Biftmo.e. The bartenders and the delegates packed up bottles, glasses and ice and took their business eUewhWe. Follow that ir sin Efkd and Bob SiHimair of New ton, Mass., were both assigned to Kennedy headquarters. “Our job Was to tail after A1 Wood, the Kennedy man aSs'gned to look after the- Kerrtcky delegation” said Silliman. “We watched him work and took insiWuotims from lam. We raa errands, drove cars, Handed out drinks, kept delegates m ebifowsation, BStertSd to re quests and relayed them along for action.” Simitar grOttps were assigned to appeal to each of the other delegations. j-s While delegates accepted favors, Tram Keooedy forces as well as from Johnson, Stevenson and Sym ington ■representatives, they did not always immediately pledge their votes in return. “One dele gate told me toe had not paid for a meal himself since he arrived in Los Angeles,” said Glenn John son of Frankfort, Ky. The man toad been fed and watered by funds provided by all major can didates and by a few favorite sons. “Who will you vote for?” asked Johnson. “I lean towards Chester Bowles,” said the dele gate. Bowles was the only one who had not offered a favor—yet. “I suppose that’s one reason there are so many uncommitted dele- ' ’gates at first,” said one of the political scientists. Norwood bound over for attempted rape A 19-year-old Negro boy under suspended sentence for nine dif ferent charges has been bound over for superior court trial on an additional count of assault with intent to commit rape. The prosecuting witness, Mary Doris Hargraves, told Recorder’s Court Assistant Judge Robert Midgette that Buddy Norwood Jr. knocked her down as she was walking home on the night of July 1# and broke her leg when she wouldn’t submit to him. The pregnant mother of six children went to a friend’s house nearby to call police. Pleads Net Getlty Norwood pleaded not guilty to the charge and denied having been at the scene of the alleged assault. He presented witnesses who also stated he was elsewhere at the time of the reported in cident.
