...death notice, Kennedy switched from the white-glove tactics he had used in Wisconsin. In a three-day foray he struck at Humphrey as a "hatchet man" who could not win the nomination himself but was "being used" by Texas' Lyndon Johnson and Missouri's Stuart Symington in a "stop-Kennedy" gang-up. Retorted Humphrey: "He's acting like a spoiled juvenile...
While Johnson was in Salt Lake City, 1,300 Democrats gathered in the Terrace Ball Room to select Utah's delegation to the Democratic Convention. The sentiment at the meeting was strong for Jack Kennedy and Stuart Symington, with some residual strength going for Adlai Stevenson. It is doubtful that Johnson picked up a single delegate vote in the three states he visited (total convention strength: 49 votes), but he did leave a good impression of L.B.J., the moderate, responsible candidate, and if the convention should become deadlocked, Johnson will find some new second-or third-round friends...
Presidential Candidate Stuart Symington, like Presidential Candidate Lyndon Johnson, has a problem of labels. Last week Symington took to the road to explain that he is concerned with more than the problem of U.S. military weaknesses, for years his specialty. At a Des Moines press conference, he said that he did not appreciate being called a "one-track-mind" candidate, protested: "I am equally concerned with economic, social, moral and spiritual might."

Before leaving Washington, Symington set forth some of the problems that worry him. In a speech before the American Society of Newspaper Editors, he ticked off a grim list of the "liabilities" of the U.S.: "Recurrent large-scale unemployment; one-fourth of a nation living in poverty in a land of plenty; inflation, which hurts those most who need help most; millions of our senior citizens living on pittances; millions of our young people denied full educational opportunity; millions of farm families forced ever downward toward relative and absolute poverty; millions of families living in urban and rural slums; millions...
...halo tradition are Stuart Symington (Doubleday; $3.95), This Is Humphrey (Doubleday; $3.95), The Real Nixon (Rand McNally; $3.95), and Nelson Rockefeller (Harper; $5.50). All four are tender love letters that would do credit to Elizabeth ("Let me count the ways") Barrett Browning. The Rockefeller book is an attempt to bring a glittering millionaire down to the aw-shucks level, e.g., he got a niggardly 25?-a-week allowance as a boy, didn't go to "any exclusive preparatory school," but to Manhattan's progressive Lincoln. It also contains some odd facts about the Governor...
