The Ginners' Association leg-

ministrative decisions on agricul-
tural programs make clear that
cotton should be handled in reg-
ular, trade channels. Directors also
emphasized: "We are in favor of
soil" conservation but we «re op-
posed to any enlargement of the
conservation reserve of the soil
bank act and appropriations there-
for." 'r _ •'
Cooperation was pledged with
other organizations, individuals
and members of Congress to work
out a sound and fair cotton pro-
gram.

of registering all automobiles and
trucks in the home county of the
vehicle owner.
"Take your certificate of title

home county. Penalty for improp-
er registration Of a vehicle can be
as much as $200. Don't risk an
illegal registration. Remember,

WASHINGTON — The six men
currently regarded as top con-
tenders for presidential nomin-
ations this year were not always,
as frisky" as they'af?>e8r today.
The ills of the flesh have as-
sailed In varying degrees all of
those who figured .prominently in
a campaign likely1 to put a pre-
mium on physical stamina.
In seven years in office Presi-
dent Eisenhower has had... thr«e
serious illnesses, including a heart
attack, and voters can be expected
to. pay more than ordinary at-
tention to the health of the pro-
spective candidates. *'•'< ; '
As the likely Republican nomi-
nee, Vice President Richard M.
Nixon maintains that he has no
worries on that score. , , *
' • But vigorous as he appears,
Nixon at 47 is subject in times of
stress to what he calls a nervous
stomach. He also has a touch of
Hay fever now and then.
Watches Diet Closely
Because he has high blood
pressure, Nixon watches his diet
closely, particularly While cam-
paigning. Doctors keep a check on
his cholesterol (blood fat) count
because of his blood pressure.
Aside from infrequent rounds of
golf, Nixon takes little excerciae
except to walk from his o'fice In
the Senate office building to the
Capital, a distance of about two
city 'blocks, a couple of times a
day. ...
Sen —John F: Kennedy <D- -Mass,
42 an avowed candidate for the
Democratic presidential nomina-
tion, 'gives every evidence of hav-
ing recovered from a spinal in-
jury for Which he underwent sur-
gery in October 1964.
Kennedy was injured when the
torpedo boat he commanded in
World War II was lilt by a Jap-
anese destroyer. He first 'was
operated On In 1945 but his con-
dition worsened in the , early
months of 1954 and he was forced
to use crubches. J' ,,
He was on the operating table
four hours that year, and returned
to the hospital in February 1955
for removal of a metal plate that
appeared to be slowing his re-
covery. *
Those whq see Kennedy slide
down comfortably in a chair these
days and toes his leg casually
ov^r its arm are convinced he
has no further spinal trouble.
Had Surgery Twice
, Sen Hubert. H. Humphrey (D
Minn), 48, another avowed candi-
date, has not had a serious illness
since pneumonia almost took his
life when he was 7 years old.
However, he has had two opera-
tions, one for a double hernia,
qnd the other an appendectomy.
Those who see Humphrey going
at, top speed on long-hour; days
ijfiave no fears about his health.
doh -B. Johnson of Texas, who ob-
viously is available for his party's
top nomination Is the only one of
the group who has had a . recorded
heart attack. ; V'-
Johnson,, now 51. mi»s stricken
at the home of> a friend In Middle-
fourg, Va„ invjtily »JV5 with, what
.was described As a
severe heart attack. 1
operated on tti
era/tfely
been
that
year for removal of a kidney
* >,-■ ■<(/ >■
stone. ! ■ .
Johnson is something of a de-
spair to his wife and doctors who
want him to take things a lot'
easier thai\ he does. But the Dem-
acratlc leader is a wound-up man
Who has trouble slowing down,
even when he bikes a rest an his
Texas ranch. ■ -
In Vigorous Health
None of his colleagues gives a
thought these days to the John-
not slowed down and he seems in
vigorous health. And President'Eis-
enhower's recovery from his heart
attack has gone . a long way to
remove that aliment as a bar-
rier to election to the presidency.
Like Nixon, Sen: Stuart Syming-
'ton (D-Mo) has been bothered
in the past by high blood pressure.
Symington, 58, is an unannounced
candidate who says he would like
to be president..
Symington's recovery from a
March 1947 sympathectomy ap-
pears to have been complete,
This is a delicate operation in
which the sympathetic nerves to
the spine are Severed to relieve
high blood- pressure.
A golfer who often shoots in the
70s, Symington was back on the
course three months after the op-
eration. He says he. feels fine
physically and looks It.
Adtal E. Stevenson, Who cur-
rently is avoiding being proposed
as as a potential nominee, has had
kidney* stone trouble, like John-
aon. ' " ^ ~
In June 19552 shortly before he
wa« nominated for president by
the Democrats the first time,
Stevenson underwent an operation
for removal oif-kidney stones. He
had a similar operation in April
1954. : ;■)
Animal Trouble
However, Stevenson's doctors
annually pronounce him in good
health. He is now 60 and the pace
he maintains indicates he has-few
worries on that score.
Although not regarded as among
the top contenders, Sen. Wayne
Moree (D-Ore) has declared him-
self a serious candidate for the
nomination. The 59-year-dld Morse
has had some difficulties with
animals.
At an Orkney Springs, Va., sad-
dle horse show .in 1951 Morte was
knocked Sold by a horse's kick.
The senator suffered a broken jaw
and lost some teeth. In 1949 he
was injured when he was thrown
to t)he ground in a sulky mce at
•Salem, Ore. #
In 1953 Morse collapsed in the
Senate reading room after a two-
hour speech opposing confirmation
of Chardes ft. WUson aa secretary
of defense. He attributed this to
what he called a "codeine black-
out," Explaining he had been tak-
ing the pain-kllllng drug because

restored at the meeting Monday
night of this week as prime ob-
jectives of the organisation, The®?
proposals as submitted were:
"We wish^further to submit the
suggestion that a Membership
Committee be appointed to solicit
new members as there' are many
of our local citizens who are not
members' , of the Chamber.
'We also suggest that the new
administration immediately make
.contact with all organizations of
the town, Including churches, in an
effort to secure their assistance to
the Chamber by allowing the first
Monday night of each month to
be used exclusively for the meet-
ing of the Chamber, thus avoiding
the conflicting condition which has
existed for several years."
