savings were on top of 5100 mil-

The 5140 million for the April-

ATLANTIC CITY. (UPH-A
i bitter fight over seating of tfie
Alabama and Mississippi dele-
gations jarred party harmony
today at the opening of the De-
i mocratic National Convention.
With or without the two
; Sou the ran states - and party
| leaders still lioped it might be
i with them - the convent i o n
was set to nominate Lyndon B.
! Johnson for president and who-
ever he picks to run with him
.in tiie November elections,
i The opening gavel was set
for 8:30 p.m. EDT in Atlantic
City's mammoth Convention
Hall. Party leaders were work-
ing feverishly to persuade tho
Mississippi and Alabama dele-
gates to pledge support of the
President in November. Without
the pledge, they may lose their:
seats.
Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey of
Minnesota, still regarded as the
strongest possibility to be John-
son's vice presidential choice,
said be was confident the two
Southern states could be kept in
the convention.
"That great split will not
come to pass," he said.
The convention will wait until
Wednesday night to nominate
Johnson to oppose Sen. Barry
M. Goidwater, the Republican
candidate. Although Humphrey
was the popular favorite, there
still was no definite word from
the President on his choice for
vice president. Some delegates
thought he might turn to Sen.
Mike Mansfield of Montana or
Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy of
Minnesota.
Johnson administration agents
at the convention seemed to be
taking a conciliatory attitude to-
ward the South despite their
troubles about seating the Ala-
bama and Mississippi delega-
tions. Platform writers drafted
a civil rights plank which was
unlikely to provoke a serious
protest from the South.
The credentials committee
wrestled with the Alabama and
Mississippi cases for almost
four hours Sunday. The Missi-
ssippi dispute was referred to
a five-man subcommittee which
was asked to report back this
morning.
Although Johnson probably
will not be on the Alabama bal-
lot in November, the committee
recommended that tlie state’s
delegation be seated if its Mem-
bers sign the pledge required of
Democratic national committee
members. That pledge is a
commitment to support the
presidential and vice presiden-
tial nominees of die national
convention.
The Alabama delegation met,
immediately and voted, 33 to 3. ]
against signing the pledge.
They also voted against return-
ing credentials, apparently is-
sued to them by mistake, to ad-
mit them to the hall.
Of the 53 Alabama delegates
ami alternates at the conven-
tion, six to eight were expect-
ed to pledge personal support
to the Democratic nominee*
and take convention seats.
Former Gov. David L. Law-
rence of Pennsylvania, chair-
man of tlie credentials commit-
tee. indicated that a similar
loyalty pledge would tie re-
quired of nny delegates seated
from Mississippi. Members of
the regular delegation predicted

j today for some pre-campaign
fence - mending with Eastern
business leaders, some of uhom
have been reported defecting to
President Johnson.
Goidwater was to fly from
Washington for two closed
meetings with top members of
the business community. Aides
said the sessions were not de-
signed for fund raising but to
give the senator an opportunity
to present his views to the in-
dustrial. banking and business
executives.
First on Goldwaters scnedule
was an afternoon reception
sponsored by Percy Douglas,
president of the Otis Elevator
Co.
Later the Arizona senator was
to be the guest of honor at a
private dinner given by George
Champion, chairman of the
Chase Manhattan Bank. and
Ralph Cbrdiner, retired chair-
man of toe General Electric Co.
and recently named Republican
national finance chairman.
GOP candidates have enjoyed
Stride popularity over the years
among toe leaders of industry
who make their headquarters in
New York. But this year, some
businessmen have announced
themselves o n the Johnson
bandwagon and others have
been reported leaning toward
the Democrats.
Goidwater was to go from

Adjoumnment
CIA Suggests
Compromise
WASHINGTON (UPI) -Ad-
ministration officials are dis-
turbed by the possible political
repercussions of a Central In-
telligence Agency (CIA) docu-
ment which contains an impli-
cation that a compromise with
the Communists may eventually
be necessary in the South Viet
Nam power struggle.
Top - level officials are at-
tempting to make it clear that
the CIA report-which declares
at one point that victory over
the Communists is doubtful and
that a "neutralization" deal
may be called for - does not
represent U. S. policy.
The 45-page paper, prepared
by Willard Mathhias of CIA *
Board of National Estimates,
attempts to assess develop'
ments in various parts of the
world within the framework of
the Soviet-American power re-
lationship.
It was written earlier this
year. It baa ban circulated
among various government
agencies with a notation that it
had "general approval" of the
CLA board, which had, however,
made no attempt to reach com-
plete agreement on every point
of it
The political Implications of
the report are obvious, inas-
much as Republican presiden-
tial candidate Barry M. Goid-
water is charging the Johnson
administration with a "no-win”
foreign policy.
Administration officials say
they want to emphasize that
the paper has never been pre-
sented to or considered by
President Johnson's National
Security Council or the top
livel U.S. intelligence estimate
board.
Official sources disclosed the
existence of the document over
the weekend when toqy learned
it had been offered for publica-
tion as a major outline of
American policy. They asserted
that this was not true and that
the idea* were, as one official
put it "only one man's opin-
ion.'!
