4 Governors
Don't Want

GLACIER NATIONAL PARK,
Mont ( — Four favorite-son
governors agreed today they
don't want anyone — meaning
Sen. John F. Kennedy of Massa-
chusetts — to sew up the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination
before the party convention op-
ens.
While they left themselves
free to take individual action as
they choose, the four governors
indicated their names will be
placed before the Los Angeles
convention for a first ballot
vote.
The quartet is attending the
52nd annual governors confer-
ence
Gov Edmund G. Brown of
California said he is particular-
ly interested in determining
whether any substantial move
will materialize at the conven-
tion to draft Adlai E Stevenson
for a third nomination He and
Gov Robert B Meyner of New
Jersey agreed that any such
development seems “remote "
Govs. Herschell C Loveless of
Iowa and George Docking of
Kansas made up the others in
the quartet The four are favor-

in a half-hour television ad-
dress to the-nation, the Presi-
dent said the cancellation of his
scheduled visit to Japan 10 days
ago stemmed from Communist-
inspired disorders in Tokvo.
But he said his inability to go
had been far outweighed in
importance by Japan's subse-
quent ratification of a new se-
curity pact with the- United
States He called that a "sig-
nal defeat for international
communism" — "an important
victory for the free world ”
As for the Tokyo riots which
prevented his Tokyo visit to
Japan, he commented that
"these disorders were not occa-
sioned by America" and added
"We in the United States must
not fall into the error of blam-
ing ourselves for what the Com-
munists do. after all. Commu:
