To Lose
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Beam-
ing at pretty girls chanting "We
want Stu,” Sen. Stuart Symington
of "Visconsin breezed into town
Saturday and declared: "Ob-
viously, I’m not here to lose” —
the race for the Democratic pres-
idential nomination.
A few hundred well-wishers |
swarmed over the vast reception
area at International Airport when :
Symington and his wife, Eve, got |
off the plane from San Francisco ,
Brushing aside newsmen's ques- |
sions, Symington posed under a
warm, hazy sun for photograph-1
ers crowded around Then he rode
in a motorcade to the reception at
the other end of the airport.
As the band played “When the
Saints Go Marching In.” Syming-
ton mounted a platform and told
the crowd: "This is a wonderful
reception. We'll remember it as
long as we live.”
Symington shook hands with
several prominent backers but
had little time to exchange pleas-
antries with his two sons, James
and Tim, who were at the airport
with their wives to welcome him.
A blonde young girl presented
the senator with the traditional
bouquet of roses. County Supervi-
sor Kenneth Hahn gave the Mis-
ourian an elaborate parchment
certificate of welcome, which the
senator waved happily.
Twenty minutes after his plane I
landed, Symington was whisked 1
away in a motorcade to Democrat- j
ic convention headquarters at the
Biltmore Hotel
Security men and aides had to
lock arms to strain their guest
through a wall of supporters and
passersby packed solid in the lob-
by and entrance of the hotel.
It took nearly 10 minutes for
Symington to work his way
through the crush to the senator s!
elaborate reception room on the
mezzanine There he told the Sym-
ington faithful: “There’s going to
be some surprises ” The crowd
Laughed and applauded
At a news conference later.
Symington declared anew he will
win the nomination after forces
backing Sens John F. Kennedy
and Lyndon B Johnson reach a
deadlock
How many ballots would it take
for deadlock to develop’
"It took 104 in 1924. I believe,"
the Missourian replied. "But I
don’t think it will take that long
this time. I have felt for a long
time that if Kennedy didn't get it
on the first few ballots. I’ll get it
myself."
Symington announced that Gov.
James Blair of Missouri will put
his name in nomination at the
covention.
