Disgruntled Democrats give lip service to unity
Jimmy Carter
|y JAMES GERSTENZANC

WASHINGTON (AP) -
President Carter, who stepped
oat of Us own shadow as
"Jimmy Who” at the
Democratic convention four
years ago, comes back to
another triumph but this time
ss an incumbent burdened hy
questions within Us own party
about his chances for re-
election.
A rally at the Sheraton Centre
hotel, Carter’s headquarters in
New York, awaited him today,
serving to announce Us arrival
and give his troops an op-
portunity to cheer.
Renomination was his,
needing only the formal vote
tonight, but the president came
to his day of victory without a
unified party offering support
from its various constituencies
and'with many Democrats
openly worried that a ticket
with Carter at the top will pull
them down to defeat in
November.
White House press secretary
Jody Powell said Tuesday he
father of no plans for Carter to
mqet with Sea Edward M.
Kmnedy, his vanquished rival
...Edward M. Kennedy
whose endorsement could be
critical if the president is to
avoid a defection by liberal
Democrats on Election Day.
When Carter returned to the
White House on Tuesday
evening after a five-day holiday
at his Camp David, Md.,
retreat, he told reporters he
hoped to have Kennedy's
support, but added. “That’s a
decision for him to make.”
"It would certainly be
beneficial for me to have his full
support during the campaign,”
Carter said. Asked whether he
could defeat Republican
presidential nominee Ronald
Reagan without Kennedy’s
help, Carter replied: “I can win
much better with him.”
Winning that support, and the
backing of the Kennedy
loyalists, “is not a process that
is accomplished in a night or a
week,” Powell said. He added:
“In the end, most good
Democrats will act like good
Democrats.”
Many weren't ready to fall
into line Tuesday.
Former Wisconsin Gov. Pat
Lucey, Kennedy’s deputy
national campaign director,
resigned as a delegate and said
he would take "a hard look” at
independent presidential
candidate John B. Anderson
before deciding who to support
in the fall.
Charles Deppert, an official of
the machinists union and
Kennedy whip for the Indiana
delegation, said delegates and
alternates from the union plan
to walk out during Carter’s
acceptance speech Thursday
night to protest his economic
policies.
Dick Drayne, Kennedy’s
spokesman, said he did not
know If the senator would stay
for the acceptance speech.
Carter will be in New York for
50 hours, attending today’s rally
and a luncheon Thursday,
delivering his speech that nigirt
and meeting Friday with the
Democratic National Com-
mittee.
In between, he will be in his
hotel suite, polishing the speech
that promises to be one of the
most Important of the year-long
campaign, watching the con-
vention proceedings on
television, meeting with aides
and keeping in touch with
delegates.
the platform
By MICHAEL PUTZEL
Associated Press Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — Sen.
Edward M. Kennedy, the
vanquished challenger whose
oratory electrified the
Democratic National Con-
vention, is lying low today and
offering no hint whether he’D
stay around for President
Carter’s triumphant ac-
ceptance of the party’s
presidential nomination.
Kennedy returned to the
Waldorf-Astoria late Tuesday
after publicly congratulating
Carter and predicting the party
will reunite and “march toward
a Democratic victory in 1900.”
He ignored reporters’
questions about whether he will
formally endorse the president
or join him at the podium before
the close of the convention
Thursday night.
After the speech, which
touched off a 40-minute
demonstration of cheering and
poster-waving, Kennedy
strategists struck a deal that
resulted in the senator’s victory
on several key economic planks
in the party platform.
Kennedy spokesman Dick
Drayne said the senator would
spend much of today talking on
the telephone to Democratic
leaders and other party
members. —— ------Y—
Those conversations are
planned primarily for reasons
of courtesy, Drayne said, not
consultation on Kennedy’s next
move in his measured path
toward reconciliation with the
president he spent nine months
trying to drive from the White
House.
Asked if the convention
remarks were meant to signal
an endorsement of Carter,
several top Kennedy aides said
they would prefer to let the
senator’s words speak for
themselves.
In his nationally televised
speech, Kennedy told the
cheering throngs on the con-
vention floor:
“I congratulate President
Carter on his victory here. I am
confident that the Democratic
Party will reunite on the basis
of Democratic principles — and
that together we will march
toward a Democratic victory in
1980.”
Kennedy’s address, the first
to capture the attention of the
thousands on the convention
floor, was scheduled to enable
the senator to appeal for
delegate support of economic
proposals that Kennedy had
made the focus of his
presidential campaign.
The convention responded by
handing him a stunning victory
on major elements of his
economic program, agreeing by
voice vote to the bulk of his
proposed platform planks. They
rejected one calling for wage
and price controls.
Kennedy said it was the
difficult economic issues of
joblessness and inflation that
kept him in the race, and asked
the party to offer “new hope” to
Americans out of work.
He also attacked Republican
presidential nominee Ronald
Reagan as no friend of labor,
cities, senior citizens or the
environment. The GOP can-
didate, Kennedy added, “has no
right to quote Franklin Delano
Roosevelt.”
IJEW YORK (AP) — Here, at
a glance, are planks adopted so
far: by the Democratic National
Convention for the party’s 1980
platform:
-^Recognizes the need for
fiscal restraint, but asserts that
thq Democratic Party will not
support reductions in welfare or
otlpr programs that serve basic
hugoan needs.
-^States that the party will
Jimmy Carter
not support changes in Social
Security benefit formulas that
would rtsult in lower rates of
cost-of-living increases than
recipients get under the present
formula.
—Calls for a “phased
reduction” in the state share of
welfare costa and denounces the
Republican platform's call for
transferring the costa entirely
to the states.
—States that a full em-
ployment jobs policy and the
need to guarantee a job for
every able-bodied American “is
our single highest domestic
priority.’’
—Denies money dr help from
the national Democratic Party
to candidates who do not sup-
port the Equal Rights Amend-
ment.
—Calls the right to seek an
abortion and other forms of
“reproductive freedom” is a
fundamental human right and
backs use of Medicaid funds to
pay for abortions of poor women
wtw seek them.
—Opposes efforts to enable
federal agencies to override or
exempt state or federal en-
vironmental, health or safety
laws, powers that President
Carter’s proposed Energy
Mobilization Board — now
stalled in Congress — would
have had.

Scripture Heading for Today: Matthew 7:7-11
“HOW IS YOUR IQ TODAY?”
Consider what I say, and the lord give thee
understanding in all things. 2 Timothy 2:7
jk A Y UNCI E called again recently to pass along some-
|Y| tiling he'd found in the Bible. After showing an
interest in my work, he said, How's your IQ to-
dayf" That doesn’t mean much to you, but it sure did to
me. He has asked me that same question before. It's his
way of referring to my spiritual potential for the day. He
wondered whether I had "gone to the cross" yet that
morning to remember what Christ had done for me. Had
I on the basis of that great undeserved sacrifice asked the
Father for mercy, grace, and wisdom? He wasn't trying
to put me on the spot, but he wanted to impress upon
me the fact that ability for service comes only from Cod.
It s not just a matter of natural aptitude, a good night's
sleep, or a brisk morning run. No, strength for the day in
the highest sense comes directly from the Lord in the
form of His mercy, grace, and wisdom.
In today's text the apostlelells us to consider his words.
Then he says, ", .. and the Lord give thee understanding
in alf things.'' That’s the kind of IQ we need. We must
be responsive to the Lord who reaches down and opens
our minds to things we otherwise would not see. To over-
look His kindness, grace, and power is to fail to live up to
our spiritual potential.
I'll be honest with you—I get embarrassed sometimes
when my uncle calls and inquires about my spiritual IQ.
But I would much rather be made a little uncomfortable
by someone who truly loves me than to have not, because
I ask not (Jas. 4:2).
By the way, how’s your IQ today? —M.R.D. II
You'll go forth a little stronger
With a fresh supply of grace,
It each day you meet the Savior
In a secret, quiet place. —Adams

Cities urged to protest census
^AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -
lixas cities should carefully
review the preliminary
population figures and file
protests where undercounts can
shown, according to Rep.
Tim Von Dohlen, D-Victoria.
r‘For the first time, state and
local officials are in a position
to challenge preliminary census
figures before they become
final,” said Von Dohlen, head of
the House redistricting com-
mittee. “The critical im-
portance of a complete census
count for Texas cannot be
overemphasized. Legislative
redistricting next year will be
based on the 1900 census and the
distribution of billions of federal
dollars in Texas is affected by
population figures.”
He said the House committee
was working with the gover-
nor’s office to review the
preliminary figures and assist
communities with protests.
