Stevenson’s Manager Says
Neither Johnson, Kennedy
Can be Nominated
LOS ANGELES, iff)—James E.
Doyle, director of the Adlai E.
Stevenson campaign, said yester
day it will be absolutely impos
sible for either Sens. John Ken
nedy or Lyndon Johnson to win
the Democratic presidential nom
ination.
Doyle told a news conference
“There is an absolute ceiling on
the number of delegate votes they
can assemble, and in each vase
the ceiling is lower than a maj
ority.'’
The party’s top nominee must
win the votes of at least 761 dele
gates at next week's nominating
convention here.
Doyle summoned newsmen to
renew the assertion long voiced
by Stevenson supporters — that
the former Illinois governor, who
was defeated by President Eisen
hower in the 1952 and 1956 elec
tions, will be nominated again if
the current front runners lose
steam.
Stevenson is not an avowed
candidate but has said he has no i
serious objections to having his
name placed before the conven
tion.
Hotels wore filled to capacity
Saturday and Sunday with 118
visitors on overnight tours plus
persons in 10 private planes seek
ing quarters. Private homes were
sought to care for the overflow

Castro Reverse Action
Of Seizing Oil Refineries
WASHINGTON, UB—The United
States Tuesday protested as un
fair, arbitrary and unlawful the
Cuban seizure of two U.S. owned
oil refineries. It asked Premier
Fidel Castro to reverse the action.
The stiffly-worded protest was
delivered in Havana by U.S. Am
bassador Philip Bonsai.
But U. S. officials felt small
hope that Castro would backtrack
and return the refineries to the
American owners.
The Castro regime seized the
Texaco and Esso Standard Oil
refineries last week when the two
companies, plus the British-Dutch
owned Shell Oil Co., refused to
refine crude oil which the Cuban
government had brought in from
Russia.
