IF WE COULD JUST GET RID OF MR. HYDE
Kennedy Snaps at I
Humphrey for
‘Innuendo, Smears’
(By The Associated Press>
Senator John Kennedy sudden
ly turned on Sen. Hubert Hum
phrey Friday night and accused
Humphrey Friday night and ac
cused Humphrey of having “dis
torted my record, attacked my in
tegrity and played fast and loose
with smears and innuendos.”
The two are turning into the
home stretch of the campaign for
the May 10 primary election. Al
though the primary does not bind
the state’s delegates to the Demo
cratic National Convention, each
candidate said at the start that if
he couldn’t win in West Virginia
he could not expect a strong show
ing at the convention next July.
Humphrey’s initial reaction was
one of humor.
“Keep your shirt on, Jack,” he
teased. “Maintain a sense of hu
mor and dont expect to win them
all.”
Kennedy’s blast was in a state
ment issued toy his brother, Rob
ert Kennedy, who has taken per
sonal charge of the senator’s
Charleston headquarters.
A short time after Humphrey
quipped his first rebuttal, he be
came more serious.
“I don’t know what he (Ken
nedy) wants except that I en
dorse him, and I’m not going to
do that,” he said.

Bartlett Warns Bristol Bay
Japanese Freezer Ship
Would Violate Treaty
WASHINGTON, UP> — Senator
Bartlett said last week the Japan
ese would violate treaty obliga
tions if they placed a refrigerator
ship in Bristol Bay to process red
salmon.
Bartlett said Gov. Egan has
joined him in opposition to the
proposal.
“Negotiations reported to be
under way between California and
Japanese interests for placing a
Japanese refrigerator ship in Bris
tol Bay to process red salmon pur
chased from American fishermen
would be in violation of the inter
national convention for the High
Seas Fisheries for the North Pa
cific Ocean,” he said.
The State Department, he said,
has advised him and Egan that
“to carry out such a transaction
would involve a violation by Ja
pan of its treaty obligations.”
However, they were informed
the State Department has not re
ceived any communication from
the Japanese government regard
ing the project.
