...scenes are obviously pleasing to Johnson, his friends see his real mission as creating a bloc of votes that can influence, if not determine, the Democrats' choice of a candidate. Johnson and his sagacious Texas sidekick, Speaker Sam Rayburn, expect to hold more than 300 delegate votes (mostly Southern) at the convention's all-important first ballot, hope that this will be enough to head off any bolt to Adlai Stevenson. And if, in the course of this power play, Johnson should finesse the nomination for himself, that would be fine. At a press conference in Des Moines...
...quite precise, name for the new need. Instead of a familiar East-West crisis, he talked of a North-South axis, proposed that the world's industrial "north" form a committee, with the U.S. as full partner, to coordinate and share the burden of assistance to the nonindustrialized "southern" regions.

From Dartmouth came a circumspect and indirect inquiry. Notre Dame forwarded plane tickets to the Southern California game (Perry Lee mailed them right back: "I don't much like cold weather"), and victory-starved Mississippi State sent a plaintive note ("We all hope and pray that you will come with...
...wears his Methodism with a difference. Frail-looking but sinewy, George Hedley, 60, is the well-beloved, brilliant father figure and campus character of California's small (700 students) Mills College for women. Born in China to British Methodist missionary parents, educated in England and the University of Southern California, he had served as director of the Pacific Coast Labor School from 1936 to 1941, when he went to Mills as chaplain. Since then, Chaplain Hedley has also become department chairman and professor of economics and sociology, teaches a senior course in labor problems and a junior course...
