Indiana Will Go Kennedy
If He Gets Blue-collar Vote
By BRUCE BIOSSAT
NEA Washington Correspondent
INDIANAPOLIS (NEA)
Sen. Robert F Kennedy’s decision to return to key blue-
collar areas in Hammond, Mishawak and Indianapolis in the
final campaign days may have broken the May 7 Indiana pri-
mary battle wide open. P
The sectors involved are neighborhoods where blue-collar
workers, most often Catholic and of southern or eastern Euro-
pean heritage, live close to Negroes. They are supposed to be
prime backlash country," and earlier were assumed to be
cool if not unfriendly to Kennedy in his race against favorite
son, Gov. Roger Branigin and Sen. Eugene McCarthy
in it may therefore have been a" important turning Point when
impre ssive street crowds poured out to greet Kennedy in such
an area of Hammond the night of April 29. His motorcade
tour looked like one of the late John Kennedy's triumphal
swings late in the campaign of 1960.
"We were surprised," says one close Kennedy aide. “That's
why we decided to go back to Hammond and a few similar
places at the last minute and work them hard That’s why
we went down East 1,11,1 Street in Indianapolis."
The aide said Kennedy had been told beforehand that the
areas in question would be cold to him because of his strong
hold on the growing Negro population. In the case of Ham
mond, he was, in fact, advised to stay out of the verv spots
where people swarmed out.
Street crowds are not, of course, votes. But it is n° longer
merely a Kennedy hope that he may win Indiana’s lake
County, whose industrial cities of Gary, East Chicago and
Hammond were first portrayed as sure Branigin territory
If Kennedy wins or comes close in Lake, a sweep for him
in this significant first big test may be in the making.
cawith late Apr1' polls already showing him around the 45 per
cent mark and leading both Branigin and McCarthy, he is
considered a good prospect to go past the 50 per cent barrier
and possibly range as high as 55 to 60 per cent of the total the White House because ol

Stewart Varn to Donald S.
NEW YORK (AP) - That
was quite a salute for Irving
Berlin on his 80th birthday Sun
day night.
Ed Sullivan opened his CBS
special tribute with greetings by
President Johnson followed by
pictures of the Statue of Liberty
while Fred Waring's chorus
sang.
And some 90 minutes later it
concluded with Berlin himself
singing his "God Bless Ameri-
ca" with a chorus of Camp Fire
Girls and Girl and Boy Scouts
In between, Berlin songs per-
formed by stars were packed
into the show like olives in a
bottle. There was Bing Crosby
singing “White Christmas,"
Ethel Merman with "There’s No
Business Like Show Business"
and other show tunes that really
belong to her Robert Goulet
and the Supremes sang more of
the composer's great songs:
Harry James played Berlin mu-
sic, and Peter Gennaro and his
group danced to it.
It must have been a very,
very difficult program to put to-
gether There was, in the first
place, so much material from
which to choose But over all, it
did justice to Berlin s talents,
and it also managed to keep the
living room audience fascinat-
ed
It ranged from Berlin's first
published song, Marie from
Sunny Italy" to his most recent,
"I Used to Play it by Ear," both
songs by Goulet
One of the most interesting
turns was by the Supremes who
spent several minutes with
some special musical material
which was really the names of a
bunch of well-known Berlin
songs strung together.
The production was neither
very imaginative nor elegant,
but the caliber of the perform-
ers and, above all, the familiari-
ty of the songs, turned it into
something of a milestone.
will be around for the next few
months. The first episode was
devoted to explaining how the
hero, an ex-intelligence agent
named McGill, is stuck with a
reputation as a traitor to his
country, the United States.
It seems that he is but an un-
lucky pawn in the greater game
of international espionage and
—like all heroes in "running
man" series from "Branded" to
"The Fugitive"—he cannot
clear his name
The lead is played by Richard
Bradford who sounds American,
wears bangs and whose acting
style has limited facets-he
seems to be by turns surly and
tough. “Man in a Suitcase"
probably won't win any awards
for ingenu of plot or for act-
ing, but it may help to while
away some hot evenings.

Says
By JOY STILLEY
(For Hal Boyle)
NEW YORK (AP) - When I
outfitted my eyes with a brand-
new pair of contact lenses, I
thought I had said goodby forev-
er to glasses.
But this was not to be the
case Instead of the one pair I
formerly owned, I now have
four sets of spectacles. And all
of them have gotta go where I
go, forcing me to acquire in-
creasingly large purses to har-
bor my vast array of eyewear.
First, there's my good old
time-tested regular prescription
glasses, which served me gal-
lantly if not glamorously when

instead of a small, package.
Next, I found that my store-
bought eyes were sensitive to
light so I added sunglasses that
serve as windshields too, since a
tiny speck of dust flying into a
lens-encased orb feels as big as
a boulder.
Occupying third place on my
roster of orbital armament is a
pair of prescription sunglasses,
for use in the bright outside
world when I am not sporting
my contact lenses
After I had been wearing my
contacts for some time I noted
with alarm that long periods of
reading brought on eyestrain. I
took my problem to my optome-
trist. who came up with the so-
lution—a new pair of glasses.
These glass specs go over the
specks of plastic, so when I
read I'm right back where I
