from the International

The Oklahoma senator,
meanwhile, remained at

He joined his wife, Vice
President and Mrs. Hum-

ter Mondale of Minnesota,
and Secretary of Agricul-
ture and Mrs. Orville
Freeman later in the night
at a rally of young Hum-

tel.
It was about 4 a.m.
Thursday when Sen. and
Mrs. Harris retired and at
that time the Oklahoma
senator and the Maine sen-
ator were reported to be
tops in the running.
It also was learned that
the Oklahoma delegation
was quietly scheduling a 5
p.m. caucus Thursday to
discuss the possibility of
organizing a demonstra-
tion for Harris at Thurs-
day night’s convention ses-
sion, according to Mrs.
Lorray Dyson, Guthrie,
state co-chairman.

observers were in almost

Humphrey said there was
no stifling of dissent in the
convention, with full debate
and a roll call vote on the
Vietnam plank, target of an
unsuccessful attack by a mi-
nority pushing a peace
plank.
“Majority rule is part of
the democratic process. Peo-
ple must understand that if
they lose it doesn’t mean
they didn't have the right to
dissent." said Humphrey.
He added the violence in
Chicago and elsewhere in
the nation "indicates some
of the old institutions and

when one steely-eyed
guardsman dropped his ri-
fle and lurned red-faced
with embarrassment as
bystanders laughed at his
clumsiness.
The park is full of the
curious and those who
sympathize with the hip-
pies.
One nurse, wearing a
medic's armband, said she
had volunteered to help in-
jured hippies and com-
plained bitterly about al-
leged police atrocities.
"I want you reporters to
go home and tell it like it
is.” she said.
Her boy friend also wore
a first aid band around his
white medical uniform. He
was asked if he were a
doctor.
"No. I'm in advertis-
ing." he whispered, saying
he had donned the medical
uniform in hopes of escap-
ing a bealing.
Oklahomans generally
stayed clear of the park,
choosing to watch the hip-
pies from the hotel win-
dows.
The hotel lobby has been
filled all week with hippie
types, passing out leaflets
and watching for celebri-
ties to heckle. Police have
allowed the groups to jam-
pack the hotel lobby.
"I wonder why they
don't clear them out of the
lobby and let them stay in
the park?" one Oklahoman
asked.
Apparently, lhat hadn’t
occurred to Mayor Daley,
who persisted in dutifully
protecting park grass
while nuisances occurred
almost every place else in
Chicago.
Oklahomans have paid
little attention to the dem-
onstrators.

KANSAS CITY - A feder-
al grand jury ai Kansas City
indicted two Oklahomans
Wednesday, charging them
with ihe robbery of a bank
at Seligman. Mo., on July 18.
The Oklahomans are Her-
man Eugene Wing, Bartlcs-,
ville, and Ernest Lindbergj
Edmondson, Nowaia.
Plagued with malnutri-
tion and parasites and sub-
ject to disease, the Otimas
don’t live long.
"Her parents worried
about what would happen
to Elena after they are
gone." Miss Griste said.
The missionary persuad-
ed them to let her bring
Elena to Ihe United States,
where surgery might help
She began the process ear-
ly this year. Just getting a
birth certificate for the
child in the nearest mar-
ket village, Huehuetla.
was a long and difficult
process.
Getting a passport, even
with documents of permis-
sion signed by the parents,
was even harder.
The mountains are so
steep whore the Arroyos
live that no animals can be
used to cultivate the land.
The men, like Elena's fa-
ther, till the earth with a
hoe-like instrument and
harvest with machetes.
They survive on what they
grow — black beans and
corn made into tortillas.
When Elena and Miss
Griste began their long
i journey in March, the
girl's father carried his
child on his hack and
walked down the mountain
; to the market village.
"We crossed the same
river 24 times."
Miss Griste rode a mule,
the only mode n( transpor-
tation besides walking. At
Huehuetla. they got a ride
on a small commercial
plane to the highway, and
caught a bus to Mexico
City. From thpre, 1hey
flew a jet airliner to Dal-
las.
It was the first time the
child had been away from j
the tiny hut. built of a soft
wood that grows on the
mountainside. The hut has
no furniture and the walls
are not chinked. A wood
fire in the center of the hut
does not warm it or keep
out the rains lhat form
from gulf currents to the
east, just off the Mexico
coastline.
Despite her background,
it took less than two min-
utes for Elena to figure out
how to operate the plane s
lights.
"She knew exactly ev-
erything lhat was going on
during the flight." which
was over in two hours,
j Miss Griste said.
When a nurse at Presby-
terian Hospital brought
her a toy cash register to
occupy her after surgery.
Elena knew at once what
it was. She signaled Miss
Griste for her little purse,
and poured its few pennies
inside the register drawer.
"She's very observant
and a good child."
At I he hospital, she
dreads the nurses because
it often means a needle nr
going off for an unpleasant
test. But Ihe child has
been little trnuhle. Miss
(Jriste said.
The physician made her
an ear channel, using skin
taken from her thigh.
"He said the hones that
form the inner ear were
mixed up. There was an
extra hone and one bone
was missing."
Miss Griste, who is pav-
ing for Elena's expenses
from her own. limited
funds, said she cannot af-
ford to have ears built
through plastic surgery.
But she hopes doctors will
attach plastic ears, to give
Elena a normal appear-
ance. If she has this and
can hear, she has a chance
in lead a normal life when
she gets hack to the moun-
tains.
Before the journey of|
mercy is finished. Mis*
Griste will have had Elena
for a year "It will be very
hard to give her up."
The Arroyos’ mountain
home is so remote that
Miss Griste has not been
able m communicate with
ihem to let them know of
Elena's progress.
But the child is heating,
even though her head is
swathed in bandages. The
toy cash register's ring
hardly ceases, and she
hears other children
crying in nearby rooms.

During tests, she heard

she laughed aloud at the
first sounds, Miss Griste
said.

Welfare Protest
WASHINGTON (AP) -
Charles Sheldon, a leading
American expert on Soviet
space programs, says the
Russians are launching
more military spy satellites
than any other type of space-
craft.
As a result, he said, they
have softened their com-
plaints about U. S. camera-
eyes-in-the-sky activity.
NEW YORK (AP) — Wei
fare clients protesting a new
system of payments clashed
with police in City Hall Park
again Wednesday and 18 per-

The protest centers on a
new policy by the city wel-
fare department to pay a
flat grant of $1(K> per person
annually in lieu of all special
allowances.
