ate Democratic Leader Lyndon B
Johnson of Texas.
Rayburn told his news confer
ence he has "a great desire to
see one convention from the
floor." He said he will not ac
cept the post of convention chair
man he filled in 1948, 1952 and
1956.
"When you are tied to that
chairmanship up there," Ray
burn said, "you see the conven
tion from the front. I'd like to
see it from both sides."
Rayburn added significantly
that as a floor delegate he would
,have a better chance "to work
for the candidate of my choice."
He has announced his support of
Johnson as a Texas favorite son
candidate who, he said, would
have wide appeal in other areas.
Johnson has said he is not a
nomination but would take a look
candidate for the presidential
at the situation if the convention
at Los Angeles next July seemed
to want him
Rayburn's action was interpret
ed, however, as confirming the
growing indications that Johnson

tender and not just a holding can

the naming of another as a nom

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA
New Cabinet
Post May
Be Created
Quits
WASHINGTON (UP) Creation
of a new senior cabinet post of
secretary of foreign affairs was
proposed in a foreign policy study
released last night.
The
_new secretary would serve
as the president's chief deputy on
all matters of foreign policy and
head up a reorganized State De
partment.
The Brooklings Institution, a
Washington research organization,
said, "the move would help the
United States meet the heavy re
sponsibilities facing it at a criti
cal phase in its history."
The recommendations would
pattern the State Department
somewhat along the lines of the
Defense Department by creating
three new secretaries to serve un
ckr the senior secretary.
In a study made for the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, the
research group proposed setting
up within the new Department of
Foreign Affairs three component
departments. Each would be head
ed by a secretary of cabinet rank.
They would be known as the De
partment of State, the Department
of Foreign Economic Operations
and the Department of Informa
tion and Cultural Affairs

scene in mankind's final de
struction from cobalt radia
tion of World War 111. He
was 60.
Shute had suffered a series of
.heart attacks. These caused him
Ito give up yachting, motor lac

Higher Postal Rate
Will Be Requested
WASHINGTON UPI President;
Eisenhower again will ask Con
gress to increase postal rates—a,
request that was turned down last

leader, did not say in talking to

month after the simultaneous
world premiere in more than a
dozen cities of the film version
of "On the Beach," his most
successful work.
- Shute did not like the movie,
produced by Stanley Kramer. He
refused to attend the Melbourne
premiere because he considered
Kramer had misused the right to
make alterations in the script
The message of both the film
and the book, however, was the
same: Humanity dying out, by ra
diation sickness or suicide, in the
wake of a shoi t war in 1962 that
quickly poisoned all the northern
hemr,phere and then drifted its
lethal clouds across the equator
toward Anarctics.
Most of his novels, from "Mar
azan" in 1926 to "On the Beach,"
published in 1957, were keyed ei
ther to events of the day or to
fictional forecasts concerning
some gum, catastrophic day in
the future.
