Former president Harry S. Tru man started the sessions at Inde pendence, Mo., July 2, giving as his reason for quitting the Demo cratic National Convention that the conclave had become a "pre arranged affair" and a "mockery." However. when asked wheth er he had cancelled his Los Angeles hotel reservations.

Kennedy, Tru man's principal target, replied to the charge of his presidential un readiness at a New York confer ence on July 4 by saying that he is ready and that these times demand young leadership. He cited the number of young men who have shaped history through The years, starting as far back as Alexander the Great. Excluding men under 44 from positions of leadership would have kept Christopher Columbus fr o m discovering America, Kennedy added. Kennedy said that Truman's idea of an open convention is "one which studies all the candidates— reviews their records—and then takes his advice." Truman had declined to dis close any 'specific instances of delegates who had been pressured in Kennedy's favor. Their dispute raises the ques tion as to the validity of state presidential primaries which com mit delegates in advance of the convention.

Johnson did not kill the idea of the number two position on the ticket, but some friends feel that he will not take it because he would have to give up his more powerful senate position.
