Kennedy their 42 per cent support to ride West Ward into further Battles for the democratic presidential Nomina Tion. The Kennedy men Money an mystique were simply too much for Minnesota s sen. Eugene j. Mccarthy and Indian Roger d. Branigin. But Mccarthy whose shining new Hampshire and Wisconsin primary performances were tarnished by his third place finish Here remained politically alive in defeat to fight another Day and on perhaps More favourable ground. For Branigin who ran second state s 63 convention nominating votes. If he does it is presumed they eventually might find their Way into the Roll Call of vice president Hubert a  got 31 per cent of the total democratic vote. Mccarthy s percentage was 27.

Kennedy first started in Indiana. He saturated running for the House in the 40s. State with Advance men this kind of performance has i a political Impact Akin to that generated by a baseball team jumbo 747 Jet airborne even in construction Everett Wash. Up the world s largest commercial jetliner will be airborne before it Ever leaves the world s larg est building. This in t to say the Boeing co s huge production barn at Everett is so spacious the 747superjet can Fly around inside it. But the production process will have the 231-foot Long Metal Bird Riding on cushions of com pressed air As it is floated from one position to another on the Assembly line. The plane which can car yup to 490 passengers and the 1,600-foot-Long Assembly build ing must be seen to be compre hended. Even then it s hard to believe what your eyes behold. The Plant has a volume of 160million cubic feet nearly 20 per cent More than Cape Kennedy Saturn Moon rocket building heretofore the world s largest building in terms of volume. The Everett Structure cover Sas much ground As 10 Houston Astrodome. It s longer than the Empire state building is High and the thousands of lights Hun from its ceiling use As much electricity As 30,000 average american Homes. From inside the monstrous mock up of the 747 looks some thing like a Long meeting Hal getting ready to sprout wings and take to the air. In com Mercial service expected to be Gin next year the Interior willbe compartmentalized to nullify the Long Tunnel effect. The mock up is being use to make certain every part of the 747, from the longest win panel to the tiniest switch fits exactly As it is shown on one of More than 75,000 production Blue prints. People in the business of Fly ing or building air planes Don t like to think of having one go wrong but they have to plan to a minimize  personnel already have spent Many hours testing ways to get passengers out of the 747 in a hurry. The plane s 10 doors will be twice As wide As those on today s commercial jets Soto passengers can enter or exit Side by Side. For emergency evacuation Boeing has designed an inflatable slide which can empty a fully occupied compartment within 90 seconds. We expect the 747 will Bea great Deal safer than any pre Vious jetliner says George Snyder the company s vice president of engineering. The first flying Model i scheduled to be rolled out of the at a Gross weight of 710,000pounds, it will be slightly smaller than the already completed Lockheed c5a Carrier of troops and military equipment. The 747 will Fly at about 625 Miles per hour 25 to 35 Miles per hour taster than today sets and will have a Range of about 6,000 Miles. It can land at any Airport now accommodating Large jetliners. Each 747 Cost the customer about $20 million. Thus far Boeing salesmen have signed orders for about 150 Jet liners or 3 billion Worth. Although an All Economy seat ing arrangement would accommodate 490 passengers mos orders have been for about 365 seats. Still sought the Fri has released these photos of James Earl Ray who is being sought in connection with the slaying of or. Martin lather King or. Officials said that the picture Ofray wearing dark glasses was taken in Mexico in november 19?7, and the one of him in a business suit was taken i California late in january or Early in february this year. A maybe they had a Point pyramids a time Kilter London up there Wasa time of peace in ancient Egypt and the Pharoah had to find something to occupy hordes of his subjects suddenly faced with unaccustomed Lei  solution and that of succeeding pharaohs May Well have been to build the pyramids. The theory that the pyramids May not have been specifically created for Royal tombs but were used for that purpose after Man had demonstrated his ability to build them has been advanced by or. Kurt Mendelssohn of Wolfson col lege  said he reached his conclusion after a recent inspection in Egypt when his guide insisted the Pharoah built the pyramids to attract tourists. This set him to think ing that perhaps purposes other than tombs had been in  of the earlier tourists was the historian Herodotus who was told by priests 2,500 years ago that the great Pyra mid at Giza was built in 20 years by a labor Force of 100,-000 employed for periods of three months. Reconstructing the possible inspiration of the first pyramids Mendelssohn wrote in scientific journal after several centuries of Arather uneasy and frequently broken peace Between upper and lower Egypt a firm Union with Strong Central control was finally established by the third dynasty at about 2700  and flood control provided food for a rapidly growing population. On the other hand in Egypt thalidomide trial costing millions the arable land was inundate for at least three months each year when the annual flood of the Nile brought not Only water but the fertilizing mud. Dur ing this time the population was essentially Idle except forthe possibilities offered by trib Al warfare. Now the Strong Central government could commandeer a Large labor Force to build pyramids for three months each year and arrange for its feeding from the Royal Grain reserves. Past centuries have gloated with horror Over the slavery involved in the building of use less and idolatrous pyramids but in our present time the overdeveloped countries with two sundays per week have become aware of the psycho logical dangers attending excess Leisure. We therefore can not exclude the possibility that Pyramid building was a social activity which was made Neces sary by the transition from tribalism to  Gan Szocs and follow up Ives. He spent Money to transport himself Livshis relatives and his friends to All Corners of Testate. He overwhelmed his on Pon crits with television time. Mccarthy s largely Volunteer organization which had worked so Well in previous primaries could t Muster crowds or stir up interest to rival that of the Kennedy Road show. Branigin did t even try depending Pri Raa Rily on the state patronage organization to deliver for him. It was popular for support Enof Branigin and Mccarthy to say before the primary result were in that Kennedy got All the attention he did because the people remembered the late president Kennedy fondly an wanted to see what his brother looked like up close and to see How he acted. There was More to it than that As the voters demonstrated. The Boyish looking million Aire with the shaggy hair whose shoes and cuff links were snatched joyously for souvenirs in milling crowds had a Mes Sage for negroes and workers that they seemed to understand they apparently formed the solid Backbone of his sup port at the polls. These vote helped him to win the larger cities such As Indianapolis Gary fort Wayne Richmond and Terre haute. But that did t explain it  carried the majority of Indiana farm counties although Mccarthy said he was the Only real Farmer in the race an Branigin s Basic strength had been in those areas in the past. If All of this began to Mak Kennedy look somewhat invincible As a candidate for the nomination there Are primaries ahead in Nebraska Oregon California and South Dakota where he will be called up onto duplicate his performance without a loss that would Dun his winning Luster. Meanwhile Humphrey was risking nothing in the primaries but was Busy harvesting Dele Gate votes in the Stales Wner they Are chosen by conventions. Aachen.
