Pat Kress Xs now barbering at Don's Bar Markets man is willing to go if the convention wants him. Some of the old pros have been trying to assess Nixon sentiment within the GOP ranks.

But Nixon's organization consists of only three secretaries to answer mall. However, Nixon Is talking like a politician eager to Inherit a substantial share of conservative support if anything happened to Sen. Barry on the way to the nomination. He has been advocating the get tough with the Communists policies Goldwater evidently thinks are popular with his conservative followers. On Viet Nam, which Nixon has Just visited, he and Goldwater sound strikingly alike.

Both want to eliminate the so-called privileged sanctuary of North Viet Nam. Both have called for firmer policies in dealing with Cuba. These parallel views are not likely to be overlooked by the conservatives if they find they cannot nominate Goldwater and start looking elsewhere for a candidate. Icenogle May Replace Tree Control Group Mayor Carus S. Icenogle is expected to appoint a new Tree Commission which will process applications for removing or planting of trees and shrubs on city boulevards.

Icenogle attempted to reactivate the long -dormant commission in December, 1962, but got no re sponse. Under a 1947 city ordinance, the Tree Commission is empowered to control the placement and removal of trees and shrubs on city property, which includes boulevards. Police Chief Marion Joseph has published notices that permits are required for planting or removal of trees and shrubs. Publication of notices was fol lowed by several telephone in quiries to City Clerk C. Warren Drlskell's office and the Journal-Gazette.

Icenogle said permits are re quired under the 1947 ordinance and must be approved by the Tree Commission. The mayor said there is no fee for the permits. He said applications should be filed with Drlskell's office In City Hall. Icenogle has said in the past that there "should be supervision' of tree placement and removal on boulevards and other city property so that the city could stop "ill use" of the property. The Tree Commission has been an obscure organization that was not called on for tree control un til Icenogle's reactivation attempt in 1962.

The mayor did not reveal who would be appointed to the new commission. He said he may make the appointments at a meeting Tuesday night of the City Coun cil.

Burke, a Catholic, was telling the visitors her heartache when her daughter, Melanie, now 20, was refused entrance Into a Chicago Catholic grammar school.

Children Visit In the Burke's kitchen, home visits on a younger level were in progress, as Mary Teresa Olmstead, 4, and Laura Miller, 12, played with two of the Burke's four children, Ronald, 12, and Dledre, 10. Mary Teresa's opinion of Negroes zoomed when the Burke children showed her their dog, plummeted when she got hit in the eye with a rubber band, and climbed again when, they let her plink on the piano. As we were driving away, back Into our white world, Mary Teresa tapped her father on the shoulder.

"You know, Dad, I was kinda getting to know those people, And you know what? Mrs. Burke is sort of like Grandma. They both have a little bit dark skin," she said.

UR Danny Nowell will be the center of attention when he tells schoolmates about his weekend adventure, but it's doubtful any will envy him. Danny, 11, was one of several boys holding restraining ropes on a balloon piloted Saturday by William R- Berry of Concord. To tighten his grip, Danny wrapped the rope around wrist.

When Berry signaled to cast off, Danny shot skyward with the balloon. Screams ol startled spectators went unheard In the gondola. The balloon rose to 3,000 feet before Berry heard Danny's urgent plea: "Mister please help me." Berry was horrified to see the boy hanging below. "Hold on. It's all right.

Well get you down," Berry assured him. He cut off the propane burners sending hot gas Into the 70-foot tall balloon and the big bag drifted down and settled in a tree. They had been aloft about 15 minutes and traveled two miles. Danny was taken to a hospital in San Francisco where he was found to be uninjured except for a sore hand.
