WILSON 'United Press International The greatest balancing act since High Wire B 1 b n d i n pranced above Niagara Falls is taking place among the top Democratic politicians n Texas with President Johnson in charge.

K i 1 g o r e would have opposed in the primary Sen. Ralph Yarborough, a liberal Democrat. Kilgore had the support of Gov. John B. Connally, a one - time aide and long time political associate of President Johnson. A Texas Democratic slate headed by conservatives Connally and Kilgore might have persuaded big city northern voters to suspect that Johnson also was tainted by southern conservatism. Protect Connally Texas dispatches now relate that the President has moved to protect Connally from a primary contest with another Texas Yarborough, this one also a liberal but no relation to the senator. This Yarborough is Don who missed by a whisker defeating Connally for the Democratic gubernatorial nom ination two years ago. The President's thumbs down evidently either will get Don Yarborough out of the primary contest altogether or cut him down to bite size for Connally. Connally is regarded as a conservative by Texas liberals. Texas Republicans do not regard Connally as a bona fide conservative. The story of the Democratic party in Texas is of angry struggle between liberals and conservatives. Each wing controls about 15 per cent of the party. They battle for the middle 70 per cent which is not ab solutely committed in politics. John F. Kennedy's visit to Texas last November was to heal the party breach. President Johnson is continuing the effort to make a deal. iv. V . ' D-Te- x., v..

The boys, returning from a fishing trip in nearby Indian River, spotted the bomb as they walked along the main d railline of the two of north miles about way the nation's space center at Cape Kennedy. FEC Vice President Winf red L.

The bomb was the second directed at the rail line this week. A dynamite blast destroyed an FEC trestle and blew up 32 freight cars in Miami Sunday.
