The body is at Gantt Funeral Home, Liberty, and will be taken to the home at 11 a.m. Wednesday. John E. Morgan Run By Senators said, "seems to be more disor der, more riots ana more misery." "Until this week," McCarthy added, "President Johnson has assured us that we could fight both wars the war in Vietnam and the war on poverty and ignorance at home.

"In fact," he added, "we are only fighting one war and not winning any." The senator said the United States has been like a colonial power in regard to its Negro citizens. "Unlike the great European colonial powers," he went on, "we cannot pretend that our obligations ended with emancipation. "We must spend as much money as it takes over the next five, 10, 15 or 20 years as long as it takes to meet these needs," he added. McCarthy picked up his first supporter in the Wisconsin congressional delegation. Rep.

Henry S. Reuss said in Milwaukee he will vote for McCarthy in the April 2 primary. Nearly all of the 30 GOP senators invited by Morton to attend the breakfast with Rockefeller showed up, although one, Sen. Gordon Allott of Colorado, decided at the lact moment his attendance might make him look like a Rockefeller supporter instead of a neutral.

MY by Billy Graham I am thirteen years old, and I try to do what I believe is right, but I always have bad luck, no matter what I do. I have almost come to believe that God doesn't love me any. more because everything I touch goes Please help me. J. II.

Dear J. As we develop into grown-ups we all go through an awkward stage where it seems that nothing goes right. Just as we have "growing pains" physically, we have "growing pains" mentally and spiritually. To you, this seems like bad luck, but it is normal and you shouldn't be too frustrated. It is all part of the process of developing into an adult.

Please don't feel that these things happen because God doesn't love you. He loves awkward people just as much as He loves those who are adroit, and perhaps even more. And what you are experiencing isn't "bad luck." I read no place in the Bible about bad luck. Everything that happens to a believer, both good and ill, is for our good, and for our growth. The Bible says, "All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his pur- ipose." (Romans I have recently been ill, and I don't blame it upon bad luck.

Perhaps God knew that my bckj; and mind needed rest, and He put me in bed. This has been a time of great benefit and blessing to me, and I will come out of it a better person. Take all that hapens to you (even the ill) and say, 'God is working out His purpose, and I will praise Him."

The money goes to Carolina Community Actions of Rock Hill. 9 J. for to WASHINGTON (AP) A broad range of Republican senators urged Nelson A. Rockefeller Tuesday to enter the GOP presidential race but the New York governor said he is still weighing the matter. Some 17 of the 36 Republican senators turned up for breakfast with the governor.

The host, Sen. Thruston B. Morton of Kentucky, said: "No commitments were asked. None were given." Rockefeller told reporters afterwards that most of those who attended thought he should fun on grounds "competition in the Republican party is healthy. They felt from the point of view of the party and the country this was desirable," he said.

After the session, Rockefeller flew back to New York for talks concerning his state budget. An aide said an announcement will be made Wednesday in Albany on where and when the governor will issue his promised statement of political intentions.

In his speech at Howard, McCarthy called for a guaranteed annual income and vast increases in federal housing and education programs but warned "these programs will only be a dream, only rhetoric, as long as this nation continues to wage its unjust war in Vietnam." PRESIDENT CRITICIZED McCarthy criticized Johnson's proposals to cut back domestic spending to improve chances for a tax increase and said they "cast an ominous shadow" over the recommendations by his riot commission for multibillion dollar measures to help the cities Johnsons response to the commission's report, McCarthy E.
