Governor delays Kefauver successor naming in Tennessee
Nashville UPI Gov. Frank Clement said it would be at least two weeks before naming a successor to Sen. Estes Kefauver who died Saturday. Clement in Oklahoma City attended a conference and said choosing a successor would be premature. Speculation tied Lt Gov. James Bomar or former Gov. Buford Eltington to the vacancy, with others suggesting Eddy Arnold or House Speaker Dick Barry.

Dixie Chiefs Meeting Set Next Week
17 Southeast chief executives will gather in White Sulphur Springs for the Southern Governors Conference to discuss civil rights and Kennedy proposals. Militant segregationists may seek a conference record against the President. Governors Barnett and Wallace push an independent electors plan to deny Kennedy in 1964, hoping unpledged electors force a House decision. Conference chairman Faubus and others arrive over the weekend as business sessions begin Monday.
