  • Democrats Convene
    The Daily Register >loiniuftiiili C onIII.> \ Great Homo VOL. 103 NO. 35 SHREWSBURY, N.J. MONDAY, AUGUST 11,1980 20 CENTS Democrats convene; unity efforts begin NEW YORK (AP) - The Democratic Party opens its national convention today with a session that could climax the bitter struggle between President Carter and Sen Edward M. Kennedy. But even as their supporters frantically lobby wavering delegates, the candidates themselves seem curiously conciliatory. On the eve of today's critical rules vote, which will determine whether delegates must stand by the candidate they were pledged to support, Ken- nedy was easing away from his anti-Carter rhetoric. And in what one Carter aide described as a major, unilateral concession to Kennedy, the president agreed yesterday to support several platform planks supported by the Massachusetts senator — including one that criticizes Carter's anti-inflation strategy and pledges the party will not "pursue a policy of high interest rates and unemployment as a means to fight inflation " The specter of the Republican Party appeared to be behind the sudden rash of peace-making within the Democratic ranks. "There's nothing in the world that can bring a group of Democrats together like Ronald Re- agan," said Robert Strauss, Carter's campaign chairman. But lobbying for today's rules debate was fierce, all the same. Carter backers led by Vice President Walter Mondale visited delegates from various states last night, arguing mightily against Kennedy's bid for an "open" convention. With the binding- HOME DESTROYED — Mary Galvin sits on a sofa that slammed into her delegate rule, Mondale told Pennsylvania's dele- home on San Padre Island, Texas, during the height of Hurricane Allen.
