Concerned demos back McCarthy
United Press International
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy's decision not to become a favorite son presidential candidate paved the way for Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy's entrance into the Massachusetts primary.
McCarthy, who announced Thursday that he would oppose President Johnson in California, Oregon, Nebraska and Wisconsin, disclosed during the weekend he also would run in Massachusetts.

Kennedy said McCarthy's success in the Massachusetts primary would depend "a great deal on how well he debates the issue" of Vietnam.
McCarthy said he still has made no decision on entering the New Hampshire primary.
The National Conference of Concerned Democrats unanimously endorsed McCarthy's candidacy Sunday at the windup of a two-day meeting in Chicago. The conference was attended by more than 450 local officeholders and rank-and-file Democrats who have split with Johnson over Vietnam.
But Southern and Western Democrats adopted resolutions strongly backing President Johnson at regional conferences at Charleston, W. Va., and La Costa, Calif.
On the Pacific Coast, Democratic party leaders unanimously called for Johnson's reelection and voiced confidence in his prospects for carrying the West.
A Gallup Poll released during the weekend showed that former Gov. George C. Wallace of Alabama had almost doubled his support as a third party presidential candidate this year.
Wallace drew 12 per cent of the national vote in a poll pitting him against Johnson and former Vice President Richard M. Nixon, the Republican frontrunner. Johnson led with 44 per cent and Nixon had 36 per cent.
WASHINGTON —(UPI)—A week of lavish parties will precede Washington's marriage of the year—the White House wedding of Lynda Bird Johnson and Marine Capt. Charles S. Robb.
Parties precede Johnson wedding
The first of the parties came
Sunday night at the posh City Tavern Club in Georgetown when the President and Mrs. Johnson met the relatives and friends of their daughter's future in-laws, Mr. and Mrs. James S. Robb.
Tonight, Lynda and Robb, who
is known as "Chuck" to his friends, are to attend a reception for foreign dignitaries at the luxurious Georgetown home of roving Ambassador and Mrs. W. Averell Harriman.
