Nicely-Greased Truman-Barkley
Machine Runs Over All Opposition
By PETER EDSON
(NEA Washington Correspondent)
WASHINGTON (NEA) The democratic national committee
neetlng which elected William M. Boyle Jr., at Ita new national
chairman, provided a first-class example of how a well-oiled political
machine should run.
The meeting was called for 10
a.m.. but It didn't begin till near
ly 11. None of these things ever
starts on time. It makes no dif
ference because, when the ma
chine is In perfect working order,
itcan rush things through so fast
tt makes up for lost time.
Also, the delay enabled the del
egates to wander around and find
where they were supposed to sit.
During the night, flunkies had
tvpewritten the names of the na
tional committeemen and com
mitteewomen on slips of paper.
These were pasted on the backs
of the chairs.
Some of the labels, it was no
ticed, had names of states ou

Just all been run over by the

machine. This ma
chine didn't want the Dixlecrat
committeemen from those states
included for this election, so it
just left their names off their
chairs.
Replies Precede Questions.
When the meeting was finally
called to order and the roll was
called as the first order of busi
ness, the names of the states
whose committeemen were not
wanted were merely skipped.
Louisiana and Missis;ipl were
practically read right out of the
party. This is what Is supposed
to be the democratic process
full, free, open and fair elections
by representatives of the pee-pul.
A snort time ago, a marvelous
new electronic brain and calcu
lating machine was unveiled at
Department of Agriculture. In
seconds, it could solve compli
cate ' problems that would take
the human brain years.
But this Democratic party ma-!
chine had that scientific gadget
beat a mile. Why, this Demo
cratic machine even turned out
the answers before it knew what ,
the problem was. j
for instance, retiring lNatlon.il
Chairman J. Howard McGrath
appointed some committees. A
Committee on Credentials, for In-1
stance: Chairman, Frank Mc-;
Hale of Indiana, David Lawrence
of Pennsylvania, Jonathan Dan
iels of North Carolina, and so on.
The strange thing was that al-
thouRh this committee was ap
pointed right there before your
eyes, It had already been in ses
sion lor 12 hours. 11 wound up Its
business at 3 a.m. on the morn
ing of the full national commit
tee meeting, with all Its worn
done. Not even an electronic
brain could beat that.
Boot For Dlxieorats
What this machine committee
did was simply to kick out those
Dixlecrat national committee
men who hadn't supported tlv;
campaign of President Truman
In the last election. Ousted were
Marion Rushton of Alabama, Wil
liam H. Talbot of Louisiana, J.
B. Snider and Mrs. Hermes Gau
tier of Mississippi, J. Strom
Thurmond and Mrs. Albert Ag
new of South Carolina.
Retiring Chairman McGrath
ruled that national committee
men were officers of the Demo
cratic National Convention, hold
ing four-year terms between con
ventions. He said there was no
rule which compelled the nation
al committee to follow the rec
ommendations of the states as to
who its member! should be.

Mrs. Roosevelt Values Facts Obtained
In Contact With Red Youth Congress
NEW YORK, Aug. 31. UP)
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt said
Monday she knew for a long time
that the American Youth congress
followed the communist line but
worked with It Just the same.
Her purpose in doing so, she
wrote In McCall's magazine, was
to change the organization's
course.
The former first lady said the
experience "was of Infinite value
to me in understanding some of
the tactics I have had to grapple
with in the United Nations."
Mrs. Roosevelt's article was
the fourth Installment of a new
series of memoirs.
Of the depression-born AYC,
she said:
"I had great sympathy for these
young people, even though they
annoyed me. In that critical pe
riod, growing up was much more
difficult than it had been at any
previous time any of us could re
member. I have never felt the
slightest bitterness toward any of
them and, as a matter of fact, I
am extremely grateful for my ex
perience with them.
"I learned what communist tac
tics are. I know how infiltration
of an organization is accomplish
ed. I understand how communists
get themselves Into positions of
importance. I understand all their
methods of objection and delay,
the effort to tire out the rest of
the group, then carry the vote
when all their opponents have
gone home. These tactics are all
familiar to me. I know, too, that
no defeat Is final
"In fact. I think my work with
the American Youth congress
wai of Infinite value to me in un
derstanding some of the tactics I
have had to grapple with n
United Nations."
