o Circus Style Hoopla Accompanies Republican Nominating Speeches Convention Hall, Chicago U.R) There can't have been any thing like it since Vesuvius blew up. They nominated candidates for the presidential nomination Thursday night and early Friday. It is a tradition of American politics for partisans at nominat ing conventions to stage organ ized riots for their men. Nobody that lived through this session, and thousands did, will ever forget it. In. the small hours tempers got short and at 1:26 a.m. a pushing, shoving brawl broke up in front of the speak er's rostrum over a California standard. . Near Battle Fists came close to flying when angry California delegates tried to recover a state standard from supporters of Gen. Douglas MacArthur, one of five men put in nomination for president. It took six or seven ushers and several policemen to restore or der. One husky MacArthur sup porter was wrestled violently to the floor by a policeman and removed from the hall. Delegates roared and chanted ' and shouted and made with sirens, cap pistols, rattles and cowbells until every seismograph in the country should have gone off the dial. Planned Pandemonium It was a sort of planned pande monium with overtones of jun gle frenzy and camp meeting ' ecstasy. It was planned, the way a cir cus is planned, because four-foot balloons, 30-foot standards, and placards and banners in the spe cial colors that show up well in black-and-white TV don't just materialize. Neither do such properties as elephant masks, lion heads, and dizzy hats de signed to make pretty girls look silly. So in a way the night's demon strations were about as spon taneous as Brooklyn Bridge at the start at least. How else explain the red- faced, overweight, middle-aged couple that suddenly took to dancing among the tubas of a brass band during the demon stration for Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower? Taft Demonstration Firs! The first big demonstration was for Sen. Robert . A. Taft, nominated by Sen. Everett M. Dirksen, 111. Non-delegate Taft backers who had been lurking for hours at the gates suddenly stampeded into the arena and the riot was on. They went mildly wild when Dirksen was introduced but re served most of their firepower until he concluded. Warren Effort Noisy - The Warren people couldn't equal te Taft show because they were outnumbered by hundreds. But individually they seemed noisier. They had more cowbells. Stars of the Warren spectacle were the governor's lovely daughters, Nina, Dorothy, and Virginia The loudest and longest and craziest bedlam of the evening was produced by victory-scenting demonstrators for Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. It lasted 11 minutes longer than Taft's. Ike Ruckus James M. Reynolds,' swivel hipped young man from Pasa dena, Calif., son of the pen man ufacturer, led the Eisenhower ruckus from the rostrum. Mar tin looked at him and remarked, "He's the noisiest Republican I ever heard." The audience was tiring by the time Harold E. Stassen was put in nomination by Mrs. C. E. Howard of Minnesota, but not too tired to loose ffew wolf calls and whistles at the lovely brunette speaker. The MacArthur demonstra tion wound up the evening. It started when Fred L. Coogan of Oklahoma finished his speech putting in nomination a name he said "will not die and will not fade away." It lasted 32 minutes. Record Wheat Crop Predicted for Oregon Portland (U.PJ A record Ore gon wheat crop of 30,080,000 bushels for 1952 was forecast Friday by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. This was about 236,000 bushels above the June 1 forecast. ' ' The estimate for the state of Washington was 73,844,000 bu shels ,a decrease of nearly 7,- 000,000 bushels since the June 1 prediction. Louis XIV's food -and napkin were passed to him, on state oc casions, by six dukes, a prince and three lesser nobles. The leopard lizard often grows to a length of 12 or more inches.
