Convention Had Circus Setting
Including Sights and Smells,
Declares M-T's Girl Reporter
By Alicia Ruhl
Chicago July 14 (By Mail)
The Republican party's own
unique verision of "Big Top-,"
in its five tempestuous days, had
everything but spun candy to
complete the parallel bal
loons, banners, bands, confus
ion, clowns, acrobatics, and at
moments of extreme partisan
bitterness something close to
wild animals.
The cavernous auditorium in
the midst of Chicago's stock
yards, dominated by a huge sign
hanging from its stratosphere
proclaiming it the "Home of In
ternational Livestock Exposi
tions," and with the dank smell
of straw and things even gam
ier throughout the whole area
for blocks around, was a perfect
setting for a circus.
This whole topsy-turvy city
was made that much more topsy
turvy, with, stray bands sprout
ing up on street corners and in
hotel lobbies like volunteer
crops of alfalfa, with Liberty
Bells tolling through the streets
first for Bob Taft, "Mr. Re
publican," then for General
MacArthur, "Mr. American."
Every store window which
could muster one had a televis
ion set, making the process of
wandering down the street a
constant threading in and out of
stationary crowds. Consumption
of beer in bars must have gone
up 500 per cent.
Chicagoans Interested -
Native Chicagoans demonstra
ted a lively interest in the goings-on.
Even the Western Un
ion telephone operator wanted
to know whether I was for "our
Bob." When I demonstrated a
certain lack of enthusiasm, she
conceded with a cheerful adjust
ability of attitude which would
have pleasantly surprised wor
ried party leaders that "both
boys were fine." There was no
doubt, however, that Chicago
was Bob's territory, just as it
was clear that New York was
Ike's.
As far as advertising goes
probably Bob's greatest political
liability was, first of all, his face
and finally his name. Bob's
toothy smile on the campain pos
ters looked so conscientiously
bent on being hail-fellow-well-met
that it was painful; Ike's
limber, almost toothless one fell
naturally into the groove with
out even appearing to try.
The die-hard contingent be
hind Taft seemed determined to
die hard in slogans, almost all
of which were uninspired or on
the edge of being absurd. "I'm
Daft for Taft," for example,
seemed in doubtful good judg
ment, and after several sessions
of the credentials committee the
temptation to run out one, "Get
Your Graft with Taft," must
have been almost irresistible.
However, the Eisenhower boys
had more sense than to so cruci
fy their alter ego, and even in
the most bitter moments of con
flict between the two camps
there was the . uneasy memory
that ultimately party unity was
vital if they were ever to ach
ieve that Great Day in Novem
ber for which they all hope.
Not Like 1940
It was a great show and : a
classic fight but the 25th nation
al GOP convention had little of
the sparkle and contageous en
thusiasm which first struggled
with, and finally swept the Wil
kie convention of 1940. Possibly
it is no longer possible in these
more sober and mature days for
a dark horse to catch the pop
ular fancy and ride into a win
ning position on the irresistable
wave of gallery demand.
In any case, the situation was
different. Neither candidate had
that particular variety of dyn
amism which Wilkie had up un
til the moment of his nomina
tion; both were about evenly
matched in terms of popular sup
port within the party. Moreover,
it is my' conviction that person
ality though still important
is a commodity of decreasing
value.
These days the issues seem
paramount, and the determining
issue of the Republican conven
tion was which candidate had
the greatest chance of winning
a national election.. .
The Republican leaders are
somewhat more worldly - wise
in terms of election politics at
least. Gone is the somewhat
naive confidence that can they
find a personality, develop a
leader, they can willy-nilly pro
duce a winner.
The Pattern Appear
Now that it is all over it Is
easier to see in pattern how the
scales gradually tipped in Eis
enhower's favor. Governor Fine
probably set the ball rolling
when he privately promised his
support on the very eve of the
convention. It was relatively
clear that the Governor as a
practical politician would
i pressed by any oth
er issue than just who would
be likely to be a winning can
didate. He gave the ball a further
push when he predicted that
should Eisenhower win the bal
lot on the "Fair Play" amend
ment by more than 100 votes he
would win the nomination.
Wednesday, July 16, 1952
When he won by 110 it could
hardly fail to have an effect.
The vote on the "Fair Play"
amendment itself undoubtedly
packed a psychological wallop,
for Eisenhower made an almost
clean sweep in the vitally im
portant states of New. York,
California, and Pennsylvania,
and it was unfortunately for
Eisenhower impossiole to dis
tinguish whether the vote re
flected the delegates' views on
the issue or on the man himself.
Furthermore, the MacArthur
keynote speech, clearly stage
managed to produce a climatic
effect, somehow failed to come
off. Minus his padded army
jacket the "old soldier" look
ed his age and his speech, over
long and over-emphasized, was
not up to his usual oratorical
standards. His profile still had
that clean-cut rock-of-Gibraltar
quality, his hair, thinner but
hardly grayed was slicked di
rectly across his head like pol
ished mahogany, his eyes were
still keen and he bowed with
that old regal manner that seems
native to him.
Still there was something
frail, and one got the impres
sion that the ovation given him
was one largely of respect and
not intended as recognition of
president or party oracle mater
ial. Taft Strategists Erred
In the meantime, the Taft
strategists erred in the begin
ning and instead of recogniz
ing their mistake and liquida
ting it they chose to follow
through on their original tack
and fight a damaging delaying
action. When Taft-man Clarence
Brown started out somewhat
lamely with: "there is a quest
ion in my mind as to whether
or not the Langley (Fair Play)
Amendment is subject to a point
of order" the explosion of boos
and catcalls nearly blew him
off the stand. Instead of tak
ing the hint and retiring grace
fully from the issue they
brought it to a vote and lost.
Nixon Has Personality
With all over but the shout
ing, the Eisenhowers threaded
their way down the central aisle
amidst wildly shouting delegates
and to the strains of a jauntily
strummed banjo. .
On the podium Eisenhower
rocked on his heels in time to
the music, then stretched up his
arms in a spread-eagled gesture
which seems characteristic, piv
oting at the waist so as to take
in all areas of the gallerly to
left and to right. He looked a
little flustered, but delivered
his speech with dignity and un
ostentatious competence.
The real personality pair of
the campaign team, however,
appeared to be vice-presidential
candidate Nixon and Ike's bet-
'ter half, Mamie. The dark,
curly-haired Nixon looks rug
ged and boyish. He speaks as
easily as a bubbling fountain
and with an instinctive feeling
for the mood of the crowd, and
his smile always seems to have
just sprung to his lips, his hand
never seems to tire with shak
ing, and his back looks ade
quate to the shower of pats des
tined to fall upon it. When it
fell 'his turn, he bounded onto
the speakers' podium like an
athlete preparing to take a pole
vault. Mamie,' on the other
hand, has a personableness that
doesn't come through as well in
photographs. She seems to
thrive on the limelight in a most
appealing manner, enjoying it
spontaneously and responding to
it with a graceful coquetry
which in turn pleases her aud
ience. Dressed in a Paris outfit
of grey shantung, small white
hat, with a huge spray of white
orchids pinned to her shoulder,
she looked like a million dollars
and was unselfconsciously
aware of it.

Never should be kissed on the

to pause a moment to give trib

went about her business of
keeping a home and being a
mother Mrs. Bernice Anderson
Bray.
Even while rearing a large
family, she was active in her
church and in community life.
At one time our chief of police
called on her husband asking
how it was that their boys were
so courteous and well behaved
never any trouble like those
of smaller and sometimes richer
families often were.
Most large families had
black sheep none here. The fa
ther said that he supplied the
rod when necessary; but the real
reason he felt, was that each
evening Mother found time -took
, time to gather her chil
dren around her for a story a
Bible story, a story of a great
hero, or a gem of literature. Her
stories made people really live.
.Her sons carry this influence
on a widening circle one is an
assistant pastor, another served
with distinction as a chaplain in
the army and is now ready to go
to Japan as a missionary, a third
is a physician in Medford and
prominent in Lions club work

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Here-we-go-again note:
"The Democrats are streaming
into Chicago to nominate a
Presidential candidate in a con
vention they forecast will be
ROUGH, RUGGED and WIDE
OPEN." THAT'S WONDERFUL and I
MEAN it. Sincerely. No tongue-in-cheek
. business. No se
cret hoping they'll get them
selves snarled up in a cat fight
that will send them home claw
ed and bitten and bitterly an
gry at each other.
That would make it easy for
the Republicans, but the last
thing on earth the Republicans
need this year is an EASY cam
paign. If Ike is to win in No
vember, with a Republican house
and a Republican senate behind
him, it can come about only if
EVERYBODY who believes in
him and believes in what the
Republican party can and WILL
do under his leadership gets out
and works and votes as nobdoy
has worked for a Republican vic
tory in half a century.
That can't happen if those who
would like to see Ike in the
White House and Republican ma
jorities in both houses of con
gress get the idea that it's in the
bag.
SO I HOPE the Democrats will
leave Chicago at the end of
next week with their ticket
headed by the best men they've
got and with everybody full of
fight. Only in that way can we
get this kind of political cam
paign we NEED in this critical
year of decision.
TF THE DEMOCRATIC nation---
al convention of 1952 really is
rough, rugged and wide open,"
it will be wonderful"because for
two decades Democratic conven
tions haven't been that way.
They've been RATIFICATION
meetings. The nominee has been
known in advance. The business
of the delegates has been mere
ly to put their OK on a decision
already made AT THE TOP.
When that was done, they broke
up, shook hands and went home
There are signs that it won't
be that way this year. I think
that's all to the good. Party
conventions that are nothing
more than ratification meetings
lead in time to DYNASTIES.
Dynasties and democracy don't
mix.
FOR THE FIRST time in four
conventions 1936, 1940,
1944 and 1948 there will be
CONFLICT at the Democratic
national convention that will as
semble in Chicago next week
Conflict in the sense that there
will be present LEADERS WITH
FOLLOWINGS. This year it
isn't known in advance who will
come out on top. In the past it
has been known.
That will put COMPETITION
back into the Democratic con
vention. Competition is a good
thing both in business and in
politics.
rTHIS FOREKNOWLEDGE that
- there will ne competition in
Chicago next week has resulted
in six avowed candidates Se"
ator Russell of Georgia, Senator
ator Kefauver of Tennessee, Sea
Kerr of Oklahoma, Senator Mc
Mahon of Connecticut, Vice
Presidtn Barkley of Kentucky
and W. Averell Harriman of
New York.
In addition, there is Governor
Stevenson of Illinois, who is say
ing that he won't volunteer but
hasn't said he will refuse to be
drafted.
That is enough competition to
insure a Democratic convention
that will be quite different from
any in the past.
H
ERE'S A. hunch:
WATCH KEFAUVER.
On one thing every delegate
in the convention that will as
semble in Chicago next Monday
morning can agree with every
other delegate.
They all ' want a winner. Not
only are philosophies of govern
ment at stake. Every federal job
holder wants to keep his job.
Each will know that his job will
be in jeopardy if the Republicans
win. There may be conflict of
ideas on other points, but on that
point there is complete harmony.
Everybody wants a winner.
Winning requires votes.
SO NO MATTER what the pol
iticians, maiv think of him
don't write Kefauver off. What
ever it is, he HAS the magic
ingredient it takes to get votes.
I'd like to add that even Harry
Truman can't be written off in
advance. .This convention that
is going to assemble in Chicago
next week is going to want, first
of all, a winner, and if a situ
ation arises in which it appears
that Truman is the most certain
winner he will be the nominee.
It's improbable, but not im
possible. AT EUGENE CONFERENCE

Delivery of Danish Ship
To Russia Poses Problem
To US State Department
By HOMER JENKS
Staff Correspondent
The United States is debating
whether to cut off economic and
military aid to Denmark because
she delivered a 13,000 -ton
ocean-going tanker to Russia.
Mrs. Eugenie Anderson, U. S.
ambassador in Copenhagen,
flew back to Washington last
week-end for urgent consulta
tions at the State Department
on what, if anything. It's a pret
ty safe guess that the U.S. will
keep on helping her Scandinavia
ally. We have too much at stake
in Northern Europe to do other
wise. The same decision also is like
ly to be made if and when Den
mark delivers a sister tanker
to the Soviets.
The facts indicate the Danes
have solid moral and legal
grounds for ignoring Uncle
Sam's protest. By the -same tok
en, however, the U.S. had no
choice but to make the protest.
Here is the background:
Russia contracted with Den
mark in 1948 to build two 13,-000-ton
tankers and has nearly
finished paying for them. The
first tanker was completed last
month. The second, scheduled
for delivery in September 1953,
has not been laid down yet.
Just before the first, known
as Apsheron, was turned over
to the Soviets in Copenhagen
early this month, Mrs. Ander
son called at the Danish For
eign Office and delivered a for
mal American protest against
the transaction.
She warned the Danes that
the so - called Battle Act stip-'
ulates the U.S. shall cut off all
economic and military aid to
any country sending goods of
"primary strategic significance"
to the Soviet Union or any of
its satellites. The act defined a
tanker among the banned goods.
The Danes pondered the pro
test for several days, but finally
replied that they must complete
the delivery because it was un
der an old contract negotiated
long before the Battle Act was
came law last February.
The Apsheron was turned ov
er to a Soviet crew July 7 and

The Battle Act contains a

contingency, however. It permits
the President to make exception
if cessation of aid would prove
detrimental to American secur

President well might decide
that American security would
be endangered by adverse Amer
