Tumult, Shouting Die;
Country Is Assured
Worthy Candidates
BY R. W. RUHL
' Chicago, July 26 (Special by Wire) "The captains and kings
depart"-. also the shattered delegate from Jackrabbit-Station,
Texas, and the Kefauver balloon from Nashville, Tennessee. The
show is over, the play is played out, and Chicago, including the
stockyards pavilion, and its penetrating and revolting odor, returns
to normalcy and we hope normal prices for patrons of the Saddle
and Sirloin Club.
But with the nomination of Adlai Stevenson that familiar verse
from Kipling's recessional should be quoted in full as follows:
"The tumult and the shouting dies
The captains and the kings depart,
Still stands thy ancient sacrifice
An humble and a contrite heart."
Never before, as far as your correspondent's memory goes, has
a man been nominated for the presidency of, either major party so
distinguished by his "humble and
We are sure those who heard
speech early this morning will agree that there was and is
something new under the political sun a man accepting a presi
dential nomination, with a deep sense of personal humility but a
firm determination to do everything in his power to prove him
self worthy of the trust placed in him, and to advance the security
and welfare of his country and all the people in it.
It was, we feel, one of the finest acceptance speeches delivered
to the people of the country in many years, and reached a high
point morally and intellectually not attained since the days of
Woodrow Wilson.
So win, lose or draw, the Democratic party has a new candidate
and a very different as well as capable one.
So has the Republican party, for that matter.
As your correspondent prepares to leave after attending the
two conventions, he would like to state that the two major parties
have never chosen two presidential candidates of higher character
"and calibre than those nominated this year.'
They are very different in training and temperament, but they
are both completely honest, marked by a deep sincerity, a. devout
devotion to their country and the welfare of its people. So which
ever party is successful the undersigned has no more worries as
to the country's fate or future worries that he certainly did have
before the two conventions met. "Hail and farewell!"
Eisenhower Expects Win
Over Democrats in Fall
Denver U.R) Dwight D.
Eisenhower, Republican presi
dential nominee, predicted Sat
urday that he will defeat Gov.
Adlai E. Stevenson for the
presidency in November.
But Eisenhower's vice presi
dential running mate, Sen.
Richard M. Nixon, conceded that
the Democrats have selected a
ticket that will be "tough" to
beat.
One of Best Candidates
Nixon told newsmen on his
arrival here for a conference
with Eisenhower that he consid
ers Stevenson "one of the best
candidates" the Democrats could
have chosen for their presiden
tial nominee.
But he said Stevenson's chan
ces of election were "hurt con
siderably" by the support he got
from big city political machines.
"What we have is some new
faces but the same old deal,"
Nixon said.

Steelworkers Start
Returning to Mills
As Long Strike Ends
Firing of Furnaces
To Start at Once
Washington (U.R) CIO
President Philip Murray ordered
his 600,000 striking steelworkers
back to the mills Saturday after
knocking out the last snag in a
related iron ore workers dispute
Murray wired all union locals
across the nation to pull down
their picket lines and send their
members back to their jobs as
soon as orderly resumption of
steel production permits.
Longest In U. S. History
Thus the great 1952 steel
strike, longest and costliest in
American history, came to a be
lated, official close. It was just
two davs after the dramatic
White House agreement and 24
hours after union ratification.
Workmen were scheduled to
begin firing the blast furnaces
immediately. Within four days
to a week, most of the giant
mills will begin rolling full
speed again to make up for the
loss of millions of tons of steel
and vital arms production.
The 55-day walkout was sup
posed to end officially yester
day but at the last minute back-to-work
orders were held up
while negotiators tackled a snag
in the related iron ore workers
wage talks.
They knocked out the final
hitch in a series of hard-hitting
conferences Saturday. Union
and "Big Six" industry leaders
agreed on new wage scales for
the 23,000 ore workers who
have" been getting small differ
entials than the steel workers.
The iron ore workers also are
members of the CIO United
Steelworkers union.
Complete Agreement
After the iron ore talks, Mur
ray announced that there finally
was "complete agreement" on
the strike settlement. He said
the strikers should return to
work "in orderly fashion as they
are called."
Final settlement not only
meant work again for the steel
and ore workers but for the
more than 1,500,000 workers in
dozens of affiliated industries
who were idled by the steel pro
duction cut-off.
The strike took a heavy toll
as it ground deep into the na
tion's economy and security
More than 17,000,000 tons of
steel were lost and it will take
months to make it up. The steel
workers lost more than $480,
000,000 in wages.

Abdicate
Cairo, Egypt (U.R) King
Farouk was forced off the throne
Saturday by Egypt's new mili
tary regime and .driven into ex
ile with his 18-year-old commoner-Queen,
.Narriman, and
their six-month-old son.
Troops under the command of
Gen. Mohammed Naguib, the
"Strong Man" who seized power
in Egypt five days ago, smashed
their way into Farouk s luxur
ious palace in Alexandria and
forced the king to abdicate in
favor of his son.
The cabinet promptly declar
ed the infant ruler "King Ahm
ed Fuad II of Egypt and the Su
dan" a title indicating that
Egypt will continue to press its
claim for annexation of the Anglo-Egyptian
Sudan despite Far
ouk's abdication.
A four - man regency coun
cil was appointed immediately to
reign in the name of the infant
king.
After his troops defeated the
King's bodyguard, Naguib gave
Farouk eight hours to get out
of the country, and the ex-king
left his waterside palace on the
way to his yacht just 15 min
utes before the deadline at 6
p.m. (10 a.m. EDT).
Queen Narriman and a gov
erness carrying the infant king
in her arms were the first to
board the royal yacht Marouso.
The king, calm - faced, but with
tears in his eyes followed a few
minutes later.
A 21-gun salute was fired as
a parting courtesy as the Mar-
ousa sailed out of the harbor.
The King and Queen took 204
pieces of luggage with them on
their journey into exile. The
Marousa was expected to carry
them to Italy and then return
here.
Unofficial reports that the
exiled King planned eventually
to go to the United States were
discounted by U.S. officials here
and in Washington.
"Premier Aly Maher, appoint
ed to head a new government
three days ago on Naguib's de
mand, was at the quayside to
bid the deposed monarch fare
well. United States Ambassador
Jefferson Caffery, who confer
red with both Farouk and Mah
er during the tense hours preced
ing the abdication, also was on
hand.
Maher and his cabinet, con
firmed in office only yesterday,
were scheduled to resign Satur
day night.

If he was nervous, the nervousness soon
wore off, and in a moment- he was telling the
leaders and rank and file members of his party
that "just winning this election" is not the im
portant thing.
The delegates sat on their hands when they
heard that. But he went on to say that what
concerned him is not the victory "but how it
is won."
He told the delegates, "now that you have
made your decision I will fight to win that
office with all my heart and soul." And "with
your help," he said, "I have no doubt that we
will win."

sought the honor that came to
him.
Wants To Rest
Asked about his immediate
plans, Stevenson told a reporter
that "I'm tired" and that he
wanted to rest up from the stren
uous pace of the last couple days.
An aide said the governor
plans to return to the state cap
ital of Springfield, 111., within
"two or three days." Afer that,
the aide said, his plans are high
ly uncertain.
. Stevenson went to his tempo
rary quarters on Chicago's Gold

back at convention hall Saturday
afternoon to introduce his newly
selected vice-presidential run

man of Alabama, to the weary
delegates.

Democrats Select
'Harmony' Ticket
For Fall Election
Middle-of-Roader
And Southern Liberal
Convention Hall. Chicago
(U.R) The Democratic party
wound up its 31st National con
vention Saturday nominating
Sen. John J. Sparkman of Ala
bama as vice presidential run
ning mate for Illinois Gov. Adlai
E. Stevenson on a "harmony"
ticket for the November elec
tions. Sparkman was nominated by
acclamation some 13a hours
after the cheering delegates
picked Stevenson to head the
team they will throw against
Republican Dwight D. Eisenhow
er and Sen. Richard M. Nixon
in the fall.
Unity Climax
It was a smashing "unity" cli
max to the six-day convention
which witnessed a runing fight
between southern Democrats and
northern liberals over the civil
rights question and the seating
of three Dixie states which re
fused to take the "loyalty
pledge."
But party leaders hoped that
the nomination of Sparkman,
considered a southern "liberal,"
and Stevenson generally regard
ed as middle-of-t h e-r o a d e r,
would weld the party into a uni
fied fighting unit.
Stevenson made a farewell
appearance at the convention
shortly before it adjourned for
another four years to introduce
Sparkman to the delegates. Both
men promised a hard fight and
predicted it would lead to vic
tory. Week of Maneuvers
The convention ended on a
harmonious note after a week of
maneuvering between the Stev
enson forces and the backers of
Sen. Estes Kefauver, Sen. Rich
ard B. Russell and Averell Har-
himan for the presidential
nomination.
In the end, the men seeking
the prize for the "reluctant"
Illinois governor crushed the
Kefauver-Harriman combine,
brought the northern "liberals"
into line and ran away with the
nomination on a third ballot
early this morning.
About midway during the con
vention, the Stevenson backers
had lined up with the Russell
forces to seat the Virginia, South
Carolina, and Louisiana delega
tions and give them voting priv
ileges despite their flat refusal
to sign the loyalty pledge.
The Kefauver-Harriman for
ces even watered-down their pro
posal until it required the dele
gates to do all they could to get
the convention's nominees on
the ballot and that insofar as
state rules and state party regu
lations permitted.
But the three states refused to
sign and the convention seated'
them anyway.
Sudden Switch
Friday night and early Satur
day, in a suden switch, Harri
man threw the big New York
delegation to Stevenson and it
was all over. By that time, Presi
dent Truman was in town and
in an inn right next door to the
convention hall.
But with the fighting all be
hind them, Democratic leaders
hoped they finally had a united
party.
They noted that Sparkman
was the first Southerner to be
named on a national ticket since
1936 when former Vice Presi
dent John N. Garner was the
late President Roosevelt's run
ning mate. In 1940, Garner was
tossed aside for Henry A. Wal
lace. BULLETIN
