Convention Attendance Cut
By
By ALICIA RUHL . .
Chicago, July 24 (By Air
Mail) Convention hall attend
ance during these early days of
the Democratic shindig would
indicate that public interest is
mild. But this may be partly due
to the discovery that proceed
ings can be covered with less
confusion and far more comfort
from an easy chair in front of
a television set even the press
have become, whenever possi
ble, easy-chair oracles.
The murderous Chicago heat,
which has intensified the al
ready unpleasant stockyard at
mosphere, has doubtless done
much to strengthen this trend,
and then too the real business
of the convention is conducted
in various conference and com
mittee rooms in downtown
hotels.
Thus the credentials commit
tee, meeting in the Conrad Hil
ton hotel, 'has become almost as
much a source of interest as was
the credentials committee of the
Republican convention. For the
real crux of this convention is
not so much which candidate it
will choose as how it will solve
the issues of states' rights, civil
rights, and party loyalty in such
a way as to avoid an open break
between the dissident Dixiecrats
and the loyal Trumanites.
For the first time in 20 years
the Democratic party is in real
trouble and it knows it. The
grim determination with which
both factions struggle to reach
a compromise which will avoid
a bolt on the one hand and an
expulsion on the other is mute
testimony to the critical position
In which the party finds itself.
No one wants to take the
chance of losing the Southern
vote, including the Southern
Democrats themselves. On' the
other hand, the Dixiecrats are
hanged if they will allow them
selves to be dictated to; the Tru
manites are equally hanged if
they will allow the Dixiecrats
to slit the party's throat behind
its back.
This has been the root of a
good deal of labored maneuver
ing, with certain delegates try
ing to force a clear-cut New
Deal issue letting the Southern
states fall where they may
with certain Southern leaders
refusing angrily to sign any
thing, but also refusing to bolt,
and with various delegates try
ing to find a formula acceptable
to all.
The New Deal element started
out with a bang on Monday by
suecrpstine that all delegations
be required to sign a so-called
"loyalty pledge," designea to
nrpvent the southern delegations
from deleting the names of the
convention nominees from tneir
state ballots. Actually the lan
enaee of the rjledee was mild
but the reaction of the South
was so violent that the original
sponsors began backtracking,
and a small group including
Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr. at-
tpmnted to soften it down by
aridinsr a nroviso making it clear
that no delegate would be bound
by any convention decisions
which contravened his own siaxe
or state convention laws.
Th nlenarv sessions of the
onnvpntion were more or less
treading water waiting for the
report of the credentials com
mittee which was tied up in a
onntect between Truman and
Dixiecrat factions in Texas and
Mississippi. The resolutions com
mittee had alreadv finished its
work and was ready to report.
It was therefore in the creden
tials committee that Roosevelt
and his two associates planned
to introduce their compromise
proviso.
W W
Oettinz into the credentials
committee was simply a matter
of walking in. Contrary to the
Republican version, where
press passes were carefully
checked, the attitude of the
nemorrats was casual in the ex
treme. The only difficulty was
that the room was small and
very full and it was hard to find
a vantage point in the forest of
camera tripods and television
equipment.
Only by standing on a chair
at the rear of the, room could
one get a good view of the dele
gates and obviously very tired
committee officials. Roosevelt
waited until a vote had been
taken to seat the Dixiecrat fac
tions before he explained his
plan to the committee.
Facing the Committee, slump
ing slightly, smoking incessant
ly, his long flexible eyebrows
arching up into his forehead
from time to time, this fledgling
son of a famous politician show
ed little of the finesse and cajol
ery which made his father so ir
resistable. He is very personable look
ing with a smile like "the dawn
coming up like thunder." but
his method was clearly the di
he was too tired for anything
rect frontal assault probably
else and he ended up by rea
soning the committee into fol
lowing his scheme rather than
by charming them into it. Some
had different ideas on the draft
ing; Franklin was not imoressed.
"Now, Johnathan," said he,
"you're a publisher and doubt

less you know; your grammar,
but I'm a lawyer and I kncrw
you can't change . a resolution
already adopted by "the conven
tion." '.
"I'm a lawyer too," answered
Johnathan annoyingly, "and any
way you're trying to change the
resolution too."
Franklin pointed out that he
was merely suggesting a proviso
and not touching the original
resolution, and , made it clear
that any attempt to rearrange
the wording would give an op
portunity for a floor fight which
was what they were trying to
avoid at all costs. He made his
point; the compromise proviso
was adopted by the committee
and incorporated in its report,
e
No one quite forsees how the
compromise is going to work
out. All southern delegations ex
cept three have agreed to sign,
but, Virginia, South Carolina and
Louisiana are still ruffled and
defiant. They will not sign, they
say, but neither will they bolt.
If the convention wants to force
them out they can do so, they
suppose, by using the same
strong arme methods they have
been using up to now.
Should they stick to their
guns, as seems probable, no one
quite forsees the parliamentary
procedure from there on in
Minnesota has indicated she will
challenge them on a point of
order. This will leave it up to
the chairman to rule on whether
they can participate in debate
or in the vote.
The chair clearly has no in
clination to be so put on the spot
and it is probable that an at
tempt will be made to ignore
the issue as long as possible.
Ultimately, of course, a test must
come in the first ballot, if not
before.
In the meantime the presi
dential race intensifies. A coal
ition between Harriman and Ke-
fauver possibly also Russell-
has been rumored formed for
the purpose of. undercutting the
Stevenson boom before it takes
the convention by storm.
Candidate Kefauver precipi
tated one . of these not-entirely-
spontaneous demonstrations by
entering the convention hall this
afternoon and taking a con.Dic-
uous seat in the gallery. Doubt
less fresh from a donkey ride,
he looked unruffled as usual
and had brought his aged daddy
along to take a bow with him.
Daddy rose uncertainly to his
feet under the gentle insistence
of his son and allowed his arm
to be waved. ' '
"For heaven's sake," he seem
ed to be asking, "what's all this
about?" Kefauver shrugged his
shoulders and probably answer
ed, "It's nonsense, Daddy, but
it's necessary."
There is something appealing
about the tall Tennesseean-
possibly it is the complete ab
sence of any personal, egotism,
or his manner of delving into
the ridiculous, not as if it were
native to him or in any way
touched him, but matter-of-fact-
ly as if it were all in the days
work. - '
The ovation, doubtless intend
ed to remind the convention that
Stevenson was not the only pop
ular guy, outstripped any pre
ceding one-. In fact, it seems to
be a natural law of conventions
that no self-respecting' demon
stration would be seen dead tak
ing up less time than those
which have come before.
Parks Draw Many ;
Overnight Campers
Salem More than 3,600 peo
ple took advantage of overnight
camping privileges in Oregon
state parks during June, accord
ing to C. H. Armstrong, parks
superintendent. Only 1,545
stayed in the parks overnight in
May.
The biggest increase was at
Armitage park on the McKenzie
river. Eight persons in two cars
staved there in May. In June
there were 22 cars and 106
campers. :
Four other state parks Emi
erant Serines park in Union
county, Humbug Mountain park
on the coast, Silver. Falls park

Matter of Fact
THEY THINK THEY'LL WIN
Chicago As these words are
written, the ritual clamor of the
nominating speeches fills the
Convention hall. Perhaps this is
a good time, before the final
outcome, to note an extremely
significant fact. The Democrats
think they will win this election.
In a queer way, the Demo
cratic atmosphere this time is
reminiscent of the Republican
atmosphere in 1948. There is the
same assurance, the same bland
disregard of the common mis
chance and misfortunes of poli
tics. There is also the same ten
dency, one must add, to under
rate the opposition.
IN 1948, the Republicans
thought any Chinaman could
lick Truman, and the great argu
ment was about which Chinaman
would receive the assignment.
In the same fashion among the
Democrats here in Chicago in
1952, only a very few wise and
seasoned operators seem to be
able to bear in mind the great
popular strength and potent per
sonality of Gen. Dwight D. Ei
senhower. The rest of these Democrats
remember only that they over
estimated the general's cam
paigning magic in the days be
fore Abilene. They now appear
to count on him to spend the en
tire election campaign with his
foot in his mouth,, talking, so to
speak, through his toes. In the
humble opinion of these report
ers, this is a mood and these are
expectations dangerous to any
party.
None the less, the Democratic
confidence of victory has great
ly helped so far. It is the real
explanation . of the. rather suc
cessful compromise of the civil
rights issue which has been ar
ranged here. It was something
of a triumph for the Democrats
to bring everyone but the Vir
ginians, Louisianans and South
Carolinians into the same corral.
t m .
"DEFORE the convention open-
" ed, there was far more bit
terness and far more belligeren
cy, both in North and South,
than there was four years ago.
ihe Northern civil rights advo
cates were all but readv to exnel
the South from the party, be
cause of the record of the South
erners in the . conservative co
alition in Congress. By the same
token, the Southerners, filled
with hatred of President Tru
man, were all but prepared to
take a walk.
When thev all eot together
here, however, thev found that
they were bound together by un
expectedly strong ties of com
mon interest, if they had thuoght
the election was koine to so
against them both sides would
have kept at each others'
throats. The temptation to in
dulge their real feelings would
have been too strone. Instead.
with all the fruits of victory
piled up, as it were, upon the
table in the platform committee
room, both sides restrained their
emotions lest the hoped-for feast
be snatched away from them.
The true atmsophere was typi
fied by an incident early in the
haggling, when Gov. Allen Shiv
ers of Texas leaned across the
table to Sen. Herbert Lehman
of New York, and said, "You
fellows have got to help us." To
this Lehman replied, "Well, you
fellows have got to help us, too."
This spirit, plus the intervention
of President. Truman to prevent
an open breal" over the loyalty
rule, produced the eventual
ratner peaceful result. ;

point.' Although the Democratic
party has grown pretty old and
pretty riddled in 20 years of of
fice, it has still managed to look
more vigorous, at least on the
surface, than the Republican
party.
Certainly this is mainly be
cause the old guardsmen con
trolled the Republican arrange
ments. Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy
was the most important political
newcomer the old guard sum
moned to the Republican podi
urn. With almost no exceptions
the old guard orators struck only"
three notes nostalgia for the
past, hatred of the present, and
uneasy fear of the future. And
the Republican rank and file,
although they nominated Gen,
Eisenhower, seemed to think that
the embittered oratory they
were hearing was just the stuff
to feed the troops.
nnHE Democrats do not suffer
from any of the Republican
neuroses, deep as their sectional
division undoubtedly . is. These
people here . are an extraordi
nary mixture and cross-section.
But almost all of them appear to
enjoy and approve the official
Democratic boastine and oDtim-
ism, which are as fake in their
way as the venomous Republican
partisanship and pessimism. Al
most all of these Democrats,
moreover, will fight - hard and
hopefully to elect their candi
date. Altogether, with Gen. Eisen
hower both' leading and symbol
izing a revivified and reformed
Republican party, and with the
Democrats in this vigorous and
combative mood, the election
ahead should be one of the most
stirring this country has seen.

Editorial Comment
AID TO RECREATION
The Oregon Game commission
deserves praise for taking, steps
to solve the problem of public
access to fishing waters.
Most significant advance made
in this field to date is the proj
ect involving .the Rogue river.
That river has been controlled
largely by private individuals,
red for the most part by prop
erty owners except where land
adjacent to the river is national
forest.
Access sites to be acquired by
the commission will - consist of
river frontage tracts containing
from one to 100 acres. Space will
be provided for roads, bank fish
ing, boat ramps and . parking
areas. '
Cost of the , project is esti
mated at $35,000. It will be fi
nanced by the federal tax on
sports angling gear, under the
D i n g 1 e-Johnson act involving
distribution of - funds to the
states for improvement of sports
angling.
Oregon can use more of these
projects. And it can use more of
the educational effort now being
tried on the Deschutes river at
Kloan in Wasco county, where
the commission has posted signs
reminding anglers that RE

first requirement in the confirm
ued enjoyment of . outdoor rec
reation. " "" .

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Oratory is a weird and won
derful thing. When Texas Sam
Rayburn concluded his silver
tongued masterpiece the other
night, I was about ready to
throw in the sponge . and. con
cede the election.
But a strange thing happened.
With my brain cells no longer
held in thrall by the magic of
his forensics, REASON reassert
ed itself. What about the mink
coats, I said in this newer and
saner mood. And the Lamar
Caudles. And all the rest of the
disgusting and disillusioning
consequences of too much pow
er held in too few hands too
long.
ND what about Kefauver?
Wasn't he the young Demo
crat who refused to be muzzled
by the warnings to lay off that
stuff and not besmirch the
party that put him in office?
Didn't he go ahead with his in
vestigation and with the aid of
the new magic of television
AROUSE THE PEOPLE to their
first horrified realization of
what happens when too much
power is held in too few hands
too long?
What happened to him?
Why, I said to myself, it was
Kefauver who saved the face of
the Democratic, party by drag
ging out AS A DEMOCRAT all
the muck and the stench, thus
proving that all Democrats
AREN'T carpetbaggers and
thimbleriggers. To that extent,
he shored up our faith in the
basic Tightness of our country.
rpHEN came the most stunning
thought of all:
It is THIS CONVENTION
(which has just . finished cheer
ing itself hoarse over Sam Ray-
burn's touching picture of the
purity and sweetness of the
Democratic party) that has been
SMACKING KEFAUVER
DOWN and getting ready to
draft a substitute to beat him at
any cost.
Why
. Did the big bosses in the big
boss-ridden cities that are the
CORE of the Democratic party's
voting strength TURN THUMBS
DOWN on Kefauver because
they FEAR him? Did they say to
themselves: "We can't have this
upstart bossing our show. He'd
SPOIL OUR RACKETS!"
BALD, kindly old Sam's voice
shook with emotion when
he spoke of the PEOPLE and
the Democratic party's devotion
to them. But it was the PEOPLE
who backed Kefauver. They did
it in every primary where they
were given half a chance.
He has been given the bum s
rush in this CONVENTION.
HOW about Barkley, the kind-
annH-stnnr-tellinff nM Veen?
It has been said repeatedly in
print, which, of course, doesn't
insure its accuracy) that Presi
dent Truman himself was pre
paring to back him for the nom
ination. But a couple of BIG labor
leaders said flatly: "He's OUT!
We won't stand for him." That
cooked Barkley's goose.
THEY softened. ft a little by
saying he's too old. Maybe
he IS old. But I'd say it is the
business of the CONVENTION
AS A WHOLE to say whether
or not a candidate is too old.
POOR old Alben. He was a
tragic . figure as he stood
there on the rostrum that night
with the ashes of his dream ly
ing about him.
But he was a good soldier. A
couple of big labor leaders had
said he couldn't be president. He
knew the jig was up. He recog
nized the master's voice, and
didn't fight back.
He. took his medicine.
DON'T get . me wrong. Labor
has as much right as any
body else to have, its say and
speak its piece. That s America.
But when TWO big labor lead
ers in a convention of 1230-odd
delegates can VETO the right of
the vice-president of the United
States to run for president of the
United States it's too much pow
er in too few hands. Too much
power in too few hands too long
coming months.
The problem also has an im
portant economic aspect. Except
for scenery and Celilo falls (dur
ing the Indian salmon fishing
season) The Dalles area offers
relatively little ' as a tourist at
traction. Keeping the tourist here
for a day or two is just as im
partant as getting him to use the
gorge route west in the first
place. And existence of recrea
tional opportunities in itself is a
potent lure to the traveler.

Pope s Appeal To Russians
To Resist Communism Tops
Good News During the Week
BY HOMER JENKS
United Press Correspondent
' Balance sheet for the week be
tween good and bad news in the
hot and cold wars:
GOOD NEWS
1 1 Pope Pius XII addressed
an unprecedented appeal to the
Russian people to resist "if
necessary unto death" atheistic
and materialistic Communism.
The Pope's appeal, believed
without parallel in the history
of the Roman Catholic Church,
was contained in an apostolic
letter broadcast by the Vatican
Radio to the Soviet Union and
its Eastern European satellites.
The Pontiff called upon the
Christian faithful in Russia to
"resist with fearless fortitude
the assaults of the impious.'
Clark's Interview Second
2 Gen. Mark W.. Clark, su
preme United Nations command
er for Korea, said in an inter
view that the Communists could
not sustain a major offensive in
Korea for more than two or
three weeks despite their huge
buildup in manpower and sup
plies during the armistice nego
tiations. H e estimated Red
strength at nearly 1,000,000
troops and 1,000 to 2,000 planes.
Clark also disclosed that South
Korean troops have been re
trained during the past year into
hard - hitting, efficient divis
ions."
3 U. S. Navy carrier-based
jet planes demonstrated the ease
with which they could hit Chi
nese- Communist coastal ports
and bases should China extend
the Korean war. More than 100
American jets flew parallel to
the coast "just outside" the three-
mile limit of Chinese territorial
waters during naval maneuvers.
A spokesman for Pacific Fleet
Commander Adm. Arthur W.
Radford said the demonstration
was designed "to give the Com
munists something to think
about."
BAD NEWS
1 United Nations and Com
munist truce negotiators gave up
their attempt to settle in closed
sessions the last issue blocking
a Korean- cease-fire-forcible vs.
voluntary repatriation of war
prisoners. The closed sessions
began July 4 at request of the
Reds, and the news blackout
finally was lifted today, also at
the Communists' suggestion. The
net result of the 18 closed ses
sions was nil. Open meetings
will be resumed Saturday.
2 Prospects for settlement of
the Anglo-Iranian oil dispute
is ALWAYS dangerous.
AFTER ALL, Wednesday
night was a wonderful night.
The air waves twanged and vi
brated with red white and blue
oratory. It was TOP FLIGHT
oratory. You can't ever hope to
hear better anywhere in the-
world. As orators, Democrats
are ne plus ultra, par excellence,
sans peur et sans reproche. In
the field of campaign oratory,
whose horizons are the wide
blue yonder, they have it over
us Republicans like a tent.
But, even after last night,
when I thrilled and chilled and
shivered along with everybody
else to the sonorous cadences
that shook the rafters of the
auditorium there in Chicago. I
kept going back to the state of
mind of the man who coined the
phrase that named Missouri the
"show me" state.
He was Willard Duncan Van-
diver, an ex-naval officer who
became a congressman, and at
a SDeech-laden banquet in Phil
adelphia he got . up and made
this crack:
"I come from a state that
raises corn aid cotton and
cockleburs and Democrats, and
frothy eloquence NEITHER
CONVINCES NOR SATISFIES
ME.
"I come from Missouri, and
you've got to SHOW ME."
ALL the star-spangled oratory
of last night in Chicago fail
ed to show me that the Demo
cratic party, as now ruled and
run, should be returned to pow
er this November.
I STILL think it has held too
much power in too few hands
too long.

who had vowed to settle the oil

At the same time, the World
Court declared itself without
jurisdiction to act on Britain's
complaint against Iran for con
fiscating Iranian properties of
the British-owned Anglo-Iranian

3 Left-wing followers of An
eurin Bevan, who wants to cut
Britain's close defense and eco

increasing strength in their
fight to gain control of the Brit

resolutions on rearmament sub
mitted by the party rank-and-file
for action at the annual party
