WASHINGTON UFI Sometimes,
walking around in broad daylight,
the little man felt it was 4 o'clock
in the morning, still dark outside,

come and clear things up.
It was an unreal feeling. It made
him fuzzy in the head. He always
felt all right when he could figure
two and two make four, particu

at the same time that two and two
make lour. He was trying to tell
himself: I feel all right when I
can follow the rule book.
But now, somehow, everything
aeemed at sixes and sevens. Too
many big things were happening
for him to keep them all clear in
his head and some of the old rules
weren't any good any more. They
seemed out of date. Like war. War

Only Thursday Gen. Matthew B.
Ridgway, fresh from running the
war in Korea, told Congress fur
ther bargaining is out of the ques

is up to the Communists.
For 10 months Ridgway's men
have been talking truce with the
Communists and now, Ridgway
seemed to be saying, there was
not much left to talk about but
both sides might keep talking be
cause neither seemed at this min

war going again.
To the little man this was a
strange war, not at all like the
old-time -wars. But Ridgway was

Local leaders raised 150.000 to
finance the committee's eflort to

At first some businessmen held
back, saying, "why should we help
get new firms here that will com

But they soon decided they didn't
want to oe part oi a dying com

There wasn t anybody to sell

recalled Frank S. Smith, utilities
executive who headed the commit
tee. "We couldn't afford Just to sit
back and wait for the right guy to

"And one of our handicaps was
that we were known as 'that place
where the prison Is.'"
FORLORN
Smith will never forget his first
insoectlon tour of the vacated tl
plant facilities, which had become
run down.
'I know of nothing more forlorn
than an abandoned plant," he said.
'In the damp and cold of 800,000

corners and crannies could be
given again to Industry In return
for Jobs ana a payroll.
But tne committee swung mo
action. BParkplugged by Smith and
Karl A. Adams, head of the cham
ber commerce nere, it contacted
scores of outside manuiaciurers,
hundreds of industrial realty deal
ers. Resolutely the committee avoided
the temptation of selling space to
fly-by-nlght small concerns that
paid small wages; stubborn ly
fought to get tne kina oi urms
wanted.
The expansion drive has paid.
General Electric has built a new
plant here. A laundry machinary
lirm took over much of the old,
abandoned plant and spent millions
to renovate It. Three other indus
tries have located here. Railroad
freight trafflo Is higher than ever.
VICTORY NEWS
In a recent victory dinner Smith
announced that the new firms were
hiring 1.800 workers, more than re-
nlaclng the lost 1.600 jobs, and that
tncy naa a potential oi i.uuu jnon

to 614.000.000.
When the development committee
attempted to return 11,000 remain

fund, most contributors said, "keep
the money and continue your
work."
Smith gave this summary of

Threa-tourtha of the delegates to
the July 1 OOP national conven
tion have now been chosen. Though
the totals recorded for Senator
Taft and General Elsenhower shut
almost dally, oarelul projection ol
remaining selections indlcatea both
will tench Chicago with blocks ol
from 426 to ,&0U. Nomination re
14 u Ufa tU4.
The calculations suggest Taft In
likely to have the higher figure
of the two" candidates, but not a
wide margin over Elsenhower.
Neither top candidate aeems des
tined to get really close to the
maglo 604 In advance ol the con
vention assembly. Unforeseen de
velopment could upset this out
look. No one can accurately foresre
what the -effect on delegates will
be when Elsenhower returns from
Europe next monih. He might
vastly boost his stock, or be might
hurt himself.
But If nothing does nullify the
present figuring. It means that the
nomination will actually be de
termined on the Chicago scene.
Aside .front delegates openly
committed to the two lcadi-ra,
there Is a present prospect that
some 300 will come to Chicago
either pledged to other men like
Governor .Warren and Harold Sin-.-sen,
or uncommitted to any candi
date. This floating group will be
the prize In the great tug ol war.
LKAMNO .
Some of the uncommitted
already lean pretty strongly one
way or the other. Some belong to
big delegations like Pennsylvania's
where Governor Fine Is trying
earnestly to pick the winning
horse. A good many In this cate
gory could get off the fence in
the final days before convention.
Delegations often caucus en route
to the convention city, or shortly
after they arrive.
A marked trend In convention
eve maneuvers of that sort could
virtually end It all before the
gavel falls. But If these leave the
Issue still unsettled, then a totally
different factor enters the picture.
According to current predictions.
