II swrned to me that he knew what bt was talking about, Uial he anoka with deen a ncrruy ana ciin Mellon and Uial he WROTE THE Listening to him. It appeared to m tnat lie nan no mauve ouicr than arousing hla fellow cltlteiu to the gravity ol their altuatlon and their need lor better, aoundcr lead ership, ; That Is what a "keynote" apeak er al a political convention It lor, A word la In order here about Ike'a "victory" yesterday alter noon. Here la what happened: The convention llaell decided (on an appeal to the Moor) that Be ol the 91 oonlealcd delegates, moat ol them Tail men, can not voto on eating conteala until their own con tents are deolded. In effect, that action forbade a CONTESTED del egate to vole for hlmaelf or lor any other contested delegate until bla own alalua haa been decided. ThlM la the point: The action that wai taken waa OPPOSED by the Tail forces. II waa FAVORED by the Elsenhower people. Tlie Elsenhower contention waa upheld by 64 MORE THAN A MAJORITY of all the delegatea. It amounted to what U termed TEST vote. Buch voles come . often In congreaa on minor amend ' menta to Important bllla. These mtiior amendmenta may not In themselves be ol great Importance, but the way the members divide en them Is ant to forecast th way the voting will go on the bill when 11 reaches the point ol final action. Bo far, the Tall forces have held control of the Important commit toe. Including the coninillteea that pas on delegate contests, but yea terday'a vol Indicates that In the pinches they can't control the con vention Iteelf. Therein Ilea the significance of yesterday's vote. II haa been known all along that Senator Tail, who alartrd early, would come Into the convention with more pledged delegatea than Oentral JSIaenhower. who atarted late. Bui at no time haa Senator Tail's pledged and nslled-down to tal ol delegates approached the (04 necessary to nominal on the flral ballot. There haa been a twilight tone ol delegates who might go llhtr way Mr. Tall, hoping; to appeal to th more or leas univer sal desire to b on the winning aide, has adopted an altitude of complete confidence with tho Idea ol pulling then band-wagon people vr to hli aide. Th Ike forces, also aware of this fundamental urge to back a win ner, have stressed the contention lhal General Elsenhower will be a far mor certain winner next No vember, hoping that when the last chip go down the desire to nam a winner In November will pull enough wobbly delegatea over to their aide to bring their total of votes up to or past the 604 needed to nominate. Testerdsv'a test vote Indicates that COUI.D happen. That us why It Is significant.

Leaders said all actions were fully agreed on by absent GOP leaders either in advance or by long distance telephone calls. In the House were about 60 Dem ocrats, 7 Republicans; in the Sen ate 11 Democrats and two Repub licans. The House has a total of 435 members (233 Democrats, 201 Republicans, one Independent) and the Senate 96 ( 50 Democrats and 46 Republicans). CONTROVERSY Major controversy centered around the $11,793,776,339 supple mental money bill, which carries $2,898,800,000 for the atomic pro jects, $6,031,947,750 lor loreign aid, and $2,140,000,000 for globe-circling military construction projects. When the Senate and House first deadlocked over the measure, arguing into the early hours Sun day morning, the bill provided only $1,450,000,000 in atomic funds. This was later boosted to two billions by Uie House as a compromise move but administration leaders in the Senate insisted on more. The original bill also contained a rider that many including Uie President interpreted as bar ring the Atomic Energy Commis sion (AEC) from storting any pro jects it didn't have Uie money to complete. RETAIN CURB As finally passed, the spending curb was retained in the bill. But opponents of the rider said its ef fect was offset by the additional $898,000,000 voted Monday for the atomic commission, AEC Chairman Gordon Dean agreed. He wrote Democratic lcuder McFarland of Arteona that "we could proceed (with our pro giom) under a bill which appro priated such a sum ($2,898,800,000 total)." Also resolved was a secondary dispute over a $584,061,600 rivers and harbors and flood control bill which Congress sent to the White House just before it adjourned. Sens. Mnybank (D-SC) and Olin Johnston (D-SC) had threatened to filibuster against it because the House had erased four million dol lars the Senate had approved for the Hartwell Dam on the Savan nah River between South Carolina and Georgia. They dropped their fight, how ever, after the supplemental ap propriation bill was amended to request the AEC to Investigate the importance of the dam to the giant Savannah River atomic plant and submit a report to Uie next session of Congress.

However, the convention got und er way at 10:15 s. m. PDT. BRIDGES Styles Bridges. Reoubllcan lead er in Uie Senate, gave a plea for" unity. He said the GOP must patch up party quarrels or "almost cer tainly go down to defeat in No vember." Taft and Elsenhower themselves were visiting with delegates in their hotels still trying to harv est more support. There were signs that Elsen hower might be chipping; away at Uie delegate strength, Taft baa. counted on. Two New York City delegates. who ' had been supporting Taft, announced they had decided to vote for Eisenhower. Both, sides were wooing Gov. Convention At A Glance.

Taft and Stassen each told ther Calil'ornlans they hoped the party wouia remain united and tnat all factions would work to elect the presidential nominee, whoever he is. Stassen said: "If it should happen that your: governor should receive that magic number 604 (vote required for nomination) I would support hurt and I am confident he would win in November." But Stassen added in the next breath: "I am confident I could win In November." Eisenhower had breakfast with the 26-vote Missouri delegation and, in a little talk, appealed for har mony and for "kicking the Dem ocrats so far November. 4 that it'll take them 20 years to get back."

The 18 Oregon delegates are pledged to Elsenhower and the Oregon vote on the pro-Elsenhower rules change was unanimous.
