GRAPEVINE Details.
Mr.. Bricker created real excite
ment as the Washington grapevine
swiftly filled in every detail of his
Gridiron dinner flop. These dinners
are affairs which have taken the
measure OF many public men and
the verdict on the unfortunate dar-
ling of the Old Guard Republicans
is severe. It has been the topic Ct
adverse notice on Nationwide
radio hookup and will unquestion-
ably cost him plenty, If not, indeed,
the nomination.
The principal Indictment is that
he affronted good taste and sports
manship by personally haunting
President Truman about the Demo-
cratic defeat and Mr.. Truman's fail
ure to make an appearance in the
campaign. He also derided the
President for losing his own State
of Missouri. A long finale of plati-
tudes about the glories of the Re-
publican Party did not make the
dish any more palatable.
1t is not too much to say that
many guests were shocked by this
insensitive handling of the Presi-
dent. In contrast, Mr.. Truman was
at his best, felicitous, good tempered
and a thorough sportsman. One
Democratic politician commented

Senate to give him two coveted
posts-President pro tenn and chair
man of the Foreign Relations COM
mittee. The first would make him
q sort of titular party leader and
keep his name continually before
the public. The second would as
sociate him, more than any other
member Of the party, with the one
national policy now most popular
with the people, the Byrnes for
eign policy. This policy already
has come to be called the Byrnes-
vandenberg policy, or even. by GER
tain opponents, the Vandenberg pol
Icy.
Coming Cat Fight.
Senator Vandenberg is content to
have it that way, or at least so
long as the policy enjoys its pres
ent esteem. If it should blow up
or if some one like Henry Wallace
should win the people away, from
1t, Mr.. Vandenberg would still be
free, il he so desired. to walk OF
and leave it in the Democratic ad-
ministration's hands. Not meaning,
of course, to suggest that he would
do such thing or to reduce by q
single percentage point his warm in
dorsement of the Secretary OF State.
CT am for him thousand per
cent" he said)
It may offer the national con-
vention an attractive picture at
some stage of the coming Kilkenny
cat fight. The quiet, sure. smiling
statesmen, who knows all about
world affairs, may have a distinct
appeal. For the convention now
seems to be shaping up like the
famous Philadelphia affair out of
which Wendell Willkie emerged with
the nomination, leaving a lot OF
broken hearts to be repaired.
Gov. Dewey still has the nomina-
ton won in the Gallup polls, but
nobody claims a majority Of the
unpicked delegates for him. He has
a fighting organization and is not
exactly idle in his own behalf.
Senator Taft, asked down in Geor-
gia If ehe could be considered an
active candidate, said, mo" But he
must have known that he would
not be taken too seriously, particu-
1arly in that section, since it Is
generally agreed that Mr.. Taft's
friends have been seeking, with a
good deal of success, to tie up the
Southern delegations again. All this
presupposes that Senator Bricker.
his Ohio colleague, will yield the
home State delegation to Mr.. Taft.
In the light of Mr.. Bricker's open
ambition that could seem to be a
violent presupposition. Mr.. Taft's
hackers count on few months in
the Senate to shrink the Bricker
pretensions down to their proper
size.
Taft's Real Danger.
Mr.. Taft's real danger lies in his
active Senate leadership in domestic
issues. He is bound to be right in
the middle of any battles that occur
over labor, for example, and taxes.
It is possible to lose friends on those
issues. His spot will have none
of the safety that characterizes the
place Senator Vandenberg has
chosen.
There remains the Willkie of the
1s4S gathering-young Harold E.
Stassen, former Minnesota Cover
nor. The parallel with 194o is almost
perfect. He has announced that
he's after the nomination and no
nonsense about it. He has strong
financial backing-listen presently
for illusions to another Barefoot
Boy of Wall Street-and he already
is running second to Coy. Dewey
in the Gallup polls.
