I ulioSloOB dllA
Mr.. Truman had been the underdog
of the convention, contemptuously
kicked around by the delegations.
1t was fun to see him spring to the
attack line, an angry terrier
The man not only was telling of
the Republicans, but also the doubt
ers and traitors there before him.
They'd see who was going to win,
and how! And he was doing 1t in
unaccustomed language, right off
the street, and out Of the side of his
mouth. For few moments there
was the tension Of prize ring,
when the little fellow scrambles to
his feet on the ninth count and
packs an unexpected punch.
Doves and No Peace.
But afterward, in the wan dawn,
as we ate supper that was break
fast, the performance came back
bringing a bitter taste which was
not due to excruciating weariness.
The 48 whirling pigeons ("doves"
let loose to herald peace for all
time') and the roars of laughter
that went up as they beat their
wings against the electric fans,
which had to be turned off, and.
blinded by the klieg lights, plunged
into ladies' hats, causing feminine
shrieks and hale snickers-had that
cheap peace stunt really happened?
And how would it read in Pravda?
The headlines Of the papers did
not report peace. Cairo had been
bombed. Togliatti had been shot.
In Berlin the beleaguered Amer
I ican, British and French forces sat
with 100000 Germans fed not by
doves but by Gen. Clays steel
pigeons" And there were reports
of Soviet yaks assembling and Of
Soviet maneuvers in the air corridor.
What did it all add up to? The
Czech coup? The Masaryk suicide?
The Communist purgings? The
Wallace candidacy? The with
drawal OF Gromyko? The rift with
Yugoslavia? What did Tito refuse
to do, one asked oneself? Could 1t
not be that he refused to fall in
with war plans?
In this framework one recalled
the Presidents speech. and it no
longer was a good show. The Presi-
dent had thrown the election fight
into Congress, to stage on the floor
of the Nations highest deliberative
bodies a bitterly partisan struggle.
docs the President know that they
= are "deliberative"? Can men de-
= liberate with a gun at their chestsO
He had aroused the South as 1t has
not been aroused since reconstruc-
ton days. He had appealed to
every divisive element in this turbu-
lent democracy-racial and class. He
had summoned fears and discon-
tents in the last wen-fed and half
way normal Nation in the world.
Risked National Unity.
He had risked national unity In
foreign policy.
Mr.. Truman is President for an
other half year. In the convention
he proved that he would rather be-
come President in November than
be it now.
The strategy was sound enough
for other. more secure times. But
Mr.. Truman is President now-in
this fateful. desperate summer
when We must all hang together,
not for the Right or the Left, for
party or for class. but for each
other, for our homes, our civiliza.

Drive for Young Voters
Stassen Important to G. O.P. Campaign
Because of His Hold on Veterans

But both are young men, one not
quite on top yet and the other by
no means resigned to private life.
Neither can afford the luxury now
of feud.
Mr.. Stassen took a bad beating at
Philadelphia in the public view and
a worse ,one behind the scenes.
Personal loyalty and the high cali
ber of his associates prevented the
latter from becoming well known,
but actually one Stassen lieutenant,
Victor johnson, who managed his
Wisconsin triumph, quietly quilted
Philadelphia before the convention
ended.
1t is understood that Mr.. johnson,
an old hand at practical politics,
disagreed with the high-powered
methods of the West Coast ad-
vertising man, Ted Gamble, who
was put in charge at Philadelphia
by Mr. Stassen. Mr.. Gamble pro-
duced some ornate effects plus the
longest and most glamorous demon
stration Of the convention; Mr..
johnson contended that the votes
lay in the quiet cultivation of
smoke-filled rooms.
Shock Over Footsie Game.
Some of the Stassen followers
also experienced a slight sense of
shock over Mr.. Stassen's footsie
game with Col. Mccormick, the
Chicago isolationist. The Stassen
version is that he dined with the
colonel to warn him that Gov.
Green of Illinois. the convention
keynoter, was breaking away to Gov.
Dewey, although the colonel's
avowed favorite was Senator Taft.
The colonel responded by coming
out for q Taft-Stassen ticket. This
pulled the rug from under Gov.
Green, who was forced further to
advertise his humiliation by an
nouncing Illinois 40 votes for SEN
ator Taft on all ballots. But it also
confused the Stassen liberals in
other delegations.
Mr.. Stassen has been offered the
presidency of the University Of
Pennsylvania; many of his asso-
ciates think 1t is the most suitable
thing he can do. He has had
lucrative business offers also. 1t Is
understood that he feels that he

and refuse to yield to the Russian
squeeze the whole Of Western
Europe will fall into Soviet hands
before winter.
Others survey the extremely linn
tied military potential of the West
ern European countries and our own
lamentable state of unpreparedness
and express the belief that a mid
dle-o -of-the-road policy would be ad-
visable right now. at least so long
as the Russians do not commit any
overt act.
Aware of Implications.
Those who counsel a strong policy
on the ground that it Is now too
late to do anything else-are fully
aware of its Implications. They say
that so long as the administrations
policy is to stay in Europe any
weakening would cause us to lose
face. 1t is pointed out that if we
yielded on Berlin we would be COM
PEELED to yield on the rest Of Ger
many, too.
The middle of he-roaders believe
that eventually we will be able to
throw the whole dispute into the
United Nations and leave to that
organization the task OF taking
whatever decision might be advis-
able. such as a blockade Of Russia
or other similar steps.
These diplomats insist that we
are pledged to collective action in
event a major dispute arises and
our record would be clear before the
bar of history If we do not precipi-
tate a crisis by our own action. They
realize that the U. N. has ro means
of coercing a power such as Russia,
which in the past has demonstrated
its contempt for any constructive
action by the U. N.
American diplomats also are wor-
ried about the French attitude. So

Slowly Going Batty.
I am working-a journalist never
has real vacation, you know; he
must always lug that typewriter
around-I am working in a room
that overlooks the River Shannon,
and I am slowly going batty.
Know why? I can't remember how
that song Where the River Shan
non Flows goes. Every time I try
to sing it I wind up with either
Did Your Mother Come From Ire
land?" or when Irish Eyes Are
Smiling" I used to know 1t as a
youngster, and I know that some
where in its lyrics there is some
thing about where the three-leaf
shamrock grows" But I can't put
it together.
The Irish themselves have been
no help. I have asked Foleys and
IO'Connors and O'-everything- -else
how the song went, but none had
ever heard of it. They were
familiar with Mature Boy" and
that Bongo-bongo-let- e-live-in-
the Congo thing, but the song about
the flowing of the Shannon left
them cold. They admitted to hav-
ing fisped in it for salmon and
trout, bathed in 1t, canoed on top of
1t, but all denied ever having sung
about 1t.
Trying to get my mind off the
song, I went out and walked through
the streets of Limerick. I thought
that perhaps to listen to few Pat
and Mike jokes would clear my head
and put me at rest But again I
was doomed to disappointment.
They don't know Pat and Mike
stories over here. The home Of
Pat and Mike jokes is America. I

in a quiet, dimly lighted, oak
beamed orange juice stand I held
an audience of Irishmen spellbound
with yarns about those two undying
fellows, Pat and Mike.
Toasted With Orange Juice.
BY the end of the evening I was
q very popular fellow, indeed. The
men of Limerick toasted me with
double orange juices. They voted
me life member of a football club,
and one chap went so far as to
suggest that I be made a member
of the Irish Olympic team. I don't

Top Level Conferences Held Here Daily
On Explosive Situation in Europe

the diplomatic representations made
to Russia two weeks ago. But from
reports which are being received in
Washington 1t Is highly doubtful
whether the French will go further
The Partisan press already is
pointing the way for French policy
when it calls for four power con-
ference as soon as possible to deal
with the whole German problem,
despite the fact that in its protest
to Russia the French government
Joined Washington and London in
demanding that the Russians lift
their restrictions from the Allied
sectors OF Berlin before such con-
ference is agreed to.
According to information received
in Washington, the present cabinet
crisis growing out of the resignation
of the Schuman government is not
due to any internal difficulties, but
to the desire of the French govern
ment to hand over power to a new
regime which would not be as ex-
tensively pledged to collaboration
with America and Britain as the
Schuman government was.
Tension in France.
Tension and fear of war are
greater in France than In Berlin.
French politicians. with the possible
exception of Gen. Charles de Gaulle,
are more concerned with securing
their own political positions than
with meeting the overall problem
of Western Europe. They also ap-
pear to fear Germany more than
they do the U. S. S. r.
When some members Of Army
Undersecretary Drapers mission to
Germany suggested in yelled terms
that 1t might be desirable to organ
ize a German force in the western
occupation zones as first line OF
defense against Russia, there was
a howl of protest from the French
officials.
It is natural that the French, who
have been invaded twice in less than
quarter century, should have such
feelings about the Germans. But
those who look realistically at the
situation should understand that
Western Germany, which conceiv-
ably might enter a federation with
other Western European states,
could be used successfully against
the Russians. In any event. 1t would
be better to use German manpower
to withstand the first force of the
Soviet attack and spare as many
American, British and French lives
as possible.
These arguments fell on deaf ears
in Paris, however, because, it was
said, no French politician could stay
in Office If he agreed to such a
proposition. These are the consid-
erations which prompt some of
President Truman's diplomatic ad-
visers to urge him to act gingerly
in Berlin.

On the Record
Truman Seen Risking National Unity
By Partisan Campaign Strategy

That is what matters. Not what
particular man sits in the White
House, but what kind of Nation he
governs-whether 1t is united, af-
fectionate, stronghearted, devoted
and of good faith. If the national
spirit is healthy, no adventurous
risk will be taken by our enemies
But if we are bitterly rent asunder,
1t certainly will be.
And If Mr.. Truman does not know
that, he is not fit to be President OF
the American people.
