 The split in Democratic ranks shown at the party's national con-s' vention in Philadelphia also was reflected in reaction Of the min- ority's Congress members to their chiefs back-to-work proposal.
 They differed as to whether it was wise or unyise political move and whether good would come of it or not.
 MT Truman announced the plan for the special session-the 26th in the history of Congress as he ac- cepted his party's Presidential nomination at Philadelphia last night. Housing and anti-inflation were placed at the top of issues to be considered with civil rights and other recommendations also to come up for consideration.
 Almost without exception Repub- l.can Congress members attributed the step to political motives and the criticism of "cheap politics" came frcm several voicing their views.
 Senator Vandenberg tR-Mich), the President of the Senate who has worked closely with the admins tration on foreign policy, expressed doubts that any good to the coun- try would come of the session.
 This sounds like a vast hys- terical gasp of an expiring admin istration," said Vandenberg Sen ate Foreign Relations Committee chairman. He added that the move obviously stems solely from poli- tical motives"

 Western Powers
By TOM WILLIAMS

LONDON, July 15-tR- The British Cabinet studied for nearly three hours today the Soviet re- fusal to lift the Berlin blockade. An atmosphere of crisis prevailed.
 Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin emerged from the Cabinet meeting at No. 10 Downing Street and went directly to Buckingham Palace to report to the King.
 Anxious crowds waited in the block long street outside Prime Minister Attlee's official residence.
 Foreign Office spokesmen would not comment on the Soviet re- jection oi the British, French and American notes demanding that the Russians end their ground blockade of Berlin.
 In a reply which left the next move up to the Western Powers, the Russians said they were will ing to negotiate if the talks con- cerned all of Germany and not just Berlin. The Western Allies had expressed willingness to talk about Berlin only if the blockade were ended. -.r.-".-n
 Reports in London newspapers that new notes would be sent to Prime Minister Stalin within week were called pure specula tion" by the Foreign Office.
 But it was apparent the Vest ern Powers were already planning their next move Sir William Strang, chief of the Foreign Off ce's German section, was to meet with the American and French Ambassadors, Lewis Douglas and Rene Massigli.

Russians Refuse To Lift Berlin Blockade
PRESIDENT ' STkMpEDES
 CONVENTION
By RELMAN MORN

 The Democrats are airborne now, and they can thank the President for the near-miracle.
 He pulled them off the ground at the very last moment of their convention, after it had been bouncing and laundering along the runways, and seemed certain to come to an ignominous, nose in"the- mud end It probably was the most inept, dreary, shapeless and badly-handled convention in the history of the party-until Harry Truman came along.
 That was at ? o'clock this morning.
 Sweat-SOaked Delegates
 The delegates were tired sweat soaked and bored by that time. So was the coatless audience, listless- ly flaming and gasping in the gall leries The temperature at Con- vention Hall was 95 at midnight.
 An endless series of speeches, studded with the tired old stand bys of political oratory-that great American" "a man who" T am proud and privileged to be able etc. had been hammered into the microphones, hour after ploddine hour.
 Russelrs Name Up
 There had been one minor anc one major demonstration. Int first one came when the Soutf nominated Senator Richard Russell of Georgia.
 The major demonstration came after the Presidents name was placed in nomination. It was g duplicate of those subway -crushes that are standard equipment fol conventions.
 But after that, it sank into tho old lethargy The speakers droneo cn. Roll calls moved ahead witf i the ponderous weight of a steam roller.
 Truman Appears, Alert Then the President appeared. ] Despite the hour tne usually rises at a. m) he looked alert He walked to the rostrum with a lquick springy step. His white lin- en suit was immaculate. He was grinning. Then he atarted to speak.
 With a few lesser exceptions, his speech was the only notable and really vital part of the conven- tion. He quickly Tell into a fight ing mood. His anger and indig- nation had all the appearance of sincerity
 His theme was an old one-the sins of the Republican, controlled 80th Congress.
 1 But the President hit hard and his aim was good Moreover, his I manner was such that the aud- fence could hardly fail to react He was, by turns, angry, amusing and poisonously sarcastic. It was a good speech.
 It got the Democratic aircraft off the ground.
