Bandwagon Discord
Dewey and Taft Managers Feints Tie
Favorite.Son States Into Tighter Knots

for the green bandwagon-he can
not deliver his State apparently te
any candidate now with the Colonel
on the rampage.
Sounded Plausible.
Mrs. Luce, a phrasemaker and ar
artful debater, outtalked him any
way. Her speech was studded with
quotable phrases and her razz o1
the Democrats, New Dealers, Henry
Wallace and Communism, which she
scarcely bothered to differentiate one
from another, was highly stimulat-
ing to her audience. At one point
she appeared to be charging that
these anti-Republicans were con-
demning unborn children to obi
Won which even Herbert Hoover
probably does not believe but it
sounded plausible when she said 1t.
The gentlewoman from Connecti-
cut always has managed to make
other women look as If they hadn't
quite finished dressing and she did
not let down her public in that de-
partment either. In her forties, she
is still lovely looking and outstand-
ing among the too often overdeco-
rated women at such affairs by the
clean simplicity of her appearance.
OF all the Republican women,
Mrs. Luce is the only one who could
seriously be mentioned as a vice
presidential possibility. Formerly she
was: it has not been heard at this
convention. Most of the party's
concession to the distaf side can
still be classified as orchid-bearers
though among the State delegations
there are exceptions.
Mrs. Luce Is an avowed interna-
tionalist, her candidate Is Senator
Vandenberg. Col. Mccormick or no.
Gov. Green made sure his keynote
address soothed members of the
bucking House Of Representatives
1t is helpful to those who hope
the Republicans will be progressive
and internationalist to keep the rec
ord with them. Certainly the stands
taken today are long march from
the other postwar era-Gov. Green
and Mrs. Luce are against Warren
Harding and isolation.
But the jackpot Is still the preSi-
dency. The nominee can make every
word said here mean nothing OF
everything.

This Changing World
U.S.Aid Promises to Pay Off in Crushing
Of Red Influence in Northern Greece

and tactical methods which will be
thrown against the forces Of totali-
tarianism, and the Greeks are re-
ceiving early and thorough training
in those methods.
The Greek offensive comes at a
time when the Soviet bloc is at
tempting - for reasons connected
with the American election cam
paign-to give the appearance Of a
peace offensive. AS far as Greece
is concerned, this has taken the form
of negotiations" between Greek and
Bulgarian diplomats in Washington
for the restoration of diplomatic re-
lations between their countries.
No Real Settlement Seen.
Such negotiations are not expect
ed in Washington to produce any
real settlement between Athens and
Sofia. Although there has been. less
activity recently on the Greek-Bul-
garian frontier than on the border
with Albania and Yugoslavia, Bull
garia remains tightly held in the
Soviet bloc OF states and she will
make no commitments toward
Greece which are not in accord with
Moscow's desires. 1t has not yet be-
come Moscow's policy to permit the
Greeks to live in peace, although
she has not chosen at this time to
commit herself and her strongest
satellite te-YugoSlavia-to an immed-
late victory for the Communist
guerrillas.
This reluctance to get too deep
into the Greek civil war may be evi-
dence of a disposition on Moscow's
part to prepare for an even strong
er effort against the Western De-
mocracies.
Beaten back in Italy, rebuffed in
France and encountering an offen-
sive in Greece under the direction
of American military advisers and
with the aid of American military
equipment, Moscow sees Berlin and
the creation of a united West Ger
man federation of states as the most
immediate threat to Soviet expan-
sionism in Europe.
Aid to Greece has been expensive
for the American taxpayer, but if
by such military activities as are
now going on in northwestern
Greece the Communist threat can
be eliminated or radically reduced,
the cost will not have been too
great

citement because it related to some
thing they wanted to do which they
believed was noble. They wanted to
elect as President a man whom they
thought worthy Of their national
tradition. I went out to the Con-
vention Hall and found that all this
excitement, which ought to h 3e
come to its climax at the sessions
there, had been dissipated. 1t had
been regarded by the promoters as
quite unimportant compared with
the claim of photography and radio
and television.
The effect of q public meeting
depends on the relationship between
the audience and the speakers. There
is no valid relationship of that sort
at the Convention Hall. The parties
remain as cool and distant as lovers
who are obliged to do their counting
in the presence of strangers. All
round the gallery are set huge
lights Of the peculiarly fierce and
cold tone which is required by tele-
vision. These tire the eyes of every
body in the hall who is in front of
them, and these include the speak
ers, the delegates, a considerable
proportion Of the audience, and all
the press.
Many Wear Dark Glasses.
All these people have tired eyes
except those who are strong minded
enough to wear dark glasses. But
again the comparison with love
holds good. Can you imagine Romeo
and Juliet playing the balcony
scene in dark glasses? Can you
imagine Abraham Lincoln making
the Gettysburg speech in dark
glasses? Hence, hardly anybody ex-
cept the press protected their eyes,
and langour was general. The peo-
pie behind the lights looked like
ghosts to the people who were in
front Of them. So dazzled speakers
addressed an audience which, only

Its proper function as an appoint.
ment between America and it,
greatness. For 1t did not seem that.
There was . big promontory built
out from the gallery on which there
sat men with movie cameras. The
press photographers kept jumping
up between the speaker and hts
audience. The speakers did tricks
to please the camera men. One
speaker went on and on waving his
arms as If he were controlling ap-
plause that was not there because
he was asked to do SO for the sake
OF a good newsreel. What would
Abraham Lincoln have said to that.
I wonder? The convention seemed
to be run for the benefit OF the
picture press and the radio and the
movies and television. But what the
heck Is the use Of communications
unless you have something to com.
municate?, And this excessive eye
for communications ruins the con.
ventions.
I hate this thing If my own
country, and grieve to see it here,
for you have q meeting here which
is more important than anything
we have in great Britain except
our parliamentary sittings, which.
thank God, we have kept clear Of
this monkey business up till now.
I hate it because I think 1t is one
sign Of a human tendency which I
think dangerous. We can't say.
I'VE could use movie cameras and
television and radio at this meeting,
but we won't" If we have q gadget
we must use it. We can't summon
up the strength Of mind to say.

ment on its own territory.
The present offensive, under way
In the Mount Grammos area near
the Albanian border, apparently Is
on a broader scale and is engaging
more men than previous efforts OF
this kind. If it results successfully,
Markos Vafiades' Communist forces
either will be dispersed or sewed up
in pockets, from which they can be
eliminated piecemeal.
The number of Greek troops
70, ,0O0-involved in this drive is an
Indication of the success the Amer
lean military mission has had in
getting the Greeks to fight their
own war. One element of grave
criticism of the Greek war effort
was the reluctance Of the Greek
government to launch just such an
offensive as is now being under
! taken.
Comedies With Peace" Drive.
Important for us in this whole
matter of stimulating the Greeks to

On the Other Hand
GO. P. Candidates Fear That Truman
Will Call Special Session of Congress

! light and heat Of . presidential
campaign.
One of the first questions asked
Gov. Dewey on his arrival in Phila-
delphia was whether he thought
there should be an extra session.
He said no. quickly and emphati-
cally. Senator Taft made the same
answer when asked. He elaborated
to the extent of saying that the
problems remaining before Congress
are complicated and require more
study than can be given in q short
session.
No, the candidates do not want
any extra session before the elec-
ton. Gov. Dewey, to be sure, told
reporters that the Republican Con-
gress has made remarkable rec
ord. II am proud OF It," he said
Among other achievements, he
noted that it had passed housing
bill-"the exact nature of which ]
am unable to learn"
Bill Flayed BY Tobey.
The exact nature OF the housing
bill was given by Republican Sena-
tor Tobey of New Hampshire last
Saturday. He called it fake" q
fraud" hollow she'll" "1im-
f1am," a STEAL" a "monstrosity" and
miscarriage" That's the sort of
attack the candidate, whoever he
may be, will have to meet. Senator
Taft, going natural, would meet it
head-on. II think the House made
a great mistake" he told reporters
here in Philadelphia.
Gov. Dewey, much more glib,
might do little better. But with
Congress in session while he was
on the stump, even the Dewey glib
ness might not sufnce.
Evening star., 1948-06-22

The leading contenders face an
other problem in their more ardent
supporters who are spotted among
the feuding delegations. Loyal
friends are a fine thing bat it would
never do to offend an influential
governor or state leader until alb
solute success is assured by the ma
neuver. For example, a knot OF
Dewey supporters in an important
eastern State are talking rebellion
against their favorite soh and in
sisting they will vote Dewey on all
ballots.
"They will vote for their favorite
son if we have to beat them over
the head with baseball bat until
we give the word" exclaimed a
Dewey manager. I'VE, can't afford
to have anybody mad at us, yet"
7 Brain Trusts Sweat.
While the various brain trusts
sweated out the real battle plans,
the delegates, who have only gen.
eral idea of what goes on, were
turning their eager faces toward
two exponents of the Republican
gospel, Gov. Dwight Green Of
Illinois, the keynoter, and former
Representative Clare Boothe Luce.
The speakers earned their applause
in the glaring lights of television
for which they tastefully arpayed
and groomed themselves to the last
fingernail.
Gov. Green who had frankly
hoped the keynote might make him
vice president had labored might
lily on a speech carrying him down
a broad middle road, acceptable to
Senator Vandenberg but likewise
kind to the conservatives. He had
rehearsed painstakingly and adopt
ed the suntan makeup advised by
the experts. But before he could
open his mouth, Col. Mccormick of
Chicago, who at least exercises
veto power over Illinois, suggested
a Taft-Stassen ticket would be nice
1t is not believed that the dele
gates who have rallied to Mr.. Stass-
en-, the liberal internationalist, will
take kindly to the Colonels plans
even though Mr.. StaSsen, now a poor
third in the initial balloting, is clear
ly tempted. BY every claim he has
made, Mr.. Stassen belongs in the
Vandenberg sector, though the Sem
ator who has been under bitter at
tack by Col Mccormick took a dim
view Of the recent Stassen-McCor-
mick dinner.

These lights also raised the tenn
perature considerably. and not q
soul In the place but glistened
greasily. The audience was not
thinking of Stassen or Taft or Dewey
or any Of the great and good or ei
the principles of the Republican
Party, it was just wishing it could
have a cold shower. No speech re-
called the political enthusiasm which
was behind this occasion with any
vividness, because Of the monstrous
instrument, the microphone. This
is supposed to amplify the voice OF
q speaker and enable him to be
heard by many people who would
not be able to listen to him If he
were using his natural voice. It
does not do anything Of the sort
It breaks down a speakers voice and
destroys Its personality and sends
forth a swollen and unmovins
travesty of it.,
Again test this by analogy. We
would all give a great deal to hear
Lincoln make the Gettysburg
speech with his own voice. But nc
sensible one OF us would give a cent
to hear him make the speech
through a microphone. If one must
hamper ones speakers by imposing
on them what amounts to a dis
flgurement of his personality one
should at least see that they can
really be heard, which is to say that
they can be listened to without dis
comfort. At the Convention Hall
one cannot do this. One can hear
the words but it is not agreeable
Somebody has said, 1--WE will have
the best loud-speaker system there
is" and no doubt that is what they
have got. They have not said to
themselves: This Is the best there
is but it still is not as pleasant as
listening to the direct voice Of a
speaker used to be-" for If they had
said that they might have taken
precautions to get the meeting back
to the pitch Of effectiveness that
meetings used to have in the old
days.

tered the arrangements which pre-
vent the convention from fulfilling
