THE EVENING STAR, Washington, D. c. All


horizons became, he would never
forget what he had learned when
he was . cop. liked the sense he
gave OF being full Of worthy wis
dom on which he would rely until
1t came into conflict with his own
code Of values, when his code would
win.
Thinking Of him and some other
Democrats have met, the awk-
wardness of this convention seemed
temporary and unimportant. In
credible as it will seem to those who
were at the Republican Convention
it is quieter inside the hotels than
out.
Rooter for Eisenhower.
And when one steps out OF the
Bellevue Stratford one walks into
q terrific racket which is caused by
the former sergeant OF Gen. Eisen-
hover, who is still roofing for Eisen-
hover as President In spite Of the
generals repeated and final refusals
to run. This man sits all day In
jeep covered with great photographs
of Gen. Eisenhower in the blazing
heat and really exerts himself to the
utmost to beat out this violent and
futile propaganda.
What is interesting is that he is
not crazy or even stupid. He Just
has that sort of temperament which
certain kinds Of big dog have: They
keep on and on Fostering for the
stick to be thrown long after their
master has gone indoors and shown
that the sport is over for the day.
This is a case OF real and not
ignoble devotion, and 1t is a pity
that the general cannot set him to
do something which the general
really wants done. If the general
had hatred of a particular disease
say cancer or tuberculosis, and
wanted to raise money for a cam
paign against it, this man would
raise a fortune. As 1t is. this figure
adds to the sense of waste and dust
about the convention. which is SC
great that people cannot bear to
talk much about it. 1T is wake,
they say, ut is . mortuary," and
they 60 on to talk Of other things
than candidates.
Talk About Civil Rights.
They talk with apprehension Of
the dispute over civil rights which
may find its way to the convention
hall in a discussion on the platform
There is in front Of the convention
hall q line Of pickets, mostly colored
men, who hold banners threatening
refusal Of military service. When
this problem is discussed peoples
faces light up again with interest
They express hopes that there will
not be a worthless compromise, that

Truman's Stature in Party Is Seen
Greater for Victory Over Opposition

the man who isn't here. That's
one of the differences between this
weeks affair and the one Philadel-
phla witnessed in June. Gov. Dewey,
Senator Taft, Mr.. Stassen and the
other contenders appeared in person
at the Republican brawl. Mr.. Tru-
man is here only in name.
1t wasn't even a big name when
the advance guard Of the convention
arrived. 1t has become q good deal
bigger It has become the name OF
a man able to lick the entire oppo-
sition within the party.
Grows as Result Of Fight.
This is partly due to the ONCE he
holds and the fact that the con-
vention is compelled to nominate
him whether it likes him or not.
But it is partly due also to the fact
that he has grown in his own right
as result of the fight he has been
forced to make. The more his
enemies have tried to tear him down
the bigger he has appeared to grow.
His enemies may really have sue
ceeded in making big man Of Mr.
Truman.
If it had been only the extremists
among the Americans for Demo-
cratic Action, with their sincere de-
sire for another Roosevelt. the effect
would have been small. If 1t had
only been the Hagues and the other
city machine operators, with their
selfish yearning for candidate that
would pull them through, the same
would be true. Or If it had only
been the Southern politicians seek
ing to exercise their customary veto,
it wouldn't have been enough. But
when all these combined against
him and came out in the open, the
punishment he was able to visit
upon them made him appear at
last a warrior Of real size.
When the struggling finally ceases
which doubtless will be when the
quarrel over civil rights is disposed
Olive a notion the delegates will
depart for home better satisfied with
their candidate than they expected
to be when they came to Philadel-
phia. For Democrats like other
people, respect fighter.
That will be double II the Presi-
dent puts up the kind Of night
against the real enemy that he has
been compelled to make within the
party. He has indicated that he Ii
prepared to do this, once he Is free
to cut loose. His tentative barrage
against the Republican Congress has
set the pattern for the campaign, .
campaign in which he should be
able to put the Republican Party on
the defensive and keep 1t there.
