Ro Republicans Carry Claims of Purity to Convention Hall

lican meetings were to be held May
3. under rules laid down by the per-
manent State q. o. p. committee, to
pick delegates to county conventions
who would on May 6 pick delegates to
the State convention who would on
May ~ pick delegates to the national
convention. AS there is no voter
registration law in Texas, there is
no handy list to show who is q Re-
publican, who is a Democrat. TO
determine who was eligible to take
part in the G. o. P. meetings. the State
Committee ruled that each partici-
pant had to sign this statement:
Il am a Republican and desire to
participate in Republican Party ac-
tivities in 1882"
The meetings were held, all right.
What happened at them? It is at
this point that all agreement ceases.
The Toft Story
Here is the story as told by the Taft
people in their ad. signed by the Ma
tional Citizens for Taft Committee,
1t. Gen. Albert c. Wedemeyer. ma
tional chairman:
First of all, the Taft faction says.
the statement each person signed at
the meetings was pledge" pledge
that the signer was q Republican
then and would continue to be Re-
publican through the 1852 elections.
But. they say. the Eisenhower sup
porters issued open invitations to
Democrats to become Republicans for
. day to pick the Republican NOM
inee. These Democrats were told. the
Taft group says, that they could sign
the G. o. p. pledge and still remain
active Democrats.
Consequently. say the Taftites, the
Eisenhower faction was shot through
with poorly disguised Democrats in
the contested meetings.
The Taft story then skips few
steps. The picture fades out as the
"Democrat-packed" precinct meet
ings open. It fades in again at
meeting Of the Republican State
Committee weeks later. Here we
find Q group OF Taft men claiming
to be duly selectk. sinon-pure Re-

import will close each nights
transmission.
Networks and sponsors alike are
planning to bend over backward
to avoid antagonizing the listener.
If there is such thing as an
unobtrusive commercial, it will be
heard at the Chicago conventions.
These messages, according to net
work plans, will be put in at ap-
propriate times-appropriate in the
sense of not getting in the way Of
floor proceedings.
It would be bad timing, the net
works and sponsors agree, to IN
troduce Gen. Macarthur in such
a way as to give the impression
that he was television talent,
bought and paid for by the adver-
tiSing agency. It also would be bad
taste.

news-gathering organization, As
sociated Press, will make use Of
about 100 writer's, editors, photo
graphers and technicians in carry
ing convention reports to about
100 newspapers. The two other
news agency STATS will be smaller
still.
Television, in going to Chicago
to cover the whole story, finds it
necessary to build variety into the
convention coverage. The industry
is virtually committed to keeping
the convention on the air all day
every day. But if nothing but the
procedures and antics on the con-
vention floor were shown, viewers
soon would be looking for more
exciting fare, such as old Western
movies and female wrestling
matches. To protect its investment,
television has to provide more than
just news coverage. This. too, will
cost money.
Cancellation Costs Money
A vast item of expense-perhaps
the biggest item of all-is the cost
of so-called "pre-empt" time. Tele-
vision contracts carry a clause that
in event of emergency, or when the
public interest is involved, a regu-
larly scheduled program can be
taken off the air and supplanted
by the special program. Obviously,
the network cannot collect from
the sponsor whose program is can
celed. What is more, the network
must pay the not-inconsiderable
cost Of the shows talent, plus an
Evening star., 1952-06-29

the duration of the convention. A
number of other network features
will follow suit as part of the in
dustry's effort to keep something
happening literally from breakfast
to bedtime.
The hot rivalry Of the networks
in this side-show field grows cut
aof the fact that they will be serving
up a uniform product insofar as
the convention itself is concerned.
A combination of shortages-of
space, of equipment and of trans
mission facilities-has made true
competition impossible TN coverage
of the convention sessions. To
cope with these shortages, televi-.
sion's big three have reluctantly
teamed up for pool arrangement.
The Convention Pool
Seven cameras will be focused on
the convention floor from beginning
to end of every session. Each of
the networks will provide equip
ment and manpower for this pool.
An ABC man will head the pool as
executive producer.
The images from the seven pool
cameras will come to a central
booth, where the producer will
select the picture that may go out
on the air. From this booth, the
image will be sent to each net
works booth. Each network may
use this picture from the floor
or none at all.
The competition will begin when
a network thinks it can present

WITH the biggest sustained
w news story in four years in
the immediate ofiing, the television
Industry Is straining every resource
to make the national political con-
ventionS the greatest shows on
earth. How well television will sue
ceed will depend not only on its
facilities and the inherent excite
ment of conventions. It also will de-
pend on how the public accepts a
relatively new TV concept-spon-
sored public affairs broadcasts.
Television, and the advertisers
who support it. frankly admit they
are walking q chalkline this time.
In 1948, TVS good but restricted
coverage Of the conventions was
carried without sponsorship. This
time, all the network convention
coverage will be bought and paid
for by three big electrical manu-
facturers - Philco, Westinghouse
and Admiral. Together, these ad-
vertisers will shower down some
thing like So million for the
privilege Of bringing the conven-
tions into an estimated II million
television homes. The advertisers
will expect to get their moneys
worth.
But television itself is not willing
and would not be permitted by
the national committees-to trans
form the convention into an overly
commercialized type of soap opera.
The problem Of giving the adver-
tisers their So million worth and
ut the same time not antagonizing
the }television audience Is giving
the TV industry pause. -
A survey Of the television indus
try's attitude toward the forth
coming conventions indicates that
TV is seriously concerned over
three questions: The question Of
money, the question Of timing, the
question Of taste.

publican delegates to the State con-
vention. Besides them, in the por-
trait drawn by the Taft ad, is a
group Of shifty-eyed Eisenhower
renegades also claiming to be the
delegates.
There is a difference. as the Taft
people see it. between Democrats
who join the Republican Party in
good faith and those who attempt
to participate in the Republican pri-
mary elections in bad faith. 1T is
the responsibility of the Republican
State Committee to accept the for
mer and reject the latter" they say.
The Taft story has a quick, happy
ending. The State committee did
exercise its responsibility. The pro-
Taft delegates were, accepted: the
pro- Eisenhower delegates were re-
jected. The State convention then
went on to pick pro-Taft delega-
ton to send to the national con-
vention.
That is one way of looking at
the Texas dispute. The other side

might revolt the viewer to the un-
thinkable point of switching chan
nels or even turning off his set.
"Gavel-to-gavel" convention COW
erage, as we have seen, does not
mean that every minute of conven-
ton sessions must go out on the
air. This would make, dull viewing
over the long haul.
What the networks will do is
intersperse interesting parts of con-
vention proceedings with all manner
of off-the-fioor material. NBC and
ABC have gone so far af1eld as to
import comedians to give "comic re-
lief" to the convention. National
is retaining Bob Hope in the un-
usual role of commentator, while
American has signed up Roger
Price, younger Hollywood comic.
CHS plans no comic coverage. One
executive of that network said he
believed there would be enough
genuinely funny developments at
the convention to keep the cover
age light without bringing in talent
for that purpose.
PoneIs Go West
Some Of the best-known panel
shows will move lock, stock and
barrel to Chicago and operate, from
there during the convention weeks.
Meet the Press and the "Ameri-
can Forum Of the Air" will broad
cast from Chicago the night before
the Republican convention opens.

discussion show, also will make the
move, taking on a political tinge for
Evening star., 1952-06-29

Two groups of mutually hostile
Texans will knock on the door Of the
Chicago stockyards pavilion next
week, and each will claim to be the
only true representative of that pug
nacious State in the Republican Ma
tional Convention.
One group will be all out for Sena-
tor Taft; the other will be whooping
it up for Gen. Eisenhower. Both will
be armed with legal arguments, moral
persuasion and, perhaps, wee bit
Of political chicanery, all designed to
corral the Texas seats in the conven-
ton. The group which wins the seats
will be able to cast its votes for the
man of its choice. And. with the race
for the G. o. p. nomination shaping
up as even-Steven, possession Of the
% contested Texas seats could have
a major bearing on the outcome Of
the convention.
Also to be considered will be the
effect on the voting public in Novem-
ber if either Texas faction convinces
the Nation that corruption was in

publican nominee.
The Texas fight will get It's big
national airing this week when the
Republican National Committee
meets to decide who shall be seated
temporarily at the convention. The
convention itself will listen to the
same arguments starting July Z and
then viii name the permanent dele
gates.
Briefs Submitted

Texas factions outlined their cases
last week-the Taft group in full
page ad carried by several news
papers. the Eisenhower people in a
news release accompanying a lengthy
statement by Texas Taftite who
says justice lies on Ike's side.
The preview indicates the contest
will boil down to this question: What
is the definition Of q Republican. and
who Is to decide who fits that defini-
ton?
The contestants agreed on these
facts: IN all Texas precih&ts Repub-

a backstage show more interesting
than the one going on in the con-
vention hall itself. The chances
for one of the broadcasting chains
to excel will come not when ses-
sions are at fever heat-and all
channels are carrying the same
picture. It will come when ses-
sions are dullest. At these times,
the networks will go their several
ways of showmanship and news
reporting. The one that first gets
the reputation for having the best
talent on the air probably will be
the one that fares best when the
Hooper and Nielsen ratings are
published. In the television busi-
ness, Hoopers and Nielsens pay
of. Hence the attitude of spare
no expense"
The 'Unobtrusive CommercioP
Another part of the question of
timing, which closely overlapS the
question of taste, is the matter of
how and when the advertiser will
get his lickS in. Each network is
planning to open and close it's
coverage of each session with
disclaimer" by the sponsor. The
disclaimer will go something like
this: "Philco Cor Admiral or West

Question Of Timing

It is not just the matter of split
second switching from one pro-
gram to another that will spell
success or failure for the networks
at Chicago. The essential timing
is Of a more delicate nature-a
question of how to keep convention
coverage rolling without boring the
viewer with several solid days Of
politics.
Timing is important, too, in the
matter of putting commercials on
the air. The wrong commercial at
the wrong time, the industry fears,

New 1852 Plymouth
Will Be Displayed In
| Caldwell On Jan. d

The new Plymouth for 1862
will be on display in Caldwell
Friday, Jan. 4, in the showroom
of Worl w. Thompson, local
dealer. =
A long list of improvements
IS in all - has been incorporat-
ed in the engine, the brakes,
the electrical system, the chassis,
and to the inside and outside of
the body.
The new car, according to Worl
w, Thompson, local Plymouth
dealer, has been improved and
refined to provide "the most
gentle ride, the -smoothest engine
performance and the greatest
safety ever built into a car for
the lowest price field" >..
Exceptional engine smoothness
is produced through a newly de-
signed combustion chamber;
brakes are stronger and longer
lasting; Plymouth's famous Safe
ty-Flow ride has been made even
more comfortable by improve
ments in the springing and to
the Oriflow shock absorbers; and
the cars beauty is enhanced by
numerous styling refinements.
The Plymouth has a road
hugging, sweeping appearance,
accented by changes in the ex-
ternal adornment. A new luxuri-
Gus standard for interiors is at
tanned with the high quality up
holstery fabrics in harmonious
colors which blend beautifully
with the instrument and door
panels.
The smart hardtop club coupse,
the Belvedere, is the pace-setter
in the lowest price field with its
new concepts in styling and
beauty. The car has glistening,
lively two-tone colors which set
it apart and give it the continent
al look. The color used on the
roof follows the Belvedere's
streamlined contours around the
spacious rear window and down
over the rear deck. Sparkling
chrome molding outlines the top
and carries back to separate the
two colorS at the junction at the
rear quarter-panel. Interior OF
the Belvedere is luxurious, with
colorful quality fabrics and
vinyl blended in perfect har-
mony with the shades used on
the exterior.
There are ten body types in
the new Plymouth line, according
to Thompson, available in an
array of eight regular, and two
special sparkling new colors. The
traditional interior roominess
and the many 'high-priced car"
features for which Plymouth has
been distinctive have been re-
tanned throughout the new line.
