Convention
Continued From First Page.)

larly to the greeting which Gov.
Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois was
to present after the welcome ad-
dress by Mayor Martin Kennedy
of Chicago. The appearance of
the Illinois Governor was obvi-
ouSly awaited as being consider
ably more than a formal greeting.
Many delegates speculated on
whether his appearance would
touch off the first demonstration
Of the convention.
The amphitheater was so slow
in filling that by 11:15 am. the
galleries and sections reserved for
Democratic Party leaders and
other prominent guests were al
most empty. Former Attorney
General j. Howard McGrath and
Mrs. McGrath were among the
first to arrive in the VIP section.
Mr.. McGrath is a former National
Chairman.
Unlike some opening days of
previous Democratic conventions,
relatively few delegates turned out
in colorful headgear or similar
identifications. The Puerto Rican
delegation wore huge sombreros.
The Puerto RicanS told reporters,
however, that they had no inten-
ton of staging a comic" scene
such as the COP delegation from
Puerto Rico put on in the same
hall two weeks ago. Several sup
porters of Senator Russell from
Georgia wore blue colored three
cornered Colonial hats calling
upon their fellow delegates to
Strike a blow for liberty" by
nominating him.
The 3.100 delegates seemed to
be sitting tight. They showed little
inclination-at least until the sit
uation jelled-for organized
rumpus-raising, They waited in q
buzz of relative bewilderment,
mixed with a restive expectation,
for Mr.. Mckinney to call to order
the first free-for-all convention in
score of years. The scene sug-
gested that the Democrats, at
least at the opening stages of
their quadrennial gathering, were
out OF practice-or out of touch
with the methods of coping with
multitude of candidates running
in all directions at the same time.
Color Confined to Decorations.
They did not look or sound I'M
duly dismal or discouraged as they
filed into the amphitheater lately
left by aroused Republicans. But,
even these most eager to come to
the aid of the party conceded that
a great deal of the color was con-
fined to the new decorations in
the hall itself.
A hotel corridor hopper did not
have to put his ear to the ground
yesterday to catch strains of SUBJ
dued merriment and perplexed
questions concerning political
lightning as conventioneers and
others of the faithful Streamed
into an otherwise sizzling Chicago.
Even with a pickup in the
whoop-up today, delegates and
spectators groped through rumors
and Speculations on their way to
the stockyards convention center.

The pace and pulse of the initial
proceedings differed greatly from
the recent Republican festivities.
1t brought only the faintest echo
of traditional activities and antics
of past Democratic nominating
sessions. Hub-bub, organized or
otherwise, has yet to shatter the
air. But the situation held suf-
ficient signs that all this may
turn out to be a delayed-action
explosion. A half-dozen of the
most energetic and admittedly
eager candidates displayed as
tonishing bursts of speed yester-
day to OUTRAGE one another in
going to see State delegations, or
talking with reporters. They were
tireless in chasing the flowing
hours with flying feet and polit-
ical coattails.

Pictures of President Truman
and the late President Franklin
d. Roosevelt hang high to the
right and left of the rostrum.
Along a rear gallery are smaller
portraits of Presidents Jefferson,
Jackson, Cleveland, Wilson,
Roosevelt and Truman.
These likenesses attracted less
attention than did huge signs at
either end and a series of lettered
shields along both sides of the
hall. Delegates looked forward
and saw: "Security-for-You-
Your Family-Your Country"
They looked back and read:
Twenty Years of Progress" The
shields cite differences between
bankruptcy and prosperity, char
ity and social security, unemploy-
ment and 81 million employees,
privilege and fair deal, poverty
and plenty, sweat shop and fair
play, fear and hope, slums and new
homes. A rural ruin and fertile
farms. The signs naturally put the
best words forward.
Other major changes in Dem
ocratic arrangements included the
transfer of the orchestra from the
rear to the front of the hall, i'm
mediately behind the platform;
the erection of a television stand
in the alternateS. section to get

Senator Russell found himself
unable, at his press conference

issue on which all Democrats could
agree. He had been asked about
the proposed loyalty pledge" for
delegates to the convention, and
he was trying to show how hard
it would be to get complete agree

platform.

Political SfdeRekts:

CHICAGO, July 21.-It was not
an iron curtain behind which the
Illinois delegation held it's caucus
at the Morrison Hotel yesterday. II
was one of these big, accordion
like curtains that hotels use to
make two rooms out of one room
But whatever it was, the resource
fulneSs of the American press
as represented by about sc
reporters, male and female-got
the best of the curtain.
Most of the more than 100 re-
porters covering the secret caucus
waited like ladies and gentlemen
of the press in jam-packed en-
trance room outside the meeting
room. But some reporters found
their way into another room,
closed off from the meeting room
by the accordion curtain. There
was about an eighth of an inch
between the lower curtain and the
floor. Sounds of speaking came
through this space.
And one of the most interesting
spectacles of the working press
at work ever seen was the 80 re-
porters-including two ladies'
prone on the floor, notebooks at
their sides, ears glued to the space
between the curtain and the floor.
It was the greatest case of mass
eavesdropping on the record.
But it produced very coherent
account of what Gov. Stevenson
told the Illinois delegation-a
much more detailed version, in
cidentally, than Gov. Stevenson
gave himself after the caucus ad-
journed and the reporters got up
from the floor and trooped into
the caucus room.
The journals represented by
these reporters will not be named.
Nor will the reporters. But one
witness will never forget the sight
of two winners of the Pulitzer
prize and lady reporter of great
renoWn, fiat on their tummieS,
catching the golden words of great
men that came from beneath the
accordion curtain and writing
them down as current history.
A startled State policeman, gun
on his hip, walked into the room
to investigate. He found out what
was going on, turned his back in
disgust and left in high dignity.

Tcny Branoff, Michigan's hurley
second semester freshman from

Indiana team seemed to gain
strength every minute, the VOL

times without letting Indiana in

the second half seemed far away in
