Convention in Retrospect

The Star should be congratulated on
its prescience when it published back at
the end of May. in the informality of its
correspondence columns, foreshadow-
ing of the moment "when the band
wagon begins to roll at Chicago. when
Minnesota with yell has thrown it's
votes for Ike, and the banners are pa
rading and the wagons laundering -. :"
It's unfortunate, though, that We had
to wait for Minnesota to throw its
votes. It was an opportunity made to
order for the District. which will not
come again. When the balloting had
come to the Districts six delegates,
Eisenhower already had sos, within 9
of majority. Taft's cause at that mo-
ment was lost beyond all salvation. Ike
was as good as in. An alert chairman
of our delegation, with sufficient mental
residence, should have cast our votes
for Ike then, giving him within three of
the mathematical majority, and earn
ing for the District the glory of the
next-to-last upward push. Hawaii, fol-
lowing, would then have cast its eight
for him, giving the final shove. So the
District and Hawaii between them,
though only step-children of the Ma
ton, and otherwise voiceless, could have
shared the pride of having been respon-
Sible for the nomination of our next
resident of 1900 Pennsylvania avenue.

to think that such an unfurling of the

perhaps at the phoned instructions Of
Mr. Gabrielson or of Mr.. Taft himself.

capture the next general election. It
has thrown political philosophy to the

sonality Of one candidate-and it has
straddled the continent and attempted
to capture the great block of California

Case Of the UnpIedged D. c. Delegates

might be in favor of one candidate or
another Considerable emphasis was
laid on the strategic position of the Dis
trict in voting near the end of the roll
call.
This tradition Of political opportunism
was defended stoutly by the Old Guard
candidates throughout the primary CAM
paign. Their chief critics were the Eisen-
hover rebels in the local party who
wanted the Districts votes firmly COM
mitted to their man. There were many
who looked on the primary as a
straight Taft Eisenhower contest, but
the local party leaders, according to
what they had to say, were not among
them. From start to finish, they clung
firmly to neutral position, refusing in
most cases to indicate even personal
preference between the leading con-
tenders.
Since the convention, Mr.. McGar-
raghy has said the delegates had re-
ceived q virtual mandate" to vote for
Senator Taft. If so, it was not apparent
at the time Of the District primary, or
the subsequent local convention.
After his reelection, Mr.. McGarraghy
declared that the results indicated that
the Republicans of the District approve
the position that the State Committee
has taken"-a position based squarely
on the wisdom Of an uninstructed dele
cation. At the local convention, there
was actually an effort made to have the
delegation instructed for Senator Taft.
1t was old-shouldered to such degree
that the motion was lost for want of
a second.
These facts made it all the more diff
flcult to understand what happened to
the District delegation in Chicago. 1t is
hard to see why the delegates should
have allowed themselves to be so thor
oughly shared in the very trap that they
had described in detail to the
Washington public. It Is ironic that they
should have the golden opportunity
served to them on a platter. only to
turn up their noses.
Two possible explanations suggest
themselves It is conceivable that the
delegates-when they pledged them
selves to Senator Taft after reaching
Chicago, and before the start of the
onvention-believed that he had the
nomination in the bag. On the
other hand, 1t is possible that the talk
during the District primary about the
virtues Of unpledged delegates was pure
horsefeatherS. calculated to confuse the
Eisenhower issue. The first ex-
planation reflects little credit on the
delegates political acumen The second
would indicate at least certain lack of
candor.

BY the Associated Press

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Oct. 3d.
The president of the University of
Notre Dame yesterday accused IS
faculty members Of "jeopardizing"
the schools non-partisan position
by supporting Gov. Stevenson for
President.
The Rev. Theodore NJ. Hesburg
C. S. c., was described by a Notre
Dame spokesman as being greatly
disturbed" by paid political ad-
vertisements which have been
placed by "Volunteers for Ste
venSon" organization in several
metropolitan newspapers. The
spokesman was James Murphy
Notre Dame director of public in
formation.
Father HeSburgh said in q state
ment the university "strenuously
objects" to the attempt to iden-
tify the University of Notre Dame
with one side of the present
political campaign"
The ads. which carry the names
of the IS faculty members, say,
I'VE shall work, vote and pray
for the election of Gov. Steven
SON."
In New York George Backer,
treasurer of the New York Volun-
teers for Stevenson, quoted the
last paragraph of the .ad in reply
to Father Hesburgh. 1t says:

citizens. Obviously, this state
ment in no way commits the uni

Aqain Demands Nixon
Reveal Income Data

A new demand that Senator

make public his income tax re-
turns. was made today by Chair
man Stephen A. Mitchell of the
Democratic National Committee.
1t was voiced after Senator Nix
on, campaigning in California,
branded as "lie" a charge by
the Democratic committee that he
and his family own real estate
valued at more than a quarter
of-a-million dollars. The COM
mittee said this was in sharp con-
trast to statements attributed to
Senator NiXon's wife that when
the Senator got out of the Navy
in 1916 they were too poor to
buy stamps for political cam
paigning."
Personal attacks upon me by
Senator Nixon and Republican
Chairman Summerfield are no
substitute for the financial facts
which Senator Nixon demanded
that Gov. Stevenson and Senator
Sparkman produce, but which
Senator Nixon again yesterday re-
fused to make public" Mr.. Mitch
ell said.
THE Republican chairman said
Senator Nixon has made public
every single fact about his in

view The fact is that SenatorI
Nixon did not make public every
single fact about his income-he
was far from showing the frank

handing out photostatic copies of
his income tax returns"
Mr.. Mitchell demanded that
Senator Nixon disclose:

last 10 years.

3. Specific deductions he claimed
against his income.

Gerald Smith Charges
Nixon Deal ATTEMPT

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 80 (P).-
Gerald L. K. Smith charged today
that a representative of Senator
Nixon had tried to make a deal
with him to withdraw the Chris
tian Nationalist Party ticket be-
fore Tuesdays election.
Murray Chotiner, the Republi-
can vice presidential candidate S
campaign manager, fatty denied
the charge, saying Senator Nixon
never has nor would accept Mr.
Smiths support. In his speech
the Senator had termed Mr.. Smith
an advocate of racist theories and
among those who endanger the
Nation.
Mr.. Smith, who heads the Chris
tian NationaliStS, said:
Senator Nixon's attack on me
in his Nationwide radio broadcast
last night revealed him as COM
plete and conscienceless hypocrite
Less than one week ago a rep
resentative of the Nixon Strategy
Committee, headed by Dana
Smith, propositioned me for sup
port. They made extravagant and
flattering promises provided Sem
ator Jack B. Tenney (of the Cali
fornia Legislature) and I would
pull the Macarthur -Tenney presi-
Dental ticket out of the national
contest.
For Nixon's agents to PROPOSE
ton me secretly on one hand
while attacking me publicly on an
other only reveals and emphasizes
the hypocrisy of the whole Eisen-
hower-NiXon outfit"
The Christian NationaliStS are
running Gen. Douglas Macarthur
for President and Mr.. Tenney for
Vice President.
In his speech last night Senator
Nixon said the Nation is endan-
gered from those on the right
for example, who advocate racist
theories-and I mean people like
Gerald L. K. Smith-and those or
the left like the Communists who
would destroy our freedoms in
America"

THE Department of State has
received inquiries regarding re-
port that United States Senator
Richard M. Nixon asked the
American Embassy at Havana to

"On August 81, Mr.. Dana C.
Smith wrote to the American
Embassy at Havana describing
his experience at the San Souci

stopped payment; this informa-
ton later appeared in the press.
"Mr. Smiths letter was trans
mitted under cover of letter
from Senator Nixon in which the
Senator stated that he would
appreciate anything which the
Embassy might be able to do to
assist Mr.. Smith in his problem.
THE Embassy acknowledged
Senator Nixon's letter, stating
that although it was prohibited
by the Foreign Service regulations

possible to be helpful to Mr..
Smith.
