Iron Curtain OvershodoWs Iran
New Crisis Poves Way for Moscow to Add Another Victim
To the Long Roll of Satellites Without MiIitorv Coup

In the tumult Of our politi-
cal conventions the rumbles
from abroad are little heard.
A speech by a presidential hope
ful, however hollow it may be,
receives far more space in print
and on the air than the dra-
matte developments in the Mid
die East. Yet. whichever candi-
date is elected in November will
have to face a more difficult
situation in handling the Ma
tion's foreign affairs if the
Middle East is placed behind
the Iron. Curtain.
The crisis in Iran. where the
T-year-old tear-shedding Pre-
mier Mohammed Mossadegh was
replaced by the equally aged
Conservative leader, Ahmed
Qavam. who has since resigned,
is bringing that country nearer
than ever to chaos. During the
Mossadegh regime Iran became
bankrupt. His temporary sue
cessor inherited this chaotic f.
nancial situation and was faced
with a political condition which
may complete the collapse of the
country. Qavam was inclined to
favor a settlement of the oil
dispute with Britain to replenish
the treasury which could no
longer pay even top-ranking Of
f1cials.
In some parts Of the country a
few remaining wealthy Persians
loaned the necessary sums to pay
the salaries Of provincial en-
ployes. The Qavam policy, to OBJ
tain some financial relief from
abroad, was received with howls
Of Indignation from the So
called Nationalist elements.
Since last Friday there were up-
risings throughout the country.
Several dozen demonstrators
were killed. wounded or Jailed.
These Nationalist" outbursts
are not spontaneous. They are
the handiwork of Moscow, whose
agents have penetrated deeply
into the life Of the Iranian peo-
pie.
Qavam was not a favorite of
the Kremlin, which regarded

too.
He can 60 East, South or

position in the heart Of the
great Midwest. AL the aspirants
for second place can only stand

allowed to serve.
The contrast between the
situation here now and two
weeks ago could hardly be more
complete.
Gen. Eisenhower is a man Of
stature. He will run his own
show when he masters it. But,
new to politics, he was obviously
in the hands Of his managers
here. They fought a good fight
for him. capitalizing fully on a
moral issue the Taft forces
handed them. They also, in a
process Of addition and subtrac-
ton, chose his Vice President,
Senator Richard Nixon.

man, wise in the ways of politics

a great pivotal State. has per-
formed operation solo" and

the defeat of anybody nomi-
mated. They have undertaken to
override the wishes of the one
man who has said over and
over again that he doesn't want
to be the candidate. They pro-
pose to make him the victim-if

est thing to an actual draft
that any convention has pro-
duced since the one that nomi-
mated James A. Garfield.
They think they can do it.
They believe that few Of the
supporters Of any of the open
candidates are ready to stand
and die for the man of their
choice. They doubt that many
OF the delegations are for Ke-
fauver or Kerr or Russell or
Hartman in the way some of
the Republican delegations were
for Eisenhower or for Taft. After
all. nobody has been fighting

their part, can look forward to
a campaign between two men
who have no vested interest in
the mistakes of the past which
they will feel bound to defend.
Democrats felt reassured today
when they looked at the vast
hall so astutely decorated with
the legends Of their accomplish
ments. Very few, however, are
inclined to minimize the cor
ruption issue and the stale
winds out of Washington. They
hope and believe the nomination
of Gov. Stevenson will minimize
these weaknesses.
The temperate Stevenson in
fiuence became apparent early.
New Dealers responded by soft
ening the rules changes they
were demanding on the cues

Southerners were accepting such
changes in part in q manner
very different from their early
intransigence.

Lowell MeNett:
Nobody'sMad otAd|oi Stevenson
So Democratic Politicians Look to Him One Candidate
Who Could Prevent Runous Division Within Portv

One thing sure about the
political situation this year: It
doesn't stand still. Within both
parties it started shifting this
way and that as far back as last
winter and now, between the two
parties, 1t is as uncertain as ever.
There was that period Of
widespread belief in the infal-
libility Of Gen. Eisenhower and
in his invincibility as q candi-
date If he allowed himself to be
drafted-by either. party. Then
the period. after he decided he
was a Republican, during which
the plugging Senator Taft re-
duced this view to nonsense
and drew the general into an
active battle for the nomination,
into one Of the bitterest rough
and-tumble fights the party
had ever experienced. Gen.
Eisenhower became the candi-
date Of a sorely divided minority
party, and q highly vulnerable
candidate at that. He was vul-
nerable because in the scramble
for the nomination his views
and lack Of views on many i'm
portant issues had been ruth
lessly exposed. And vulnerable,
of course. because Of the wide
split he had caused within the
party.
Out of this situation the
Democrats took vast satiSfac-
ton. From the notion that no
body could beat Ike they swung
to the extreme opinion that
anybody could, and the compe-
tition for the nomination grew
grim. It became more than a
competition Of candidates. It
became a real fight between the
various forces that seek to con-
troll the party. The sudden con-
viction that the Republicans
had handed them a pushover
lent frenzy to contest. The
Democrats started killing one

Stevenson's Operation Solo,
Democrats Rushing for Man Who Made No Commitments
And Under No Obligation to President the Party

CHICAGO. July "a. - Gov.
Adlai Stevenson built q better
mousetrap and the Democrats
are trampling him in their rush
to clear a path to his door.
Gov. Stevenson seems destined
to make political history by
achieving a presidential nomi-
nation strictly on his own terms.
It appears he will be the OBJ
ject Of a genuine draft on a
very early ballot. He has made
no commitments to any per-
son. State or voting bloc. He
hasn't even consulted the
omniscient - or are they? -
columnists. He is under no OBJ
legation to the incumbent Presi-
dent or his own party.
Even his floor leader is being
forced to volunteer his services.
The politicos are plaintive and
beWildered by turns. They are
still confident he can catch
Gen. Eisenhower in his mouse
trap, which is consolation
enough.
The Governor has accom-
plished this without loss of
dignity and with even an occa-
sional joke at his own expense.
That he will be q strong"
President, if elected, is hardly
open to doubt.
All the speculation about

Stevenson Outlines Stroteqy
Illinois Governor Virtually Captures Convention at Outset
As Speech Reveals He Would Be Powerful Nominee

most political speeches. sort
of throwback to the kind of
political speeches President VIII
son used to make.
When Gov. Stevenson urged
his party to admit its mistakes
and not to condone them by
making excuses, he was show
ing the rank and file how he
would steer ahead. when cor
ruption is bound to be a major
issue.
He pointed out that the
achievements in world policy
deserve greater emphasis, and
his idea apparently is that, if
these are kept in mind, the
mistakes will have less weight.
His strategy for national cam
paign oozed out of every para
graph Of the speech.
It was easy to see that the
delegates liked Gov. Stevenson.
He is head and shoulders above
all the other candidates in to-
tai elements of appeal-he has
youth. vigor. intellectual ca
pacity and q successful record
as Governor of q Midwestern
State. He is skillful enough to
walk a tightrope in everything
from civil rights to Taft-Hart-
ley repeal. Leaders in several
of the big delegations told this
correspondent today: Steven
son Is a natural"
Only, therefore, If Stevenson
refuses to accept is there a
chance for any Of the others.
It seems odd that labor lead
erS have turned thumbs down on
Vice President Barkley. It is a
lesson to those in public life who
go down the line, year after year
and in vote after vote. for labor
legislation only to find that,
when a man Of Mr.. Barkley's
fidelity needs the support Of
labor. the union leaders welch.
If ever man has been pro-labor
in Congress. it is Alben Barkley.
The answer to that point is to
select a good vice presidential
nominee. for Mr.. Barkley is as

didates and has had far more
experience than any of them.
not only in the House Of Repre-
sentatives but as majority leader
Of the Senate.
Mr.. Barkley's sensational
withdrawal, with his parting
shot against labor domination
of the convention. will not soon
be forgotten. In 1914 Franklin
Roosevelt's advice to vice presi-
dental candidates was "clear
with Sidney" The references
was to the late Mr.. Hillman, who
was then a CIO leader. Today,
the Truman advice is Clear
with Phil" for Mr.. Murray Of
the CIO is the real boss here and
the AFL goes along as the
obedient servant.
So far as speechmaking and
external appearances are con-
cerned, this convention has got
ten off to q good start. It was
smart to put Senator Douglas
Of Illinois on the program with
a defense Of the administra-
tion's record in Korea. It was
a good argument he made as
far as it went. and it certainly
does puncture many Of the Re-
publican arguments. But it still
doesn't answer satisfactorily the
question Of why the Truman
administration. after entering
the war in Korea, didn't use
maximum force to end it.
The contention that it would
have risked a larger war is
no more logical than it was
the day the United States, in
behalf Of the United Nations,
decided to intervene. That was
the real risk and, once incurred,
there is no reason why the con-
fiict should not have been
pressed promptly to a military
conclusion. thus saving many
lives.
The Korean war is a difficult
issue for both parties. It isn't
likely to get primary attention.

him as a tool of the Western

helm Of the government in 1946
when, under pressure of the
United Nations, the Soviet gov
ernment was compelled to with
draw its military forces which
had reached the outskirts of

whole oil-rich area of Azerbai-
jan under Muscovite control.

But the party continues to op-

the oil fields brought a loss of

without providing any new
source Of revenue. The oil
wealth Of Iran was lost to it's
people and to the rest of the

empty treasury and neither the
U. S. s. r. nor the West was
willing to replenish it. Our
Government has refused to
make any loans to Iran, not only
because 1t does not want to
annoy the London government
but also because it realizes that
20 or 80 million dollars would
in no way help the desperate
conditions in that country. The
Kremlin. which excelS in fishing
in muddy waters, is exploiting
the situation for all it is worth.

David LoWrence:

CHICAGO, July 22.-Rarely
ever has a national party con-
vention shown such unanimity
at the very outset about the
candidate it wants to nominate
as it did here on the first day
of the convention. For it was
apparent in the spontaneous
demonstration-aS it has been
apparent outside the convention
hall, in the lobbieS and confer
ence rooms of the delegates
that Gov. Adlai Stevenson of
Illinois is the man they all want
for party leader.
Will he accept If nominated?
1t seems to be generally agreed
that he will. The main reason
is that. if he doesn't, his political
career is finished. He could
never get the nomination again
once he turned it down. No
party likes to name q man only
when 1t suits his convenience to
run.
It has been known that Gov.
Stevenson didn't want to run
this year because he was anxious
to be reelected Governor Of
Illinois. He has had an idea that
it would be more opportune for
him to be a candidate four years
hence.
But this is the year the Demo-
cratic Party needs Gov. Steven
son. For Gen. Eisenhower is q
popular candidate, and none Of
the men whose names have been
actively sponsored - Kefauver,
Russell, Hartman, Barkley-is
considered strong enough to win
against Gen. Eisenhower. With
Gov. Stevenson. the feeling
would be one Of confidence
with anybody else, it would be
one of hope against hope, If not
despair.
The Illinois Governor showed
IN just a few minutes in the
opening proceedings Of the con-
vention what a whale Of a can
didate he would make. His
speech was well thought out.
It was on a higher plane than

that his reluctance Is genuine
and this has won him respect.
II a face-Saver is needed for the
bitter-end he appears to be
qualified.
Just such q situation as now
exists in Chicago was foreseen
long ago and at one time many
believed it would be resolved by
President Truman permitting
himself to be drafted. That now
appears to be out. He himself is
a subject Of too much conten-
ton. In his stead the men who
want to win again this year
feel pretty sure they have in
Adlai Stevenson what is needed
to pull the party together and
start it on its way.
