CINCINNATI - (NC) - The

ton, DR.. Vincent E, Smith, pro
fessor of philosophy at the Uni

in addressing the annual awards
convocation at Xavier University
DIR. Smith, a graduate of Xav'
ier, received. the universlty'S
l25th anniversary citation award
from Father Paul l.. O'Connor
81, president of Xavier, for his
contribution to the study of phil,
osophy.
Nearly every leading idea in
20th century physics bears

said. "If America has been
short-chsnsed in Theoretical
scientists, surely large snare
OF the blame is the pragmatie
method which has come TO be
q criterion of truth not merely
in the work-s-dsY world but
even in our intellectual eul-
ture."
The shortage of theoretical
physicists will not be relieved by
merely offering more and even
better scieEce courses, he EN-
phasized. The student needs q
liberal arts training, "arts be

by human reason and liberal be
cause they enable the mind, like
a'free man, to operate for its own
proper good, the possession oi

Chorus Of Criticism
But on all other major issues,
the Demonstrating on the out
side of the White House looking
in-had no difficulty in forming
a chorus of criticism of the poll
ices of the Eisenhower admin
istration.
The subcommittee yesterday
approved a broad domestic policy
plank, which called the Repub-
Ilican slogan of prosperity and
progress an illusion"
1t said the "disastrously reac-
tionary farm program. the hard
hearted resistance to adequate
Expansion of social security and
other programs for human we'll
being. and favoritism in the
award of Government contracts,
all have watered the economic
tree at the top and neglected its
roots"
Answering Republican claims
of new high points in production
and employment, the plank in
sisted that the overall rate of
growth has been crippled and
stunted in contrast to it's steady
increase during the Democratic
years 1947-53."

in the administration of this
Government"
Mr.. Stevenson'S fondness for
quipS came out despite his obvi-
GUS efforts to make an earnest
plea for support of many more
than the 100 delegates who were
reported yesterday by Senator
Kefauver as certain to back the
former Illinois Governor.
To-day ] call Senator Ke-
ifauver your leader" he told the
delegates. II hope after a couple
of days you will call me your
leader"
/ Midway in his speech, a near

He paused and remarked: well,
perhaps you're not missing any,
thing. The fact is 1 was Won
dering what to say next"
Senator Makes Plea
Senator Kefauver, both before
the arrival of Mr.. Stevenson and
in an earlier talk to the dele
gates, said he himself came be-
fore them to TASK one more great
favor"
please have confidence in the
decision I have arrived at" he
pleaded. II am confident Mr..
Stevenson will win. He has i'm
proved a great deal in his cam
Ipaign methods. He is putting
more personality, more force and
more drive into his campaign
ing. He is more clearly defining
the iSsues.Y
The Tennessee Senator again
assured his hearers that there
are absolutely no strings tied to
Imy decision to withdraw in
favor of Gov. Stevenson.
His further declaration of
willingness to accept the vice
presidential nomination came
during a question and answer
period shortly before Mr.. steven
son arrived.
I'LL tell you very frankly how
I feel about that" he said. II
don't believe in being coy. When
I withdrew several weeks ago,
my feeling was that I probably
would be better off, and my fam
lily would be better OH. if 1
stayed in the Senate.
But if in the opinion of the
delegates and the nominee 1 can
make a substantial contribution
and if I can be of more help to

say one. unkind word against
ANY candidate" He urged his
fellow Democrats mot to leave
Chicago divided in bitterness. "
In his personal suite last night
Mr.. Stevenson talked for more
than an hour with Senator Nc
Clellan of Arkansas.
The Senator told reporters he
was mot completely" in agree
ment with Mr.. Stevenson's views
on the court decision. He never
theless commended Mr.. Steven
son as being more considerable
of the South'S problems and
more understanding of them
than is Gov. Hartman"
Senator Mcclellan indicated
that he believes MIR. Stevenson
will be nominated.

In Democratic Platform

promised full prosperity for all
by seeking:
A truly balanced budget, equit-
able tax revision, full parity of
income for agriculture, removal
of the Taft-Hartley law shack
les" from labor and to foster
legitimate business enterprise.
1t promised to expand world
trade, and to enlarge interna-
tional economic cooperation, to-
ward a more prosperous and
peaceful world.
The same plank set a goal of
"a $500 billion national economy,
and an increase of 20 per cent
or better in the average stand
ard of living; an increase of an
|nual income of families below
$4,000. and adequate programs

OUTLAWS based on need, mot per-

die our very survival"
The tax reduction of at least
$40 year, promised last night
in financial policy plank, would
be achieved by raising the per-
Isonal exemption of each tax
payer from $500 to $500. Mem
bers of the platform committee
staff estimated the cost at about
So billion a year in revenue. but
some tax experts have said it
would run to 81 billion or more.

The drafting . subcommittee
also adopted an atomic energy
plank, accusing the administra-
ton OF plunging the Atomic
Energy Commission into partisan
politics.
It charged that, under Re-
publican control, the United
States is tagging behind other
nations in the development of
nuclear electric power plants.

liams, to whom the Michigan
delegation is committed as a IA
vorite son.
Supporters of Mr.. Stevenson
admitted today that their can
didate may not now be able tc
win a first-ballot nomination
among them Col. Jacob Arvey
Democratic National Committee
man of Illinois.
Mr.. Arvey insisted, however
that tevenson undoubtedly
would be nominated. and that it
might come on the second OF
third ballot.
The content of the civil rights
plank may not be known until
tomorrow night, when the con-
Ivention is scheduled to deal with
the platform. The drafting COM
mittee is working feverishly to
bring in civil rights declaration
which will prevent a serious split
in the, party.
Speech Making Resumes
Meanwhile, the convention
drove ahead today with other
business and with another rash
Iof speeches attacking the Re-
publicanS in general and the Eli
lsenhoWer administration in par
lticular. Il opened its third
session with an address by David
"A. Bum of Colorado, president
of the Young Democratic Clubs
of. America. This was followed
by a speech by Mrs. Katie
ILouchheim, director of women's
activities, Democratic National
Committee.
At the conclusion of her adj
dress, Mrs. Louchheim led
"a forum on Our American
Home and the People In 1t, !"
with seven Democratic women
members of Congress taking part.
They were Representatives Edna
F. Kelly of New York, Leonore
K. Sullivan of Missouri. Oracle
Pfost of Idaho. Edith Green OF
Oregon, Martha w. Griffith OF
Michigan, Coya Knutson OF
Minnesota and Iris F. Bitch OF
Georgia.
Mrs. Louchheim, opening this
woman'S hour at the convention,
told the delegates there are two
million more women in America
than men.
I'm this campaign" she said
in a prepared talk pledging the
the support of the Democratic
women, you are going to see
more of us, hear more of us and
Iget more help from us than ever
before" There are, she con-
tinued, more than $50 women
taking part in the convention.
Most of the doorbells. she said,
will be rung by women in the
drive for Democratic victory
in the fall.
"You will hear many stories
of our devotion to the cause,
Mrs. Louchheim said. like that
of the precinct committeewoman
who was heard to tell her a
year-old: If you must get lost,
do it around that row of new
houses so I can canvass while
I'm looking for you"

self
Despite the fact Senator John
son is a Southerner and nc
Southerner has been nominated
by the Democrats for President
since the Civil War, it is be-
lieved the Texan may try for
the nomination.
Among those States mentioned
to take part in this holding OPP
Grafton are South Carolina, Vir-
ginia, Georgia. Mississippi, Ar
kansas and Tennessee. The
Tennessee delegation, however,
has been considered safely in
the Stevenson camp. Both Gov.
Clement and Senator Kefauver
support Mr.. Stevenson. Such an
operation as suggested would be
difficult in the extreme. Nor is
there, in the opinion of observ-
ers here, any likelihood that
Senator johnson could win the
nomination.
No Change, Johnson Says
Senator johnson told reporters
today there is no change regard
ing his own presidential can
didacy. He reiterated that the
Texas delegation would stand by
him, and he added he believed
that delegates in some other
States also would vote for him.
mo one has offered me any
deal" Senator johnson said. His
statement was intended to reply
to published reports that he
might be offered the vice presi-
dental nomination if he would
throw his support to this or
that presidential candidate.
He said that he would not try
to swing the Texas delegation.
The Senator insisted he
was not going out seeking dele
gates. He said he had declined
to attend four delegate caucuSes
to which he had been invited
yesterday.
He still put the party platform
first. And he added that he
hoped that civil rights plank
acceptable to all segments Of the
party could be drafted.
Reuther Backs Stevenson
Walter Reuther, president of
the United Auto Workers Union,
last night swung his support to
Mr.. Stevenson. 1t had been re-
ported previously he would do so.
Mr.. Reuther's support should be
. a real asset in this convention,
where nearly 100 of the CLIO
union members are delegates.
Mr.. Reuther. himself, is not a
delegate. He made his announce
ment at reception for Mr.. Ste
venson staged by George Harri-
son, president of the Railway
Clerks Union and chairman of
the Democratic Party's Labor
Advisory Committee. He yields
q werful influence in the
Michigan delegation. which has

Still claiming more than 600
votes and still predicting victory
not later than the second ballot
Stevenson campaign managers
scheduled an intensive round OF
other public visits and closed
door conferences with leaders
and members of doubtful or split
delegations:
Seven members Of the Mary
land delegation conferred with
Mr.. Stevenson this morning, but
later refused even to identify
themselves to newsmen.
When they entered the Stew
enson headquarters. they de-
clined to answer any questions
at all, even to admit that they
belonged to the Maryland dele
cation. Later, they said only
that I'VE have absolutely no
comment"
Meetings Add Spice
Mr.. Stevenson'S meetings yes
terday with Senator Kefauver as
we'll as Senator johnson, the tall
Texan who might have a lot to
say about who gets the conven-
TONS first prize, added spice and
stress to the stepped-up efforts
of the Stevenson camp today.
Senator johnson and Mr..
Stevenson refused to. detail the
range or devisiveness of their
Ihour-long conversation. From
Jail appearances, however. there
was no commitment by the
Texas Senator to help anyone
except himself at this point in
the proceedings. ~
The new Stevenson" from a
public relations standpoint, was
most evident late in the day
when he packed a real punch
in a question and answer period
after his talk to the Wisconsin
delegates. He denounced critics
who complained he was no
fighter and no campaigner and
was ambiguous in stating his
views.
Yet. despite some rubbing of
Mr.. Hartman at several dele
cation meetings earlier yester-
day, he deplored what he called
attempts to "demean" various
Democratic aspirants at the con-

Rayburn Replies on Texas
Speaker Sam Rayburn, Texas
"Mr. Democra t." questioned
about the Lyndon johnson can
didacy, replied that the Texas
delegation will stay with its
Senator as long as Senator john
son wants it to. He also said:
Il see no chance of a Hartman
nomination"
The Speaker suggested that,
should a real deadlock occur
over the presidential nomination,
Senator Stuart Symington of
Missouri would have a chance. "
Senator John L. Mcclellan of
Arkansas expects a Stevenson
nomination-but, he added, if
the convention should take five
ballots without his nomination.
and a deadlock becomes appar-
ent, then Senator Symington
might come into picture as a
compromise candidate.
Senator johnson, the crux of
the Southern problem for Mr..
Stevenson, conferred with the
former Illinois Governor for an
hour yesterday. but would not
comment on candidates. when he
came out.
The delegates at last nights
session had a chance to look over
two potential candidates for the
vice presidential nomination,
Senator John F. Kennedy of
Massachusetts and Gov. Clement
of Tennessee. There was favor
able comment from delegates on
Senator Kenndy's narration" in
