angrily charged Mr.. Nixon with

of indifference"
The Tennessee keynoter'S al.
fusion to the Top Man was {
clear indication that what the
Democrats call 1.-THE part-timt
presidency" will be a major part
of the battle this fall.
President Eisenhower, Mr.
Clement declared. is "a genial
glamorous and affable general
and a front man for "a discred-
tied, defunct party"
Side illusions indicated, too
that the Presidents health would
come into the picture, despite
the fact that Gov. Clement said
of Mr.. Eisenhower, mo God
fearing Democrat wishes for him
anything less than the best OF
health and the greatest of hap
pinesS."
Singled Out for Attacks
Also singled out for blistering
attacks were the Presidents
press secretary, James C. Hag-
Ierty; Secretary of Defense Will
son. Secretary of State Dulles
and Secretary Of Agriculture
Benson.
In Gov. Clements words, the
G o. P. is the party of privilege
and pillage with Sordld
record of broken promises and
unredeemed pledges. !. A party
that substituted for the Demo-
cratic triple-A. the Republican

Democrats have had since Will

speech. How long, oh America

recurrent theme as he called
for Democratic victory.
WhOOping Windup
In a whooping windup in
which he likened the late Cordell
Hull to a young David, he called
on Democrats to raise our hands
toward heaven" and to chant lin
unison the hymn of inevitable
victory:
Precious Lord, Take Our
Hand. Lead Us On"
The fighting keynote speech
was the high point of the con-
ventions second session, the first
having been an organization
meeting which began almost on
the dot of noon. Mr.. Clements
appearance followed a keynote

narrated by Senator John F..

Clements 3 Sons
Him on TV

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Aug. IA
R.-The three young sons of
Gov. Clement of Tennessee were
proud but not unduly impressed
as they watched their father
keynote the Democratic National
Convention last night.
Robert, -. Frank, jr., 6, and
Gary. Sand their dog, Inky-
watched Gov. Clement from a
strategic position on the floor
in front of the television set at
the Executive Mansion here.
The boys watched attentively
and occasionally would nod
agreement. Once Robert and
Gary stood up and gestured in
support. And once Robert said,
i've heard him say that be-
fore"
At the end Frank summed up
the reaction: He was real good. :"

its photography and Story-line
made clear that here was nc
non-partisan Hollywood froth.
Frankly Propaganda
The movie, frankly a Demo
cratic propaganda film and ad-
mittedly designed for whipping
up pro-Democratic sentiment in
the weeks to come, was con-
ceived and produced by the
Committee for the Arts Of the
Democratic National Committee
Its six-man stable of writer's in
lcluded Senator Kennedy, author
of "Profiles in Courage" anc
Arthur Schlesinger. jr., historian
and Democratic Party philoSo-
Ipher.
In politics, the film was pure
Democrat; in presentation, pure
Hollywood. Its closing moments
included the voice of Franklin
d Roosevelt. saying Il propose
to sail ahead. For. to reach port
we must sail, sail. not lie al
MISUNDERSTANDING drift"
Another feature of the first
days sessions was a speech by
the dowager queen of the Demo-
cratic Party. Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt. A focal-point of at
tention here since she held a
press conference in support of
Adlai Stevenson shortly after
former President Truman came
lout for Averell Hartman, Mrs.
Roosevelt was greeted by pro-
Ilonged applause.
Urges Moderate Approach
In a 15-minute speech. Mrs.
Roosevelt urged by implication
a moderate approach to the civil
rights question facing the plat
form committee currently and
soon to come before the con-
Ivention.
I'VE must be a united party.
1T is true we have differences.
but everywhere in this country
we know that our differences
must be resolved. We are on
trial today to show the world
what democracy means, because
today the world is split between
democracy and communism, and
democracy means freedom and
communism means slavery"
Wearing a pale blue silk dress
with black figures and a few
IbrilliantS around the neckline.
three strands of small pearls and
Ia royal blue hat with circles of
pink and yellow flowers, Mrs.
Roosevelt sported a large "Adlai"
button, signifying her allegiance
to former Gov. Stevenson of
Illinois.
Must Look Ahead
Without explaining the reason
for her remark. Mrs. Roosevelt
went on to say. Our party may
be the Oldest Democratic party,
but it must live as a young party
with young leadership. 1t must
take into account the advice of
its elders. but it must have the
courage to look ahead"
To many listeners, this seemed
a reference to two circumstances.
Mr.. Stevenson, whom Mrs.
Roosevelt supports, is SIS: Gov.
Averell Hartman of New York.

Amphitheater Packed
The evening session was the
pep-talk phase of the convention,
and as such was well attended
and closely followed by the
crowd that packed the 1000
seat amphitheater in the heart
of Chicago'S Stockyards.
| The first session, by contrast,
was a wrap-up of preliminarieS,
and a large proportion of the
delegates failed to attend. Those
who did show up paid less at
tention to what was happening
on the rostrum than to what
was happening on the floor
around them. Chit-chat, politi-
cal wheeling and dealing, and
lmpromptu press conferences
were the order of the day ses-
sion.
Democratic National Chairman
Paul M. Butler set what he
hopes will be a pattern of
promptnesS for future sessions
when. at 1908 PM. yesterday,
he banged a gavel to call the
meeting to order. 1t had been
generally anticipated that the
sessions would follow an age
old precedent of starting about
half an hour late, with the re-
suit that probably no more than
ESQ of $500 delegates were i in
their seats at the scheduled
starting hour of noon. Is.
Progress Drags pet
Despite Mr.. Buffers high hopes
Tor promptness throughout the
convention, the schedule did not
go off so well at night. Yester-
day afternoon. Democratic Ma
tional Committee convention
headquarters published an elabo-
rate schedule charting the prog
ress of the session minute by
minute from the invocation at
1903 to the final item on the
agenda - miscellaneous resolu-
tionS"-from 1911 to 1920 pm.
1t didn't work out that way.
The evening session gavel did
not bang until nearly 20 minutes
after the appointed time. But
the prompt start in the after
noon had its effect, and even
20 minutes late was considerably
better than par. Far more seats
were filled at the sessions OPEN
ing than had been occupied at
noon.
The entire first session. from
gavel to gavel, took only hour
and IS minutes. including OPEN
ing exercises. welcoming speeches
and committee appointments.
Nevertheless, a lot of necessary
spadework-plus a good deal of
the necessary ritual of conven-
tion-was accomplished in that
brief period.
Outline of Session
Here is a gavel-to-gavel out
line of the afternoon session:
The convention was opened by
Mr.. Butler, and an invocation
was spoken by the Rev. Robert
X. Bell. head of the Protestant
Church Federation of Greater
Chicago.
1.-The Star Spangled Banner"
was sung by Johnny Desmond,
following which Mr.. Butler

crowd in the International Am
phitheater roared and cheered
while Gov. Clement made it clear
that few if any holds would be
barred in the next two and a
half months.
He outlined the Democratic
charges against the Eisenhower
administration in an 'indict-
ment" of developments in Wash
ington since 1858. In a sum-
mary count" Gov. Clement
accused the G. o. P. of activities
designed to give away the God
given resources of America
ITO forget the farmer, while
catering to the corporate in
tereSts--
ITO liquidate the gains of
labor
TO sacrifice the small bust
nessman while substituting his
corporate competitor
ITO delegate the duties OF the
Presidency
"To tighten the tax load on the
few, while the living costs Of
the many continue to mount
ITO prevent power from being
the property of the people
ITO follow a fantastic. frantic
and fatal foreign policy
ITO callously, circuitously and
contemptuously counteract and
nullify acts and intent of Con-
greSS-
And otherwise to breach the
faith. the trust, and the conf
dence of the American people,"
Though the Democratic key
noter characterized the opening
sessions of this years convention
as being conducted lin a healthy,
happy, harmonious mood he
took note of the No. l problem
of the Democrats at this meet
ing. the question of civil rights.
LET the South remember
that whatever rights have been
in question, old man history has
proved conclusively that the
G. o. P. has never given the
South anything but a hard way
to CO." he said.
The Governor, who is fire.
quently mentioned as a possible
vice presidential candidate, saved
some of his harshest words for
the man he might succeed next
January. Referring repeatedly

May Give Federal Emergency E Aid
to Geauga Farmers Hit by Storms

a disaster area to expedite fed
eral relief
FILA ais would be in the form
of three per cent interest loans
up to five years to purchase
hay and grain. To be eligible
the farmer must prove at least
a 25 per cent loss of a major
crop.
Another form of FILA help lets
the farmer buy feed grains at
81 a hundredWeight below the
prevailing market price.
Another suggestion was that
a direct federal grant be sought
similar to a ST million ALLEGATION
last week for farmers in Texas,
where the problem is drought.
There, farmers will be given
$3.50 a ton to buy hay.
In the Ohio disaster belt, Sor-
enson was told, farmers wi h
ready cash might last out the
winter, but smaller, poorer
farmers are already on the
verge of extinction.
Paul Kaser, state hydrologist,
said fields in the northeast area
had been saturated with rain be-
yond their capacity since early
spring, with the exception OF
a few DAYS in early July.
