Democrats in attendance al
Senator Georges farewell din
ner last night were diverted from
the essentially lachrymose theme
Of the proceedings by a pre-
view of the convention, which

Practically all the stars Of

Time for Study
Everyone had an excellent
opportunity during the long
interlude before the speaking tc
study their three leading
avowed contenderS.
Adlai Stevenson, target OF
the autograph hounds and close
packed cameramen, looked rested
and serene. He ate a, hearty
dinner, chatted animatedly with
his partners, Senator Humphrey
and Speaker Sam Rayburn.
On the other side of the pod
ium, Gov. Averell Hartman OF
New York, flanked by Majority
Whip Clements of Kentucky
and National Chairman Paul
Butler, seemed less happy. He
toyed with his plate, looked
sombrely out on the sea of faces
before him.
One place to the right of Gov
Hartman, Senator Estes Kefau-

styled underdog. and seemed
subdued during the hub-bub. He
didn't seem to have much ap-

and day out"
Silver Tray Presented
The dinner closed with the
presentation to the Senator and
Mrs. George of a large silver tray,
on which the names of all Demo-
cratic Senators were inscribed,
and a silver service set.
Senator George began his
acknowledgment in. a light
vein. He said he marveled to
think that Miss Lucy and I have
SO many friends-and so many
well-to-do friends"
Both Mr.. Stevenson and Gov.
Hartman took note of Senator
Georges successful fight in the
Senate this week for the extern
sion of social security benefits
to disabled persons at the age
of so. Gov. Hartman called it
a fitting climax" to the Sena-
tors career.
In his attack on President Eli
senhower, Gov. Hartman also
quoted from the recent book by
Robert j. Donovan, "Eisenhow-
err, the Inside Story" He said it
describes the President as hav-
ing Sin Illustration talked of
starting a new party" in 1858.
The New York Governor said
this showed Mr.. Eisenhower
had no understanding of the
powers and responsibility of the
presidency. Instead of fighting
to be master in his own house,
what did he do? He surrendered
to the Old Guard in his party"
Mr.. Stevenson and Senator
Kefauver spoke of deterioration
in the NATO alliance. Senator
Kefauver said Senator George
has tried to do something about
it, "but what he has done so far
has been only prologue" to what
he will accomplish in his new
assignment.
