boiled Darkroom politicians who,
in private, have often told me of
the dismay and shame they have
felt about day-by-day political OPP
erations.
Yet both men viii never say out
in the open what they consider to
be the ingredients of good govern
ment. For a tough political oper-
ator, they admit. the worst thing
that can happen is to become
known as a dreamer or idealist.
This contrast between political
idealism and alleged realism was
wildly demonstrated here the
other day by two separate-but
not entirely ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
cal events The Democratic Ma
tionAl Committee held its first
post-election political conference,
And Americans for Democratic
Action made public its program
for the seth Congress.
On the one hand, there were
collection OF political personalities
who pride themselves on being
men Of action. On the other hand,
there were men who are admitted
ly thinking men: the ADAers take
pride in their ability to see beyond
today and into the future.
Much OF the Democratic Party
conference was devoted to argu-
ments over whether National

the 1860 convention should be held,
Chairman Paul Butler should stop
and who was going to dispose OF
the 1885 Stevenson-Kefauver cam

important problems and had to be
dispensed with, in one way or
another.
But they took up 80 much time
and UNDERSIGNED 80 many riffs
within the party ranks that al
most no time was left TO think
ahead 60 the kind Of record the
new liberal" S8th Congress
ought to try 90 make for itself.
Some OF the Democrats seemed
almost ashamed to say out loud
what the party victory meant
or should mean. They aehnowl-
edged that Il was an important
liberal" triumph. But they left
