Battle Royal Behind the Scenes

use of campaign funds, but
merely money for publicity
and for scouts who go from
State to State to win the
regular organization men to
a candidates side. The Ken
nedy organization is one Of
the most extensive the Ma
tion has ever seen in a pre-
convention contest in the
Democratic Party. Intense ac-
tivity of this kind is usually
observed in the. Republican
ranks, where rival candidates
with plenty of financial back
ing often fight one another.
So, fundamentally, it be-
comes a struggle between the
veterans in Congress who
favor Senator johnson and
those factions of the local Or
ganizations which are headed
by Governors friendly to the
candidacy of the Massachu-
sets Senator.
In this battle royal no
other candidate appears to-
today to have a chance. If
Senator Kennedy doesn't
make it in three ballots, the
nomination would naturally
go to the Senate's majority
leader. This correspondent
still believes that Senator
Kennedy is ahead and has
the momentum to come close
to winning on the second
ballot, but that the ground
swell for Lyndon johnson.
which has been growing ever
since the international stu
alton became acute in re-
cent weeks, has taken on a
new significance.
More \and more State
leaders, especially members
of Congress on the Demo-
cratic side, are saying pri-
vately that they believe the
country will be much more
likely to elect a man with the
maturity and legislative ex-
perience of Senator john
son than to take a chance
on the youth and relative
ineXperience of the Massa-
chusetts Senator. AS for a
johnson Kennedy ticket
well, that's the one the Dem
ocratic politicians today will
tell you would be a real vote
getter as against a Nixon
Lodge ticket on the Repub-
lican side.

Governors Are Being Cautious

Collins, who will be perma-
nent chairman of the con-
vention, said that if too
many delegations seemed to
want to switch their votes be-
fore the end of the first bal
lot, he thought they might
terminate it and go on to an
other ballot. This he de-
scribed as applying "the rule
of reason"
1t will not seem quite like
that to front-runner Ken
nedy. as Collins will doubt
less learn quickly.
Brown disclosed that he
would see Stevenson this
week end in California. Stew

nominated, and he must
clearly be launched from
California If the launching

There is also the problem of
his role at the convention.

cause they do not have an

At the same time. Butler
has held back on assigning

tions on the ground that
Stevenson is a candidate.
1t will be put to the chair
man that he cannot have it
both ways, though probably
not by Stevenson. Brown said
he felt the Butler position
unfair in both instances.

in attack, but he also knew
the value of training and
discipline. The Confederacy
had three brilliant cavalry
leaders, j. e. B. Stuart, Ma
than Bedford Forrest and
Wheeler. Military scholars
give the edge to Stuart in
delicacy of touch and vision.
Forrest had a lethal sim
'plicity of action that per-
haps surpassed Wheeler at
his best, but the latter
yielded to none in dogged ag-
greSsiveness and reliability.
In the last two years of the
war Wheeler's troopers, who
had existed almost as parti-
sans, lacking any support or
supply, earned a bad name.
They we're feared and hated
almost as much, if not more,
than Sherman's bummers
because of their ruthless
foraging. They had to live
off their own people and they
were not polite about taking
what they wanted.
General Wheeler was one
Of the youngest of the Con-
federate officers. In early
1900 he served in the Phil
ippineS and was only 81
when he died in September
of that year. Civil War ad-
diets may wish to know he
was the only Confederate
corps commander who held
that same position in the
United States Army after
1865. All Daiquiri drinkers

Tocticions for Kennedy and Johnson

Senate in order to secure CO.
operation from certain DEM
ocratic State delegations.
This has been Indignantly
denied by Senator Johnson
himself. 1t is significant,
however, that the Michigan
Governor made the COM
plant at all. 1t shows that
the johnson strength is be-
ginning to penetrate the
State organizations supposed
to be for Senator Kennedy.
Now, on the opposite side
of the political arena, the
Kennedy forces are lined
up. These comprise organiza-
tions, both new and old, in
every State. There are in
them members of Congress
who may be outwardly
friendly to the Massachu-
sets Senator and indeed may
have announced publicly
their support for him. But
privately many may be flirt-
ing with the johnson camp.
Thus, in New York State,
Carmine de Sapio, Tammany
leader, who is pledged pub
licly to support the Kennedy
banner says significantly
that Mayor Wagner's name
has not been withdrawn as
a possible nominee for the
the vice presidency. Now, it
is obviously impractical for
the Democratic ticket to be
Kennedy and Wagner" For
both are Catholics and both
come from the East.
The custom is to pick a
Vice President from some re-
gion other than the one in
which the top of the ticket
happens to live. So it must be
that Mayor Wagner's name
is being advanced as a pos
Sible running mate for Sem
ator johnson. To put some
one who is a Northerner and
a Catholic on the Johnson
ticket is politically logical.
1t would, for instance, refute
talk that the Texan was OPP
posed to a man with Mayor
Wagner's liberal" back
ground.
The Kennedy strategists
have the benefit of an early
start and plenty of money.

tion was made when the
Chinese invented gGnpowder.
1t is just about as true today
as it was then. Weapons,
however, will be used when
ever their use is of import
ance to one or the other of
the belligerentS.
Thus disarmament con-
ferences today bear the same
relationship to reality as did
that of The Hague in 1899,
and those of the long "armis-
tice" Of l919-1939. Disarma-
ment, as a subject, is a device
Of international politics.
When Nikita Khrushchev
proposes total and universal
disarmament, he does so sin
cerely indeed, because almost
nothing could benefit the
course of world communism
more, nor injure the cause of
freedom more, than precisely
that.
To talk seriously of dis
armament before the major
political questions of the cold
war are settled, or at least
contained, is to waste the
time of statesmen and delude
the hopes of humanity.
If all the ornaments of the
entire world were to be to-
tally destroyed in the next six
months, man would be still
ready to fight. He could bat
tie with sticks and stones, but
he would not. Modern tech
nology would be hard at work
preparing new and more de-
vaStating weapons even be-
fore the destruction of the
present ones had been
achieved.
Certainly, disarmament
would be a noble achieve
ment. But in the present
condition of the world, it
would achieve absolutely
nothing. 1t is important that
all of us, everywhere, rid
ourselves of the illusion that
arms cuts would be possible,
effective, or peacemaking.

All Drinkers of Popular Cocktail
Owe Gen. Wheeler and Men q Toast

Advent of the Civil War
Centennial has all the Bluffs
busy with digging up little
known stories of their favor
ite characters in that bloody
drama. But as far as I know,
none has bestowed proper
credit on Fighting Joe Wheel
er and his U. S. Cavalry divi-
sion for inventing the Dali
quiri cocktail.
To be sure, the invention
did not grow out of the Civil
War, but it did emerge from
the Wheeler command. After
1865 Fighting Joe" was one
of the more earnest workers
among those seeking to heal
the wounds of the Civil War
and create a more perfect
union. He was nationally rec
ognized in this role and when
the war with Spain came
along President Mckinley
appointed him a major gen.
eral of volunteers.
Joe Wheeler accepted with
alacrity. This did not en-
dear him to Southern die
hards and there was consid-
erable criticism of Little Joe,
much of it harsh. 1t worried
him not at all. He had al
ways had a martial itch and
he proceeded to be as active
for the Stars and Stripes as
he had been for the Stars
and Bars.
Legend has it that one of
the officers in Little Joe's
Confederate command said,
when he saw his old leader
in the blue uniform, Joe, I
hope I die and go to hell

to be there and see Beaure-

Kennedy" When he met the
press here. Gov. Brown had
only fair words for all, and
when it was suggested that
he did not seem to be leaning
quite so much at this point,
he replied: That's the i'm
preston I am trying to
create" .....
The chairman Of an 81
vote delegation to be called
early in the balloting, Brown
did concede that the race
now seemed to him to be be-
tween Sen. John Kennedy
and Stevenson. His personal
choice, he said, was the same.
But he added that other
governors did not find nearly
so much Stevenson sentiment
in their States as he did in
California.
Brown denied that Sen.
Clair Engle had telephoned
him to hold his horses, presi-
dentially speaking, until leg
islation vital to California
had cleared the boards in
Washington. 1t was strictly a
diplomatic denial. The exper-
fenced Engle, veteran of long
House service, knows where
Of he speaks, and Brown is
taking his advice.
Brown also said rather
plaintively that he wanted
the Los Angeles convention
to be interesting and not
just another Jefferson-Jack-
son Day dinner. This hint
that influential Democrats
were concerned about the
dull aspect overtaking what
had promised to be a good
show was confirmed later by
Gov. Leroy Collins of Florida.

DORIS FLEESON

GLACIER NATIONAL
PARK. Mont.-Most Demo-
cratic governors here are
playing down presidential
politics and their personal
preferences for sound and
sensible reasons.
They have been advised by
their congressional colleagues
that Federal legislation i'm
ports Mt to their States will
fare ietter in the adjourn
menl clinches if they take
care not to offend any of the
three senators who are can
didates for President or even
those supporting Adlai Ste
venson.
Obviously, Senate Major
ity Leader Lyndon johnson
is in the best position to
make them pay and pay for
what he might regard as un-
fair tactics. But the others
are not without power in
vital committees, and it also
very often happens in the
adjournment rush that one
or two votes make all the
difference.
Another adjournment fea-
ture is that the bulk of the
load is disposed of by unan-
imous consent, which one nay
vote can hinder. The exper-
fenced voices in Congress
are, therefore, advising DEM
ocratic governors that a soft
answer turneth away wrath
and never more so than now.
A case in point is Gov.
Edmund (Patl Brown of
California, who has been de-
scribed as leaning toward

the actual slashing of mil
. itary establishments during
that period was done with an
eye to the development of
new weapons. Off with the
old, and gain some slight
moral stature in the doing;
on with the new, and be
ready for the next major con-
flict with the latest things
in slaughtering devices.
The ignoble collapse of the
much touted summit con-
ference at Paris last month
serves at least to emphasize,
in cold austerity, the real
facts Of international rela-
tions. Perhaps chief among
these facts is the persistence
of international rivalry and
hostility, a fact that can
never, never, be CLOSED over
by protestations of peaceful
intentions and comradely de-
SireS. .
Certainly it is true that the
people of the world want
peace. Most asSuredly. many
in America believe, without
serious doubt, that the peo-
Piles Of the Soviet Union and
the Communist bloc want
peace. In 1889, the mass of
the people of France and
Britain wanted peace, as no
doubt did the mass of the
people of Germany, whose
lives and families had to pay
the price of conquest.
But war came, and it's in
evitable and fearful conse-
quences. Except that this
time a new element was
added-nuclear devastation
and so terrible was this wea-
pom that even military men
predicted that war was BAN
ished forever by the prospect
of total destruction to both
victor and vanquished alike.
