Rusty Convention Machinery
The point has been made that the con-
vention system of choosing our presidential
nominees must be a good one if it can pro-
duce two such men as Stevenson and Eis-
enhower.
That's like saying that because a brok-
en-down. ill-equipped gun factory, power-
ed by n water wheel and manned by
gnomes, turns out a gun that will .shoot
now and then, it is a good factory.
What seems more likely is that good
presidential material is chosen in spite of
conventions and not because of'them. Wit-
ness the several men who have gone to the
White House to live for four years with lit-
tle more to recommend them than that
they were ready and willing.
And what about the impression made
by the farcically frivolous aspects of a
convention on a television audience of
voters who afe attentive mainly to the se-
rious business of chposing nominees and
platforms? \ i, ■
The horseplay and time-killing and
pulling and hauling are something people
watching a convention will put up with be-
cause, up to now, those elements of the
proceedings have been accepted as some-
how traditional.
But that acceptance was before the
chilly eye of television brought to millions
of people, remote from Chicago and per-
sonally unwarmed by its holiday spirit,
what actually goes on at a convention.
Now. a lot of people are wondering if
our president-making machinery couldn’t
do with some overhauling and moderniza-
tion in keeping with the times, of which
the spirit is serious and the byword effic-
iency.
If conventions got their job done in a
completely open manner-j^simply, direct-
ly, easy to see, and reflecting thoroughly
the will of the people, it would he one
thing.
, But a lot of people left their television
sets groggily after Stevenson was nomi-
nated, wondering just what happened to
Kefauver. The last a lot of people knew,
the gentleman from Tennessee was nicely
placed and moving well. Then the track
caved in. ! •
Some of the souped-up demonstrations
.for. favorite sons lent an unbecoming car-
nival aspect to a show which at its best
took on at times the aspects of a high-*
grade circus. To many people watching
such goings on in the quiet of their dark-
ened living rooms, it was just simply em-
barrassing.
The same goes for a lot of the moss-
laden style of oratory—long on arm wav-
ing and yelling and short on common
sense. For their own political well-being,
in this day of television, such speakers
should be curbed. Lacking conviction and
thought, such oratory taints the whole
proceedings with that same defeat.
The interminable roll calls of individ-
ual delegations could kill interest in an
ascent of Niagara Falls. That they, and
some of the other stumbling aspects of the
conventions, killed the interest of millions
of televiewers is illustrated by a fact or
two.
The Republican convention had a night-
time TV rating of only 36 in New York
City, for instance, which is poor. “I Love
Lucy” does better, and it has competition,
which for the most part the conventions
did not. ............

ported the lack of flavor, especially in quirk-froz-
en fruits, is “very noticeable.”)
“The team is of the opinion that this is be-
cause the original fresh products lack flavor com-
pared with our own,” their report says. “This is
reflected in the jam made, from them.”
However, the report goes on: “The pickle in-
dustry in the United Kingdom can not be compar-
ed with that in the United States. In the U. K.
the demand is varied, with the emphasis on onions,
picalilli and sweet pickles, whereas the overwhelm-
ing demand in the United States is for gherkins."
The groups found that Anterieans consume
twice as much canned foods as they do.
“Everything is done to tempt the housewife,'
the Britishers say. “The American housewife ar-
rives at the store whenever it suits her (the late
evening is a very popular time), and in some dis-
tricts the largest stores are open 24 hours a dpy,
seven days a week, parks her car, enters the store
by n turnstile and helps herself to a ‘buggy.’ The
housewife pushes the buggy around the store help-
ing herself from the shelves and, incidentally, col-
lecting very often considerably more than she
originally set out to buy.s’ - ' ' '
American industry is ahead of the British in
its readiness to apply research results to industrial
usei the report says, adding: “Managements ev-
erywhere are keen to try out the latest discoveries
and developments and to adapt them to their use
at the earliest possible moment.”
The groups were also impressed with the “very
high standard of clennliness and hygiene” in all
factories visited and found “the industry caters to
an ever-growing demand actuated by the increas-
ing reliance which the American public places on
items of food which can be purchased in conven-
ient form for immediate consumption <vr stored for
future use.”

BROADWAY
By MARK BARRON
Associated Press Writer
New York-s-What encourages
the discouraged young actors who
find it so difficult to get a start on
the Broadway stage is such actors
as Jerome Thor. Now an establish-
ed player in stage dramas and also
the -*tar of such television pack-
ages as “Foreign Intrique”, Thor
became an actor because he un-
expectedly won a scholarship.
With a friend, an aspiring ac-
tor, Thor wandered into New
York’s noted Neighborhood Play-
house one day when there was an
audition under way to award a
dramatic scholarship. Being that
he was there, Thor entered the
contest too, against 400 otlher
hopefuls, and the scholarship was
his.
Broadway has had, and still has,
some famous bachelors. Rut the
dean of great unmarried men un-
doubtedly is drama critic George
Jean Nathan. And he gives the
first definition of “bachelor” I
have heard other than the"diction-
ary which says simply that a
“bachelor” is.“a novice in arms,"
or "a man who has not married."
Rut, Nathan’s definition goes fur-
ther than this. ,
He says that "Even the name
‘bachelor’ is a corruption of the
Latin ‘baccalarious’ which meant
a lonely coward/’

All the fight in the delegates was taken out of them by the previous
midnight battle over Michigan Sen. Blair Moody's pledge of oyii y.
After the Resolutions Committee chairman. Rep. John ^

Before that, however, Chairman McCormack had worn down his

The result of this is apparent in contracting the civil rights *nd
other sections of Republican and Democratic platforms. -
In the GOP document, both sides on any controversial question
were allowed to get In some language that met their differing points
of view. This contributed to lack of clarity and even apparent con-
tradictions. In the Democratic platform, an effort was made to find
language that both sides would accept.
Best example of this was on the civil rights planks. The north-
erners wanted a compulsory Fair Employment Practices Commission
whose decrees would be enforceable by federal law. Southerners,
sticking to their states’ rights doctrine, would have none of this.
So what came out was a plank calling for “all citizens ... to have
equal opportunities . . . for economic advancement." It doesn’t men*
tion FEPC. It doesn't mention “federal enforcement." It doesn’t
praise President Truman for his courageous stand on the issue of civil
rights, as the 1948 platform did. So the southerners bought It.
A SIMILAR compromise in language Was hammered out by the
' ‘ Democrats on New York Sen. Herbert Lehman’s demand for a
change in the Senate rules to permit the ending of filibusters by
simple majority. The South wanted none of that.
The compromise worked out says simply, “. . . “We urge that action
be taken at the beginning of the 83rd (the next) CongresSjto Improve
congressional procedures so that majority rule prevails djU decisions
can be made after reasonable debate without being backed by a
minority in either house.”
The man given most credit for ironing out these compromise* is
Sen. John J. Sparkman of Alabama, considered a liberal Democrat
on most issues. He nevertheless respects the southern point of view
on all civil rights questions. J ....
The new’ platform represents a tremendous concession by the south-
erners. At one point in the closed drafting committee meetings, Paul
Fitzpatrick, New York state chairman, observed that he had heard
nothing but concessions from the South. He thought the Yankees
ought to give up something, too. It was this point of view that
finally quieted the Lehman-Humphrey extremists.
