Convention Becomes Spectacle

LOS ANGELES (UPI) — The Democrats have started behaving like Democrats. Their convention has picked up steam as a spectator sport, thanks to Adlai E. Stevenson, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, the brothers Kennedy and civil rights. And today should produce a howling political carnival as the • delegates set about the task of choosing a presidential nominee. The doldrums of Monday’s session vanished Tuesday night durin® a six-hour meeting that had everything from ear-splitting aerosol horns to a pommeling reception for Stevenson on the crowded convention floor; a lady visitor

crawling crablike down a long concrete stainway in search of a lost shoe; thunder from the Deep South in fruitless opposition to the civil rights section of the platform. Some of the roving television photographers with portable cameras had their first workout in a crowded demonstration, set off by the arrival of Stevenson. One network cameraman bulled through the crowd, baying mournfully at the engineer behind him with a screwcfa-iver, "fix my level, -I’ve gone to triack.’’ Two Wild Ovations A large beehive atop the Utah

state standard spurted a hissing jet of cokmed, compressed air ar the civil rights plank passed by voice vote. Back in the Georgia delegation, men in Confederate garrison caps fruitlessly bellowed "No” to the platform. Gov.. Leroy Collins of Florida was making his debut speech as permanent chairman of the convention when he was drowned out suddenly by (inexplicable applause Collins was flattered, but he knew the speech was not that good. Some of the crowd had spotted Mrs.' Eleanor Roosevelt making her way to what she thought were I her seats in the first balcony. In|

the cellar beneath the rostrum, the teleprompter men realized Collins did not know what was happening. They stuck • note in front of the gadget reeling off his speech text. He sew it in the electronic screen before him and gallantly bade Mrs. Roosevelt welcome. It was a different matter with Stevenson. He arrived during the session to hear the reading of the platform. Collins by this time was becoming accustomed to interruptions and again he halted the proceedings to greet the new arrival. Stevenson tried to sit peaceably with the Illinois delegation, but his supporters were not to be denied. They blew the lid off the arena with a wild aisle-filling demonstration and CbUins invited Stevenson to the platform. After

an agonizing push through the crowd and a forest of senseless microphones trying to pick up his gasps as he was crushed between policemen, Stevenson arrived at the podium to say, "I’ve decided who you are going to nominate—it will be the last survivor.” Sinatr Signs Autographs Frank Sinatra arrived during the reading of the civil rights plarik and signed autographs in front of the California delegation. Sinatra is for Sen. John F. Kennedy and wanders freely about the convention floor as the guest of Peter Lawford, the senator’s brother-in-law. Pat Kennedy Laws or d, the actor’s wife and senator’s sister, showed uo in a red and white ttady-striped dress almost identical with the costumes worn by

the pretty Texas girls promoting the cause of Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson. ? ■ The reading of the platform was illustrated by occasional movies, during which the arena was darkened. This helped clear the aisles, but it played job with a Texas delegate trying to carry five ice cream cones back to his section. The lights went down, he stumbled and when the lights came up again, he had plenty of cones but no ice cream. Sen. Hubert Humphrey, a candidate until recently and now a vice presidential possibility, arrived and created less of a stir than several starlet-type blondes who managed to get around the convention floor with no more credentials than those provided by nature.
