WELL, ‘MY FIRST political ‘convention is pehind me. Yes, sir, I was there, listened intently as long as I could, got. thoroughly mixed up at the proceedings and finally threw my hands up and decided to put my faith and trust in. the “American way” and let it go at that, My initial glimpse of the packed Coliseum fmprested me. (“Just imagine,” I sald to myself secretly, “all these big. shots are doing this for me, the voter, the place where all this stems from.” You can imagine how good it feels to pe a voter. : ! 2 My program informed me tie convention was to convene at 10 a. m. At half past the starting hour, someone announced over the public address system, “We're a little late.” ; Who cared?: The orchestra way up near the roof was playing fine music, delegates and guests in the gallery were chatting merrily and everyone ed 'to be having a good time. It's a privilege to wait half an hour to see democracy in action.
i Listened and Listened ..."
THE FLOOR of the Coliseum looked like a stand of virgin timber, Each county «had a marker high on top of a new piece of one by two lumber. The only thing. that spoiled the effect of a young forest of good ol' American timber was the puffs of cigar and cigaret smoke that rolled up at regular intervals. At times it looked as if a forest fire was raging. 1 waited another half hour for my countrymen to swing into action. Another one of the “boys” announced to the delegates, “We have a lot of pusiness to transact—let's get going. Will the delegates please take their seats.”

SARMIENTO, Argentina, June 14--If I had money—oh, say a million or so—I would sure buy me a farm down here, and hire Don Salvader Bondia to run it, Salvador is the major-domo of the Estancia la Elisa, which is about the purest piece of real estate I ever did see.. The estancia is one of several owned by a big industrialist in Buenos Aires. It is a rich man's plaything, I suppose; except that it pays off. That is probably Pon Salvador’s fault. If you ever saw 2 man enamored of the soil, to the exclusion of everything else, Salvador is the man. He is a Spaniard, 28 years old, who has lived most of his life in Argentina. He looks something like Tyrone Power, except he isn't pretty. His face looks as if it had been etched in steel, and if you stuck one of those old Spanish fore-and-aft helmets on his head,-he could pass for a young Cortez. - Bondia is the master of the big ranch. Even when ifs rich owners come out to play for a week-end, Salvador is the bossman. He knows every inch of the ground, and has sentimental feeling for every grain of wheat and eorn. There is nothing his peons can do that he can't do better. He has a cellege education in ranching, and a practical experience that far outweighs the booklarnin’, ;
Hogs Live Luxurious Life
THE ESTANCIA specializes in hogs, a dairy. park. Every tree was hand-planted, forming a, herd of Holsteins, horses—naturally—and assorted green oasis in the huge, treeless, flat Savannah-! beef herds of crossbred Angus, Hereford, Short- land. There are eucalyptus, American oak, ever-
horns: It: raises corn; ‘wheat, sunflower seed, lin. sufficient. It has its own school, but doesn't fret much about religion. <0 A Catholic brotherhood of Irish fathers come by once a year, and compresses a year's religious instruction into three weoks. In addition to tenant farmers and 230 steady ranch hands, Salvador runs the place with a cook, a couple of maids; a general assistant, and a few sub-formen; such as the. vice presidents in charge of pigs, horses, grain, cows and of sobering up the

That, however, is pure conjecture on my part since I was where all good voters were, high in the ‘gallery and a bit awed at the spectacle.

WASHINGTON, June 14—High among the temporary rafters which keep their rusty iron roof from crashing down on the ears of the Congressmen is a tin box the size and shape of a coffin, It's painted a funeral gray, This 1s a loudspeaker designed to broadcast the words of fhe statesmen to the far corners of the chamber, ‘And, oh, oh. The noise that's cascading out of it in these final, restless days of the 80th Congress “is enough to send the gentlemen below looking for their earmuffs. I haven't heard such a racket since I réde on the Maid of the Mist under Niagara Falls, The loud-speaker was bellowing and shrieking as a succession of gentlemen barked into the mictophone their views of the bill to allow 200,000 displaced persons at German concentration camps to move into the United States. All over the vast room knots of their fellow lawgivers added to the din with conversations of their own, and there was Rep. George A. . Dondero of Michigan in the chair, banging two" gavels slternately and threatening and pleading in turn with the statesmen to shut their mouths. Bang, bang, bang! I don't know what was the cause of the confusion, maybe the boys had spring fever. Perbaps they were thinking up new names to call President Truman.
Ignored Pounding Gavel
“WILL: THE members kindly refrain from .~ 8udible conversation,” said the courtly Rep. Donderp. He thumped one of his yellow hickory gavels on his mahogany sounding board. The members ignored him. : i “The longer we delay, the’ longer we'll be here tonight,” he reminded them, They shushed slightly and a succession of lawgivers tried to troduce amendments which would let assorted
of Europeans into the country. The
ignored him. - They also ignored Rep. John Davis Lodge of Connecticut, who hoped he could persuade them to allow the immigration jof 18,000 patriotic Poles. 2 Rep. John Lesinski of Michigan thought he could foil the noise by being louder still, He shouted at the top of his lungs into the ma- | chinery and what came out was concentrated decibels sounding something liké a locomotive starting a coal train up a hill
Bang, Bang, Bankety-Bang
“A POINT of order,” screamed Rep. Clare Hoffman of Michigan. ‘““The amplifier is up so high we can't hear anything.” ~ The engineer turned down the power; the abashed Rep. Lesinski muted his vocal cords, and still Rep. Hoffman couldn't hear because now only a whisper from the overhead coffin competed with the uproar of the gentiémen. The chairman had to give his gavels another workout before Rep, John Rankin of Mississippi, the speech-makingest man in the House, shouted his opinion that the German camps ‘were full of Communists, waiting to infiltrate into America. bY v a ‘a Came his understudy, Rep. John Bell Wil liams, also of Mississippi, to echo. the words - of the white-maned Mr. Rankin.apd to add: “Even if they all were Baptist preachers over
