. Promise Bigger Show Than GOP
PHILADELPHIA, July 6 (UP) —Democratic Party leaders,
McGrath of Rhode Island, Democratic national chairman, began arriving here today for pre-con-vention meetings. Unlike the early arrivals for the Republican National Convention two weeks ago, however, there was little fanfare to the Democrats’ entrance. The city was too busy reveling in a carnival atmosphere stage by some 18,000 visitors to the Elks national convention. The Democrats may have to take a back seat now, but next week they promised to put on an even bigger show than the Republicans and Elks combined, They pointed out that they have more than 1000 more delegates than the Republicans to the respective national conventions.

SNUBS POLITICS—The final "no" given by Gen. Dwight D Eisenhower as a presidential candidate on the Democratic ticket has upset the apple cart of anti-Truman forces. They are “combing the haystack” for another hopeful.”

was en route to the White House today from Bolivar, Mo., where he and President Romulo Gallegos of Venezuela participated in the dedication of a statue of Simon Bolivar, national hero of Venezuela. Mr. Truman's only public reference to politics yesterday was in a rear platform appearance at Springfield, Mo.,, when a local dentist gave him a silver-plated Gerthan pistol. When someone in the crowd suggested that he might use it "at the convention,” the President said he did not think that would be necessary. He said he would “wait for the campaign.” Mr. Truman put in a hard day at Bolivar yesterday. With the mercury pushing 110 degrees in the sun, he went through a long ceremony involved in the presentation of the Bolivar statue. The sun was almost hot enough to melt the statue. More than 40 spectators collapsed from the heat. Gov. Phil Donnelly of Missouri was one of those stricken. President Gallegos got so hot he detached himself from the party at lunchtime and took a cold bath in a building on the campus of the Southwest Baptist College. Brig. Gen. Wallace Graham,

much and that they have a fair chance of gaining a few Senate seats. Since the Republican victory in 1946, the Senate has been divided between 51 Republicans and 45 Democrats—counting Sen. Glen H. Taylor of Idaho, now identifled with Henry A. Wallace's party, as a Democrat. The Democrats would need to hold those they have and gain four to win a majority. 83 Seats at Stake There will be 33 Senate seats at stake in the November election. Of those, 15 now are held by Democrats and 11 are in the South, where Republicans are given little chance of displacing Democrats. Outside the South, the only Democratic seats at stake are in Rhode Island, Colorado, Montana and New Mexico. The Democrats believe they have a better than even chance of hanging on: to those seats, although Sen, James E. Murray is reported facing serious trouble in Montana. Some of them concede, how-|
in the presidential contest could knock Democrats out of some of those four - seats. Four Fair Chances Democratic hopes of picking up additional seats aie based on the assumption that the presidential election outside the South may be close. If it is, they think they have a fair chance to win seats now held by Republicans from West Virginia, Kentucky, Oklahoma and Wyoming. Those Republicans include Sens. Chapman Revercomb, of West Virginia, John Sherman Cooper, of Kentucky, and Edward V. Robertson, of Wyoming, all candidates for re-election, and Sen. Edward Moore, of Oklahoma, who is not a candidate.
