Factionalism Over Truman § Shatters Unity

City Bosses Likely To Pull Punches

By CHARLES T. LUCEY | Scripps-Howard Staff Writer i WASHINGTON, July 8—The| clawing and gouging between pro-Truman and pro-Eisenhower| factions seemed sure today to leave the Democratic party so tattered as to cripple its presidential campaign. That goes, regardless of who is nominated next week at Phila-| |delphia—and the odds are back! {on Harry Truman again. But nominee Truman is like-| ly to get little comfort from any) of the three party factions which! have been trying to defeat him— 3% the Soljd South, the big city| bosses of the North and the old} New Dealers. If the Philadelphia convention next week does- trample on the President and turn to someone else, that someone—Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas or whoever—is sure to be hurt by continuing intra-party crossfire. Hostile Bed Fellows
