Kefauver had no place to go for second-choice votes. Any chance of picking them up below Mason-Dixon line was lost by stand he and his followers took on seating Virginia and other southern states. !

So while Kefauver was takng his early lead, heavy pressure “was being brought on Stevenson to. accept the Tennesseean as his running mate, Stevenson was told Kefauver would bring more strength to the ticket than anyone else,

Pressure on Stevenson from thé other side was just as fieavy, His backers, almost to a man, were bitterly opposed to Kefauver, With one of them, former Sen. Scott Lucas, of Illinois, defeat of Kefauver was

i a bitter personal crusade. Pres.

Truman has been strongly against him from the start.

Bronx, who was too ill to come here, spent the night and day on the phone, calling chairmen of Key delegations, urging them to keep Kefauver off the ticket. _ First ballot switch of Michigan delegation, from Gov. Wiltiams to Kefauver, was signal that Steyenson had not agreed to take Kefauver. The northern liberals were withholding votes they intended to give Stevenson yoner or later, trying to force it. New Yark’s big bloc of votes, pledged to Harriman, but not

President Truman abandoned his earlier resolve not to fiy to Chicago until a ticket had been chosen, and reached the convention city just as the first hallot' was completed. Chairman McKinney met him at the airport; one more toplevel political conference took place in a car between the airport and the Blackstone Hotel.

Friends got the two men to-gether:-by phone—during the week.

DEMOCRATIC convention didn't have TV and radio

audiences that Republicans had.

For one thing, Democratic gathering, with candidates standing more or less for same doctrines, didn't have dramatic impact of bitter Taft-Eisen-hower rivalry. For another thing, novelty has worn off. GOP convention was first one most viewers had seen. You can take just so much of speaking, demonstrations. Delegates left Chicago this week hoping some substitutute for conventions can be found. They think TV brings the day closer, And while TV audiences could see, hear, everything going on, delegates could not. Seated in the moh, on the floor, they had trouble hearing speakers, following complifed maneuvers,

By Scripps-Howard Newspapers WASHINGTON, July 26 — Society being decimated, but simply decimated, by wholesale defections to Chicago and the plusher spas, a dogged little handful of party-goers carried on this week in weather s0 sticky that the dew on their cocktail glasses gleep-glopped like a leaky faucet.

HOW RIVALS STACK UP—When—and if—the six-power European Defense Community pact is ratified, the way will be cleared for a West German army, wearing uniforms of the United Nations’ European force. It will make up the largest armed group facing Russia on the East.

How the two armies stack ‘up in their respective potentialities is illustrated on Newschart above. will carry heavy American arms and be organized on the U.
