One is the idea that national political conventions deadlock about as easily and as often as traffic jams up at a downtown intersection. The facts are decidedly otherwise, but they don't seem to register on a lot of people whose professional business it is to know. The term 'deadlock;" is being tossed around nowadays as if it were the commonest prospect1 in sight. Since their birth as a political party, the Republicans have held 26 national conventions, beginning in 1856. Of this total, 16 produced a presidential nominee on the first ballot. The decision came in another four in three ballots or less. That's 20 out of 26. j -- . i The nomination of James G. Blaine in 1884 required four ballots, and Wendell Willkie's in 1940 took six. Even in Willkie's case, however, there never was a deadlock but simply gradual switching among the major candidates. s That leaves four conventions un- choos- accounted for. The longest, ing James A. Garfield, took 36 ballots; Warren G. Harding's in 1920 required 10 ; one took eight and another seven. Since 1920, only Willkie's and Thomas E. Dewey's 1948 nomination have required more than a single ballot. On the Democratic front the story is much the same. In 100 years and 26 conventions, the Democrats found their man on the first ballot 14 times, and in three ballots or less five other times. That's 19 of 25. Franklin D. Roosevelt's 1932 nomination took four ballots; William Jennings Bryan's first in 1896 necessitated five. ileal stalemates occurred just four times, once in 1868 (22 ballots), and then in three out of four from 1912 through 1924. In the first of these, Woodrow Wilson, was chosen in 46 ballots. In 1920, James M. Cox made it in 43, and in 1924 John D. Davis emerged as a compromise choice after 103 weary ballotsr Since then, only Roosevelt's 1832 nomination and Adlai Stevenson's three ballots in 1952 have taken more than one ballot. Quite evidently, the burden of fact is against those who forecast a I960 deadlock as if $hey were predicting breakfast would be served tomorrow. recognizing from the outset that settling the fiAgeriin issue was the to toughest nut he would have crack as French leader, has devised plan after plan in an effort to find some solution reasonably palatable both to France and to the Algerian Moslems clamoring for independI ence. j Last September he off 6reji them freedom to choose their own future course in referendum and toe offered to negotiate an immediate cease fire with the rebels.

This service charge may be deducted from wages by company payroll checkoff: 2t will be paid to the union as a contribution toward its administration of the contract as representative of all em'j ployes, These payments must be made regardless of whether the employe is a mem-b- er of the union or not. it is this , provision which gets around the laws ..which exempt workers from having to Join unions. United Steetworkers' Union officials have not yet determined how much more service money these into their will treasury. bring charges Their a sump turn is that it will increase onion membership by many thousands. Their reasoning .is that if steelworkers who are hot union members have to pay the union for representing them, they will go aU the way and join up to gain a voice and a vote in running its affairs. M it works this way, the "free riders" will disappear Arthur J. Goldberg, Steelworkers Union counsel, who negotiated the new contract, gives this background on how its controversial new union security section got into the contract: Law outThe original "closed shop" pro lawed the vision requiring that every employe covp ered by a labor contract join the union. But the law permitted the "union shop."
