From the very beginning of the GOP convention in the sweltering confines of Philadelphia's tion hall it was a simple case of Dewey against the field The field was composed of Taft, Stassen, r, and Warren Vandenberg, plus a scattering of favorite sons. Despite some frenetic jockeying for delegates by Dewey, Taft and preStassen over the week-enceding the convention, the big three of the GOP started out on Montheir day with alignments unchanged But by the time Gov. Dwight Green of Illinois had finished with his keynote address Monday night y it was apparent that a movement was struggling to get under way. As it turned out that movement never did get beyond the struggling stage and Dewey remained virtually the only one unaffected by It. In retrospect, the convention by that time already had assumed an toward the Inexorable course Dewey camp. Second - guessers maintained that the whole affair oozed along as if motivated by some fundamental and changeless law, although that was not fully evident until the convention could be viewed as a finished product If there was a fundamental law it was compounded from a series of heterogeneous factors, political and personal: First of all there was the superbly functioning Dewey machine, operating with almost 100 per cent efficiency to corral votes. Secondly, the Dewey opposition was divided. Taft and Stassen, poles apart in their political philwithin the Republican osophy party, could not get together. Stassen flatly refused a deal and Taft kept waiting for a break that never came. Californias Gov. Earl Warren refused to have a hand in a drive, insisted he was running for the nomination and not just against Dewey.

Television may achieve what the less vivid reports conveyed by print or the spoken word cannot Republican leaders, realizing this, sent out some pretty strict orders on that subject before their recent convention in this city. The orders were revealed by that monitor of stage, screen and radio, Variety. Republican delegates were told not to be seen (by the eye of the television camera and thereby millions of other eyes) talking to members of delegations from other states lest the suspicious public smell a deal in the making. If they must huddle they were told to huddle unseen. Delegates also were warned not to assume awkward positions on the floor lest televiewers deduce that handsome Isnt as handsome doesnt And most of all, they were warned not to be seen leaving early and coming late. Not overly hopeful that orders would me followed, monitors were appointed. Since I couldn't see much of the video product because, as a reporter I had to keep my eyes on the televiewers themselves, I can't say how well the Republicans comported themselves when televised, nor can I assay how well the Democrats, currently in the spotlight profited by what they saw of Republican video performances last month.

Behind this official facade which the Communists had thrown up. however, were the real reasons for Tito's expulsion from grace: As the only wartime hero of the Communis is the Yugoslav maishal had begun to take himself too seriously. hence, was beginning to feel the need to express his own opinions and policies on matters political and economic. Stalin wanted no other boss in his sphere. Tito was building up a personal police army which was molestin' other Communists, including Rusfolsians, in Belgrade.

But frankly I have been thinking tbout something else as I sit here in this tropical heat that is, in the momenta when I have been able to think between the flashing of the light which is the silent bell on the telephone beside the mike I am sharing with Earl Godwin. The flash af the light on the phone means someone in the ABC booth, high above us, wants one or the other of us to jump in and give a brief e of what is transpiring tn our immediate neighborhood, for we are in the thick of things here ind, believe me, sometimes things are piritty thick. What I have been thinking about la the lot of the newsman and the small hanks he gets for his pain and suffering in a political year. Besides being hauled and mauled by the public his public, as the listeners of a commentator are referred to besides that, he is under slantwise attack by the candidates when they forget themselves. Nobody, either the partisan listeners or the politicos, ever thinks the columnist, commentator or reporter is being fair unless he Is boosting his aide. Candidates, when they are in of their full senses, don't go around arousing the wrath of the newsmen. Even Franklin Roosevelt, who was forever needling the always carefully exnewspapers, plained that it was the publishers ind editors and headline writers who twisted the news, not the men who wrote or broadcast it. But sometimes candidates slip. And as we sit, perspiring under the clieg lights and trying our best to .ell the truth without malice and with as much charity as possible about what is going on before us, we recall without too much rancor, the statement of the candidate who is not being unanimously nominated. On his recent trip he made one remark, which prompted him to send that offending piece of habcrdasheiy to the laundry immediately after he had thought it over. President Truman opined to one audience that it was almost Impossible to get the facts definitely before the public because there are certain people in the newspaper business and certain people in the radio business w ho have a distorted view of what the people ought to know and what the people ought to think." It might have been better if he had worded his plaint tn the language of an earlier candidate much earlier John Quincy Adams, who at least narrowed his charges against the press to a few papers, even though he didnt name them specifically. This offered a sop to the rest However, President Truman, in a previous outburst on that same western trip was specific too. He attacked the Chicago Tribune and the Spokane Spokesman-Review- . In lambasting the Tribune, he was following in Franklin Roosevelts footsteps You may recall that on one occasion when FDR was asked a particularly sharp question by a Tribune reporter, he replied: "Oh, :ell Bertie (Robert McCormick, publisher), hes seeing things under the bed Mr Truman's attack on the Tribune came about this way: Wh:le .ravelling through Washington state, t reporter put to him a question which, although it seemed guileless aught have concea'ed a barb Anyhow the President interpreted it that Broadway Heartbeat stop-Dewe- y interested. Nomination Actual climax of the convention came when Sen. Edward Martin of Pennsylvania renounced his favorite son candidacy and threw his support, backed by about half the members of Pennsylvanias 73 delegates, to Dewey. That started the blitzkrieg. From then on it was Dewey and downhill all the way. As the crucial balloting began in humid, steaming convention hall it y became more evident that a coalition had not jelled. On the first roll call it was Dewey 434, Taft 224, Stassen 168 On the second ballot Dewey had gone up to 515 and Taft to 274, while Stassen dropped to 149. At that point the convention recessed for three hours, a move engineered by Taft, Stassen and other leaders to give them time to decide whether or not to continue the fight When the convention reconvened y for the third roll call the drive had changed to a nominate-DeweSen stampede. John Bricker of Ohio was the first on the rostrum to withdraw the stop-Dewe- stop-Dewe- y GOVERNOR WARREN ... lie name of his accepted . . . states candidate. Drafting Sen- Tli is was swiftly followed by similar withdrawals by Warren, Stassen, Vandenberg and ator T3ft MarArthur. On the third ballot the 1,094 delegates to the convention nominated Gov. Thomas E. Dewey as their unanimous choice to run as the Republican candid 'e for President in 1948. Warren Selection of Gov. Earl Warren of California as the Republician came as nominee for a complete shock to almost everyone. despite the fact that the choice was a logical and reasonable one. Warren was a surprise pick because prior to the convention he had maintained stoutly that he could not afford to take the and would not accept the second spot It was even more a departure from the norm in that the Dewey-Warre- n ticket failed to offer a to the old grain of consolation guard and isolationist wing of the party. Warren has strongly Intereven nationalist political views more so than Dewey and has been a consistent critic of the GOP isolationists. Initial speculation as to the spot ran to Rep. Charles Halleck of Indiana or Sen. Kenneth Wherry of Nebraska, both of the tradi"conservative Republican nt tion. pow-woBut in the night-lon- g that followed the Dewey nomination it was Warren who was chosen. Dewey himself averred that he had not influenced the choice, that the party leaders had become convinced that the California governor was the best bet Nevertheless, Dewey had had to make certain promises in order to get Warren for the job: The vicehe said, no longer presidency, would be the stale, flat and unHe profitable post it has been. planned to make Warren a "full partner. Significance Whether the GOP convention its policy platform to construct fit the candidates or nominated the candidates to fit the platform is, of course, an impossible question. Nevertheless, the Republicans managed to do both. Categorically, the platform is a one in the sound, forward-lookinlight of the issues, both foreign and domestic, to be faced Strongly internationalist and bipartisan in tone, it rejects the old line of isolationism for isolationisms sake and upholds the European recovery program. That foreign policy stand, harmonizing as it does with the previously stated convictions of Dewey and Warren, may stand as a historic milestone in development of the Republican party. g NOMINEE publican presidential nom, nation twice in succession.

Peak of the induction rate during the war was reached in February, 1943. when 406,374 men received their Russia's freight blockade of Berlin, while a stark enough action in its own right, nevertheless was a secondary manifestation of the same old cold war crisis arising out of the Soviet bid for power In Europe. While American and British planes by the hundreds were flying in food to besieged Berliners the western powers were pondering a question they had had to answer in 1938 when Hitler was in power whether or not to appease. Long range plans of the Kremlin, of which the Berlin blockade is just one phase, call for the forcing of the western Allies out of Berlin. This, according to Soviet thinking, could be done by either of two mqans: Either by threats and terrorization involving the risk of war, or by a negotiation which could be hoped to result in a western appeasement policy such as grew out of the Munich conference of 1938. Britain and the U.S. are on a dangerous spot If they pulled out of Berlin under pressure of force applied by Russia the power and influence of western democracy would be perilously weakened in Europe w-- e Jack Pearl tells about the two partners who went fishing.
