Economic Weapons'
Will Not Save World,
Gov. Duff Tells G.O.P.
tv th* Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA, June 21.—
Gov. James H. Duff of Pennsyl
vania said today that "economic
weapons alone'’ will not save
modern civilization. He appealed
to his fellow Republicans to
pledge the world moral and
spiritual leadership.
The world crisis, Gov. Duff said in
welcoming the convention to Penn
sylvania, "is too profound to be re
solved solely bv drawing a dollar
mark across the pages of history."
"The athiestic materialism which
degrades the meaning of the indi-i
vidual man in many portions of the!
world canrtot be overcome by an-!
other materialism which measures
our national progress only in terms
of wages and profits,” he said.
Sees Struggle With Reds.
In another plea for liberty for in
dividuals throughout the world, Na
tional Chairman Carroll Reece told
the opening session of the conven
tion the struggle for political mas
tery in this country is between the
Republican and Communist parties.
The Democratic Party, Mr. Reece
asserted, is "handicapped by having
been in power too long" and is in
capable of checking the "march of'
radical aggression."
Gov. Duff said in his prepared
speech that mankind is looking not
only for food and material things
from America.
"They are asking for meaning, for
hope in their struggle to regain a
faith in life which has been shat-'
tered by the cruelty of unbridled
power and by the devastion of un
restricted warfare,” he said.
Appeals for Pledge.
“Before tve leave this assemblage
we must define a new and respons
ible purpose and pledge the world
a moral and spiritual leadership
that alone can save us all from
thft deep abyss to which a pure
materialism is endeavoring to en-!
gulf us.”
Gov. Duff recalled that it was!
exactly 170 years ago, on June 21,'
1788. that the Federal Constitu- j
tion was adopted in the Quaker
City. Hence, the Pennsylvania Gov
ernor and leader of the State's
convention delegation said. “It is
particularly appropriate that this
convention should be held in Phil
adelphia.'’

PHILADELPHIA.—AS CONVENTION OPENED—This is a view from the front of Convention Hall as the opening session got under ♦
way today. .
raff Optimism Grows,;
Dewey Camp 'Sure of
Early-Ballof Victory'
By J. A. O'Leary
Star Sjaff Correspondent
PHILADELPHIA, June 21.—The
raft and Dewey camps both talked
topefully at their daily press con
ferences today but the managers for
he New York Governor appeared
o be the more confident.
Senator Taft told reporters he
s "a little more optimistic" than
r-esterday. but added he has very
ittle additional information.
He drew a laugh when he said
re would know' more if he had not
;lept eight hours last night, trying to
•ecover from the long closing ses
sion of the Senate.
Herbert Brownell, Gov. Dewey's
;pokesman, said his candidate is
■ontinuing "a march toward early
ja Hot victory.”
He said he finds the New York
jovernor has "more friends than
ve realized” at the convention.
Senator Taft told newsmen it
vould be "a great mistake" for the
■onvention to* begin balloting late
.Vednesday night and go through j
he night indefinitely. If there is
o be any balloting that night im- ■
nediately following the nominating
peeches, the Senator said there!;
hould be an understanding as to j j
iow' many ballots would be taken j,
t that time.
The Ohio Senator, with his usual1.
oundless energy, was out at 8:30!,
clock this morning addressing j
reakfast meetings of the Montana!]
nd Massachusetts delegations.
He told the Montana group that |,
lew'spapers like to refer to dead- ,
arks and smoke filled rooms but
ip does not believe there W'ill be
ither.
At the Massachusetts breakfast
Senator Taft got a quick fill-in
rom Senator Lodge'on the t.enta
ive draft of the platform. From
i-hat he heard the Senator said it ]
ounded like a proper declaration
if principles.”

hrough the convention call and

Jernard Samuel of Philadelphia.
Mr. Hallanan was not to lack for
:avels in conducting the day’s busi
less. Before introduction of Car
oil Reece, the national chairman,
le w!as presented with a second,
leavier one, of wood grown near
dr. Reece's birthplace—"cut from a
ed cedar log in the mountains of
rennessee.”
In contrast to the packed floor,
he balcony remained sparsely
lopulated with spectators at noon,
tossibly reflecting the fact that
here is little of importance on to
ay's agenda. A nearly feature was
he .singing of "Wait Till the Sun 1
ihines, Nellie"’ and other barber
hop songs by a quartet known as
he Diplomats. They wound up
heir performance with Meyer
lavis’ Republican campaign ditty,
Date in ’48."
In the front row on the floor the
Cansas delegates were conspicuous
or the enormous sunflowers they
tore in their buttonholes. Only Alf
jandon, the defeated Republican
andidate in 1936, seemed td have
eft his at home.

llall Swarming With Technician*.
Since early morning Convention
Hall had been swarming with tech
nicians. shouting instructions as
they adjusted their lighting, radio,
television, wireless and photography
jpparatus.
Alter iu a m., wnen uniei organ
ist Harry MacMillan began limber
ing uo his repertoire, they had a
hard time hearing each other. The
second song Mr. MacMillan played
was "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.”
Maybe this means the smoke-filled
room will be right here.
For all the whoop-la of the last
few days, the crowd was serious
looking. Before the starting gun
;hey stood in groups, talking quietly,
ar sat in their seats studying the
norning papers.
Women Just as Serious.
One thing that impresses is the
number of women among the dele
gates. They look prettier than the
men, but just as serious.
The flag motif has been used
sparingly. About the only places
which have been heavily draped are
the television and camera galleries,
and the bandstand at the back of
the top balcony—about 100 yards
from the press seats—where a brass
band took over from Mr. MacMil
an's organ with a crashing rendition
>f "The Stars and Stripes Forever.”
Despite the Kleg lighting and com
motion, this year they somehow
have managed to give the hall a
cool, surprisingly soothing look.
Beige and blue-greens predominate
in the color scheme. The speakers'
rostrom is tastefully decked in a
spray of gladiolas.
In fact, the whole atmosphere
nere seems auspicious—even the
weather. For several days, Philadel
phia has been one sultry drizzle,
but today is clear and cool.

Best Bet for Britain

London Newspaper
By th* Associated Press
LONDON, June 21.—Newspa
pers of Western Europe gave
considerable front page — and
editorial—attention today to
the Republican National Con
vention. The Communist-con
trolled press of Eastern Europe
pretty much ignored it.
London papers ran Page 1
stories from special correspond
ents in Philadelphia, saying
there are indications that Sena
tor Vandenberg may get ahd
accept the nomination. Some
of them editorially considered
that a good idea.
The News - Chronicle ran
thumbnail sketches of the ma
jor candidates with a footnote
at the bottom reading: "Best

?inia's unpledged delegates to the
Republican convention met yester
day to organize.
They steered clear of discussing
how they will cast their 21 votes

Several told reporters later that
the count on the first roll call prob
ably will be about 15 or 16 votes for
Gov. Dewey and the remainder for
Senator Taft.
Business transacted yesterday was
limited largely to passing out cre
dentials and to the adoption of a
resolution recommending re-election
of the present national committee
man and committeewoman from
Virginia—Curtis M. Dozier, sr., of
Richmond, and Mrs. William H.
Logan of Woodstock.
