Dewey, Tall lo Meet
In New York Today
To Discuss Strategy
By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, July 13 — Gov Dew
ey and Senator Taft will meet here
tonight to map Republican presi
dential campaign strategy and pos
sibly explore divergent views on some
issues.
Senator Taft said he will meet the
Republican presidential candidate
for dinner in New York. The place
of meeting is undetermined, he said.
He declined to say what the two
planned to discuss.
Gov. Dewey is at his farm in Pawl
ing, N. Y. Senator Taft is on his way
to Murray Bay, Quebec,, for a vaca
tion.
At Pawling. Gov. Dewey said he
was interrupting his vacation to
drive to New York for a "series of
conferences” and would remain in
the city through tomorrow. He did
not identify the persons with whom
he planned to confer.
Ta/t Predicts Victory.
In a news conference in Wash
ington yesterday. Senator Taft also
predicted sweeping congressional
gains for his party in the Novem
ber elections. The Dewey-Warren
ticket, he said, will cause defeat
of Democratic Senators in Rhode
Island, Colorado and Montana. He
also forecast a Republican victory
extensive enough to assure election
of Republicans to Senate seats be
ing vacated by Senators Hatch.
Democrat, of New Mexico and
Moore, Republican, of Oklahoma.
Sources familiar with Gov. Dew
ey's methods of operation said,
however, it was likely the New
Yorker and the Ohioan would dis
cuss for campaigm use:
1. Achievements of the Republi
can-dominated Eightieth Congress.
2. The most vulnerable spots in
President Truman's domestic rec
ord.
3. The part Senator Taft is to
play in the Republican campaign
The Ohioan, considered the fore
most congressional critic of the
Truman administration, is expected
to turn over to Gov. Dewey an
arsenal of campaign ammunition
he has stored up against the dem
ocratic regime.
Labor Law May Be Examined.
One piece of major legislation
that may be examined from a cam
paign viewpoint is the Taft-Hartley
Act, which drastically amended the
Wagner Labor Relations Law. Sen
ator Taft has defended the law
stoutly.
In Oregon two months ago, Gov.
Dewey called it a good law but said
it might need revisions.
Gov. Dewey discussed campaign
plans by telephone yesterday .with
his campaign manager, Herbert
Brownell, jr. He later saw his son,
Tom. jr., hurl the Pawling boys’
baseball team to an 11-4 triumph
over the Brewster YMCA team.

a candidate. I do not know that I
am now a candidate. I will leave
it up to your judgment to say what
Is best and will await the will of the
convention.”
Chairman McGrath said he had
told Senator Barkley that he him
self would be happy to vote for him
'Senator Barkleyi for Vice Presi
dent.
Informed of Senator McGrath's
statement, Senator Barkley told re
porters :
“I still have no statement to
make as far as I'm concerned.
‘ I'm not trying to be evasive but
I've got to make up my own mind
as to whether I would accept under
any condition, and I’m not going to
make up my mind while I am tem
porary chairman (of the conven
tion'.
"After I get out from under that,
maybe I’ll have something to say.”
President Truman, Senator Bark
ley said, called him on the telephone
from the White House this morning.
Congratulated on Speech.
‘He congratulated me on my
speech last night," the Kentuckian
related, "and said he had tried to
get me last night. We did not talk
about the vice presidential nomina
tion.”
A reporter asked Senator Mc
Grath what would be the effect of
his nomination on the South and
Senator McGrath replied:
"If I can interpret the sentiment
of the South, as expressed to me by
those delegates I have spoken with
in the last 18 hours, most of them
my colleagues in the Senate, I
would say that the South would be
very happy at the nomination of
Senator Barkley."
But when asked if this would be
sufficient to "forestall those South
erners who want to bolt the party,”
the party chairman said he was not
going to speculate about such things.
He said in reply to another ques
tion that President Truman prob
ably would come to Philadelphia and
address the convention after his
nomination. If he addresses the
convention, he said, it would be in
person and not by radio.
It was not until this morning that
definite word of Mr. Truman's ap
proval was received here. As late
as 10:30 a.m. Senator Barkley had
not heard from the White House.
The Kentuckian, who is 70 years
old, was up and in good shape this
morning after grueling performance
at Convention Hall last night when
he spoke for more than an hour to
the cheering delegates.
Yesterday afternoon when the
power went off the elevators in the
headquarters hotel. Senator Barkley
walked up eight flights of stairs to
his room, with panting reporters
behind him.
The Barkley choice is popular.
The boom for the Kentuckian re
ceived great impetus from Senator
Barkley's Democratic colleagues in
the Senate, many of whom are here
as delegates to the convention.
Chairman McGrath said he hoped
the convention would be able to ad
journ tomorrow night. He said that
that might require an all-day ses
sion running far into the night. He
said he expected the platform to be
presented tomorrow afternoon and
Steak Held Aloft at Convention
As Democrats Beef About Prices
1
Mrs. India Edwards, executive director of the women’s di
vision at the Democratic convention, waved this steak—one of
several props she used—In telling delegates last night that the
Republicans are to blame for sky-high prices. —AP Wirephoto.
By the Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA, July 13.—This
is about a raw steak, held aloft in
the dainty hands of a lady wearing
diamonds.
The Democrats are feeling a little
| stronger today because of this
steak, plus some salty oratory and
28 minutes of strenuous exercise in
!the steam room.
Of course, they still lack a presi
dential candidate who will be ac
ceptable to all sections of the party.
But they may have found the nomi
nee for vice president.
But back to the steak.
It was a real one, a medium-sized
sirloin. It was introduced in evi
dence, so to speak, by Mrs. India
Edwards, chairman of the women’s
division of the National Commit
tee. She was proving a point with it.
Mrs. Edwards, fashionable in
after-dinner black, brought a mar
ket bag with her when she made her
speech, blaming the Republicans for
the high cost of food. The bag con
tained a quart of milk, a pound of
margarine—and the red meat.
The price of each was stated by
i the speaker. And if her object was
j to startle her hearers with the
steak, she achieved it in full meas
after its adoption the nomination
of the presidential and vice presi
dential candidates would be made.
With both the presidential and
vice presidential spots on the ticket
filled, there remained little for the
convention to do but formally ratify
: the selections—unless there is a
floor fight on the platform issue.
Demonstration Breaks.
Mr. Truman is as certain as any
man can be of nomination for the
I top spot on the ticket when the first
ballot is called, despite some South
ern votes which will go to Gov.
Laney of Arkansas and a few other
for Senator Pepper of Florida and
probably Senator Russell of Geor
gia.
The delegations marched about
the hall shouting for Senator Bark
! ley in a spontaneous demonstration
last night. A big red and white
banner was broken out carrying the
slogan "Barkley for Vice Presi
dent."
After the demonstration finally
had quieted down; leaders in the
convention agreed that there
seemed no stopping a Barkley vice
presidential nomination.
Other candidates and near candi
dates for the vice presidential nom
ination declared for Senator Bark
I ley. Senator Tydings of Maryland
released the Maryland delegation
which had been pledged to him and
came out for the Kentuckian. Gov.
Preston Lane of Maryland, whose
name was being prominently men
tioned as a candidate of ^he White
House and of Eastern leaders, de
clared himself not a candidate, and
said that he wished to complete his
term as Governor.
Other Democratic Senators at
tending the convention are lining
up for Senator Barkley, too, among I
them Senator Lucas of Illinois, who
has been mentioned for the vice
presidential nomination frequently.
There will be much support, in the
Illinois delegation, for the Senate
minority leader, it is said.
Clements Plans Nomination.
That Senator Barkley's name will
be placed formally in nomination
was made certain last night when
Gov. Earle C. Clements of Ken
tucky. chairman of the State's dele
gation, made the following state
ment:
"It is apparent that, without any
effort or campaign in his behalf,
a large majority of the delegates
to this convention not only desire
but demand the nomination of Sen
ator Barkley for the vice presi
dency. His unquestioned ability as
a campaigner, his *long record of
fighting leadership in behalf of the
progressive legislative program of
the Democratic Party and his wide
popularity among all Democrats:

laughed and cheered.
It hung in her hand, oozing limply
down between her fingers, and
partly obscuring the diamond rings
that glittered and twinkled in the
bright klieg lights. It looked, some
how. like a red jellyfish stuck on a
trident encrusted with jewels.
Mrs. Edwards told her audience
how much she had paid for it.
Then she put it down on the ros
trum beside her. Because of the
slant in the rostrum, the steak be
gan to creep downhill until it was
dripping partly over the edge.
She retrieved it, to the delight
of the photographers who asked
her to hold it up again "for just
one more.” Mrs. Edwards com
plied.
This could not have continued
much longer. The Convention Hall
was so hot that, very shortly, the
steak would have begun to broil.
She tosesd it into a large white box
with green stripes that also housed
a large toy balloon. The balloon
was supposed to symbolize inflation.
Mrs. Edward's steak and the roll
ing periods of Senator Barkley’s
keynote speech, delivered just be
fore. put the Democrats in a mood
they have not known since the
convention began.
; everywhere combine to make Sen
ator Barkley the logical choice of
i the convention.
"He will not authorize a campaign
in his behalf and has asked me to
refrain from such activity. Despite
this, we intend to place him in
nomination. In doing so, we are
acting not for Senator Barkley but
for the Democratic Party and the
people of the United States who
need and demand his leadership."
Guest at Dinner of Leaders.
Following the session of the con
vention last night. Senator Barkley
was the guest of honor at a stag
dinner at the home of Frederick R.
Mann. The invitations were sent
out by Senator McGrath and Sen
ator Myers of Pennsylvania, chair
man.of the Resolutions-Committee.
Other party leaders were falling
into line behind the Kentuckian,
though some were obviously reluct
ant. Former Mayor Frank Hague
of Jersey City was asked what he
thought of the Senator's chances.
He replied:
“What the hell—you’re not stupid,
are you? You saw that demonstra
tion. didn't you?"
Other comments:
Senator Connally of Texas: "The
convention wants him."
Senator Johnson of South Caro
lina : “He’s acceptable to me.”
Senator Hill of Alabama: "I don’t
see how it could be any one other
than Barkley after that demonstra
tion.
Senator O'Conor of Maryland:
"It's all the way on Barkley. It's
on the drum for him."
Senator Murray of Montana: “I
don't have any doubt about it that
Barkley will be the nominee."
Some of the opposition to the
Kentuckian was on the ground that
he is too old—he will be 71 in No
vember—or. that he comes from a
State too close to President Tru
mans Missouri. But neither seemed
to matter to the delegates who con

jsider the Senator one of the best

Senator Barkley’s keynote speech
was the first real fighting lift thg
convention and hitherto gloomy
delegates had received. The Ken
tucky Senator was given a real
demonstration. A march of dele
gates carrying State banners was
started around the hall. The huge
crowd, aided by the band, started
singing “My Old Kentucky Home.”
Senator Barkley, no mean singer
himself, joined in.
The demonstration was by the
delegates and alternates. It went
on while the crowd cheered and
sang song after song.
Singapore Governor Given
Wide Emergency Powers
By tht Associated frets
SINGAPORE, July 13.—The Leg
islative Council today gave Sir
Franklin Gimson, British governor,
sweeping powers to cope with any
spread of the Communist revolt in
the Malay Federation to this crown
colony.
The council acted swiftly in re
sponce to a request from the gov
ernor. Police swung into action and
arrested 25 persons in new raids.
Unconfirmed reports said Com
munists might attempt terrorist
killings in the crown colony similar
to those taking place in Malaya.
Local newsmen said "word was pass
ing around” that such attacks were
imminent. There was no official
confirmation, but some sources be
lieved the governor's request for
extended powers were linked with
these reports.
A planeload of 20 European women
and children refugees arrived safely

Mine area in Pahang State, scene
of disorders.
Louisiana Assault-Killing
Confessed by 2 Brothers
By th« Associated Press
OPELOUSAS, La., July 13.—Two
brothers were held here today, Sher
iff Clayton Guilbeau said, after they
confessed they raped a 21-year-old
woman and shot her escort to death.
The sheriff said the brothers,
identified as Matthew Cook, 23, and
•Joseph Cook, 24, colored, made
almost identical confessions. Both
said they had attacked the woman
ahd beaten her escort, Albert Cou
villion of Melville, but each blamed
• the other for firing the fatal shots.
Sheriff Gilbeau said the story tolci
by the brothers followed that re
lated to him by the woman. In the
woman’s account, the sheriff said,
she related that she and Mr. Cou
villion had stopped on a lonely road
near Melville Sunday while driving
from a dance.' Two colored men
forced them to drive to a wooded
lane, she said, where they beat Mr.
Couvillion and raped her in turn.
Mr. Couvillion. a retired Navy
lieutenant, was shot twice in the
back.
Physicians who examined thq
woman expressed the opinion that
she had not been physically mo
lested, but she clung to her story.

Wheat Yield Reported]
Close to Average in
Most of Maryland
The 1948 wheat yield, reported as
much as 60 per cent below expecta- j
tions on some Frederick County
farms, is near average in most parts
of Maryland, statisticians of the
Agriculture Department said today.
A miller described the Montgomery
County crop as “subnormal” because
of spotted damage resulting from
[ wind and hail storms just before
the harvest. He estimated the
county crop at 85 per cent of aver
age yield.
D. B. Wilson, statistician for the[
Bureau of Agricultural Economics,]
said farmers generally have been as
much concerned about quality as
quantity of the wheat. The crop ,
looks better in the field than it is!,
proved to be on threshing, he said.
He explained that in most sections
the grain did not fill out well before
ripening.
Mr. Wilson said the per-acre yield
in Maryland this year is less than
that for 1947, but approximates the i
10-year average. He commented
that 1947 was an unusually good
wheat year.
A. R. Selby, manager of the Liberty
[Milling Co., Germantown, said crop
j losses vary, principally because of a
late June storm that knocked down
the wheat, speeding up ripening be
fore maturity. Heaviest damage was
in the Potomac River section, he 1
said, while farms around Damascus
and LaytonsviHe fared much better.
A combination of circumstances
was blamed for the crop failure in;
Frederick, where some farmers de
cided to grind thejr short crop for
feed rather than market it. Growers
said some crop yields would be as
low as 40 per cent of the original
estimates.
Latest figures show that Maryland
has 385,000 acres in wheat this year,
compared with 370,000 in 1947 and
an average of 369,000 for the 10-year
period.
Morgan President Talks p
On Regional School Plan
By the Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn.. July 13.—
Sessions of the Race Relations In
stitute at Fisk University here were
devoted yesterday in discussing the
South’s proposed regional school;
plan.
One of the principal speakers was
Dr. Martin Jenkins of Baltimore,
who expressed belief that the plan
was the only “logical and reason
able approach" to solving higher
education problems. He is president
of Morgan State College.
Dr. Jenkins added, however, that
to set up a regional school for
Negroes “to avoid the issue of seg
regation" would be violating the i
democratic principle. He said the
plan should be opposed for that
reason.
Toonerville Trolley's
Original Skipper Dies
By the Associated Press
MOUNT VERNON, N. Y., July 13.
—Edward C. Glaser, 72, original
skipper of the Toonerville Trolley,
died yesterday.
For 37 years Mr. Glaser was day
motorman of the 2-mile, single-track
line that inspired Fontaine Fox’s
cartoon. Until the line was aban
doned in 1937 it operated between
the New York, New Haven & Hart
ford Railroad station in Pelham to
Shore road in Pelham Manor.
Neither Mr. Glaser nor his night
partner, Louis Matter, resembled
Fox’s trolley skipper, but both were
called by that name by the faithful
passengers.

Convention Morale Perks Up
With Blasts at 80th Congress
By Newbold Noyes, J t.
Star Staff Carropandent
PHILADELPHIA, July 13.—Well,
so’far it really hasn’t been half as
bad as everybody expected it would)
be. Somehow, with speeches toj
make and a convention program to
follow, the atmosphere ha# picked
up a little here. There may not
be much hope for November. There
may not even be much hope of
closing the tattered ranks and go
ing forward to defeat in unity, with
colors flying. But anyway, after all
the gloom, it feels good to these
Democrats to get their teeth into
something solid like the perfidy and
shortcomings of their Republican
rivals. '
They don't do much cheering
when somebody tells them the coun
try is going to elect a Democrat.
That kind of talk' makes them
fidget a little. But let a speaker
open up on the record of the Re
publican Eightieth Congress, and
he’s talking their language.
Some delegates are complaining
that the trouble with a Truman
Barkley ticket is that it would be
bottom-heavy.
* a * *
One of the reporters here got an
urgent message last night from his
office.
“If,” said the editor, “you use the
words ‘funeral’ or ‘morgue’ once
more, you’re fired.”
* * * *
Among the darker horses offering
their services to the party as presi
dential candidates is a man named
Frank Allison Best. His idea is
that President Truman will win the
convention's first ballot nomina
tion, but will refuse to accept the
nomination, stepping aside after
his performance as Chief Execu
tive has been vindicated. That is
where Mr. Best comes in as a "har
mony’' candidate who can pull the
party’s broken factions back to
gether.
His platform includes the adop
tion of constitutional amendments
prohibiting national labor unions,
barring women from elective offi
ces and setting up a Negro terri
tory in Africa for colored Americans
to go back to.
* * * *
There has been some eyebrow
raising over the name of one of thej
alternate delegates from North
Carolina. It is E. Hoover Taft, jr.

On their way to Convention Hall
last night, delegates were treated to
a spectacle whieh, for color and
excitement, far overshadowed any
thing that has happened or is likely
to happen at the hall—a circuslike
parade on Broad street by 24 of the
city’s traditional Mummers’ clubs.
Prancing in costume to the music
by their bands, the Mummers tied
up traffic in the center of the city
for more than two hours, while
Philadelphians and visitors crowded
into windows to shower them with a
torn-paper blizzard which compared

Like the conventioneers, however,
the Mummers have been having,
their factional troubles. All but
two bf the clubs had refused to pa
rade until one club, under a cloud
for some obscure breach of the con
ventions of mummery, agreed to
stay away from the festivities. And
the local Democrats are reported to
have had the singular nerve to urge
the Mummers, in this crisis, to close
their ranks and forget the past so
that the show might go on!
One Mummers’ band apparently
forgot what week it was. It marched
gayly up the street playing Senator
Taft’s “Pour-leaf Clover” campaign
song.
* * * *
Those little siren whistles which
were heard in the hall during yes
terday’s session are being distributed
to delegates and galleryites in
“Truman victory kits.” In addition
to two of the noise makers, each kit
contains—don’t ask why—a Truman
button, an automatic pencil, a i
cigarette lighter, a ballot tally sheet
and four thimbles.
♦ * * *
In 1932 Herbert Hoover warned
that if the Democrats came into
power grass would grow in the
streets. Yesterday an observer with
a long memory was driving from his
hotel to the convention hall. He
passed a oar to the gate post of
which the enterprising proprietor, in
hopes of attracting convention busi
ness, had tethered a donkey. The
animal was munching some hay
which had been placed for it on the
sidewalk.
"Good Lord,” said the man with
the memory. "Grass IS growing in
the streets.”

One of the delegates from Ken
tucky has gone home already. It
seems his horse is sick.
In the well-equipped first aid
station in the Convention Hall
basement, 25 persons were treated
last night for heat prostration and
other minor ills, he station has
four hospital beds and is staffed by
two nurses from the Philadelphia
General Hospital. All serious cases
are removed immediately to that
institution, within a stone’s throw
of the hall.
