I Kefauver had as spectacular a one-man campaign as anything in, pur generation; but what happened to him at Chicago merely' confirms ithe well-known sports-page truth a great track star isn't neces- a great football player.

In conclusion, I have to pay a tribute to one If you don't President is a master politician I advise you to rc-rcad the paper file on this week's Democratic convention.

i Truman made peace with the Eastern and labor radicals by saying many a nice word in behalf i of Averell Harriman and letting it appear that Mr. Harriman was the White House's fair-haired boy. And, having favored Harriman, the President took the position that this was enough he couldn't be expected to be friendly to also; so he opposed Kefauver openly despite the letter's large public following. This' was the public record before the convention and up to the hour of actual voting. But then it developed that the President had adeptly played off the radicals against the opportunists and meanwhile put the real party power behind a middle-of-the-road man, Stevenson of Illinois.

It was good maneuvering as good as this generation has ever seen. Of course the Democratic party had it to do. But the point is, they did it. Gov. Adlai Stevenson County job on the Marked Tree lorthoast road.

VACCARO CHICAGO President Truman ard to Adlai Stevenson today und urd to Adlai Stevenson toda yand looked forward to the role of elder statesman. But, the fire of the political war horse burned brightly as ever us he headed homeward into a hot Missouri party primary. The President and his official party took off for Kansas City, In his plane, "The Independence," Ut 11:00 a.m. (CST) today. Included in the president's'party was Secretary of the Treasury John W.

Snyder. He is going to remain at his home in Independence until ho votes Aug. 5 in Missouri primary. In a sort of swan song to the Democratic party as its leader, he offered to whistle-stop the country for his successor. "We are going to win in 1952 the same way we won in 1048," he told a shouting, applauding party convention, "and I pledge you now that I am going to take my coat off and do everything I can to help' him win." The President talked over the campaign ahead with Jacob Arvey, Illinois national coimnitteernan who was a power in the Stevenson draft, Chicago's Mayor Martin Ken nelly, Senate Secretary Leslie Biffie, Secretary of the Treasury Jqhn Snyder, Attorney General James McGranery and House Speaker Sam After the nomination was assured, Stevenson arrived at a restaurant and he and Trurnaa went to the convention.

After a tumultous welcome, the President poured oil on party wounds. "The only trouble he said "we bad to pick one and leave the others out."
