The great North-South battle, pivoting about disputed "civil right" proposals, roared to new heights of bitterness. But simultaneously there came word that the man around whom this convention might unite Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illinois had said he would accept the presidential nomination if it is offered.

Up to now, Stevenson's personal noes to talk of his candidacy have had little effect on the draft movement running his way. In the light of the developing situation, Rep. Gene Cox of Georgia told reporters it was possible that the name of Sen. Richard B. Russell would not be put before the convention.

Cox contended the "loyalty rule" action was, in effect, tossing the November election to the Republican ticket of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. Russell himself said only: "It is necessary for me to await the course of events before I can make any statement." Vice President Alben W.

(Tribune Staff Photo) IV- Dever Predicts Sixth Straight Election Win Governor Stevenson Thumbs Down? Stevenson Ready But Unwilling to Accept Barkley Out; Issues Blast At Labor Chiefs CHICAGO UP) Vice President Alben W. Barkley withdrew suddenly last night from the Democratic presidential nomination race with a bitter attack on the "self-anointed political labor leaders" who had refused him their support. Until his surprise announcement, he had been considered one of the top contenders at the party's national convention.

The Kentucky delegation, with CHICAGO UP) Convention keynoter Paul A. Dever rallied Democrats last night to what he predicted would be their sixth straight election victory over Republican "malice" and "fossils." The Massachusetts governor, mid loars and rebel yells, threw up his arms and shouted: "We have vanquished them before and we shall vanquish them again." Swinging steadily through his speech, Dever heaped scorn upon the Republican party and praise upon the Democratic administrations-partieularly those of Presidents Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman. He made no mention of the Democrats' wide-open race for the presidential nomination this year.

Richard M. Nixon of California, will discuss campaign plans Sun day at the general's vacation ha ven in the Colorado Rockies. It will be their first get-togeth er since they conferred briefly in Chicago after the Republican National Convention. Nixon's Plans Told Sen. Fred A.

Seaton, an adviser to Eisenhower at the general's headquarters here, announced today that Nixon will fly from Washington Saturday to Denver. In Los Angeles, the adjutant general of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Julian Dickenson, announced Eisenhower will make his first major campaign address there before the VFW National Convention opening Aug. 3. Eisenhower also will receive the VFW's Bernard Baruch Award given 'the American citizen a panel of judges says has contributed the most toward fostering unity and good will among peoples of the world. Eisenhower aides said the gen eral and Nixon will talk over various aspects of the fall campaign, including the role the 39-year-old California senator will play.

Talks With Backers Eisenhower will confer at the ranch tomorrow with three key supporters. They are James H. Duff of Pennsylvania, Ralph Cake, GOP national committeeman from Oregon, and Gov. Dan Thornton of Colorado. Eisenhower headquarters labeled as propaganda a suggestion at the opening session of the Democratic convention yesterday that the general must accept part of any blame for U.3.

Korean policy a policy sharply criticized by the Republicans. The suggestion was made by Sen. Paul H. Douglas of Illinois in a speech lighting into the Republicans for criticism of the Korean program. Newsmen at Eisenhower headquarters asked for comment from the general on Douglas' remarks.

In reply, Sen. Seaton put out this statement: "There will be no comment from Mossadegh Is Renominated TEHRAN, Iran UP) Iran's Par-liament overwhelmingly renominated Mohammed Mossadegh Premier today after two days of bloody Nationalist rioting and disorder had forced the more moderate Ahmed Qavam from the office. Qavam's announced determination to seek a settlement of Iran's oil dispute with Britain set off Communist-strengthened Nationalist mobs who screamed through the streets for his death and battled with police and troops. Twenty persons reportedly were killed in the fighting which raged through the capital yesterday. Disorders erupted in other parts of the country.

Union Demand Brings Gloom In Steel Case PITTSBURGH UP) The CIO United Steelworkers' renewed demands for a non-compromise union shop compulsory union membership cast gloom today on the 51-day-old steel strike. Negotiations were at a stand still and the government gave no indication of further intervention.

The stiffened union shop demand came yesterday at the session of the union's 170-man Wage Policy Committee, summoned into session by USW President Philip Murray. Before the session ended, industrial representatives in an unprecedented action went before the union committee to present industry's side of the the plea left the committee's collective mind unchanged. Wipe Out Change Union negotiators headed by Murray had discussed modified terms of the union shop as a basis for possible agreement. The committee voted unanimously to wipe out such a possibility. The steel companies' side of the dispute was presented to the Wage Policy Committee by Vice President Joseph M.

Larkin of Bethlehem Steel; John Morse, general counsel for Bethlehem; Vice President John A. Stephens of U. S. Steel and Board Chairman Moreell of Jones and Laughlin Steel. After the four men spoke, Murray turned to the committee members who already had voted, and asked: "Do you want to change your minds?" Violent Opposition Loud yells of "No" and "Hell, no" echoed from the floor.

Neither union or management would comment on just where the latest cleavage left the hopes for settling the strike. Industry repeatedly has refused to incorporate the compulsory union shop into any new major contract. Government prodding brought union and industry together on several occasions in recent weeks but each meeting ended in dead-See UNION Page 11 Consider Stock-Car Racing Ordinance A stock-car racing ordinance which would require issuance of a written permit before races could be held will be given further study at a meeting of the County Board's special rules committee at 2 p.m. Thursday in the courthouse. The ordinance was presented to the County Board at its June session, but no action was taken, and it was referred back to committee.

In its original form, the ordinance set up a $25 fee for the permit and stipulated that complete public liability insurance must be carried by race promoters. Wit W- v. ceived in malice, and dedicated to the proposition that all the great achievements of the last 20 years should be swept away." In choosing Eisenhower as stand ard bearer over Ohio's Sen. Robert A. Taft, he said, the Republicans "threw overboard the faithful pilot who had guided them for years and placed at their head one whose knowledge of navigation was confined to other waters." The 1952 election issue, he said, is "to keep the peace." Neither the GOP nor Eisenhower can do this, he contended, but the Democratic party's record against Communist aggression has proved it can.

Dever made only passing reference to civil right3, the issue which split the 1948 Democratic convention and has imperiled North-South unity at this one. "On this issue, as in all others," he said, "the Democratic party must move forward." Dever said his personal belief upholds laws guaranteeing "full economic opportunity for all Americans, regardless of color, creed, age or racial origin." In a prelude earlier in the day to Dever's keynote talk, National Chairman Frank E. McKinney said the Democratic party was one of peace and prosperity. "Never before," McKinney said, "have the forces of wealth and privilege been so strongly mobilized for an assault on the things it stands for." He added: "The rich, the powerful, the privileged, dominate the Republican party today, just as they dominated its ancestor, the Federalist party." McKinney praised President Truman for what he called "momentous acts of great-hearted courage." He listed some of these decisions as use of the atom bomb, the Berlin airlift, the Marshall Plan, intervention in the Korean War. At Press time NEW YORK Federal limine.

In the midst of North-South debate preceding adoption of a delegate pledge of loyalty to the Democratic ticket, Sen. A. Willis Robertson of Virginia said: "If the rule passes, Stevenson would not take the nomination on a gold platter much less a silver one." Robertson said he meant that Southern defection could make the nomination "worthless." There was no Southern walkout from the convention, however, when the rule passed. Stevenson's parting statement the Biblical "as Thou Wilt" was in contrast to his earlier reply yesterday when asked about a report that President Truman might board a Stevenson bandwagon. "If I were seeking the nomination, I would be enormously gratified by the President's support," he said then.

"But, since I'm not seeking the nomination, I'm alarmed that it will add fuel to the draft fire." Truman was watching developments. There were predictions the President, who months ago reportedly wanted Stevenson as his successor, would give his blessing soon maybe today unless Stevenson came out with a flat refusal.

He was careful in his report, and later in an interview, not to identify the objects as flying saucers.

He described them as "like falling stars without tails" but added: "In my years of flying I've seen a lot of falling or shooting stars but these were much faster They couldn't have been aircraft. They were moving too fast for that. They were about the same size as the brighter stars, and were much higher than our C.OOO-foot altitude." Another airliner, Capital-National Airlines Flight G10, also reported seeing a light following it from llerndon, to within four miles of Washington. Saul Pett, an Associated, Press newsman, said he saw a "flying saucer" that same night near his home at River Edge, N.J., outside of New York. CHICAGO UP) Adlai E.

Stevenson, apparently yielding to the clamor, stood ready but unwilling today to accept the Democratic presidential nomination. When he took leave of reporters last night, the Illinois governor referred them to Matthew 26:39. The newsmen checked the Bible and found it reads: my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me. Nevertheless, not as I will but as Thou wilt." Thus, by indirection, Stevenson ventured his farthest from a "no, no, not that" cocoon. But early today, a few hours after he made Revolt Could Cut Deeper in Demo Ranks CHICAGO A new Southern revolt threat, kindled by the Democratic convention's adoption of a party loyalty pledge, posed possibilities of greater import today than the Dixie bolt of 1918.

In their losing battle against the pledge, Southern delegates argued in. convention debate early today it might cause the loss of six states. The six Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Virginia have 59 electoral votes among them. It takes only 2G6 electoral votes to be elected president and traditionally 'the last election was a big exception all of these stales, 59 go to the Democratic candidate. Cast Votes The 1918 rebellion cost the Democratic nominee, President Truman, a total of 39 electoral votes in four Southern states but Truman won without them.

The four Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina went to the states rights ticket headed by former Gov. J. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina. Hence, the stake in any Southern bolt this time is biggertwo more states atid 20 more electoral votes. The pledge battle overshadowed See KKVOLT I'ase It ii Spotted candidate.

However, Averell Harriman, also bidding for the nomination, said he would stick it out. Sen. Estes Kefauver also showed no signs of pulling out. The loyalty rule, slammed through in the early hours of today is aimed to require that delegates pledge to do all they can to get the convention's nominees on the ballots in their states as the rightful Democratic candidate. Georgia and South Carolina delegations voted formally that they wouldn't take such a pledge.

They ruled it would be in conflict with state laws and state party rules. Take Same Stand Louisiana's delegation also took the same attitude. All rejected the idea of walking out of the convention. Their strategy instead was to take their seats and leave the next move up to the "Fair Dealers" who put in the rule. Gov.

Herman Talmadge of Geor gia put it this way: "Our next step is to return to the convention and take our seats as the soveriegn state of Georgia." The governor said this meant that they would "sit it out" until they are either seated or thrown out. Others Are Angry There was considerable anger even among some of the Southerners who felt the rule was not in conflict with their state laws or rules and were not formally rebelling. The North Carolina delegation, after warm discussion voted to inform the convention Credentials Committee that under North Carolina law the names of the convention's nominees would be placed on the ballot in But the North Carolina delegation balked at taking any formal pledge. Sen. Willis Smith told the delegation he doesn't believe "the men running this convention believe in honesty and fairness" and he cautioned the delegation to be alert to fight.

He said: "We have got to let the goons of New York, Massachusetts, Michigan and other states know we're not going to goose step at their crack of the whip." Presented By Moody The loyalty rule was presented to the convention by Sen. Blair Moody of Michigan. Gov, Paul A. Dever of Massachusetts, presiding, gavellcd it through without a roll call vote. One of those making an Impassioned speech for it was Rep.

Franklin D. Roosevelt of York. The big row over the loyalty rule could come to a floor climax late tonight with a report from the Credentials Committee as to which delegates have given' it a pledge.

He was a director and retired president of the Kimberly-Clark Corporation pulp and paper maiv ufacturers, president of the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents, a prominent Republican, and a knight of St. Gregory, the highest honor awarded a Roman Catholic layman. Sensenbrenner underwent major abdominal surgery in 1950.

Adlai Stevenson of Illinois on the first ballot. Keady to Walk Out The Kentuckians all but walked out of the convention last night after Barkley quit the race. They met briefly, agreed to cast their votes as a unit and then adjourned until called together again to decide on what presidential aspirant they will support.

Mrs. Susan Pollard, national committeewoman from Lawrence- burg, told a newsman, 'There is a strong possibility we will vote for Stevenson on the first ballot." Barkley withdrew from the race after missing his first keynote session in more than 30 years. His statement came a day after high CIO and AFL officials withheld their support on the ground that the 74-year-old Kentuckian was too old to make a successful race. Scores Labor Leaders Barkley, evidently deeply hurt, said in a statement he had never believed a single group would dominate a great political party. "But now," he said, "certain self-anointed political labor leaders have taken it upon themselves to announce their opposition to me as the Democratic nominee for President." These labor leaders, he said, had committed themselves "to a program and to candidates other than myself, which would give them greater control of the machinery and policies of the Democratic party." Move on to Oust Nelson By AKTHUR BYSTKOM CHICAGO 0P) A move is re ported underway today among old guard Democrats and labor rep resentatives from Wisconsin to get new leadership for the Badger delegation to the national convention The plan as reported by one of the old guard Democrats is to call for a caucus and demand that State Sen.

Gaylor Nelson of Madi son give up his post as chairman in favor of someone who would make contacts with the Illinois forces supporting Gov. Adlai Stevenson for President. Nelson is of the so called "Madi son bloc" that has taken leader ship of the Wisconsin party organ ization in recent years and has beaten off every attempt of old guard forces to regain control. Resentment against Nelson Is re puted to be caused by failure of the state organization to provide funds for the delegates in Chicago and because of the lack of contacts with Stevenson people. "It is almost certain that Ste venson will be nominated on about the third ballot," this old guard delegute said.
