New Lucey Etoergei" Thus there has emerged a new Lucey, vastly different from the man who patiently 'worked his way upward in regular Democratic politics over a long period, an eager, aggressively determined man who wants to push his party to the outer reaches of what has been regarded the liberal ideology.

Graeme Tait, a carpenter from Australia, told a pretty young English typist how much he loved her two years ago.

But she couldn't make up her mind. So he sailed 19,000 miles en route to Falmouth, England cabling his love from each stop along the way. Monday Bar- bara Hill gave him his answer. "No." How atout Sigurdur Helgason, a stone mason, and Ragnar Harhdsson, a carpenter, in Iceland? Sigurdur cut a chessboard from Italian marble and Lancashire slate for the upcoming world chess championship. Haraldsson built a mahogany table for the same event.

came contestant Bobby Fischer to declare the stone chessboard squares to be too large, and the mahogany table too long. So it was back to the old work bench for Ragnar and Sigurdur. Then there are Hubert Humphrey and Ed Muskie. to deliver the beating, Police investigators were told that one of the attackers told the victim the.were there on behalf of striking steel workers. The four managed to escape, although the police investigation continues.

Let's hope the incident is an isolated aberration instead of a resumption of tactics which attended picket lines back in the days when labor was battling for recognition. There have been disquieting reports of major outbreaks of violence recently in eastern states on construction sites. The Wall Street Journal reports that sky-rocketing wages for construction workers have resulted in a major increase in' the number of non-union contractors who are nabbing choice contracts outside areas of normal union jurisdiction. Some of the job sites have been vandalized and non-union workers, their homes and other property damaged in the new wave -of violence. Most reasonable citizens, naturally including a great many card-carrying union members, feel that have been provided with all the safeguards friends relate it to the powerful impact of the two Kennedy During his campaign for the governorship, brilliantly executed as it was, there was nothing to suggest that Lucey the public official would stand out today as one of the most aggressive of the exponents of the left wing of his party.

Tendency for Skepticism As he put together one task, force after another (and handed them dramatically novel: assignments, there was a tendency: for skepticism to the political community. As his unqualified endorsement of the prison reform report has shown, he is willing to stand on such propositions as phasing out the state prison system, something that no other contemporary politician would dare. He has named more women and blacks to public places than any other governor, and sometimes with what has ap-' peared to; be a flourish intended to invite challenge. He has brought more scowls and resentment in the upper middle levels of the "bureaucracy," a "word he delights in using man any predecessor would have dared. Loyalty Above Quality In ordinary job patronage he has followed the' line of the "regular" Democrat But even in that sphere he has acknowledged loyalty above quality to an extent that was rarely shown by other y.

Here's happened: During the final marathon session of the Democratic Platform Committee before the convention opened at vMiami Beach, North, Carolina's balding, persuasive Dave Mc-Connell sought to amend the consumer plank. He contended that the plank would lead to interagency squabbling. He recommended, therefore, that the new consumer agency be- restricted by two little, words, "amicus curiae."

Kennedy would be either No. 1 or No. 2 faded early, there is an important role for the senator from-Massachusetts. Kennedy will fly to Miami Beach after the nominees are chosen to make a plea for party unity and support of the ticket in the rough, tough campaign ahead. This is the.

report circulating here, encouraged by the McGovem forces. The youthful Kennedy will stand on the rostrum saluting the presidential and vice presidential nominees and calling for the worriers to turn in their weapons and unite to the Republican President. Kennedy can speak to Mayor Richard J. Daley (unless in high dudgeon' he has already stalked out of the convention hall) and to Mrs. Shirley Cljisholm, to the leftist young and to the' elders of the party who were so much part of the Kennedy rise to fame and power.

Alienation Has Gone Far -Whether or not this dream materializes one thing is painfully evident. The alienation, the "fragmentation all have -gone sofar that a peacemaker above the battle must try to quiet the strife arid bring at least a facade of unity. Kennedy kept out of the primaries despite intense pressure from the McGovern strategists, many of whom were associates of his brother, President John.F. Kennedy. He endorsed no candidate.

A liberal, an urban Roman Catholic, the sponsor of far-reaching legislation in medicine and other fields, he is ideally suited to appeal for unity behind the populist from South Dakota. What fa so ironic in the confusing fracas is the wealth of able men in the Democratic party and notably in the South, which in the transition from the folkways of the old Confederacy has been hailed as the new South. Voices of New South alone. They scored important triumphs in 1970 when the Republicans ran a troglodyte campaign that was almost 1y definition self-defeating. But how in the wake of this divisive, gathering they are left with a sense of nowhere to go.

One of the most personable IDembcrats here for the convention is Minnesota's Gov. WendaU R. Anderson. At 39, the youngest governor in the nation, Anderson was one of only three Democratic governors at the recent Governors' Conference who said that Senator McGovern should carry their respective states. The other two were from South Dakota and Wisconsin.

jice he made that confident predic- tkm the Democrats in Minnesota held statewide convention and adopted resolutions so far out as to alienate many voters. They called -for approval of homosexual marriages, the legalization of marijuana and immediate amnesty for all deserters and draftees who fled abroad. Anderson, who stayed off the delegation in defiance to the reform rules, has his estimate of what a McGovern ticket can do in his state. Dilemma of Peacemaker This is the dilemma any peacemaker confronts how to reconcile the far-out positions of many of the young who helped McGovern win his primaries with- "the much slower-moving changes that have been in progress. The end result can be stubborn resistance, heels dug in to thwart any chance and a drive to turn the clock baqk, if possible.
