t948 Member of the Audit Bureau of TlVE CENTS PER COPY EIGHTEEN PAGES THE ALSOPS Changes in Republican Party Noted ny Joseph and Stewart AIsop In tho long run, tho public emergence of a new kind ot Republicanism is likely to be considered thc most Important event of this convention. It was because thc Republican party had already chiinKecl greatly, without many people really noticing it, thnt Thomas Dewey and Earl Warren were so quickly chosen as tho standard bearers. Duwey ivnd Warren sym- tho fliuil triumph of thc modern-minded Republicans, -whose very existence has sometimes been obscured by the disproportionate number of men Hko Representative John Taber In thc Republican majority In Contacts. Tho proof of the-se conclusions Is to bo found, curiously enough, in the miscalculation In the strategy of tho small political underground that proposed to draft Senator Arthur H. Vanclenber? for thc presidency.

Sn astute a politician as Senator Henry Cabot Lodge firmly believed, until thc very day tho convention opened, that the forces of Governor Dewey and Senator Robert A. Taft would bo so evenly balanced as to produce a deadlock It Is ancient history that the idea then was to offer Vnndonbcrg as compromise. WHAT IN FACT happened was that the forces of Senator Taft, who commanded the support of the Republican right wing, turned out to be much weaker than had been expected. Senator Taft himself comos out of thc convention, ns one could have anticipated, with Increased stature. From start to finish, ho showed unfailing strength of character, good sportsmanship and an odd.

attractive kind of im personal common sense. No deadlock materialized, not because Taft failed as a leader, but simply because of tho increasing rarity of thc men designed In the classical Imago of the old-fash- Jonecl Republicanism men Hko Tnft's Texan supporter, Colonel R. H. Crcagcr. who becnmo mnstcr of the pfvrty In Texas under Warren Gamaliel Harding: or old Harrison Sparkler ot Iowa, or Taft's manager, Clurenco Brown of Ohio.

Although very different from Taft In character, these wcro the men who constituted tho Taft bloc. And they not only relatively small minority of the whole convention; although they aro reputed to be thc practical masters of the political craft, they were also constantly outsmarted by DcwoyXbrllllant organization, headed by Herbert Brown- cll. Look at thr 'huge Brown, whose natural habitat seems to be a smoke-filled room. Then look at the slender, precise Brownell, who seems to bo rather out of place away from KOOCI law office or modernist professor's platform. You seo at once the difference between tho old Republican party nncl the new.

THK CANDIDATES themselves, of course, express tho change in the Republican pnrty better than any one else. Of Dowey's record, nothing needs to be saltl. because everything has been said so often already. His character, however, re- miiliis surprisingly purallnp, considering the length and great importance of his public service. He Is not the sort of political Iraclfr who arouses any personal fervor ot affection among his followers, ft Is rmrcl to know why this Is so.

On the other hand, he has around him, as the.ic reported at the time of his ro-clrcllon to tho New York Governorship, the best staff that any American political chlettaln In a good ninny decades has ever possessed. And from this stall, he com- inaiicls really passionate loyalty. In short, lie must bo much more likable at close range than on a platform, and this Is Important, for a man's personal a must Inevitably know- all his sramy titles.

He said: "I have no machine. I head no faction. I make no secret agreements. I bow to no pressure groups. I shall plead my case before the bar of public opinion.

"We can no longer mark time or subordinate future of our state and its people to selfish purposes of fading party masters or unbridled ambitions of their obedient lieutenants. I appeal to champions of free government who believe in government under law and are opposed to government by capricious ano selfish adventurers in vineyards of civic glory."

Young Lobster Fisherman Rides 60-Foot Whale Provincetown, Mass. A story worthy of competing with the top thrilling tales of the old ivhallnff days was recorded today by a 17-year-old lobster fisherman who "roclc" a 60-foot mammal bareback. The strange story was told by Frank E.

Cabral, after he brought ashore by his father yesterday. Frank nnd his dad were haul- Insr lobster pots in separate dories about 500 yards apart off Race point when a huge whale came up rifht under Frank's small dory. Both Frank and boat were thrown, he estimated, about 15 feet into the air. When he came down, the younK fisherman said, he landed on the whale's back. He dusr his fingers deep into the soft blubber.

After a short ride of "20 knots or better," Frank related, the whale sounded and he took a long chance and dove off before tbc mammal submerged.

Hightowcr Washington ---W)-- The United tates rushed a fleet of huge cargo planes to Germany today to help jreak a Russian blockade of ground transport to western Berlin. As food supplies dwindled for 000 000 Bcrliners, diplomats predicted the western powers shortly would make a direct demand on tho Kremlin to lift the traffic nooso from their sectors. Air Force headquarters announces last night that about 39 of the Die four-engine C-54 flying boxcars lad been ordered to Germany to help ferry lood and other urgently needed supplies into the American sector of Berlin. The action gave one more indication of the determination of the United States, along with Britain and Prance, to stand fast and resist Soviet efforts to block rail, highway and canal transport into the city.

Pressure on Berlin Officials here interpret the Russian actions as designed primarily to force the three western powers out of Berlin and then convert it nto the communist-controlled capital of an eastern German, state. A British foreign office spokesman said yesterday in London that ihe western nations were considering a direct "approach" to Moscow, evidently in an effort to obtain an order from Premier Stalin which would reverse the Soviet policies In Berlin and ease the highly dangerous situation developing there. State department officials had no comment on the British statement. Tile London, spokesman did not make clear what form the "approach." would take, whether in single note or three similar notes. However, arguments the threw powers have made to date against the Russian actions Indicate the approach probably would fce, based on two major points.
