August 4, TUB ABILENE KBTtF AMIenf, WHAT'LLTHEY SAY IN 2452? Better Conventions in'56 -That's Political Coal By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON must have been the free criticism from practically everybody that upset the politicians, momentarily. They're talking of making the 1956 conventions better. But with four years fo regain control of themselves they should be able lo keep improvements (o a minimum. There's a reason tor not rushing, as anyone who looks 500 years ahead can see. The critics have been particularly harsh about the mass demonstrations that followed the, brief, 30 i man-who nominating speeches.

They have labeled these riots on the floor as phony as a bunt with rubber oars since the delegates waited so calmly for the signal to become hysterical and some wore several candidates' buttons. But in 2,542 A. D. an anthropoid- Baptists Open Camp Today LUEDERS, Aug. 4 The 17th District Baptist Brotherhood Encampment was to open at 4 p.

m. Monday afternoon with registration at the Luedcrs Baptist Encampment grounds. The Rev. Sterling L. Price, pastor of Abllcne's University Baptist Church, will he one of Ihe principal speakers.

Olhcr featured speakers will be LI. Col. Charles L. Clamble from the Adjutant General's Department of Texas; and GtennyMcI.aughlln. who Is chief of the Bureau of Identification and Records, Texas Department of Public Safety.

McLauffhlln will speak on "Men and Boys." The evening's program will he centered around "Men and the Church." The two-day encampment annually attracts several hundred Baptist men from this area. A barbecue supper will he served at 6 p. m. Monday, nml a fish supper hns been arranged for Tuesday evening. James Foster, State Baptist Training Union will lead the men's song service that Rets underway nl 7:15 p- m.

Fred Sides, president of I lie Jones County Baptist Association, will give the welcome address at 7:30 p. m. Richard Thompson, president of the Callahan County Baptist Association, will bring a devotional al 7:40 p. m. McLaushlin will spuak nl 7:50 p.

Price to speak at 9:05. gist might feel this spectacle was an invaluable link between the early American tribal dances and the mating call of the albatross. It's the economists find sociologists of that time who might run into difficulty determining the precise significance of the buttons of two candidates on the lapel of one delegate. To the economist II would be pretly good proof that Americans of today had a fervent faith hi personal insurance while the sociologist might consider those two buttons as evidence of the will to win. no matter who wins.

The delegates who repeatedly In- the proceedings wilh demands thai their delegates be polled have been accused of stalling for time or just wanting to be seen on TV. Hut In 500 years a few hours or days lost In 1952 or 195G conventions won't seem important. So the polling of delegations Is not a problem for those politicltins who worry about how we'll look lo our descendants. This doesn't mean vigorous steps shouldn't be taken to provide more TV time for those delegates who ask for pulling only because they like lo he In focus. The broadcasting companies, which hardly ever seem lo mention money In connection with TV lime, could help out in this problem at no expense to the delegates.

If they set up private rooms U'lth TV cameras, one for each delegate, each could he seen individually by the folks back home as often us he pleased. And II would lie short-sighted Indeed lo tamper with the convention oratory which the critics so sourly regarded as bombast and contempt for the intelligence of the listening public. These orators wonderfully simplify problems which might otherwise seem hopelessly complex lo public puzzled to know whom to lilnnic and whom to praise for what happened In the past tour years. They do (his by dividing the political world iiiln saints and sinners. And If one orator sounds exactly like nil the olhcrs It's probably only because he wishes to bring those people up to dale who tuned In late, and not because be uotildn'l think of anything better.

And, of course, this remarkable quiet foretells many of the pleasures and satisfactions of owning a Cadillac. It promises rest, for instance--and relaxation--and peace of and a minimum of upkeep expense. So why not take our suggestion--and come in and drive this beautiful Golden Anniversary creation today?
