Compromises can produce surprises of all kinds By ART BUCHWALD WASHINGTON Everyone lias his own scenario for this week's Democratic National Convention. The way things hare been going with the party, one scenario has much validity as the nest. This is the one that I have written and if it comes true, remember, you read it here. is (he fourth day of the convention and the Democrats have been unable to decide on a presidential candidate. The fight to seat delegations has taken up three days and those people who were ruled ineligible have refused to give up their seats to those whu were officalty designated as delegates to the convention.

Almost every slate delegation has fcivo people sitting in every chair. No one dares leave the floor for fear that someone will grab his seat. When someone tries to speak he is hoofed down by the opposition faction. Larry O'Brien, the chairman Df (he party, has the podium ringed with the National Guard so no one can grab the microphone. The nomination speeches have not been heard, but the candidates have beer, nominated McGovem, Humphrey, Wallace, Chisholm, Jackson and Muskie.

There have been no demonstrations for the candidates in the hall because everyone is afraid i he gets up and marches they won't let him back in his section again. ON THE first ballot McGovem picked up votes, well shy or the 1,509 ho needed. The rest were split between the other candidates with the uncommitted refusing to vote for anyone. The second and third ballot ound no one budging. By the tenth ballot of Wednesday's all night session, lite convention was hopelessly deadlocked.

The state 'delegations caucused right on Ihe floor, trying to get people fo change their minds. But it was impossible. On NBC, John Chancellor and David Brinklcy became short tempered and refused to talk (o cadi other. Howard K. Smith and Harry leasnner on ARC ere also not speaking to each other, and on CBS, Walter Cron kile wasn't talking Lo himself.

Because of the deadlock at Ihe convention, he is the only one who can possibly beat Nixon in November.

The compromise candidate is not at the cnnvenlion. He has purposely stayed away so people would believe he was not interested in the nomination. O'Brien puts in a call to him.
