JACK BELL CONVENTION HALL Chicago () 1 The Democratic Con ventlon apparently bent on making Adlai Stevenson its presidential nominee rushed toward Its big moment today under' threat of a possible ugly North-South fight right at nominating time. Chairman Sam Rayburn said Louisiana, South Carolina and Virginia would be invited to answer to the roll call of states for nominating speeches. Since all three have balked at signing a loyalty pledge, that could precipitate a show down scrap then and there on whether they would be al lowed to cast their 64 votes in the convention. The fuse to touch It off would be for some delegate to cbaUenge that point their right to vote. The convention had started its nominations roll cafi when Ray-Jura passed this word to newsmen.

Sen. Richard Russell of Georgia, the Souths hope and pride, got his name before the convention first. Alabama, first on the alphabet, yielded to Georgia and venerable Walter George, Senate colleague of Russell, made the nominating speech. 4 Dem Platform Avoids Feud On, Cavil Rights Rayburn Whips Through Approval oi Document In Harmony Move By EDWIN B.

(United Press-Capital Times Telephoto) WASHINGTON tf) President Truman told the chieftains of the steel industry and the CIO to their faces today that they must end the economy-wrecking steel strike at once. Then he sent them to the Cabinet room of the White House to work out the differences that brought on the strike of 650,000 steelworkers 53 days ago.

Trumans pep talk lasted 10 minutes. The meeting between CIO head Philip Murray and Benjamin Fairless, head of the U. S. Steel went on fim. an hour and 40 minutes.

Murray and Fairless left the White House together and told newsmen theyd be back this afternoon. Fairless told newsmen we are going to discuss the situation with our own people. Murray confirmed the statement. There were no words of hope of a quick settlement, but an aura of optimism surrounded the meetings, The fact that Fairless and Murray planned to talk to their associates seemed to indicates that some kind of new formula for ending the strike was in the works, In a brief statement read to reporters, Fairless said: We have had a meeting with the President and Dr. Steelman and we have talked at length about our mutual problem.

We are each going to discuss the situation with our own people. shout of yea and no votes, put the national convention's official approval on the new campaign document early this morning. Delegates from Georgia ant Mississippi asked to be recorded as voting No, and one from Tennessee objected to the platforms lack of a congressional crime ln-vestigating committee plank.

Barkley Sets Convo Afire With Speech Consolation Prize9 Talk Stirs 'Frenzy Among Cheering Delegates By RELMAN MORIN CHICAGO (A They said Alben W.

Barkley was too old. They 8 aid he was a fine gentleman and a distinguished public figure, but heavy with years, too many years, to be the Democratic candidate for the presidency. The Democratic convention is on fire today because of the man who was too old. It is blazing with the new life and spirit he breathed into it Wednesday night when he spoke to more than 12,000 people, whipped them into a frenzy of excitement, and stirred one of the unforgetable spectacles of a generation. His appearance at the convention was intended as a kind of consolation prize for a man deeply hurt.

Three days before, the 74-year-old vice president was a candidate, campaigning actively to be his partys choice for the presidency. Then, as he put it, some self-anointed labor leaders suddenly withdrew the support he had supposed they would give him. They said he wamtoo old. Barkley took himself out of the race. There was a tremendous explosion of warmth and sympathy and affection when the Veep marched down the platform onto (he rostrum Wednesday night.

The organ began to play My Old Kentucky Home and rolling billows of music and cheering thunderec through the great hall. Barkley stood looking down at the demonstration, unsmiling, almost impassive. From time to time he waved and bowed, acknowledging a tremendous salute. It went on for 24 minutes, constantly hitting new peaks of sound and excitement. Finally, they let him speak.

He bad no manuscript and the Murray would add nothing to the Fairless statement but said he subscribed to it wholeheartedly. Sitting in on the talk between Murray and Fairless was. Dr. John R. Steelman, acting mobilization director, and the Presidents number one peacemaker in scraps between unions and management.

A White House spokesman told reporters that Truman in talking to aidless and Murray made pointed plea for a strike settlement and used very strong language, Looming ominously in the background was the threat of imminent paralysis to the nations defense effort. Defense Secretary Robert Lovett estimated that somewhere between 20 and 30 per cent of the expected arms production for this year would be lost because of the strike, the longest. steel production stoppage in the nations history. Travelogue ofaTrip To Chicago By WILLIAM T. EVJTJB ON MONDAY morning I decided to take a look at the Democratic convention before scooting back to Madison to escape the ferno of heat and humidity that was Chicago and the burlesque, the lunacy, the bought and paid-for the synthetic promotions for candidates, the wire-pulling, the double talk, and the hypocritical oratory and maneuvers associated with national political conventions.

National po- litical conventions have become gigantic fakes, they are no longer representative of the will of the people. Gen. Eisenhower came out of the Republican convention with the nomination and Gov. Stevenson may be the Democratic nominee. The people of Wisconsin and the majority of the other states never had an opportunity to vote for these men or to register their appraisal of them.

Is this what we call representative government? Why not a national primary law under which the people, not the bosses, will choose candidates for the high office of president of the United States? FRED GAGE came down from Madison after an early morning drive eager to see his first national convention. I gave Fred a ducat and a green ribbon badge with a medal carrying an accompanying explanation from the Democratic National Committee that the badge was for use of distinguished guests. This is some more of the hoakum associated with national conventions, the distinguished guests badges enable hundreds to put these mementos in their lock boxes for their children and grandchildren to look at in awe in the future even though the seats may have been way to hellengone up in a gallery just under the roof. WE ALLOWED AN hour to get out to the stockyards amphitheater where the convention is being held. When we flagged a taxi at the Sherman Hotel curb.

Cartoonist Dan Fitzpatrick and Editor Irving Dilliard of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch are also ing for transportation and so they joined us. It was an entertaining ride because Mr. Fitzpatrick began reminiscing about those early Chicago days back near the turn of the century when he was an impecunious young student from Superior at the Chicago Art Institute, Fitzpatrick related that when he first was doing cartoon work under the old Chicago Daily News in the days of Victor Lawson he followed the conventional pen and ink method of drawing cartoons. Later he pioneered the charcoal technique that now so dramatically portrays the Fitzpatrick punch, Here is a story that reveals Fitzpatricks high sense of personal integrity.

His contract with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch states that he shall never be required to draw a cartoon that conflicts with his own views. In 1948 the Post-Dispatch came out for Dewey for president Fitzpatrick quietly announced that he would not draw any in favor of the Dewey candidacy because he wouid not vote for Dewey. ON THE WAY to the stock-yards area in southwest Chicago, we traveled through a long sec tion of frame houses needing paint and rehabilitation and huddling together on narrow lots. These were the of the Chicago that Carl Sandburg portrayed so vividly in his We.

The Peopler and his Chicago poems. You remember, he called Chicago the hog butcher of the world. We soon detect the outer fringes of the stockyard smell and we note the huge contours of the Armour plant when we arrive at the amphitheater. A huge array of sweating Chicago police officers surrounc the amphitheater and direct delegates and guests to their entrances. What a relief, to get out of the sticky, hot taxicab and into the air-cooled amphitheater.

When we arrived the delegate section was less than half filled and there were vast stretches of unoccupied seats in the gallery. There were many empty seats throughout the morning session. We decided to take our seats and take a look at the celebrities who were beginning to appear for the days proceedings. Above the speakers platform was a large picture of Franklin D. Roosevelt on one side and Harry Truman on the other.

In between were the coops where Hans Kal-tenbom and the trained seals of the NBC, the CBS, the ABC, and the MBS networks were ready by Video and voice to spill the story by word and picture to millions of people over the country. Incidentally, I have heard much complaint about the network announcers butting in too much on the convention proceeding with their own versions and interpretations of what was going on Capital Times has received several Irate letters saying: We want to hear the convention proceedings. The announcers should stay in the background. (Continued on age 2, col. St By HAROLD E.

ENTWISTLE The Dane County Junior Fair, which opened today at the Fairgrounds south of Madison, is expected to break all records for attendance, number of entries, and enthusiasm. George Rodgerson, Fair man- 1 Sen. McCarthy Has Operation On Stomach Undergoes Major Surgery; Will Prevent Any Campaigning WASHINGTON (A Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis) today underwent a major stomach operation which his doctors said would keep him from taking any active part in his campaign for renomination. The senators office said the operation was performed at 7:30 a.

m. (EST) today at the U. S. Naval Hospital at Bethesda, where he had been recuperating from minor sinus surgery. A bulletin by Dr.

George W. Calv-er, official physician for members of Congress, said, a physical checkup at the hospital revealed a herniation of stomach through a rupture In the diaphragm. Hospital authorities announced that the operation was performed to mend a rupture in the large, fanlike muscle dividing the chest and abdominal cavities. The statement said McCarthy apparently was reacting quite satisfactorily and he should get along all right unless complications develop. The surgeon in charge of his case states that the operation will preclude any activities on the part of the senator for approximately two months Calver said.

He described the operation as major surgery. That touched off the expected rearing demonstration with Dixie all-out to do the honors for its Champion. With the long list of candidates, and attendant nominating speeches add demonstrations, it could be late in the day before tbe Louisiana-South Carolina-V irginia issue was reached. Backers of the Stevenson 'draft were trying to make it a bandwagon for him. Some supporters of other candidates conceded that Stevenson friends were giving it that look, but they werent conceding he could make it.

Many delegates who had been lolding back were hopping in behind the Illinois Governor. But Sens. Russell of Georgia and Estes Kefauver of Tennessee also were picking up votes from the big bloc of hitherto uncommitted delegates and weren't conceding a thing. Averell Harriman, the mutual security administrator, also was still plugging hard for the conventions grand prize. Kefauver, in news conference, declared: Im quite confident Ill be nominated.

He said he had picked up more than 60 delegates in the last 36 hours. If the votes of Virginia, Louisiana and South Carolina should be ruled out, the total of possible delegate votes on the presidential nominee would be 1,166 with 584 or 583 and a fraction needed to nominate. The convention was organized originally on the basis of 1,230 delegate votes, meaning a majority would be 615, plus a fraction. Convention managers planned to hold off on the actual balloting until a night session. A day meeting was set aside for the preliminaries of nominating speeches, demonstrations and the hoopla that sets the stage.

As the approached, Stevenson still wasn't saying whether he (Continued on page 2. coL 2) But skillful maneuvers by Bep. John W. McCormack of Massachusetts, platform chairman, and National Committee1 Chairman Frank McKinney produced a fair sample of party harmony. The shouted adoption, after McCormack had read the nearly 8,000 words to tired delegates, was sweet music to party leaders who feared a repetition of 1948.

In that year a tetter floor battle for a stronger racial relations plank split the party wide open, and in the November election four Southern states were absent from the Democratic column. Aiding In the unity efforts this me were Sen. John Sparkman of Alabama, for Southerners, nd Philip B. Perlman, who recently resigned as solicitor general. Curiously, both Dixie delegates, who insist that states and communities can best handle racial prob-ems, and Northerners, who want strong federal action, are claiming victory.

The answer Is that the same words and phrases, if handled skillfully, mean different things to different people. Northerners such as Sens. Lehman of New York, Humphrey of Minnesota and Benton of Connecticut claimed the new plank was much stronger than 1948s. Southerners such as Sens. Sparkman, Holland of Florida and Willis Smith of North Carolina said prts of the plan went a bit too far but they preferred party harmony to a fight Actually the compromise was settled in two separate sections of the platform.

-Northerners had insisted on a Continuea on page 2. cot 4) By MILES McMILLDT CHICAGO The 1952 Democratic platform, adopted here eariy this morning, was hailed today by Wisconsin Democratic leaden as the meat platform ever written by any major politics party. Although some of the Wisconsin delegates were disappointed about some of the planks in the platform, they were unanimous in their praise of the oveieall document They were particularly pleased by the plank promising a liberalization df the cloture rule in the United States Senate to end Southern filibusters against civil rights egislation and were disappointed at the failure of the platform to take a stand In favor of the St Lawrence Seaway. if Wisconsin leaders took the Initiative in conferring with leaders from Michigan and Minnesota on the floor early this morning on whether to make a floor fight for the Seaway plank. They decided against making a fight when it became apparent that they could not get the support to win despite President Trumans all-out endorsement of the Seaway proposal.

Former Congressman Andrew J. Biemiller of Milwaukee, who served on the Platform Committee, said that the effort to put a Seaway plank into the platform lost in the committee by a few votes. The opposition to the plank, he said, was led by Sen. Matthew Neeley of West Virginia and the labor unions in the railroad and coal-mining industries. Biemiller, who led the fight for a strong civil rights plank in.

1948 at Philadelphia, said that the 1952 plank pledges the party to everything mat was in the 1948 plank and, in addition, to the important provision for a change in the cloture rule to prevent filibustering against civil rights legislation in the U.S. Senate. Mrs. Edna Bowen, Lancaster, Democratic candidate for Congress from the Third District, also was member of the Platform Committee. The farm plank was called 'ringing victory for liberal-farm forces by the National Farmers Union in a news letter to its membership release here Thursday morning.

The plank, the Farmers Union said, reverses the position on pai ity taken in the 1948 convention (Continued on page 2. coL 14 2 Shocks of Quake Felt In California vl Possibility of a crippling strike in a second vital industry coal made the picture even darker.

Junior Fair at Madison last year. Wednesday afternoon and today an estimated 1,300 Dane County farm youths members of 4-H and Future Farmer and Future Homemaker groups worked preparing their record-smashing 4,000 entries and exhibits for judging, which began this afternoon.

A total of $5,600 in premiums is being offered to exhibitors through the Dane County Fair Association. George Dehnert, associate Dane County agent, who is in charge of livestock, said farm youths are displaying enthusiasm never before equaled in a fair in the County. All livestock has been examined for anthrax, a disease which has caused considerable concern in the State this year, and all animals have been given clean bills of health. of the livestock activities will be the awarding Friday or Saturday of the junior and senior showmanship awards and the coveted Oscar Rennebohm showmanship trophy being offered by the former governor.

Total 16.726.75 Heres the Controversial Civil Rights Plank Following is the controversial civil rights plank which was adopted by the Democratic National Convention: The Democratic Party is committed to support and advance the individual rights and liberties of all Americans. Our country is founded on the proposition that all men are created equal. This means that all citizens are equal before tbe law and should enjoy equal political rights. They should have equal opportunities for education, for economic advancement, and for decent living conditions. We will continue -our efforts to eradicate discrimination based on race, religion, or national origin.

We know this task requires action, not just in one section of tbe nation, but to all sections. It requires the co-operative efforts of individual citizens and action by state and local governments. It also requires federal action. The federal government must live up to the ideals of the Declaration of Independence and must exercise the powers vested in it by the Constitution. We are proud of the progress that has been made In securing equality of treatment and opportunity in the nation's armed forces and the civil service and all areas under federal jurisdiction.

The Department of Justice has taken an important part to successfully arguing In the courts for the elimination of many illegal discriminations, including those involving rights to own and use real property, to engage to gainful occupations, and to enroll in publicly supported higher educational institutions. Wq are determined that the federal government shall continue such policies. At the same time, we favor federal legislation effectively to secure these rights to everyone: 1 The right to equal opportunity for employment; 2 The right to security of persons; 3 The right to foil and equal participation to the nations political life; toe from arbitrary restraints. We also favor legislation to perfect existing federal civil rights statutes and to strengthen tho administrative machinery for the protection of civil rights. The first application for a television station in Madison on one of the UHF, or ultra high 're-quency channels, was filed in Washington this week by the Bar-tell 'Broadcasters, of Milwaukee, headed by Gerald A.
