JULY 25. 1952 MONROE (LA.) NEWS- STAR PAGE FIVE FAIR ENOUGH Continued from First Paget anywhere in town as a preventive measure to the number of nine by Wednesday night and there was no complaint of any snatch of poke, roll or turnip except oiip jewelled watch which seemed likely to have just come loose and been lost with honor. The gismo of the whole command of all habits and specialties was Capt. Redmond Gibbons, whose Job beset him with poignant social and diplomatic problems. Tnis is not by choice but by force of circumstances that motorcycle rscorts have been shrilling through the streets at mad speed delivering impudent swine of the payroll hierarchy to the nail and their ho- to the r.

and smoke- filled rooms, to the peril and smoldering indignation of the faceless American. After all, this is a Democratic town and when a gang of bums suddenly showed up in a dirty alley alongside the hall in a spontaneous noble inspiration to draft Harry S. Truman, bearing lettered placards to that effect, Capt Gibbons could not find it in him to chase them off. The cdstom of hiring mildewed alcoholics from the dumps to form ragged ranks outside the building and troop through on signal acclaiming the people's choice has made it difficult to maintain order. In fact, Andy Frain, the contracting chief usher and marshal of the famous elite corps which ennobles his name at many American galas, was jabbed stoutly in the diaphragm with a rolled newspaper in the meaty hand of a determined lads Democrat and horizontalized briefly when be tried to repel a wave of crashers on opening night Mr.

Frain had orders to admit only 150 hpad for each spontaneous popular demand but when he tried to stem the rash the stampede overran him. Mr. Frain it a phenomenal ttpe- eialis?

Custom was till then, and still is in some New York festi- I vities, for the ushers to sell off the first five rows at private venture I and push the patrons around in cyn- ical violation of their lawful i rights. Having been an usher, Mr. Frain knew that, and some of the patrons on this first occasion tried to bribe him anyway even when he explained that they were sitting in their own seats already paid for. Thereafter the Frain usher service developed into the remarkable staff which at these two conventions included 25 young men who are taking preliminary studies for the Catholic priesthood at Quigley Seminary. The rest were all either college students or advanced high school men and most of the corps were over six feet tall.

They were clean, alert, polite, highly respectable and unmistakably superior as a group to the specimens gathered here with the effoniery to try to impose a president on the United States. A small group of these youths, in varying stages of disattire during a change of shifts, fell to examining the constitutional provisions for the election of presid nts and were far better versed in the basic facts than any orator from the podium bad been. One of them asked why social security was unconstitutional. I asked him to cite to me that portion of the Constitution which gave the national government authority to make a citizen buy an insurance policy which he want at a price arbitrarily fixed by the vendor. He said he would think it over, which will be a feat of cerebration beyond the powers and the morals of any delegate then howling in the current spontaneous popular demand.

His talk was as impassioned as Long's.

Gov. Kennon, speaking for the majority of the delegation, declared that Louisiana could not and would not sign the loyalty pledge and concluded: and God bless you." Despite his indication that he was leaving the convention, he returned to his scat After that Virginia was seated oa a roll call. By a queer parliamentary quirk. he had qualified as an individual delegate under the Moody was able to cast Louisiana's 20 votes for seating Virginia. That came about because where there are vacancies the remaining delegate or delegates can cast the entire delegation vote.

Actually, was not alone. He was joined by J. Loney Autin of Algiers and Louis Roussel of New Orleans, who Likewise qualified. After Virginia was seated the convention droned on for a time, completing presidential nominations. Then it turned abruptly to Louisiana and South Carolina on a motion by Gov Battle of Virginia to scat the two groups.

By this time the Louisianians had agreed on a statement to make to the convention. National Committeeman Frank Ellis originally planned to make it but in a strategy move it ultimately was made by Long. ThL statement apparently- was sufficient to let Louisiana pass muster. The statement; are grateful for the opportunity to assure this great convention that Louisiana does affirm the identical representations that were made by the distinguished governor of Virginia and that in November the nominees of this convention will be on the Louisiana Iasud cheers greeted the reading of this statement However, Kennon told a reporter that actually represents no change in our position hataoev The statement did not pledge that the nominee would go on the ballot under the Rooster emblem.

And: Thy love motivate us, and Thy will be Whipped in a terrific last night- early today battle over seating Southern rebels against a loyalty pledge.

Kefauver-Harriman backers had hoped for a shift of sentiment in the hours between the early morning adjournment and today's assembly for the payoff session. With the Mart of balloting only a few hours away, the Associated Press tabulation of known first ballot standings was: Kefauver 2724 Stevenson 215 Sen. Richard Russell of Georgia 207 Harriman 1074 Others 2474 Uncommitted 1794 Needed to nominate 6154 Working together in what they have styled a combine which has attracted supporters of some other candidates, Kefauver and Harriman took a 615 to 529 licking in efforts to prevent the 28- vote Virginia delegation from balloting on presidential and vice presidential nominees. It was the first time such a coalition has been defeated on an important roll call in a Democratic convention since the early days of the late Franklin D. Roosevelt.

The result might presage a swing toward a more conservative type of campaign if Stevenson emerges as the winner especially if he gets Southern support in the nomination drive being put on for him.

The letter from Dickerson came in response to a request by Wall that the attorney office hand down a decision as to whether or not the funds were now available for capital outlay. According to the decision.

54 of 1950 designated the fund to a specific purpose, the construction of a gymnasium on the campus of Northeast Louisiana State College; while Act 617 of 1952 provides that these funds may be used for the purpose of constructing, furnishing and equipoing additional buildings and demolishing, replacing, remodeling or enlarging any existing buildings on the campus of Northeast Louisiana State Dickerson said that after careful examination of both bills are of the opinion that the funds can be used as the school authorities see fit as long as they are used as capital outlay.

When the strike was only five weeks old, officials reported the loss already had canceled out the entire expansion of the industry since Korea. Loss of arms and equipment for the armed forces were estimated by Secretary of Defense Lovett at 20 to 30 per cent of this planned military deliveries.

Woods' address was given as 1300 South First Street. Mrs. Ruth Wood, estranged wife of Wood, who as allegedly beaten at the same time as her sister, said that she had been separated from Wood for a considerable time and that Wood had never lived at 1300 South First Street.
