These people do not like the platforms adopted by either the Republican or Dem ocratic parties, in convention, and it has been proposed that they call themselves the Ail-American Party. Unfortunately, the latest third party effort got off to a rather confused and fizzling start. Sessions began one day and on the afternoon of the second day, dis cussion of a third party became heated and involved. Dr. George Washington Robnett, of Evanston, Illinois, president of the Church League of America, who was presiding at the session, entertained a motion to adjourn and saw it carried by about 96-7. He then left the platform. But then another group, the Minute Women of the United States, took over and elected a New York economics magazine editor as the new chairman and the group proceed ed to organize a third party. Thus, the third party attempt arises in the midst of a split among its proponents. The predic tion is that it will suffer the same fate as that suffered by all third parties, thus far, in this Republic. BIDDING FOR THE NEGRO VOTE It is now evident that both the Demo crats and the Republicans will make a strong effort to get the northern Negro vote. In checking the party platforms, we see that the two parties chose their words carefully. The Republicans, who at the time that the platform was written were hoping to crack the solid South, did not come out for a Federal Fair Employment Practice Commission with compulsory powers, but promised federal laws "to further just and equitable treatment" in employment. The Democrats also used evasive gen eralizations in dealing with FEPC, the crux of the civil rights issue. They prom ised in their platform "Federal legislation effectively to secure" equal employment opportunities. After the two national conventions, the Republicans saw Stevenson apparently sew up the South. Governor Hugh L. White of Mississippi emerged from a conference with Stevenson and announced: "I'm for him." South Carolina's Governor James Byrnes led the state's party machinery back in support of the national Democratic party. Republicans changed their strategy, decided to let the South go, and to make a stronger bid for the northern Negroes. Sixteen Eisenhower leaders isued a state ment that a Republican victory would speed up the enactment of a compulsory FEPC. A delegation of Negroes visited Eisenhower and stated after the meeting that they were convinced that he would change his mind and support a compulsory FEPC. The majority of the Negroes have in recent years been voting democratic. It is generally conceded, however, that Eisen hower will be able to tear away from the Democratic party a sizable portion of the Negro vote, because many Negroes are bit ter over the nomination of John Spark man of Alabama, for the vice-presidency. Congressman Adam Powell, who is a little left of the left wing in the Democratic party, has urged his followers to vote only the state and local democratic ticket unless Stevenson takes a "forthright" stand. Many Negro leaders have expressed the opinion, however, that the majority of the Negro vote will go democratic, be cause of the fact that Negroes have great ly benefited from the New Deal social legislation, irrespective of the civil rights issue.

Other mem- bers of the Cabinet had stood around waiting, though the President with Secretary of State Acheson and Ambassador Averell Harriman did not arrive until just before Stevenson. Harriman. incidentally, did not ; look happy. Not only had he lost ! days before. President Truman had told the press that he had never supported Harriman for the nomination. Stevenson, apologizing for his lateness, remarked: "Even in. this mechanical age you can't depend on keeping appointments."

Marlin "Do vnn nrnvirie couches for D. Clausner of the Navy rather all the cabinet members after such an elaborate luncheon?" "There wouldn't be enough couches to go around." the pres ident smiled. During the luncheon. Dean Acheson, in a genial mood, en tertained the group with jokes: and about the only political question decided was that the president would make his Labor Day speech in Detroit in the morning. Thus they would get cracks at both the afternoon and morning newspapers. Toward the end of the lunch eon. Stevenson, remarking that he had to watch his figure, said to the president: "The luncheon was delicious political campaign." After that Truman took Stev enson and Sparkman off for a 40-minute conference in the House. No Whistle-Stops The White House staff and the Stevenson staff, meanwhile, had been lunching together. And after the private session The Washington Merry -Go-Round than General Bradley.

The Illinois governor asked no questions, listened intently. Most interesting briefing came from Gen. Beedle Smith, chief of Central Intelligence, on the ouestion of Iran. Secretary of State Acheson talked for two minutes on var ious diplomatic hot spots around the world. Presidential assistant Steel man also talked about the steel strike, most of which had been in the newspapers. His only significant statement was.

(Copyright 1949, By the Bell Syndicate, Inc.) DREW PEARSON SAYS: TRUMAN'S ATTITUDE TOWARD STEVENSON IS FATHERLY BUT IMPATIENT; HST WILL MAKE NO WHISTLE STOP TOURS; STEVENSON PLANS SIX MAJOR CAMPAIGN TRIPS. Washington. Those who sat with Ad lai Stevenson and Harry S. Truman during their conferences this week say that the president's attitude toward the Democratic nominee was that of a father toward a slow-moving son itching to get the boy out into battle. Truman was benign, gracious, and as far as he himself was concerned, retiring. He told Stevenson that he awaited his command, and that it was up to him, Stev enson, to call the shots. The president never showed it, but those who know him well say that his feelings have been just a bit hurt that Stevenson considers it so necessary to keep his campaign divorced from the ad ministration. For instiNice, a big political rally in New York during the last two days of the campaign has been discussed, at which Stevenson and Senator Spark-! thence probably man would speak along with President Truman and Vice President Barkley. How ever, the question also has arisen as to whether this would align Stevenson too closely with the president, and a decision is slilL in abeyance. These are some of the things that could on nsp 'f rirtinn hpfwopn tVin nrpsirlpTit hik! the man on whom his mantel may fall. So Xt 3 t' Pernor woSS tiring chairman Frank McKin nev. joined the three in the ex ecutive offices. Out of these and other con ferences there has gradually emerged a general pattern for the Democratic campaign. The bie question of whether the president will undertake a whistle-stop tour has been de cided, for the time being, in the negative. The president will take no ex tensive trips by train with rear platform appearances. He will, however, make speeches in some oi the big eastern cities, proo-; ably New York. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, while another trip to dedicate Hungry Horse Dam in Montana is -contemplated. This would be by air. not train, and. after the dedication in Montana, the president would probably tour parts of Oregon and Washington. The Stevenson schedule shap es up tentatively as follows: Trip No. 1 to the Far West Would begin about Sept. 2 and conclude about Sept. 14. The governor would fly to Albuquer que. N.M., Phoenix, Ariz., then Los Angeles for speeches. From Los Angeles, he would go by train along the California coast, stopping en route for rear-platform appearances as far as San Francisco. Then he would go by plane to Portland. Seattle. Butte. Montana: Then either to Boise or Pocatello, Idaho, with a stop at Casper or Cheyenne. Wyo., another at Omaha, one in Iowa, and then back to Springfield. Trip No. 2 to the South Would begin about Sept. 15 with stops at St. Louis. Oklahoma City. Dallas and Houston. From there, the. governor would fly either to New Orleans or Miami. to Atlanta. then to Raleigh. N.C.. near which spme of his relatives live, then to Norfolk, Va., then home via Louisville. Ky.. and perhaps Evansvillc, Ind. Trip No. 3 to the Industrial East Would begin in earlv October by train, with stops in Indiana, Ohio.
