WASHINGTON July — (AP)—
President Truman told the ieaders
of the warring steel factions in a
dramatic face-to-face meeting at
the White House today that they
must settle quickly the devastat
ing strike of 650,000 steelworkers,
Then the President sat the lead
ers of the two sides down to thrash
out the issues which caused the
strike that has closed down the
nation’s steel mills for 53 days.
Strong Language
A White House spokesman said
that Truman in talking with Ben
jamin Fairless, president of U. 8.
Steel Corp., and Philip Murray,
head of the striking CIO wunion,
used very strong language.
The appeal, the spokesman said,
amounted to an ultimatum.
Reporters asked Fairless and
Murray what they thought of the
prospects of a speedy#settlement.
Both smiled and answered: “No
comment.”
Today’s conference was one of
the more dramatic meetings be
tween Truman and chieftains of
labor and industry. In order to
talk with them, the President put
off a planned visit to the Demo
cratic national convention until
tomorrow.
Truman apparently was making
the administration’s final big try
to bring accord between the in
dustry and Murray’s striking
steelworkers.
Acting Defense Mobilizer John
R. Steelman, whose repeated me
diation attempts to stop the crip
pling strike have failed, was asked
to sit in during the dramatic presi
dential appeal to both sideg for
an immediate end to the walkout.
Paralysis Threat
Looming ominously in the back
graund was the threat of imminent
paralysis to the nation’s defense
effort.
Defense Secretary Robert Lovett
estimated that “somewhere be
tween 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 nation’s history.
Possibility of a crippling strike
in a second vital industry—coal—
made the picture even darker.
John L. Lewis was reported to
have notified at least part of the
soft coal industry the present con
tracts will end in two months.
Judging from past experience,
that means a strike or slowdown
in coal fields is all but inevitable
if a new contract is not signed by
Sept. 22.
Big Obstacle

They said Alben W. Barkley was
“too old.”
They said he was a fine gentle
man 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.”
New Life
1t is blazin% with the new life
and spirit he breathed into it last
night when he spoke to more than
12,000 people, whipped them into
a frenzy of excitement, and stirred
one of the unforgettable specta
cles of a generation. :
His appearance at the conven
tion was intended as a kind of
“consolation prize” for a man
deeply hurt.
Three days before, the 74-year
old vice president was a candi
date, campaigning actively to be
his party’s choice for the presi
dency.
Then, he put it, “some self
anointed labor leaders” suddenly
withdrew the support he had
supposed they would give him.
They said he was “too old.” :
Barkley took himself out of the
race.

Georgia Watches
Confab Closely -
By WILBUR JENNINGS
CHICAGO, July 24—(AP)—To
day the eyes of Georgia are upon
Chicago.
Before the end of the long and
momentous day, the state may
know whether its native son, Sen.
Richard B. Russell, is to be the
Democratic party’s standard bear
er in the 1952 campaign.
And, if he isn’t will he accept
the vice presidential nomination
if the Democratic national con=-
vention offers it to him?
Only Top Spot
Russell says he is interested
only in the top spot. But some
friends want him to take second
place if he loses the first.
They say:
“This is one way for the South
t oget its foot in the front door of
the White House. And in four
years we’ll show them that they
were wrong in not nominating him
tor president in 1952.”
Stringing along with him for the
presidential nomination from first
to last—or until he releases them
—are Georgia’s 28 delegates to the
convention.
Four years ago, Russell’s name
went before the convention and
he picked up 263 votes as the
South’s favorite son before the
nod went to Harry Truman.
Strong Character
Russell has picked himself off
the political ropes before.
In 1932 he apparently was fa
cing defeat in his first senatorial
race against Charles R. Crisp. In
the last three weeks of the cam
paign, he rallied and went on to
win,
~ Again in 1936, he faced the then
unbeaten Gene Talmadge in a hot
campaign for reelection. Russell
won., i
Last night Russell was telling
close friends, “I feel better about
my chances of winning than I
ever have.”

Bandwagon Fur Stevenson Continues
But Other Candidates Still In Fight
BY JACK BELL
CONVENTION HALL, CHICAGO, July 24.—(AP)—
The Democratic convention came to its candidate-picking
time today with “Draft Stevenson” sentiment running
highe oot D oaade - o
_"K;aelegates began trooping into
this big amphitheater for the eli
mactic day of the party’s 81st
nominating convention, it was an
odds-on bet that the presidential
nomiation would be thrust upon
Adlai Stevenson who says he
wants only to run for re-election
as Illinois governor.
Still Pitching
But Sens. Richard Russell, of
Georgia and Estes Kefauver, of
Tennessee were still in there
pitching, So was Averell Marri
man, the mutual security adminis
trator.
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 hour approached, Steven
son still wasn’t saying whether he
would accept. But nobody doubted
that he would.
The 52-year-old Illinois gov
ernor may be tabbed on a short
count ballot with three Southern
states—South Carolina, Virginia
and Loulsiana—sitting it out.
Dixie Sitdown 2
This Dixie sitdown, prometed
by a feud over a party loyalty
pledge, seemed likely to impel the
selection of a Southerner for sec
ond place on the ticket.
This would be a direct attempt
to offset the reputed popularity of
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, the
GOP presidential nominee, below
the Mason and Dixon line.
For this role, delegates were
»poir;lt;x:fl toward Sen. Russell—if

which he would trade a powerful
place in the Senate for the stand
by job of vice president.
If he is unavailable, Sens. John
Sparkman of Alabama and Wil
liam Fulbright of Arkansas, both
with “Fair Deal” leanings, were
handy. °~
10th Ballot Win
Russell’s campaign manager,
Sen. Edwin Johnson of Colorado,
predicted the Georgia senator
would win the presidential nomi
nation on the 10th ba!'ot. |
The camps of other avowed
candidates also exuded public
confidence,
Sen. Kefauver, leading the field
in publicly committed delegates,
plugged away at getting secondary
choice ballots after the first eount.
Credited with 268 sure votes, he
expected many more on that ini
tial test.
Supporters of Harriman clung
to the hope that the Stevenson
draft movement would flop and
the party would turn to its only
all-out “Fair Deal” candidate,
namely Harriman.
Sen. Robert §. Kerr of Oklaho
ma hoped to pick up the pieces if
the leading candidates should fight
themselves to an exhausted stand
still.
Athenians Are

Russell's Name
Is Placed
In Nomination
By WILBUR JENNINGS
CHICAGO —(AP)— The name
of Sen. Richard Russell of Georgia
was offered to the Democratic na
tional convention today as a pres
idential candidate who believes in
equal opportunity for all.
Sen. Walter George, Russell’s
Senate colleague from Georgia, in
a prepared nominating speech, de
scribed Russell as an outstanding
public servant.
Russell, he said, subscribes “to
the wisdom of our fathers that the
'military should always be under
the direction of eivil authority . . .
A military man in a civilian of
fice tends to lead to dictatorship.”
George did not sfiecifically name
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, the
Republican nominee.
Alabama Yields
Alabama yielded to Georgla for
the purpose of letting Russell’s
nomination be the first to go be
fore the convention.
Senator George gave this de
cription of Russell:
“A man . . . who believes in
equal opportunity for all, equal
educational opportunity, equal
economic opportunity, equal poli
tical opportunity, a man who is
temperamentally fit, a man who
is physically fit, a man who is
‘mentally fit for the presidency of
the United States, a man who be-
Jeves in the common brotherhood
of man and the common father
hood of God . . .” :
George said Russell believes in
a strong national defense, but in a
government run by eivilians, not
military men. e
“In the 30 years which have
gone by since he (Russell) reached
manhood he has not failed Ameri
ca,” Senator George said. “He
shall not fail America in the years
which lie ahead.”
“My fellow Americans,” George
continued, “My ecolleague is an
honorable man. Throughout the
more than 80 years of his public
service there has never been a
finger ‘of suspicion pointed at him.
There has never been the whisper
of gossip, much less scandal, con=-
necting his name.
Enviable Record
“No man nor woman among the
hundreds of his appointees to pub=
‘lic office has ever been so much
as investigated; and no one recom
.mended by him for appointment
‘hag failed to measure up com
pletely to the standards laid down.
It is an enviable record. Whatever
record leaps to light he never will
} be shamed.
“In all of hig service in the Sen
‘ate my colleague has devoted his
full time and his full energy to
help all of the people of our.na
tion . . . He has been a senator of
all of the United States. He will
be president of all of the United
States.”
George traced Russell's back
ground beginning from his birth
54 years ago in Winder, Ga. He
recounted Russell’s record as the
“depression governor” of Georgia,
'when he cut the state govern
' ment’s 100 boards and bureaus to
17, reduced the state expenses,
balanced the budget and even cut

Predicts Wi
With 10th Ballof
By WILBUR JENNINGS
CHICAGO July 24 —(AP) —
Sen. Richard Russell's campaign
manager said today that Russell
will win the Democratie presi
dential nomination on. the 10th
ballot.
But elsewhere, there was general
belief that the Southern fight on
the convention floor duringßthe
lagt several days had “cooked Rus
sell's gooss® - -
The latest Associated Press ta
bulation of known first-ballot
choices Tives Russell 165% votes.
Russell was being prominently
mentioned for the vice presidential
spot. But for every l;:rtécllction
along this line, Russell had a de
nial.
Too Young
He said he doesn't want to be
vice president; he said he was
“too young.” he is 84, Vice Presi
dent Alben Barkley is 74.
Russell’s name will be the first
to be put in nomination for Presi
dent today. Johnson said the nomi
nating speech will be made by Sen.
Walter George of Georgia, Rus
sell’s colleague.
Barkley had been asked by
friends of Russell to make the
speech but no work had been re
ceived from him and it been be
lieved that he had decided’ to re
main neutral in this respect.
The seconding speeches will be
made by Sen. McCarran of Neva
da, Mrs, Margaret Peyton Thomp
son, national committeewoman of
Boulder, Colo., and John Rice of
Salt Lake City, Utah.
Mrs. Thompson seconded the
nomination of President Truman
in 1948.
Alabama will give way to Geor
gia for the purpose of nominating
Russell, Johnson said.
Refused Bolt
The Georgia senator received
263 votes as the South’s favorite
son in 1948. Afterwards, he sup
ported the Democratic ticket, re
fusing to go along with the South
ern split which set up the States
Rights party. 4
Russell watched last night’s con
vention proceedings by television.
He was jolted only once.
That was when David Charnay,
an adviser on his public relations
staff, visited Gov. Aldai Steven
son, the object of a booming draft
movement,
Charnay is head of Allied Public
Relations, Inc.,, of New York and
Washington. He and Welly K.
Hopkins, attorney for John L.
Lewis’ United Mine Workers, spent
about an hour with Stevenson.
When they emerged, Hopkins
told newsmen that he had called
to “pay my respects.” He did not
elaborate.
The visit aroused speculation
Charnay may *have been sent by
Russell to discuss the vice presi
dency in case Stevenson gets the
nod, but the Georgia senator is
sued a statement saying:
“I had no knowledge of the in
tention of Mr. Charnay to visit
Gov. Stevenson and I am not ac~
%t;’ainted with Mr. Hopkins. Mr.
arnay is not authorized to speak
for me politically or in any other
capacity. I assame that ,G&v
