Though there were numerous "nays" when Permanent Chair- man Sam Rayburn asked for the vote, he ruled that "In the opin- ion of the chair the ayes have it." The convention will resume at 11 a.m. today with what might be a sharp fight over the platform. CONVENTION HALL, Chicago-(JP)-Alben W. Barkley, doughty Democratic patriarch, summoned the schism-threatened party legions last night to unite in a renewed "crusade" for victory over the GOP. And for the moment, the Democratic National Convention closed ranks in a tremendous thiobbing ovation for the 74-year-old Vice President who hid the hurt in his heart over being forced from the Presidential nominating race. GOV. ADLAI STEVENSON of Illinois was out ahead in that race, still saying he wasn't running. President Truman was, for the moment, keeping hands off. Here in thin tremendous Convention amphitheater, Dixie dele- gates who had seemed ready to bolt in a rage over a loyalty oath, grabbed up state banners and paraded with all the rest in a long, roaring demonstration for Barkley. For a while it had appeared that South Carolina, at least, and probably Virginia and Louisiana would take a walk. They talked of it openly. BUT THEN SAM RAYBURN of Texas, taking over as permanent chairman of the Convention, dropped a hint that so far as he was concerned the loyalty pledge would not be forced upon them. "It is my thought," Rayburn said, "that every delegate seated here has a right to be here and each and every one of them shall have decent and courteous treatment." And a high ranking member of Congress with a position of in- fluence in the Convention said he believed that meant Rayburn would rule the three states were entitled to vote on all matters coming before the Democratic conclave. AT DOWNTOWN Convention headquarters in the Conrad Hilton Hotel, platform makers wound up their 'round-the-clock labors and approved a 1952 declaration of party policies and principles with a civil rights plank they hope will have both Northern and Southern support. The drafting crew brought the 6,000-word document before the Convention for approval early this morning. Northern leaders and some from the South were saying that a kind of amity had been reached on the civil rights plank-that there would be no floor fight but there were rumblings of "red hot protests" to come from Ala- bama and perhaps some other Southern states. Last night in Convention Hall, the show was all Barkley's. EARLIER LAST NIGHT the word sped through the big hall that President Truman apparently changing signals, had decided for the moment at least, to keep hands off the contest for a Presidential nominee. In that contest it still looked like Gov. Adlai Stevenson against the field. Reports from the Michigan delegation yesterday indicated that the group and its chairman, Gov. G. Mennen Williams, were ready to walk in opposite directions. Williams told a morning press conference the Michigan delega- tion would vote to seat the Shivers, or anti-administration delegation from Texas. The Michigan delegation, in the absence of Williams, WASHINGTON-P)-President Truman yesterday called the top union and industry leaders in the nation-wide steel dispute to a White House conference today in a personal effort to end the crip- pling 52-day old strike.

Soft Coal Contract ... PITTSBURGH-A spokesman for Western Pennsylvania coal op- erators said yesterday he has been informed that John L. Lewis, pres- ident of the United Mine Workers, has served notice the UMW is ter- minating its soft coal agreement in 60 days. Earthquake Deport ... TEHACHAPI, Calif.-Unofficial estimates of Monday's earthquake damage ranged up to 100 million dollars yesterday as one more name went on the death list and aftershocks continued to rock Southern California. * * Michigan Storms .. . Michigan property owners sur- veyed damage yesterday from a new series of freakish summer storms that led to five deaths. Lashing winds, reported to have reached a velocity of 90 miles an hour, damaged homes and crops, particularly in. Southwestern Michigan. Large areas of the Upper Pen- insula also weie hard hit.

Steel to meet with him early this morning. *' * * i IN ANNOUNCING the Presi- dent's dramatic new bid to bring peace to the strike-paralyzed steel industry, Presidential Secretary Joseph Short told newsmen that possible use of the 1948 Selective Service (draft) Act was being "re- studied." The act permits seizure of de- fense plants under certain emer- gency conditions. It was reported last week that seizure of a small portion of the industry under the Draft Act was Iran Angry At America TEHRAN, Iran - P) - Anti- American feeling 'rose yesterday in many parts of Tehran with the easing of a domestic crisis that saw rightist Ahmed Qavam ousted from the Premiership and nation- alist Mohammed Mossadegh re- turned to power with increased prestige. A belief developed among Iran- ians that the United States had supported Qavam, advocate of a British - Iranian oil settlement, against Mossadegh, the guiding spirit of Iran's oil nationalization program. Qavam himself was var- iously reported under arrest or a fugitive. receiving "serious consideration" at the White House. It would ap- ply chiefly to plants producing special steel for guns, ammuni- tion, tanks, etc. * * * TRUMAN'S DECISION to take personal charge of the long-stale-I mated negotiations came amidI these related developments: 1. Secretary of Defense Lovett compared the impact of the steel strike on the nation's defense production program to a devast- ating attack by enemy bombers. He warned that it may soon have serious effects on the rate of U. S. fire power in Korea. 2. Unemployment directly stem- ming from the steel strike edged close to the two-million mark. Total loss to the national econ- omy was estimated at four billion dollars. Both sides in the great steel con- troversy have virtually agreed on all major points in dispute except the question of compulsory union membership-the union shop. The CIO Steel Workers Union served notice Monday that it would insist on its demand for a union shop. In addition, the steel compan- ies are seeking to persuade the government that they need sub- stantial price boosts for their steel to cover any wage boosts granted to the steel workers. Meanwhile, the threat of a new major labor dispute arose - this time in the coal industry. OUTNUMBERED: IDelegoate Is Ignored Man At Convention By JACK BERGSTROM Special.To The Daily CHICAGO-In the noise and confusion of this Democratic Con- vention there is one person who has been completely overlooked- he is the little guy walking around with a badge on his lapel that says "delegate." Joe Delegate has been complete- ly submerged in the avalanche of candidates, campaign managers, public relations men, newspaper and radio men, hucksters, demon- strators, and spectators. S* * THE AVERAGE delegate has be- come no more than a statistic which is manipulated by the pupi- teers in the smoke-filled rooms who decide which way he shall swing and at what time. It is impossible to see any evi- dence of delegate activity or in- fluence. All the activity is in the press offices of the candidates, and in the news rooms of the newspapers and press services. Perhaps the delegate's difficul- ty in making himself heard lies in the fact that he is badly out- numbered. There are 1230 dele- gates to this convention and ap- proximately 3,000 newspapermen to report it. The booster corps of the near dozen candidates numbers into the hundreds. Add to this several thousand more pepsi-givers, or- chid-pinners, button-passers, or- der-keepers, pass-checkers, er- rand-runners and you can't find a delegate without a microscope. The average delegate knows much less about what is going on at the convention than the aver- age TV viewer..There is too much happening in too many places for him to be conscious of more than a small part of it. After all, all a delegate has to do is vote.

He had been admitted to the hospital here July 8 after spend- ing some time in Lansing hos- pitals for treatment of arthritis. Justice North spent 46 of his 52 years as a member of the bar in service on the bench. He was Calhoun County Circuit Judge for nearly 22 years and a Justice of the Supreme Court for almost 25years-all without a break. Thus he had the longest tenure of any Michigan judge. As Chief Justice three times un- der the rotating system, Justice North ran the court firmly and impersonally, each time stepping aside again to be an Associate Jus- tice. He was known for his point- ed questioning of attorneys and his devotion to the fundamentals of the law.

It comprises about 3,000 islands, some of the biggest being densely populated-Java, Sumatra, Western Borneo, Western New Guinea and Bali. IT IS ONE of the wealthiest countries in natural resources, hav- ing vast supplies of tin, oil, coal, bauxite, manganese, copper, nickel, gold, silver, tobacco, coffee, rubber, tea, sugar-you name it. It was proclaimed independent from Dutch rule on August 7, 1945 following the Japanese occupation, and the helm was taken over by a man named Achmed Soekarno. In 1949 after -four years of warfare between Dutch and Indonesian troops it was formally severed from the Netherlands. That, in a nutshell, is the background of the bitterest pill the Dutch have swallowed since they lost their own freedom during the AMERICAN LEAGUE Washington 5, Detroit 2 Boston 10, Chicago 4 Cleveland 7, New York 3 Philadelphia 3, St. Louis 2 NATIONAL LEAGUE Cincinnati 6, Brooklyn 4 Philadelphia 4, Pittsburgh 1 Chicago 6, Boston 2 COWLEY COMMENTS: Criti Ce.) e NLa guib Seizes Egypt'sArmy, CAIRO, Egypt-(RP)--A thrice- wounded Egyptian war hero, avow- ed foe of corruption in the gov- ernment and armed forces, seized control of the Army in a light- ning coup yesterday and forced a man of his choice into the Pre- miership.
