that Stevenson's call for an for the second spot closed him out The Tennessean said he was suddenly weary after all' the work he had done swinging delegates to Stevenson Kefauver sorrowfully said that some of those around Stevenson must have made some pact to freeze him out Sen Hubert Humphrey who appeared to be the strongest that night or for Mayor Robert Wagner or Sen John Kennedy Alex Rose asked

where trucks trailers and even taxicabs paid me homage came true I rode in the forward transporter of one of the twenty four atomic cannons belonging to the 42nd ield Artillery Group as it moved along the Autobahn and through the streets of this ancient German city It was far and away the most satisfying ride 1 have ever had Not only did we draw ego inflat ing gapes and gasps from the citizens as we rode by we com manded slavish respect from everything else that was on the road No one cut in in front of us no one honked at us from behind and no one challenged our share of the road On one occasion we arrived at an intersection at the same time a fifty two ton 48 tank did The tank came to a respectful and quick stop and if it had had a hat am sure it would have tipped it As well it might for if we had come to blows so to speak our 85 tons of steel would have been a cinch to have won by a knockout And if the tank had gotten sassy and elected to slug it out with firepower well it would have changed its mind when we swung our 42 foot barrel in its direction and slipped a six hun dred pound projectile with an atomic warhead in the breech Hard as it is to believe my ride the massive atomic can non was almost as comfortable as a ride in a passenger car The two tremendous transporters one forward and one rear handle as easily as a sedan Easier than most in fact what with

asking voters to choose between two teams of na tional managers rather than be tween conflicting political parties The two judged by the promises in their campaign plat forms and not by the corny and heated over oratory of their con vention speakers think pretty much alike No Basic Difference What each seems to be saying is "We're nicer than they arc and we can de everything better" There is no basic difference in the promises made Both pledged to retain progress and pro grams of the New and air Deals as extended by the Eisenhower ad ministration Both offered some improvements Neither proposed radicu changes If this seems a strange compla cency in political parties seeking authority to run the country the explanation is simple enough: the nation itself is pretty complacent BELCH AM
