Stevenson And Russell Likely |KW Delegates [Truman Working Favorites At The Present Time|To Attend New Changes Mark Complete Reversal Of Previous Stand By JACK BELL CONVENTION HALL, Chicago @—Party veterans regained con- trol of the Democratic convention today and pointed their strategy toward a Stevenson - Southerner ticket for the November election. If the party’s “pros” have their way, that ticket might read: Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson of Illi- nois for President; Sen. Richard B. Russell of Georgia for vice pres- ident. But if Russell proves more re- Juctant to become a second-place runner than Stevenson was to top the ticket, either Sen. John Spark- man of Alabama or Sen. William Fulbright of Arkansas might be substituted for him. ‘This potential lineup emphasized a complete -reversal of the trend | which saw rampaging Northern ts who like to style them- selves as “liberals” take conven tion control temporarily and try to shove down Dixie throats 4 party “loyalty” rule. ‘The Northerners were thrown for a loss Tuesday night in a compro mise—reportedly effected through White House influence — under Dixie delegations unwilling to sign the loyalty oath could walk around it and still partici- | E the convention’s Cre- mittee voted 36 to 13 @ Texas delegation and 33 17 to seat a Mississippi group which carried anti-Truman bels into the convention.

The upshot of all the backstage maneuvering ed to indicate that hard-heat perty wheel- horses like J M. Aryey of IMlinois and David L. Lawrence of ‘Pennsylvania had won a gigantic game of bluff. This game, ed through the traditional smoke-filled hotel rooms and the crudely partitioned offices of this Convention Hall, inyolved an effort by a Northern coalition of the party's bright and mostly young men to force through an all-out Fair Deal candidate and jatform. .

In its present temper, the con vention seemed unlikely to be swayed very far by a presidential nod to any of the other candidates. This might be indicative of what is in store for future Presidents under similar circumstances, since they will be limited to two terms hereafter. 3 Evidence built up that Mr. ‘Tru- man had decided to favor Vice President Barkley, who withdrew from the race dramatically after \Jabor leaders told him he was too ‘old at 74 to make the race. Barkley, who lashed out at these same leaders, gets a chance to tell the Lconvention tonight how it ought to set about winning the November election. : President John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers blasted his fellow labor leaders for forcing ‘Barkley out of the race, accusing them of engaging in “small time political intrigue.” Stevenson was regarded as near- er the presidential nomination than ever before, if only for the reason that it had been indicated Mr. Truman’s influence would not be seale-tipping. Mr. Truman originally favored Stevenson but the Illinois governor was reported cool toward any ad- ministration endorsement. Stevenson, widely advertised as \repeated protests that he js run- ning only for re-election in Mlinois, picked up significant strength. Illinois racked up 46 of its 60 votes for him, with 11 votes un- | recorded because the holders were missing from a caucus “ sey delegates promised him 23% votes.

Wherever there was a smoke- filled room, a Truman man was said to be in the thick of the smoke. “Mr. Truman has said repeatedly that he proposed to have his choice made known by his alternate when the latter casts his vote on the first ballot. Hennings said Mr. Truman’s first: choice, given to Gavin in a Igfer, is no longer the man he now plans to endorse.

Normally they are found in salt lakes,. salt evaporating Ponds, and other places where the water is so salty that no other ani- mals can live in it. The eggs of brine shrimp float to the surface where they may be skimmed off and dried, and if kept perfectly dry, will remain viable for several years. These eggs may be hatched in any quantity within 24 hours simply by putting them in sea wat- er or water to which a small quan- tity of salt has been added. The newly-hatched larval brine shrimp make excellent food for small fish- es, either freshwater or marine. Q. Of what use are a catfish’s “whiskers” to the fish? A. These sensitive structures, known as barbels, enable the fish to locate its food. Not only the barbels, but the skin of the catfish is highly sensitive to touch and taste. If a particle of food be placed near a catfish in a tank, the fish will swim rapidly, looping in and out in a series of figure-8’s, until either a barbel or part of the fish’s body comes in contact with the morsel. When this occurs, the food is seized and swallowed. Q. What is the “bonnet” Tight whale? A. This is an irregular horny ex-{ creascence found on the tip of the upper jaw in right whales. Bonnets vary somewhat, being irregular in shape and about 11 inches long and 8 inches wide. The structures are commonly infested with bar- maclees and parasitic worms.

Q. In what fish does the male exist as a parasite on the body of the female? A. In the deep sea anglerfish Endriolychnus, the male attaches itself to the skin of the female by means of its mouth. In time this tiny male becomes permanently at- tached to the chin, stomach, or forehead of the female by means‘ of the female, receiving nourish- ment through her bloodstream.
