Violence in Chicago Shocks Britain
By Karl E. Meyer Wartansion ?art ?arra= 5erwrce
LONDON. Aug. 29— Though the British have come to expect violence in the United States, they were nevertheless shocked today by the police behavior in Chicago that has disfigured Hubert Humphrey's nomina-tion.
The Vice President's vic-tory had been expected_ But Britons were not prepared for scenes that impelled eor-respondetts to compare Shi-cago with Prague as a bru-tally occupied city.
"Blood flows in Chicago as Humphrey wins," ran the headline in the Evening Standard, roughly reflecting the priority ief coverate. The Standard's reporter, 3Iax Hastins, lere=n his story:
"After the events trf the last 12 'hours in Chicago. it will never a'Prill be poseible to think of either the city or Maser Richard Daley with-out getting slightly sick."
Seldom has an .ternerican calamity received such ex-tensive British coverage, la part because all media were filled with fleet-hand ac-counts by British reporters, a number of whom were beaten, gassed and injured_
Among them was Winston Churchill, grandson of the Prime Minister, dila last
night was standing five blocks from the Hilton Hotel along with Mrs. John F. Kennedy's half-brother, James Auchinelees.
Writing in the Evening News. under the headline "Police Horror in Chicago." young Churchill related:
-A young blonde girl ran past to get away from the demonstrators who were being attacked ... Suddenly. from the far side of the road, a plainclothes detec-tive with no identification tag, or badge of authority dashed across pulling a blackjack — a short cosh — from his hip pocket. "Hee intercepted the girl
and beat her with the club. Mr. Auchincloss went to help her. as did E, We asked the man what his name was. to be attacked by hint also.
Auchineloss was hit a couple of times and I was knocked to the ' ground," They were then pinioned to a wall by a police motor-cycle-
Witnessing the fracas was another British journalist, Stephen Barber of the Sun-day Telegraph. who was cracked on the head and wrist by a palire club. BBC. which is reporting the con-vention via satellite, in-formed listeners that two of its staff had also been roughed up.
The impression here, fair or not, is (as James Cam-eron wrote to the Evening Standard) that Mayor Daley "is a man of singular intel-lectual brutality and igno-ra rice."
Nevertheless, those sym-pathetic with the United States are 'trying to put Humphrey's victory lit the most favorable possible light by recalling the Vice President's past as a reform-ing legislator. This said, the prevailing mood is one of gloom about both major party candidates in a coun-try that has prided itself on its special relationship with the United States.
AP dispatches reported these other reactions abroad:
West German Foreign Minister Willy Brandt's So-cial Democratic Parry de-scribed Humphrey in a statement as .a mar, "who knows the needs of the great American nation and what It needs to maintain its leading role in the world."
The Melbourne Herald's Chicago, correspondent said the police "bashing" of dem-onstrators was reminiscent of South Africa's Moo Sharpiville massacre and Nazi Germany's gestapo bru-tality.
The Soviet government newspaper levestia reported "bloody skirmishes... brutal outrages against demonstra-
tors who declared their op-position to the Vietnam. adventure . The rooms of Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy in the Conrad Hilton Hotel are filled with wounded per-sons."
The Soviet news agency Tees mated that the conven-tion approved a platform pledging vigorous and sustained campaign against violence in alI its forms."
"Many delegates at the convention, newspaper cor-respondents and, of course. peace demonstrators, feel that this section of the Pax-ty's election program is !ems than meaningless in view of what is happening on Chica-go's streets," the dispatch said.
Radio Hanoi said the U.S. Government "was forced to use tens of thousands of Army troops and security forces to protect the U.S. Democrat Party Convention front the American people who resolutely oppose the unjust a g g re ssive war against the Vietnamese peo-ple."
It did not mention Hum. phrey's nomination.
Red C111124.3 official New China News Agency said "Fascist police and troops in full battle gear" clashed with "the American people" who defied beatings and ar-rests to protest against the war in Vietnam.

Hangover in Chicago Democrats Awake to a Party in Ruins
By David S. Tiroder wsausarailesia man wilier
CHICAGO, Aug. 29—The Democratic Party woke up today with the worst haag-over In a century.
It was not the usual nom-ination night celebration that left the delegates and party leaders holding their heads this morning. Alcohol was infused in large quanti-ties after Wednesday night's session at the international
News Analysis
Amphitheatre, but spirits did not rise at a rate pro-portional to their consump-tion.
This was the kind of drinking a man does to steady his nerves after a thoroughly unsettling ex-perience. The anger and bit-terness in the convention hall and the violence on the
streets had "shaken the Democrats' eye teeth," as George Wallace would say, and left presidential nomi-nee Hubert H. Humphrey looking very much like the general of a defeated and mutinous army.
The whole question of this Democratic convention has not been whether Humphrey would win the nomination but whether be would take
• over a party or a ruin. The answer is that the wreckage is more complete than even the pessimists had predicted when the delegates arrived In Chicago Last weekend.
The Democrats' reputa-tion — and Humphrey's — is indelibly tarnished for mil-lions of television viewers who saw Humphrey's nomin-ation as a piece of the ugly mosaic of police dubbing y oung demonstrators, of brawling and boning gal-leries, and of the Party leaders who put Humphrey in office mouthing obsceni-ties at speakers who protest-ed the violence.
Somehow, Humphrey has managed the not inconsider-able feat of disillusioning his supporters on both flanks of the Party. The Southerners —including John Connally's Texans. whose support was seemingly a major objective of the Vice President's con-vention strategy—were ex-pressing open skepticism that Humphrey could best

nistration. anti-war liberals, who were defeated on both the platform and nomination fights. were streaming out of Chicago with the declared intention of concentrating on local campaigns and lett-ing the national ticket fend for itself.
Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy, Humphrey's leading dove ri-val, said, in effect, that he would not support the Vice President this fall Sen. &col-re S. McGovern. the other anti-war candidate, gave Humphrey a lukewarm endorsement, conditioned on his becoming "his own man° on Vietnam policy.
President Johnson — The man Humphrey served with consummate loyalty for four years—decided to stay home in Texas, rather than stand up with Vice President tonight. Scn. Edward I.T. Kennedy. the party's bright-est young star, made the same decision.
In the face of all of this, Humphrey, one of the eter-nal optimists in American public life, began the task of rebuilding his shattered Par-ty.
His first step was to desist nate as his running mate Sen. Edmund S. Muskie of Maine, whose competence, candor and quiet intelli-gence have made him one of the most widely admired men in the party. Popular Choice
Muskie Is probably as pop- ular a choice as Humphrey could have made—at least among the Senators, Gover-nors and Party officials who know him. In a normal year, he might well have served to "bridge many a gap and many a gulf in the Party." as Humphrey said
would d
do. hoped aluskie ul
%t the situation has dete- riorated so badly- in the bru-tal atmosphere of Chicago that it seems doubtful that Muskie's brand of quiet di-plomacy can salvage much far the ticket. He tried to be the honest broker on the Vietnam dispute in the con-vention and failed. Whether he can be more successful in the campaign in bringing to-gether the divided Demo-crats is open to question.
The basic fact that Hum- phrey and Muakie confront is that many and perhaps most of the men who are running for office and man-aging the campaigns in the states and congressional texts are convinced tcdaY that their national ticket is A a loser.

These men have two objectives: to save them-selves from the expected ruin, and to position them-selves for the power strug-gle that would fogow the Democrats' ouster tram of-fice in Washington next November.
Many of them are. cyni-cally or realistically, more interested in controlling the wreckage than in repairing
The best defense they : after for their attitude is
that the Party is overdue for . a blood-letting, that it can-. not govern effectively- again
until it has rid itself of its deadwood. If defeat Is the price of renovation, these Democrats seem willing to pay the price.
Familiar With Trend
limmeihrey is familiar with the trend, for her tried un-successfully just two years ago to combat it. in his own Minnetota Democratic Farm-er-Labor Party.
The rebellion In the DFL that defeated Gee. Karl -Rol-vaag, the bast relic of Hum-phrey's generation of Party leaders, has proved to be a harbinger of national party treads. Young leaders tried to beat Roivaag for norelnra-title charging that he had lost touch with the people and the Party workers, When they failed, they ac-quiesced in his defeat by the Republicans, seeing that as the only way to gain time and room for new leaders to einerge.
Exactly that attitude has been building up In the na-tional Democratic Party dur-- ing these last years of its long reign in power.
Young House Democrats have been chafing at the tat-tering leadership of Speaker John W. McCormack. Rebels in the Illinois organization have criticized the Iron rule-of Chieago 3ilayor Richard J. Daley. Young uniorrists have balked at the political tat-
of AFL-C10 President George Me y.
It is Hurriphrey's misfor-tune at this moment that he is considered the choice and the spokesman of the Mc-Cormacks, the Daleys and the Mee.nys of the Dino.
'matte Party. the Meanys of the Demo-ors, fairly or unfairly, do not accept him as their own. Their impulse to change found only one expression Within the convention -when Gov. Harold E. Hughes of Iowa obtained a kweeping rules reform that will make it far easier in 1972 for those who are now on the outside of Party deci-
sion-making to gain a share of influence.
But outside the conven- tion hall — in that assem-blage of dissidents en-eamepd across the street from the Conrad Hilton Hotel — the demand for re-form was heard loud and
clear. in that "second conven-
tion." held under the gaze of rifle-carrying National Gdardsmen during the pre-dawn hours today, a New York delegate declared: "Four years from now, those people who ran things at the Amphitheatre will be relics
—pieces in a. museum, you understand me."
Richard Goodwin, who movesinall political worlds, came to the -second conven-tion" at 4 am. toreport his view of the statusof the in-
tra-aPrty strtiggle. We didn't make it last
night," Goodwin said, in a feat, "but we came a long way in eight months. And in another two years we will take the Countryaway from
the Connallys, the Meanys and the Daleys."
Perhaps the most moving spectacle of this week—and one with portent for the
Party—was the march of candle-bearing delegates clown Michigan Avenue to the demonstrators' encamp-ment eartyoday.
It was the first real meet-ing of the two conventions, and:a thedarkness, one del-
egate tried to bridge the generation gap with wards that seemed singularly ap-
propriate: "You oung people,' he
said, "who have been called enemies of the Establish-
meat. have established in this park, this little plaza, a citadel of freedom forall of us."

Muskie: Self-Effacing
Moderate Emerges as Power
By George Lardner Jr. wee:en/we Poi Sze: writer
When Edmund S. (for Sixtus) Muskie first arrived in Washington he dis-claimed any presidential am-bition, with crisp New Eng-land pragmatism.
"This is not a very prac-tical dream," the tali, lanky Senator-elect from Maine told newsmen, "even if I were inclined to dream, which I am not"
Now, after 10 years of shr ing away from power and accumulating it anyway, aluskie has been chosen by the ebullient Hubert Hum-phrey to stand a heartbeat away, as the Democratic Party's candidate for Vice President
Outwardly, It might seem a surprising climax for a man who has made a vir-tual career of mixing pol-itics with self-effacement That Muskie should have entered public life at ail must have surprised even his own mother who once recalled that "he wouldn't even play with other chil-dren, he was so bashful." Republican Environment
The unlikely Senator from the unlikely State is used to defying the laws of poli-tical probability. lie grew up in a Republican environ-ment where, even in the high-water mark of the New Deal, Muskie was, by com-mon c o n s e n 1, the only Democrat on the Bates Col-lege campus.
Maine is still predomin-antly Republican. But its voters have also become ac-customed to electing the 54-year-old Muskie to pub-lic office by bigger and big-ger majorities.
First elected to the Sen-ate in 1958, after two terms as Governor, he made his debut in Washington by landing In Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson's doghouse.
Since then, the articulate, moderately liberal Muskle's rise has been that of good soldier and patient climber of the Senate ladder. "Sham and pretense," says an aide, "grate on him like sand-paper." Some Senate liber-als have been known to com-plain that he is not out-spoken enough on the burn-ing issues of the day, but. as Muskie's staff observes, "they always come running to turn when they get them-selves in a wringer."
So. on a variety of issues in more recent years, has President Johnson. A team player, Muskie is in many ways a scriptwriter's run-ning mate for Hubert Hum-phrey, a counterweight by every measure from tem-perament to national origin.
His biggest drawback is his relative national obscurity.
The second of five chLI-dren, Edmund Muskie was born on March 28, 1914, in Rumford, Maine, a mill town where his father, a tailor named Stephen Mareiszew- ski, settled after emigrating from Poland. To make life simpler, the Senator's fath- er changed the family name to Muskie. The devout Cath- olic parents chose the boy's middle name from a long line of famous popes.
The shy youth began to come out of his shell in high school where he joined the debating team and put his six-foot, five-inch frame to work as a high-scoring cen- ter in basketball. He gradu-ated in 1932 in the middle of the Depression and worked his way through Bates as a beilhope at a summer resort and as a college waiter and dormitory proctor.
A Phi Beta Kappa, he went on to Cornell Law School, served in the Navy in World War II. then re-turned to practice law in Waterville, Maine.
There, the young attorney found clients scarce and de- cided to run for the State legislature while waiting for his practice to build up. In 1946, he began the first of three terms in the Maine House where he soon be- came minority leader of a thin band of Democrats_ -
By 1954, after the Eisen-hower landslide. Muskie and a few other World War II • vets found themselves in charge of the state Party by default. Muskie was picked to run for Governor "be-cause they couldn't get any-one else."
He campaigned on the theme, "Maine Needs a Two-Party System," and won defeating incumbent Republican Burton M. Cross and the state GOP, which had left Maine voters with a variety of grievances.
The voters knew they were electing their first Democratic Governor in 20 years, but not a few Yankee Protestants were subse-quently astonished to find they had been casting their ballots for a Polish immi-grant's son and a Catholic to boot.
Muskie stressed economic development in the sagging state, proved himself adept at getting along with the Republican legislature, and doubled his winneg margin for a second two-year term_
In 1958, he ran for the Senate and became the first Democrat to win a seat from Maine since the days of William Howard Taltie Administration. Muskie took
60 per cent of the vote In ousting GOP Sen. Frederick G. Payne who, it turned out, had accepted a vicuna coat and other favors from the ubiquitous Bernard Gold-fine.
His arrival in Washington was an inauspicious one. Paying a courtesy call on Majority Leader Johnson, Muskie took LBJ's advice too much to heart. Counsel-ing Muskie on strategy, Mr. Johnson told him that he personally liked to keep his options open on an issue "until the roll call gets to the J's."
Several weeks later, at. a caucus with all the fresh-men Democrats, Mr. John-son asked for their support in defeating the biennial lib-eral attempt to change the Senate rules and make It easier o cutt off Southern Filibusters. The others as-sented, but Muskie told his leader: "You'll know how I vote when I vote." When he did, he lined up with the lib-erals.
The Impertinence earned 3tuskie assignment to three sluggish committees that could hardly be said to be of his own choosing: Govern-ment Operations, Public Works, and Banking and Currency.
Muskie, who had his heart set on the Foreign Relations Committee. was desolate, but be set to work accumu-lating seniority and exper-tise on such esoteric and widely ignored subjects as air and water pollution. and intergovernmental relations. On these he built his reputa-tion and on these commit-tees he remains, having re-peatedly passed up oppor-tunities for a "promotion" to Foreign Relations.
The thaw with Mr. John-son came early in the LBJ Administration as one after another of Muskie's pet sub-jects became Great Society projects. But often, Muskie, a firm federalist who has not forgotten that Maine is basically Republican, would insist on stronger regional state and local prerogatives than the Administration would propose.
Muskie's finest legislative performance came in win-ning Senate passage In 1966 of the model cities bill. Few gave it a chance. When the President asked him to be its floor manager, Muskie said he doubted he could even vote for it.
But the Senator relented after modifying it to cover smaller cities and won the day with eloquent floor de-bate that even caused a few Republican colleagues to change dies minds, a rare occurrence.
lie is a Senator's Sena-tor," says Majority Leader Mansfield. "One of the few men I have seen who could literally pull a bill through the Senate with his argu- ments." Ile is also, a former White House aide has added. "one of the few liber-als who's a match for the Southern legislative crafts-men."
While some liberals fault him for not being more out-spoken, it is not Muskie's style. On Vietnam, he has been until recently a con-sistent though somewhat lukewarm supporter of the Administration's policy on Vietnam. His staff calls him "an owl."
A few days ago, Muskie said he would have stopped all the bombing in North Vietnam earlier this sum-mer as a test of Ho Chi Minh's stacerity, but what reservations he has had on the war, he has largely ex-pressed privately. While he wished that the Demo-cratic platform plank on Vietnam could have repre-sented a compromise with the doves, he wound up speaking for Humphrey in Chicago and supporting the Administration version that the doves so bitterly op-posed.
Some have also criticized Muskie for being too hesi-tant shout seeking more power as a liberal mover and shaker In the Senate. He passed up an opportu-nity in 1963 when the Senate needed a new Majority Whip and then again last year when the No. 3 leader-ship job, secretary of the Senate Democratic caucus, opened up.
Muskie held back, defer-ring to ether Senate liberals who had more seniority but Tees: of a chance and who proved it by losing.
In Maine, Muskie is fond of sayine, "they don't even think of me as a Democrat" lie can deliver a stermvinder when he has to. but by and large, he avoids partisan ship, a politic habit for a liberal from Maine. Muskie has, however, recently begun to assert himself as chair-man of the Senate Demo-cratic Campaign Committee. Few have been as active in the job.
Although Muskie was briefly considered by Presi-dent Johnson as a running mate in 1964, be never took the prospect seriously. Only in the past few days did he begin to think that he might really be Humphrey's choice. He approached it In charac-teristic fashion, telling friends that Like a girl being courted, "you don't say yes until you're asked."

He told the press confer-ence that he had informed President Johnson of his choice about an hour before the news conference as a matter of courtesy. He said the President has "leng known my admiration" for aluskie, who is one of the most respected men n the Senate.
Humphrey was asked at the news conference about deep divisions in the Demo-cratic Party and the wounds that were opened at this convention.
Humphrey replied that "healing these wounds will take some time." And he added "I am willing to ex-tend a hand .13f cooperation, willing to walk the extra mile and ceriault with lead-ers of my party an planning for the future.'
He 'said he hoped that the • selection of aluskte would "bridge many a gap and many a gull here in the party."

CHICAGO, Aug. 29 — Sea_ Edmund S. MusIde of Maine won the Democratic nomination for Vice Presi-dent tonight after an unexpected floor battle that emphasized anew the deep split within the party.
!tluskie's nomination normally would he considered a routine action since he was the choice announced by Vice President Humphrey, the party's pesideatial nominee.
But when the state of Wisconsin was reached during the call of the states, Ted Warshofsky of Milwaukee arose to place another name in nomination.
He said he realized he was making what may be considered a "s ym bolic nomination" and put forth the name of Julian Bond, the Negro state legislator from Georgia.
This touched elf a wild demonstration from the dele-gates who had supported Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy and Sen. George McGovern in the light against Humphrey.
Bond asked that his name be withdrawn because he is only 28 years old, and there-fore is ineligible to serve as Vice President. The Consti-tution requires that the Pres-ident and Vice President be 35 years old.
Humphrey said that in choosing the 54-y e a r-o I d Muskie for Vice President he believed he had "given to the Nation and the party the best we have."
Humphrey said he had spent hours on the telephone today conferring with polit-ical, business, church, civil rights and other leaders across the country and drew favorable comments on the Maine Senator.
He said that among those he talked to was Sen. Ed-ward AL Kennedy of Massa-chusetts, who was very high on Muskie.
Humphrey said he had reached a final decision on Muskie early this afternoon. but delayed his announce-ment until after he could
have a long; talk with Mus-kie about the problems of the vice presidency and what he expected of his run-ning mate.
But It was obvious that Humphrey has had Muskie high on his list of possible

Humphrey Seeks to Close 'Gulf'
By Robert IL Andrews CHICAGO, Aug. 29 (UPI)
—Hubert H_. Humphrey, in announcing that Sen. Ed-mund S. Muskie of Maine was his choice as a vice presidential running mate, expressed the hope today to 'bridge many a gap and many a gulf" with McCarthy dissidents before the elec-tion battle.
Humphrey's announce- ment, made only 2,-Z hours before the final Convention session, was coupled with an open plea to Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy to close ranks and work for a Democratic vic-tory in November.
"We are not so far apart as some would have us be-lieve," Humphrey said of ttis defeated rival at a news con-ference In the Grand Ball-room of the Conrad Hilton HoteL "Our views are not really very far apart."
"We both want an end to this sin-angle," he added. "1 believe well work together. If the opposition is depend-ing on the two men from Minnesota to work in oppo-site directions, the opposi-tion is miscalculating."
But McCarthy flatly re-fused to support Humphrey, pledging instead to work for lesser candidates who mir-ror his views. "I'm going to keep the commitment that I made," McCarthy told a collection of antiwar protes-tors in a downtown park See HUMPHREY, A6, Col.

But Humphrey did claim the hacking of McGovern. the defeated rallying candi-date for Kennedy followers. He said they will be "work-ing with us very closely."
McGovern, in a lukewarm endarsnent, said Hum-phrey must become "his own man" on the Vietnam war. McGovern coupled his support for Humphrey with a scathing denunciation of Chicago police treatment of young protesters.
He told a news conference he will support Humphrey but will not still his own criticism of American in-volvement in the Vietnam war.
He was asked how long Humphrey should wait be-fore becoming "his own man" in regard to Vietnam

"I've about concluded that we ought to scrap this whole convention system." he said.
-There must be new hope held out .for the people who feel they have no part in the political life of this nation.
McGovern watched the downtown disorders from his fourth-floor hotel suite as the convention nominated Humphrey Wednesday night.
Humphrey today also ex-
pressed "deep concern about the developing pattern of violence in American life." He voiced strong diSap- proval of "storm-trooper tac-tics" whether on the part of demonstrators or police. Regrets Security
At the same time, in a tel-evision interview (Today Show—NBC), he expressed regret that tight security precautions, such as were taken during the Conven-tion, were necessary. He said. -I don't like" being under constant, heavy guard but saw no alternative.
Humphrey then said. "'Mrs. Humphrey and I lia‘e been threatened with a_ssas-

The Chicago Trileurie of-fered a lengthy editorial ex-planation of why stringent security was necessary, cit-ing the possibility that dem-onstrators "might arouse violence by Black Power groups." But, the Tribune said, "The city regrets that it was necessary to mobile the National Guard, Federal troops and many Federal agents to keep order during the Democratic Cone e lion."
