Crowds shouting, flags flying, campaign parades marching and i bands resounding make up the political atmosphere of the Convention Headquarters at the j Biltmore Hotel.
At the campaign headquarters i for each candidate are lovely ladies distributing buttons, hats ’ and rccords such as the one i taken from the Academy Award I winning song “High Hopes” which now is called “High Hopes for Kennedy/'
There are also free soft drinks for those dry from shouting. “We want Kennedy. Johnson, j Symington, or Stevenson."
At night when the convention is at the Sports Arena the ac-! tivity is noticeably cooler and i the crowds file into their favorite candidate’s headquarters to watch the convention on television.
In the afternoon, one is likely | to find himself in an elevator | with a senator, a governor, or | even a candidate in addition to ‘ relatives and friends of political giants from every state in the I union.
Many Biltmore visitors attended a panel discussion on the issues of the sixties which featured Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, Prof. Arthur Schlessinger Jr.. and Representatives John Bra-demas and Henry Reuss.
The Johnson-Kennedy debate, though the nation watched it through the eyes of television, was an exciting experience when seen in person.
The expressions and reactions of leaders like Senator Kennedy and Majority Leader Johnson can only be captured by the selective eye of the direct observer.
Though many movie stars can be spotted throughout the wide scope of convention activities, they are outdone by the great drama that will decide the Democratic candidate for the nation's top office — if not the world’s.

Khrushchev may very well j build his empire on the ruins of j western civilization unless we keep faith with our democratic ideals and the basic principles of ¡ Christianity, a noted historian ! told an SC summer session lecture audience yesterday afternoon.
The free world must stop losing its faith in democratic institutions if it is to win out over Communism, said Dr. Dwight L. Dumond, professor of history at the University of Michigan who
| is teaching at SC this summer, i “I feel the decline of western civilization began when America rejected Woodrow Wilson and his ideals,” Dr Dumond said.
In honor of the Democratic National Converttion being held in the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena near the SC campus, Dr. Dumond’s lecture was on “Woodrow Wilson: A Century View.”
“What is so distressing today is the lack of leadership in the United States and the free world,” said the historian who is also the author of “Roosevelt to Roosevelt.”
“Personal accountability or responsibility is inherent in intel- J ligent citizenship and is vital to any democracy,” he added, j “That aspect of our national -life has been too sublimated in the past few years.”
Dr. Dumond called Wilson a remarkable prophet.
“The World War I president’s ; 1918 statement that there can j be no lasting peace until a world organization of responsible gov- ; ernment is able to eliminate or neutralize arbitrary powers and maintain disarmament is as ! timely today as it was 42 years ago,” Dr Dumond said.
Wilson was the only teacher I
ever to become president. Dr. Dumond reminded his audience.
“He remained a teacher to the end,” he said.
“He never had a personal following. His disciples deserted him in his hour of distress.’’ he added. "He was never a strong man physically.”
“Yet he is one of two men — the other being Thomas Jefferson — whose minds constitute the American links in the chain of man’s intellectual progression,” Dr. Dumond concluded. I
