Stevenson surged through California's northern coastal val leys Wednesday with new found confidence that he is riding a ris ing tide in his drive for the Demo cratic presidential nomination. Stevenson built up fresh cam paign zest on the strength of what he called "a great victory" over Sen. Estei Kefauver of Tennessee in yesterday's Florida Democratic primary. In a narrow margin finish there. Stevenson won 22 of Florida's 28 convention votes. He seemed to have put Kefauver on the ropes in their dramatic battle for top place in contention for the party nomi nation. Expects Rally If Kefauver was down. Stevenson made (t clear he expects his rival to stage a desperate, no-blows-barred rally for California's criti cal 88 nominating votes in next Tueday's winner-take-all primary. Stevenson, who previously has complained about what he called Kefauver's "personal attacks" on him In Florida, revived that issue In his swing through the Napa and Sonoma valleys today. Stevenson told a Memorial Day crowd of about 600 veterans and townspeople at the State Veterans Hospital In Yountville that by con trast he had tried to "talk sense" to the voters. "I tried to avoid personalities and abuse," he- said. "And in the light of what happened in Florida I think that is the kind of cam paign for the presidency that the people want." Adlal'i Answer This seemed to provide Steven son's own answer to those in his camp who have been imploring him to sail into Kefauver and the Tennessee senator's record In the wmdup of a campaign in whlcH the decision may be influenced by the candidates' stand on civil rights and old age pension issues. Dropping the door-to-door hand shaking role he had assayed in an effort to offset Kefauver's famed vote - to me tactics, Stevenson swung back into the type of motor cade campaigning he employed in his unsuccessful race with Presi dent Eisenhower in lta2. fenses" go on, he said, despite the Soviet peace offensive and pledges by East German leaders te safe guard the rights of citiiens. Only Mil Freed In the last two years, however, 13.428 political prisoners have been released although only 1,145 won their freedom this year, he added. Kaiser, whose ministry for all German affairs deals exclusively with East German conditions, un folded these statistics to members of the Bundestag: 70.000 East German political pri soners dead in Soviet-style concen tration camps or jails since IMS. Of these, 1.000 were youths under 18. Names Known 47,500 arrested during this period have disappeared. Their names are known to West German authorities. Total sentences of 265 years handed out to 85 East Germans since July. 1955. Kaiser, himself a refugee from East Germany, spoke at the start of a special all day debate on con ditions In the Soviet part of Ger many. The debate was sponsored by all political parties as 'Vest Ger many's answer to the "new course" proclaimed by East Ger man Reds at their March party congress. "Safeguard Rights" There party leaders assailed "unjustified arrests" and ordered the justice ministry to "safeguard the rights of citizens." In an 80-minute recital of 10 years of Communist rule for the 18 million East Germans, Kaiser warned against accepting Commu nist promises of real reforms there. Congress recognize the need for highway modernization and are agreed generally on how to go about it and how ta pay for R. A compromise must be worked out, however, on how te divide among the participating states the 25 biUion dollars in federal funds authorized for the interstate sys tem. Fennels Deflaed The Senate proposes to follow the present law and distribute the money under a formula giving two thirds weight to the population of a state, one-sixth to its area and one-sixth to Ka rural road mileage. Under, the house plan the money would be allotted according to the needs of the states as already re ported to the Federal Bureau of Public Roads. Sen. Gore 'D-Tenni. sponsor of the Senate bill, said he was cer tain the conferees would agree to launch the program under the Senate formula. Readjustment Due . He said the compromise bill might Include provision for a re study by the roads bureau five years hence to determine the ac tual needs of the states In com plete their share of the roadbuild ing. Congress could readjust the formula in line with the bureau's findings, he added. Sen. Francis Case (R-SD), senior Republican on the Senate roads committee headed by Gore, said he also expects that the Senate formula will be used at the start. But he said some way would have to be found to shift the program ultimately to a sound "needs" basis. Boosts Approved . Both House and Senate have approved tax Increases totaling more than 14 billion dollars over a 16 year period to help pay for the highways. ' There would be a penny hike in the present federal gasoline tax of two cents a gallon to raise most of the new money, and increases in the levies on tires, tread rub ber, diesel fuel, trucks, buses and trailers. The public roads bureau esti mated these would cost the typical car owner $8.60 a year.
