Battle Close
In California
By JACK BELL
SAN FRANCISCO (AVAdlai E.
Stevenson and Sen. Erie Kefauver
of Tennessee appeared locked Sat
urday in a close battle for Cali
fornia'! critical 61 Democratic
presidential nominating votes.
In a campaign sharpened with
Dilternejs, the two rivals left al
most no part of snrawline Cali
fornia unvisited in their quest for
voles in the last and most impor
' tant of the nation's presidential
primaries here next Tuesday.
But there were signs that the
candidates themselves were much
more concerned about the outcome
than the average California voter
Mreel corner and supermarket
crowds were generally small. The
apathy spelled out the prospect of
a relatively light turnout among
the s t a t e ' s 3.059.873 registered
Democrats.
By and large, Stevenson's crowds
were bigger than those which came
out to hear Kefauver, particularly
niter Stevenson's victory in t h e
Florida primary last Tuesday. Ke
fauver's backers attributed this to
better organization work than they
could provide for their catchav
catch-can campaign.
Rot Confident
Both candidates expressed confi
dence about the outcome '
Stevenson, campaigning in the
San Joaquin Valley, said he thinks
he knows "what the outcome will
be" when the voters answer what
he called "personal attacks'' again
st him by Kefauver that he said
"hurt the Democratic Party."
Kefauver said 'I think I'm doing
all right" in what obviously is his
rio-or-die effort to demonstrate to
the iorthcuming Democratic na
tional convention that he is the
choice of the average voter
K Joseph Donohue. kclauv.r
national campaign manager, called
the contest "a horse race" but
said he thinks the Tennessee sen
ator will nose out his opponent
1OA.O04 Margin
James Finnegan. Stevenson's
manager, was "cautiously 'optimis
tic." But Paul Siffren. Democra
tic national committeeman pre
dicted a -tonooo-vote margin (or
Stevenson, who he is supporting
As the candidates boiled down
the home stretch, both were bid
ding desperately (or support o( Ne
gro and old age pension voters
who make up two of the largest
blocks among the Democrats.
Kefauver accused Stevenson of
"civil rights equivocation." con
tending that in Florida his rival
was presented as a "moderate" on
the school integration issue while
in California he was being pictured
as a crusader " for civil rights.
Won't Answer
Stevenson said he would not an
swer this kind o.' attack because
"I do not wish In degrade erther
myself or my opponent or hurt the
Democratic Party or demean the
greatest office in the world"
Kefauver has made what poli
tical hay he could with statements
that as gnvernorwf Illinois Steven
son vetoed a pension increase bill
Stevenson replied that he had ve
toed the hill because the Illinois
Republican legislature refused to
prov ide the tax money to meet the
increase
Kefauver has the hacking of the
National Institute of Social Welfare
and the California Institute of So
cial Welfare, pension groups the
Tennessee senator's leaders hope
will be worth 60.000 votes to him
Stevenson's best appeal to these
groups came in a one-day (lying
campagn for him here by Mrs
Franklin D Roosevelt
With defense industries stretched
al' over the state, both candidates
have bidden actively for organized
labor's vote (ienerally. the labor
leaders hack Stevenson but Kefau
