Since roll rails In

permanent
record of a member's attitude on
t issues, some interested in politics
put a great store on how an indi
vidual's record shows up, especial
. ly if he is running for reelection.
Not long 'ago Senator Neubergcr
called attention of Oregon editors
. to the fact that he had voted in
support of the Eisenhower foreign
aid program on tix out of seven
rollcalls, while some of the Re
publican "leadership deserted the
President. It is true that Kisen-

office again on Ike's coattails.
However the Inference that might
be drawn from votes on specilic
measures that it was the Demo
crats who rescued the President's
program from defeat is not sub
stantiated on the complete' record.
On individual issues, yes; overall.

no.
This is shown in the summary

by the unit rule, voted to lay its
24 votes on the line tor Stevenson

other unit rule state, pledged its
28 votes to Harriman.
Advanre Dope
That was according to all the
advance dope.
But for varying reasons, all in
volving bargaining power, a numb
er of delegations decided to go
slow now and make no commit
ments. ! New Jersey decided to play a
. waiting game and party leaders
of the state asked Gov. Robert

Wisconsin held off taking a stand,

Presidential nomination to Ke
fauver. Although decisions such as these
weren't necessarily a direct re
sult of Truman's endorsement of
Harriman, they fitted in with the
strategy of the Harriman-Truman
forces to prevent Stevenson from
romping off with the nomination
on an early ballot. They figure if
they can slop Stevenson for per
haps three or four roll calls, he
is stopped for good.
Rival Claims
With the accustomed Immodesty
attendant on these political pow
wows, the rival camps were claim
