It said his condition "continues to progress satisfactorily" and he 4,ls In good spirits."

Different sectors, spurred by availability of resources, technological develop ment and the like, grow at dif ferent rates. The dislocations and readjustments which are bound to occur in free markets may re quire some time to be smoothed out. . . - But, he stressed, so long as they proceed in an atmosphere of basic stability in which business and consumers retain their confidence, such readjustments are normal and desirable.

' Es. tes Kefauver-has taken'-stop-4o kiss and make up" with Adlai E. Stevenson. Stevenson promptly re plied that he was "much pleased." Kefauver insisted that his move had no political implications. He said he still is fighting "to win' the Democratic presidential nomi nation over Stevenson and other hopefuls and that his "present" position is that ho would not ac cept the vice presidential nomina tion. But Kefauver made the first move Sunday in apologizing for his personal attacks on Stevenson during their recent presidential primary battles. He said on a na tional television program that "I got mad and lost my head" and "got somewhat out of character" in criticizing Stevenson. He said that If Stevenson should win the Democratic nomination again, he would campaign for him. Stevenson, in a telegram to Ke fauver from his Libortyvillo, 111., home, praised the senator for helping "Immeasurably to restore unity to pur party and strength to our common cause." He said he was "much pleased" by Kefauv er's statement. Although Kefauver refused to count himself out of the presiden tial race, many Dcmociats think his chances suffered & near-mortnl blow with his Florida and Califor nia defeats. There has been spec ulation that he might accept the number two spot on a presidential .ticket headed by cither Stevenson or New York Gov. Avarcll Harri man. If Kefauver threw all of his del egate strength to Stevenson and If his delegates, remained faithful to his lead, Stevenson would have nearly enough convention votes to win the presidential nomination on the first ballot. Stevenson told newsmen In Chi cago Sunday before learning of Kefnuvcr's apology that he, Ste venson, was "the man to beat" for the nomination. He snld he had "probably better than 500" con vention votes now but refused to speculate on how many roll calls would be required to win the nom ination. The number of vote needed to to win the Democratic nomination Is osti'i. Kefauver has 164 conven tion votes at present, according to a United Press survey.
