After New Hampshire voted the public might have been better prepared for it, but evidently wasn't. The revelation is that Adlai Stevenson is far weaker with the voting public than has been assumed, while Estes Kefau ver is much stronger. This was shown when Stevenson failed to pick up a substantial write-in vole in New Hampshire, where the party organization was solidly for him, but it was excused because "after all, his name wasn't on the ballot." Nixon's wasn't either, but look what happened in his case. Minnesota was supposed to be in Stevenson's bag. He had everything it appeared. He was endorsed by the central committees of both the Karmer-Labor and the Democratic parties. He was vigorously supported by Senator Humphrey and Governor Freeman. The organization was for him. And he campaigned the state. Kefauver was so sure he was the underdog that he sought to minimize his expected defeat by saying he would consider more than 30 percent of the Demo cratic vote a victory. A modest view indeed. This morning, with most of the votes counted Kefauver had 202,481 to 157,441 for Stevenson, a lead of more than 45,000. Some Republicans invaded the Democratic primary? No doubt they did, for there wasn't much to lure them into their own primary where Eisenhower defeated Senator Knowland 170,439 to 2774. Knowland had announced his withdrawal. But Republicans who voted for Kefauver must have liked the breezy Tennesseean, who whether one thinks him qualified for president or not is a terrific vote getter. And Adlai must have gotten some Republican voles. The i Republicans were never before known to all vote the same way in a contest and probably didn't this time. Most of them doubtless stayed home when there were no contests of importance in their party. Discount it all you will, and Stevenson's supporters will search hard for alibis, the Minnesota vote is startling. The Democratic leaders, who don't like Estes Kefauver are going to have to take him seriously, for ho is the party's best vote getter.. And Adlai Stevenson has slipped badly since 1952, four years in which he has done nothing except complain without much to complain about. The country has cit him down to a small size and it may be as hard to blow him back up as ,it was to put Humpty Dumpty together again. It's as sure as anything ever is in politics that Adlai Stevenson won't be the next president. If nominated he won't be elected, and because this seems so sure his chances for the nomination have been drastically reduced. Those who don't want Kefauver nominated, and they are legion among the leadership, must start looking for someone else to stop him with. Governor Harriman's stock is bound to rise now. And the South, Which had largely reconciled itself to Adlai, is now faced with the prospect of a much more objectionable nominee. We'll see plenty of excitement in the Democratic party now, with Republican excitement diminishing since the presi dent will accept rcnomination and Nixon is pretty sure to be his running mate.

Khrushchev is reported to have charged that Stalin weak ened the country before the onset of World War , II by having 5000 Red army officers "murdered" following the great purge tirals. In spite of warnings by Winston Churchill and Sir Stafford Cripps, then British ambassador to Moscow, Stalin refused to believe that Hitler would attack Russia and his first order to him when the Germans did attack his troops, was not to return the Germans' fire. Khrushchev is said to have accused Stalin of antisemitism, per secution mania, and gross conceit. He said Stalin was behind the 11M4 murder nt Kirov, the Leningrad party leader, and others, mid was planning In the immediate future to get rid of Vyachcslav Mnlntov who had been under house arrest and Khrushchev him seH. At this, some of the delegates arc reported (0 have shouted, "How did you stand it? Why didn't you kill him?" Khrushchev is said to have replied: "What could we do? There was a rcissn of terror. You only had to look at him wrongly and the next day you lost your head." Lenin's unpublished will, said to have a postscript warning the Communist party against Stalin, is likely to he released shortly. Khrushchev is quoted as saying that after the war Stalin became especially suspicious and in the latter portion of his life an atmosphere of "fear and terror" prevailed. Even mem bers of the Politburo lived in fear.

With this theory of a blanket treatment, too many medium and small farmers are left out in the COld. ;!---! . , The number of medium and small sized farms greatly outnum ber the big corporation type farms, so I believe a - solution could be worked out better, if the problem were broken up into more equal parts and each part dealt with separately on its own mer its. t I would suggest a start of study and correction from the bottom, the small farmer, instead of the big corporation farmer at the top.

F.D.R.'s leaf-raking WPA-ers and Civilian Conservation Corps young sters, whose future seemed, so bleak 20 years ago, become Eisen hower conservatives because of the change in the nation's econ mic structure? Republican politico-economic ex perts answer in the affirmative, and will base the strategy of the 1956 presidential campaign on that belief. Although many of the safe guards against job and old-age in security were built by Roosevelt, they are confident that the current and prospective advantages of the reform bill benefit Ike. Between now and election, they will pour out what they call "pros perity statistics" to prove that plenty of good jobs, a high stan dard of living and a decent old age are scue. With political exagger ation, they will contend that this Utopia can be made permanent only through retention of Rfpubli cans in office at Washington.

Paraphrasing Harry S. Truman's bread-and-butter, full-dinner-p a i 1 appeal to workingmen and farm ers in 1948, GOP campaigners will chant that "Anybody who votes Democratic, or even slightly radi cal on economic matters, ought to have his head examined!" They maintain that they have Ihe figures to prove their theory, as they evidence with a few samplings: Almost 60 per cent ol the popula tion are homeowners today, as against 40 per cent toward the close of F.D.R.'s second term. They have mortgages which they do not want jcpardized, and taxes which they do not want raised. There are more than 5,000,000 two car owners, whereas the number owning even one car was only 5,- 000,000 40 years ago.

Their preservation demands eco nomy and efficiency in govern ment, profits for business and in dustry, and a conservative man agement at Washington and else where. Prosperity Statistics Wages approximate $2 an hour, or more In major industries. With federal recognition and protection of the unions' collective bargain ing contracts, more than 65,000, 000 men and women have maxi mum assurance of work. Despite depressed agricultural conditions, government support of prices, as sures a livable income for most farmers. But the most consoling thought is that Uncle Sam recog nizes and assumes responsibility for their state. The 1955 "prosperity statistics," which are now under politico-economic analysis, are phenomenal. In that year, the American people bought more necessities and lux uries than ever before cars, tele vision sets, air conditioners, furs, clothes, pianos, jewelry. They built more homes than in any year ex cept 1950's peak. Their personal income reached the record total of 5315 billion by December. They paid federal, state and lo cal taxes amounting to almost $90 billion. And yet, they saved more than $16 billion for a rainy day, which the Republicans say will never dawn, if the voters keep them in power.
