WILSON Washington (U.R) The word is spreading here and in Illinois that Gov. Adlai E. Stev enson would refuse a Democratic draft for the presidential nomin ation. No such word can be conclu sive until Stevenson himself has said it. But the report is getting around and some usually well informed persons are convinced. Widely Regarded Stevenson has been widely re garded as fitted to hold together on election day the essential elements of a strong Democratic combination because of his of fice, his political record and his geographical location. Presi dent Truman is among those who believe Stevenson could do that. No one doubts Mr. Truman's genuine admiration for Steven son. The President's effort to commit Stevenson to seek the nomination was ill-concealed. Some appraisers of politics be lieve that with Stevenson out of it and the possibility of Mr. Truman being tapped again would be considerably increased. Kefauver Has DeleaatM Sen. Estes Kefauver has the most delegates and Vice Presi dent Alben W. Barkley has par ty-wide popularity. Both would be In a stronger position with SteVenson out. Kefauver has 251 convention votes and no other candidate has as many as 100 Needed to nominate, 616. The other genuine candidates are W. Averill Harriman of New York, Sen. Richard , B. Russell of Georgia and Sen. Robert S. Kerr of Oklahoma. Whether Mr. Truman believes any of them other than Stevenson could win will develop as convention bus iness unfolds in Chicago. Truman Wants Winner Mr. Truman wants a winner, He will exert himself, if nec essary, to guide the convention toward a candidate he believes can win. Whether he would ac cept a draft to avoid a weak ticket or to break a deadlock are questions the President re sents. But if the convention be comes deadlocked, as .geems quite possible, Mr. Truman may be confronted by a draft Tru man effort. The President has said accusa tions that he plotted to obtain his own renominatlon could come only from warped or dis eased minds. It accuses Truman of nothing to observe that, de spite his sharp insistence that he will not run, he remains the best living Democratic cam Deadlocked and frustrated convention delegates would be reluctant to overlook a proven winner. A party's best vote get ter who asks of his party onlv retirement could be a tempting largei for a draft State Gets $2,840,196 From Gasoline Taxes Salem (U.R) Oregon, the state which originated the gasoline tax, collected $2,840,196.95 from this source last April, according to Secretary of State Earl T.
