he told on Old Settlers' picnic
near Buxton, N. D., that the
"people have no stake in the
Republican convention."
. The Tennessean said it makes
no difference whether the GOP
nominates Sen. Robert A. Taft
or Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhow
er because "the leadership of
the party will remain the same
and the people will be neglect
ed." Kefauver said Sen. Richard
B. Russell of Georgia is the sec
ond strongest candidate. He said
Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson of Ill
inois "has made so many state
ments it's hard to tell what his
attitude is."
Russell was scheduled to ad
dress an American Legion meet
ing in Montgomery, Ala., Mon
day. Sen. William -Benton (D
Conn.), called for a party plat
form including abolition of Sen
ate filibusters and support of
"the legitimate interests and as
pirations of small independent
business."
Benton will demand both
planks when he testifies July 19

sion of the Democratic platform
committee in Chicago. ,

. Chicago (U.R) Mamie Eis
enhower and Martha Taft are
lucky women. Their husbands
like to make a fuss over them
in public.
Delegates to the Republican
National convention are getting
a ' close - up view of the af
fection and solicitude the two
top contenders for the Rupli
can presidential nomination hold
for their wives.
Sen. Robert A. Taft and Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower seem to
thrive on the bone - crushing
grips and back slaps of well-
wishers. But they are quick to
intervene if the friendly shoves
get too much for their wives.
Get Preview
The two women got a pre
view Sunday of the handshak
ing ahead for any first lady of
the land. With their husbands,
they starred at separate recep
tions for delegates and alter
nates.
The first half hour "of the two
hour , ordeal was almost too
much for Mamie. When she
started gasping for aid, Ike led
her to a nearby chair for a rest.
After the party was over,
Mamie confessed "it was my
feet not my hand" that took the
most punishment.
First Appearance
It was Martha Taft's first big
public appearance since she suf
fered a stroke two years ago.
The Senator preceded his wife
to the ballroom of the Conrad
Hilton hotel and started shak
ing hands early. When Mrs. Taft
was rolled on the stage in her
wheel chair, he left the line to
give her a big hug and a kiss.
As the delegates filed through
Taft carefully stood a pace in
front . of his wife to make sure
none of the guests would care
Iesslly bump her chair.
