i f II Mill' IIS f THEY'RE "FOR" ESTES Senator Kefauver's wife, Nancy, and his father, Robert Cook Kefauver, join in the demonstration for their favorite candidate when his name was placed in nomina tion Thursday at the Democratic National Convention. GIs Pick Stevenson Though Candidate Generally Unknown Frankfurt, Germany (U.R) ; Most G.I.'s interviewed in West ern Germany Saturday said they never had heard of Gov. Adlai Stevenson, but would vote for him anyway "to keep a general out of the White House." A typical reaction to the Dem ocrat's nomination of Stevenson for president came from Sgt, William B. Stewart of Erwin, N. C. Said he: Never Heard of Him "Stevenson? Never heard of him. I didn't even know who was runnin,. But I don't approve of military leaders bossing the country." Most G.I.'s praised their old boss and the Republican presi dential nominee, Dwight D Eisenhower, as a general, but Hid not want him to win in November. "I just don't like Ike," said Cpl. Paul Rossi, Brooklyn, N. Y. ' "He's got me scared." . Governor Stevenson "Stevenson . . . Stevenson? oh, yeah, he's a governor some where," Rossi said. "Well, the Democrats picked up the coun try in a rough spot 20 years ago. Let 'em put up who they want. I'll be on their team in Novem ber." In a post exchange snack bar, PFC William King of Chelsea, 'Mass., said: - "We had a bull session in the : barracks. All the G.I.'s seem to think a general in the White .House might keep all us guys overseas." Shrunk Says Primary Need Demonstrated Chicago U.R) Terry Shrunk. Oregon delegation chairman. said Saturday that the 1952 Democratic convention showed the need for primaries in all states. He called the convention, the first he has attended, "quite an education." "The manner of maneuvering in conventions," he said "some times is a little startling. "I do feel quite strongly that conventions such as this could be Improved materially if each state required election of dele gates in an open preference pri mary for president and vice president." The delegation stuck to its pledge to Kefauver through two ballots but cracked slightly on the third, when Dave Epps of Sweet Home demanded a poll and shifted to Stevenson. Shrunk said most of the dele gates "regret very much that Ke fauver wasn't nominated. Britons Express Pleasure With US Political Choices London (U.R) Britons looked Saturday to continued American world leadership no matter who wins the presiden tial election. - The nomination of Gov. Ad lai E. Stevenson as the Demo cratic candidate was welcomed, just as was the Republicans' nomination of Dwight D. Eisen hower. Both Europe's Friends There was a definite feeling, in Britain and Western Europe generally, that the Americans had picked the best men in the respective parties both good friends of Europe. An immediate effect of Stev enson's nomination, following upon that of Eisenhower, was to raise American prestige still higher. "The choice of Stevenson and Eisenhower is the best propa ganda America could have now" an official commented. While the nomination of Eis enhower was greeted with joy, some people were saying today they hope Stevenson will win the election. Britons and West Euro peans generally know, like and trust Eisenhower. They saw in his victory the defeat of iso lationism. But they believe that if Stevenson wins, American foreign policy is sure to continue about as it is under President Truman. They see also what they feel is the possibility that Iso lationists in the Republican par ty would ride Eisenhower's coat tails if he won. Utah Delegates Claim .. Nomination of Governor Chicago (U.R) Utah dele gates claimed Saturday they nominated Gov. Adlai Stevenson as the Democratic; presidential nominee. The delegation did cast the votes that put Stevenson over the 616 majority needed. Rep waiter Granger announced the switch from 7i to all 12 Utah votes for Stevenson. The switch was the last that permanent chairman Sam Ray- burn allowed before he declared Stevenson nominated. Motor Lost in Lake For Two Years Starts Coulee Dam, Wash. (U.R) L. R.
