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.

Hospital Fund Denial
Expected by District
Ashland A request for $233,
000 of Hill-Burton federal hos
pital funds, submitted by the
Valley View hospital district, is
"almost certain" to be denied,
according to Don Lewis," chair
man of the district's board of
directors.
The Hill-Burton funds are
made available on a matching
basis, and the new district does
not yet have funds. Federal mon
ey may become available next
year, after a district bond elec
tion, Lewis pointed out.
Before shooting himself, Joss
left a suicide' note indicating
that he hoped "her kids" would
not receive any of her estate.
He said he assumed he was heir
to the Phoenix school teacher's
estate. The "kids" he referred
to were assumed to be Alfred C.
and Edward C. Apitz, children
by an earlier marriage.
Apitz' attornies are Neff,
Frohnmayer and Lowry.
The word "vitamin" was first
coined in 1912 by Dr. Casimir
Funk, now research director of
U. S. Vitamin Corporation.
