Stevenson Must Soon Turn To
Plans for Presidential Campaign
Springfield, 111. UE Gov.
Adlai E. Stevenson's aides said
Wednesday they believe he must
clear his desk of state business
foon and choose a battle plan
and political organization to
carry on his presidential cam
paign. The Illinois governor and
Democratic presidential nom
inee planned to hold a news con
ference Wednesday at which he
could be expected to be asked
about his campaign ideas, if he
has any yet.
First Conference
The conference, to take place
at an undetermined hour this
afternoon, was the first called
by Stevenson since he was
"drafted" by the Democratic Na
tional convention last week.
Speculation among Steven
son's aides centered on Chicago
as the site for a national cam
paign headquarters. The gover
nor last weekend asked National
Steel Companies
To Boost Prices
Pittsburgh (U.R) More
big steel companies were ex
; pected Wednesday to follow the
U.S. Steel Corporation in an
nouncing higher steel prices as
operations in the industry were
being restored rapidly.
At least one other of the "Big
Six" producers indicated it
would announce a price increase
"Wednesday night."
U.S. Steel announced Tuesday
it boosted its prices as of last
Saturday by the amount author
ized by the Office of Price Sta
bilization. Following settlement of the
steel strike last week the. OPS
granted an increase of $5.20 a
ton for carbon steel and higher
increases for alloy products.
This would boost the average
price of steel from $110 a ton
to slightly more than $115.
Chairman Frank E. McKinney
and the Democratic National
Committee staff to stay in their
jobs for the time being.
Wyatt Considered
There has been discussion
among his advisers about invit
ing Wilson Wyatt, former mayor
of Louisville, Ky., and one-time
federal housing expediter, to
take a job in the high command
for the fall campaign, which
must open in about a month,
Never a candidate for office
until he ran for governor in
1948, Stevenson is still relative
ly inexperienced in dealing with
the problems of building a poli
tical organization. His personal
staff, similarly, has had limited
experience, but the Illinois
npmnrratic organization does
contain some veteran political
warriors.
Disregard Once Shown
Stevenson once showed his
disregard of political machine
practice by stripping the party
natrnnaee office of all state
t" "
Davrollers.
When he learned members of
the patronage staff were draw
ing state salaries he either put
them into strictly state jobs or
switched them to the payroll of
the Democratic party.
Fair Deal Opponent
Gels Demo Approval
New Orleans (U.R) Rep.
F. Edward Hebert, outspoken
Fair Deal opponent, Wednesday
won overwhelming Democratic
endorsement for another term
in Congress.
In Democratic primary con
tests for seven of Louisiana's
eight congressional seats, nearly
all the candidates were anti
Truman. Hebert, fiery critic of admin
istration spending, held a 4 to
1 lead over two opponents in
nearly complete returns from
Tuesday's 1st District votes.
Since his homecoming Mon
day, Stevenson has secluded
himself most of the time in the
executive mansion to deal with
such chores as back correspond
ence, congratulatory messages
filling a vacant job and con
tracts calling for his signature.
He invited heads of state de
partments to join him Wednes
day night in a meeting which
presumably will include a dis
cussion of the future conduct of
state affairs,
Peace on Waterfront
Nears Completeness
San Francisco (U.R) The
long awaited West Coast water
front peace neared completeness
as representatives of the Pacific
Maritime association and the
CIO American Radio association
were scheduled to" meet again
Wednesday in efforts to bring
about total settlement of the 62
day shipping strike.
Some Ships Still Idle
Some 20 ships remain tied up
due to the ARA's charge that the
PMA violated their contract by
allowing deck officers to operate
radio-telephones.
' Meanwhile boilers in more
than 100 vessels up and down
the coast were being fired as
sailors returning to their ships
were joined by deck officers.
, The AFL Masters, Mates and
rnots union iuesday unani
mously ratified a PMA contract
which gives them substantially
the same benefits as those ac
cepted Monday by the AFL Sail
ors union of the Pacific.
Wage Boost Included
Terms of the contract include
a five per cent wage increase, a
10-cent daily increase in employ
ers' contributions to the union
welfare fund, and increase of
40-cents in the extra compensa
tion for relief mates and "clari
fication of other contract provi
sions." The contract extends to
Sept. 30, 1953.
American President Lines'
ships, The President Wilson and
The President Cleveland, sched
uled to sail for the Orient this
weekend were among those in
volved in the ARA dispute.

Former Medford
Man Now Captain
A former Medford man,
Cmdr. Irvin L. Dew, U.S. Navy
staff officer with the Fleet Log
istic Air Wing, Atlantic-Contin
ental, was promoted to captain
this month, according to a Navy
Air Wing news release.
Captain Dew, who is now sta
tioned at the Naval air station
at Patuxent River, Md., is the
brother of Mrs. Steven Nye, 816
West 10th street; Mrs. Virginia
Sherwood, Loring court; and
Roger Dew, Central Point. He
graduated from Medford high
school and at that time was
more generally known as Low
ell Dew.
Captain Dew recently return
ed from an inspection trip to
Africa and Europe and spent
some time in Geneva, Switzer
land. He was on duty in the Pa
cific during World War II, and
is a 1933 graduate of Annapolis
Naval academy. He has been
with the FLOG Wing since June,
1951, when he reported there
from Naval War College, New
port, R. I.
down a blockade from Swatow
on the south to the Chusan Is
lands on the north.
Man Sent xo Formosa
So far, he said, the United
States has sent nearly 800 offic
ers and men to Formosa to whip
the Nationalist forces into
shape. The full complement of
American specialists will be
here before Septemper 1
Chase again emphasized as he
has- in the past that the nation
alists' morale is high and that
they are carrying out to the
smallest detail new techniques
of operation. Size of Chiang's
forces is a matter of security
and no official figures are avail
able. Coordination Emphasiiad
Greatest emphasis is on an in
tense program or coordinated
operations by land, air and sea
forces-'That's the main point
on which we are concentrating
at this time," he said.
Chase said he was not satis
fied with the flow of American
equipment, especially big guns
and tanks, but said he realized
American global commitments
must be taken into consideration.
The growing strength of the
Nationalists recently has been
recognized by Adm. William M.
Fechteler, chief of U. S. Naval
operations who spent two days
here recently, and by other
American military leaders.
