(International) ADA Okays Three Leading Men As Demo Presidential Candidates ROGUE RIVER Elderly Resident Passes By LYLE C. WILSON I dare not nominate a conservative United Press Correspondent Washington U.R) The na tional chairman of Americans for Democratic Action has okayed the three lead ing Democrat ic possibilities for next year's presi d e n t i a 1 nomination. The national chairman is Jo seph L. Rauh Jr. of Washing ton, D. C, who was unable to tyle C Wilson . discover any Republican with a chance of being nominated who - would please his organization. Rauh dedicated ADA, however, to seek to influence the nominating con ventions of both political par ties. Rauh listed in alphabetical or der the three Democrats he re gards as leading presidential can didates: Gov. Averell Harriman, New York; Sen. Estes Kefauver, Tennessee, and Adlai E. Steven son, Illinois. In the Bag Any one of these, if nominated, could count ADA in the bag with confidence even though the Re publicans come up with a pres idential ticket substantially fit ting that organization's specifications. The hard core of ADA is com posed of veterans of FDR's New Deal. Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt is national honorary - chairm a n. Robert R, Nathan, a notable New Dealer, is chairman of the exec utive committee. Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., of Stevenson's 1952 strategy board, is national vice chairman.

Rauh disposed of the Demo crats easily in friendly fashion. He devoted most of his speech to an attack on Vice-President Richard M. Nixon and a warning to the Republican Party that it next year. "The Republicans know the independent vote is liberal," Rauh said. "The Democrats know it. Just read the papers.
