( f Stevenson Apparently Highly Favored Over Other Demos By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent . Washington (U.R Adlai E. Stevenson apparently has a big bulge over all comers in the Demccr atic party whereas R e pu b 1 icans have not yet swung in large numbers to any 1956 pres idential favor ite. That state ment is based upon an un Lyle C. Wilson usual sampling of political opinion just com pleted by the United Press. Fifteen United Press bureaus, each suitably located geographi cally, participated in this sam pling. Each asked a given num ber of representative individuals to state who they believe to be at this time the most likely pres idential candidates next year, assuming that President Eisen t hower does not run. It was stipulated that these in dividuals name not their own fa vorites but the persons they : think most likely as of now to win the respective nominations.

First Choice Votes The United Press polled 100 men in most fields of adult activ ity. There will be a later sam pling of women's opinion. Reflecting the likely scramble for position in the GOP if Mr. Eisenhower steps aside, 13 Re publicans received varying num bers of "first choice" votes. There were only six Democrats sharing "first choice" votes. Here at a glance, are the lead ers in the polling: . Democrats " Adlai E. Stevenson 55 Averell Harriman 31 Estes Kefauver 5 Republicans Richard M. Nixon 36 Earl Warren 25 Thomas E. Dewey 6 Milton S. Eisenhower 6 William F. Knowland 5 Those polled represent : a cross-section of Americans. Ed ward Budd Jr., president of Budd Co., Philadelphia, is typi cal of the industrialists contact ed. Paul Amidon, former super intendent of schools, St. Paul, was among the teachers, a group which included seven university presidents. There was one opera director, 17 labor leaders, a hotel chef, a dozen farmers, 15 com pany executives. The political judgment of Fred S. Gurley, president of the Santa Fe railroad, is imbedded in the sample along with that of Nor vell Clark, Dallas typewriter re pairman, and each has equal weight. The combined judgment of these men suggested some po litical trends. Republican: Vice-President Nixon is top man for 1956 in the collective judgment of those polled but he is a long way from a majority choice. Nixon got 36 first place votes and one as a second choice alternate. Chief Justice Warren scored 25 and one. The:i came Dewey and Milton Eisenhower, the Pres ident's brother, with six choices each. It is apparent that they and the other Republicans have far to go. Other Republicans getting "first choice" votes were Know land and Gov. Goodwin J. Knight, both of California; Sec retary of Treasury George M. Humphrey, Ohio; Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, New POPE PIUS XII and John Foster Dulles pose together fol lowing talks at Vatican. The American secretary of state visited the pontiff . while en route to an important NATO conference in Paris. The Catholic Church leader renewed his wishes for President Eisenhower's recovery. (International) York; Special Presidential As sistant Harold E. Stassen, Min-, nesota and Pennsylvania; FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, Dis trict of Columbia; Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, Massachu setts; Atty. Gen. Herbert Brown ell Jr., New York, -and Gov. Christian A. Herter, Massachu setts. An important factor in Nix on's political situation is suggest ed by a study of the other Re publican choices. Most of them are Eisenhower Republicans or liberal Republicans as contrasted with the right wing of the party. It seems fair to assume that the right wing Republicans centered almost exclusively on Nixon while the other elements scat tered their fire. Four From California It also is worth noting that four of the first six among Re publicans are from California: Nixon, Warren, Knowland and Knight. m Democrats: The sampling indicated the Democrats already have narrow' ed their field to three likely contenders. Stevenson and Harriman are well to the front. Tennessee's Kefauver is regarded as a con tender. . Only five persons in this sam pling believe Kefauver to be the likely Democratic nominee, the five being scattered in the South. Midwest and Northwest. Both Stevenson and Harriman were picked in every regional geo graphical area. Some Salty Comment Only three other Democratic names were returned. Sen. Stu art Symington of Missouri scores 1 two first place votes; Sen. John W. Sparkman of Alabama, two, and Gov. Frank S. Lausche of Ohio, .one. The sampling obtained some salty comment: An Eastern la bor leader said "Eisenhower will not be reelected. Labor will see to that." A Midwest university presi dent ' said Milton Eisenhower would be nominated and elect ed "if the people had any sense. A Midwest labor leader said "They're crazy if they nominate Nixon." - A Southern manufacturer said he always has been a Republi can but that the party has no one "worth nominating, adding, "I'll probably vote Republican again." ' . , .'. A Midwest executive: "I think Nixon will get the Republican nomination. I just don't see how the Republicans can nominate anyone else, even though they might want to." Average Pilot Older, CAA Study Reveals Washington, D.C. A typical pilot no longer is a downy-cheeked youngster; he's ' more likely to be the up-and-coming busi ness man . living next door, ac cording to a study by the Civil Aeronautics administration. Of the active pilots in the United States (those with up-to-. date physical - examinations), more than 76,000 are in the "over 40" group, although the largest percentage are between the ages of 30 and 39'. These groups contain many pilots who fly their own aircraft in connec tion with their busiensses. The new figures contrast sharply with the data obtained in a 1946 study. At that time the highest percentage of pilots was in the 20 to 29age group, and the number of pilots fell off very rapidly over 30 years of age.
