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.

names -would be listed.
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.
