Stevenson's Handlers Urged To Take CSose Look By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington U.R) Adlai E. Stevenson's handlers had better take a fast look at their candi date's labor re lations. Some thing seems to be wrong there. Mich igan's D e m o c r a tic Gov. G. Men n e n Williams has been in W a s h i ngton. fib t It ' t Lyle C. Wilson P u b 1 i c ly on two occasions he gave Steven son a political hotfoot fit 0 to arouse a wooden Indian. Williams said first that on the basis of Stevenson's recent cam paign tactics he could not sup port him for next August's Dem ocratic presidential nomination. Later, in an off-the-cuf speech before the National Press club. Williams expanded on the idea. He objected to Stevenson's So smootti it leaves you breathless mvrno tfie qreaiest 'name VODKA O proof Mde from 1 00 'To grain neutral spina Ste. Pierre Smirnoff FIs. Inc.. Hartford.

Modera tion won't do, Williams told the club lunchers. He said that the Democrats must have a bold and courageous program. "It's like being chased by a bear," Williams explained. "It is not sufficient when be ing chased by a bear merely to be headed in the right direction. You must move, too." Harriman Whacks Stevenson Gov. Averell Harriman of New York also whacked Steven son on charges of being a politi cal moderate. Harriman said there was no place in the Demo cratic pary for moderation. Two governors don't make a nominating convention. But these two are powerful men in the Democratic party. One of them, Harriman, is campaigning for the presidential nomination although he has not yet publicly admitted it. The hard fact which puts zing in Williams' words is that he is the political pal of one of the most powerful politically mind ed leaders in the wide, wide world. His pal is Walter Reuth er, head man of the automotive workers and boss of the CIO un til it was merged with AFL. Reuther now is vice-president of the merged giant. It is no reflection on either roan to say that when one takes snuff the other is likely to sneeze. Williams, Reuther and Co., have built a political or ganization, in Michigan which seems utimately capable of running the Republicans right out of the state. Williams has been governor since 1949. It looks like a lifetime job unless he is promoted or decides to quit. . Reuther Has Wide Power Except for the influence he would - have in delivering the Michigan delegation to a presi dential candidate at the nomi nating convention, Williams is not a great power outside his own state. Neither is Harriman. Reuther's power, however, breaks across state lines into most industrial areas. pliance, Phone 3-5306 137 - If Williams is thumbing Ste venson out, it must be assumed that Reuther would do likewise and that the pair have dis cussed what to do next. That looks like bad news for the Ste venson candidacy. It could lick him, although Williams indi cates that there still is time for Stevenson to repent, wash his Stevenson Urged To Assume Bold Line in Forthcoming Campaign Washington (U.R) An im portant Democrat has sounded a sour note a few blocks from the White House on the political as pirations of Adlai E. Stevenson. Gov. G. Mennen Williams of Michigan told the National Press Club yesterday that Stevenson's "moderation" campaign "simply will not do." He urged Steven son to take a "bold and courage ous line." And on Sunday he said he couldn't support Stevenson on the basis of his campaign record so far. Possible Candidate Williams, four times governor of Michigan, has been mentioned as a possible presidential or vice presidential nominee. And one of his principal political al lies is Walter Reuther, AFL-CIO vice president and president of the United Automobile Workers Union. Other political news: 1. President Eisenhower's name will be entered in the New Jersey presidential primary. New Jersey election laws do not require consent of a candidate for entry of his name in the April 17 election. 2. George F. Kennan, former ambassador to Russia, an nounced organization of a Ste venson for President Committee in New Jersey. 3. Heart specialist Paul Dud ley White said his next examina tion of the President will be "sometime between Feb. 10 and Feb. 15, depending on when I get a call from the White New "Super 2600" Calrod unit; c o k. s faster than gas. .

(Special) A proposal that national po litical campaigns be financed by the federal treasury was made today by Sen. Richard L. Neu berger CD-Ore.). In an article in the current issue of the Christian Century, the Oregon senator said that such a scheme would make pos sible the avoidance of commit ments to special interests dur ing a campaign, based on big campaign contributions. He rec ommended that each major party receive about 10 cents for every voter who cast a ballot in the previous election. Senator' Neuberger estimated that this would provide a cam paign fund of about $6,500,000 for Democrats and Republicans alike. His article claimed this system would be far preferable to permitting private interests to have government officials in their debt.. The senator pointed out that his proposal is substantially the same as a suggestion made to congress in 1907 by President Theodore Roosevelt, who feared domination of politics by "great corporate wealth." Senator Neu berger said he is drafting legis lation to follow up the idea.

He told the Senate the D'Ew art appointment was "ill-advised" because of his "record of unfriendly acts in the field of resource conservation." He said D'Ewart, former Montana Republican congress man, had sponsored a "grazing giveaway" bill which Interior Secretary Douglas McKay once described as "lousy."
