Stevenson's Handlers Urged To Take CSose Look

Stevenson's handlers had better
take a fast look at their candi

thing seems
to be wrong
there.

two occasions he gave Steven

Williams said first that on the
basis of Stevenson's recent cam

Later, in an off-the-cuf speech
before the National Press club.
Williams expanded on the idea.
He objected to Stevenson's

statement of some weeks ago
that the time had come for
moderation in politics. 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.

- 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.

name will be entered in the New

"MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE
Neuberger Proposes
Campaign Financing
Washington, D. C. (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.

D'Ewart Nomination
Washington (U.R) Sen.
Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.).
yesterday ' urged President Eis
enhower to withdraw his nom
ination of Wesley D'Ewart to be
assistant secretary of interior.
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." He said
McKay "now attempts to ra
tionalize the appointment by de
scribing D'Ewart as a man of.
'very, very good judgment'."
