Mi Over
democrat
Washington U.R) The split
within the Democratic party
over civil rights was clearly re
fleeted today in the differing
stands taken on the issue by its
top contenders for the presiden
tial nomination.
New York Gov. Averell Har-
riman, the latest to spell out his
views, said he favored cutting
off federal funds to public
schools which refuse to end seg
regation. He also called for im
mediate federal enforcement of
the Supreme court's desegrega
tion ruling.
Following Harriman's state
ment yesterday, Adlai E. Steven
son reiterated his stand that
there should be no slowing
down of desegregation efforts
But, he said, "we must recog
nize that it is reason alone that
will determine our rate of con
tinued progress. ,
Against Tie-In !
Stevenson earlier stated his
opposition to provide that no
federal funds should go to seg
regated schools.
The third presidential con
tender. Sen. Estes Kefauer (D.-
Tenn.) has hedged on this ques
tion. He said Friday his decision
would depend on (1) whether
the amendment's language could
be, framed consistently with the
Supreme court's desire for "or
derly transition" and with al
lowance for "complex local
problems" and (2) whether the
practical effect of the amend
ment would be to defeat the
school aid bill.
In Republican political devel
opments yesterday, the news
concerned personalities more
than issues. ;
Agriculture Secretary Ezra T.
Benson denied that his party
was trying to keep him out of
active participation in .T this
year's campaign. He said he is
f flqoded . with speaking invita
tions. .. .
Heart Report
Dr. Paul Dudley White, the
. Boston heart specialist, said that
President Eisenhower's doctors
.will give him a report on his
latest physical examination late
Tuesday or Wednesday. But he
Wisconsin Paper Says
Received Favors by Oi
Milwaukee (U.R) The Mil
waukee Journal said yesterday
that Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy
(R-Wis.), has received favors
from the Superior Oil Co., -the
company that offered a $2500
"campaign contribution" to Sen.
Francis Case (R-S.D.).
The newspaper said that "in
,1953, McCarthy and his wife
were ferried across and around
the country in a private plane
: registered in the name of the
Superior ,Oil Co., Oil and Gas
Bldg., Houston, Tex."
"The campaign report filed
with the secretary of state by
the McCarthy Club Nov. 3,
1952, showed a $2000 'donation'
by N. B. Keck,' the Journal'said.
j'Thls donor apparently was H.
: B. Keck, president of the Super
ior Oil Co., Los Angeles.
Principal Committee
"The contribution was made
Sept. 15, 1952, according to the
club report. The McCarthy Club
. was the Senator's principal cam-
. paign committee in his 1952 cam
paign for reelection." ,
The Journal said positive
identification of contributors to
Wisconsin -campaigns is difficult
available.

Washington friends of Vice-
Symington
Info Demo
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Correspondent
Washington (U.R) Stuart
Symington is a handsome, 55-year-old
Missourian of whom the
whole world
may become
abruptly
aware some
hot night next
August.
Symi ngton

U. S. Senator
from Missouri,

quite possible if not yet prob
ablethat the Democratic Party
will nominate Symington for
President this year. ,
He would be a compromise
candidate, considerably short of
a 100 per cent left winger, but
not a conservative, either, by a
large margin. There is more than
a whisper of . speculation in
Washington that Symington
would stand to gain the most
if the three more' publicized
Democrats were rejected.
The three are: Adlai E. Stev
enson, Illinois; Sen. Estes ' Ke
fauver, Tennessee, and Gov.
Averell Harriman, New York.
Former President Harry S. Tru
man nominated Stevenson al
most single-handed in 1952.
There is some basis, for doubt
now that Mr. Truman is in Stev
enson's corner.
Accused of Straying
Harriman looks more like Mr.
Truman's man. Stevenson is be
ing accused of straying to the
middle of the road. The . left
because addresses of contributor
don't have to be listed and names
often are carelessly written. The
newspaper said efforts to reach
Keck to confirm his contribu
tions were "fruitless."
. The newspaper said Superior
Oil Co. has offices in both Hous
ton and Los Angeles and its bus
iness is .acquisition of oil lands
and production of crude, oil and
natural gas. The firm has oil
producing properties in most oil
states, the newspaper said.'
Leased Submerged Land .
In 1947, the Superior Oil Co.
and Salt Dome Oil Corp. jointly
leased from Texas about 66,000
acres of submerged land in the
Gulf of Mexico and Galveston
Bay, the newspaper said, u
"Sen. McCarthy voted for the
bill giving states the off shore
oil lands and for the Harris-Full-bright
bill freeing gas producers
The Pony express was esab

build him up for the presidency
while Mr. Eisenhower's 1956
plans are unknown.
Republican National Chair
Might JumpOvernight
Presidential Picture
wing of the Democratic Party
seems to be a bit suspicious of
him. - Harriman and ; Kef auver
are 100 per centers, loyal to Mr.
Truman's Fair Deal and there
fore without much support from
middle roaders and with none
among party conservatives.
On the basis of their records,
Mr. Truman could go easily for
either , of them, except that Ke
fauyer offended in 1952 by meet
ing and beating the then presi
dent in New Hampshire's presi
dential, primary. Mr. Truman is
not likely to forget that.
'.Neither would he be likely to
forget . that Symington served
him well and that they are fel
low Missourians, although Sym
ington is a carpet bagger of sorts,
having been born in Massachu
setts and schooled in the East.
Symington was FDR's wartime
assistant secretary of war for
air. ; He was , first secretary of
the independent Air Force under
Mr. Truman. Later he was chair
man of the National Security
Resources Board. When the Re
construction Finance Corp. was
in trouble, Mr. Truman named
Symington administrator to un
trouble it.
Did Good Job
Republicans and Democrats
agree that Symington did a good
job wherever FDR or Mr. Tru
man , put him. Before the war
he was 'president of the Emer
son Electric Manufacturing Co.,
St. Louis. He has, as the saying
goes, met a payroll.
Mrs. S. is a charming woman,
daughter of former Sen. James
W. Wadsworth of New York.

Portland Police
Investigate Death
Portland U.R) Police Sat
urday were; investigating the
possibility of foul play in -the
death of Charles Hildgrof.IJjS,
Portland.
: Hildgrof's body was found late
Friday in his home. Deputy cor
oner Ted Lucas said he had ap
parently died Thursday but a
preliminary, autopsy failed to
disclose the cause of death.
The body, clad" in pajamas in
a bedroom, was found by Hild
grof's mother, Mrs. Josephine
Douglas, who had just returned
from a Portland hospital. She
said the bedroom and living
room of . the small house were
torn up. '.

pression days, Eve Symington
did a chore of night club enter
taining. She sings, and good.
There are two sons, Stuart and
James.
Symington is an 80 per center
on the Americans for Democratic
Action honor roll. . That means
he voted the left wing, ADA
way, on 80 per cent of certain
roll calls in the last session of
Congress which the ADA chose
as standards. The issue involved
were taxes, reciprocal trade, for
eign aid, public housing, state
hood (Alaska and Hawaii), natur
al gas, the censure resolution
against Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy
(R-Wis.). V
Only 11 Democratic senators
had higher percentages in the
ADA calculation., Only four
senators were graded 100 per
cent Humphrey, Minn.; . Leh
man, N. Y.; McNamara, Mich.;
and, you guessed it, Kef auver..
Students Reported
No Violence Pledge
Tuscaloosa, Ala. (U.R) Eighty
per cent of the University : of
Alabama student body was re
ported pledged Saturday to a
"no violence" policy if Negro
Autherine Lucy returns to class
es. But the possibility arose that
"cold wr". might replace phys
ical demonstrations. .
"Most of us are strong segre
gationists," Walter Flowers,
president of the student body,
said, "but we're not for viol
ence." ,
University President O. C.
Carmichael's promise that Miss
Lucy will" be reinstated if fed
eral court so directs at a Feb.
29 hearing was backed indirect
ly by Gov. James E. Folsom.
Carmichael said police rein
forcements may be needed to
assure the 26-year-old coed full
protection. The governor said he
would do all in his power to
prevent "mob rule" which could
be taken to mean he would send
the militia if that is what it
takes for the Negro to attend
classes in safety. '"':
Miss Lucy was suspended last
Monday' after rioters stoned her
automobile and . tried to grab
her. : Carmichael said the sus
pension was a safety measure
and loudly denounced Miss, Lucy
for going to court Thursday
with a charge that the' college
used "cunning stratagey" - to
bring on the riots 'and provide
an excuse for her exclusion be
cause of her 'race.
