Stevenson Says Illinois Governor Trying To Be GOP Hatchet Man Chicago U.R)AdlaI E. Ste-j venson last night accused Illi-j nois Gov. William Stratton of trying to become the GOP's hat chet man now thst Vice-President Richard M. Nixon "is offi cially on his own." The charge was a tit for tat rejoinder to Stratton's free swinging attack on Stevenson's record as governor of Illinois. Stratton succeeded Stevenson in the Illinois governor's man sion but had generally refrained from head-on collision with his predecessor until he opened up in New York last night. He called Stevenson "one of the weakest" Democratic presi dential candidates and said that his Illinois administration was marked by "neglect . . . open scandal and grievous disaster." Stevenson wasted no time in branding Stratton's attack as "hysterical" and charging that he is trying to achieve a nation al role as a Republican hatchet man. "We Democrats have some curiosity about the composition of the Republican ticket," he said. "We know who is going to carry the flag, but there seems to be some question as to who will wield the hatchet. "I gather that Gov. Stratton has entered the spring tryouts for that important post, in case Mr. Nixon falters now that he is officially on his own." Stevenson was . referring to speculation over whether Nixon has President Eisenhower's backing for a second term as vice-president. The President said at his Wednesday news con ference that he has told Nixon to make up his own mind about whether he wants to be a can didate. Opened Fir Stratton opened fire on Ste venson's record in a New . York news conference and in a speech at the National Republican club. He listed a . mine disaster, prison riots, and alleged scan dals in state purchases and counterfeited cigarette stamps as among the faults of Steven son's 1949-1953 administration. Stevenson failed to make an attack on Illinois problems, lead ing to "the assumption that he couldn't do it nationally," Strat ton said.
