Friendly Word From Truman Would Come in
Handy Now for Several Big-Name Democrats
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Correspondent
Washington U.R) A word
from Independence, Mo., would
corne in handy right now for
fSf- several big-
name D e m o-
crais. A inena-
I' 3t
iy word, that is.
y Harry S. Tru-
i man proDaDiy
couid pick up
pieces of the
Stevenson boom
it ne were mind
ed to become
san in the pre-convention cam
paign. A couple of give-'em-hell
speeches in California, for in
stance, could do wonders.
Or Mr. Truman could give a
nod to Sen. Esles Kefauver,
whrSe campaign is high-balling
now through green pastures.
Feeling Not Known
None knows for sure, how
ever, how the former president
feels toward either of these
candidates. Kefauver licked Mr.
Truman four years ago in New
Hampshire's presidential pri
mary. Adlai E. Stevenson was
nominated four years ago by Mr.
Truman almost single handed.
But nominee Stevenson brushed
fee President aside soon there
aiter. Mr. T. may not forgive
and forget either of these slight
ful incidents.
To a man up a tree, Gov.
Averell Harriman looks like the
man Mr. Truman would be most
likely to go for this year. He
owes Harriman one, anyway. It
was Harrfman only in 1952
q among the Democratic aspirants
who sought the presidential
nomination on a 100 per cent I-love-Harry
platform. Harriman
was a Fair Deal candidate, with
out qualification.
The President passed over
him, however, probably because
ihe Harriman of four years ago
was a political novice. He's been
blooded since by an upset de
feat of Sen. Irving M.Ives in
their contest, for governor of
New York.
Mr. Truman's support, freely
given, probably could assure
Kefauver's nomination despite
the considerable opposition to
him among southern Democratic
leaders. His active opposition
probably could stop any one of
the three.
There is another Democratic
senator to whom Mr. Truman
owes a good deed before his po
litical day is done. He is Stuart
Symington, a fellow Missourian.
Symington performed some
tough jobs for President Tru
man, trouble shooting where
there was real trouble.
Looks the Other Way
When Symington yearned for
Missouri's Democratic senato
rial nomination in 1952, how
ever, Mr. Truman looked the
other way.
Symington had to buck the
president's choice, and he got
away with it. There was no hint,
however, that Mr. Truman was
offended by Symington's deci
sion to make the race without a
presidential blessing.
Deadlock in next August's
Democratic National convention
could mean big things for Sym
ington. He is not notoriously as
sociated with either extreme of
the Democratic party, nor
wounded so far in the party war
over race relations.
Mr. Truman is playing his
1956 hand like the good poker
man he is known to be. It would
not be like him to be bluffed
out before the cards go down nor
to come up at a time like this
with shorts or, merely, two small
pair.

Washington (U.R) Sen.
Estes- Kefauver now has only
five per cent of the national con
vention delegates he needs to
win the presidential nomination.
But a continuing string of pri
mary victories could give him
formidable strength.
By his primary victories in
New Hampshire and Minnesota,
the Tennessean won 34 of the
delegate votes to be cast at the
Democratic national convention.
To win. a candidate must have
687 of the 1372 convention
votes.
The next, presidential primary
comes a week from tomorrow
in Wisconsin, where Kefauver
will pocket 28 more delegate
votes without contest. That pri
mary will bring his total to 62,
still less than 10 per cent of
the total needed.
The 10 states in which Ke
fauver has entered or announc
ed plans to enter presidential 24 in Alaska, where the pri-
Drimaries have a total of 276
convention votes.
In most of these states, Ke
fauver has his own delegate
slate or the delegates elected
are committed to the winner of
the primaries. If he keeps buil
ding his delegate total, he pre
sumably will be picking up
some strength in states which
do not hold presidential pri
maries. California alone could furn
ish him 68 delegate votes, an
other 10 per cent toward his
goal. There he will be matched
in his final contest with Adlai
E. Stevenson, the 1952 nominee
whose campaign was so badly
damaged by Kefauver's upset
victory in the Minnesota pri
mary last week.
Steven.son emerged with only
four delegates from Minnesota.
He faces Kefauver again April

It also was announced that
Stevenson and Kefauver write
in campaigns will be conducted
in the -May 18 Oregon primary,
which binds the convention
delegates. Oregon has 16 con
vention votes.
Stevenson also is entered in
the primaries April 10 in his
home state of Illinois and April
24 in Pennsylvania without op
position. Between them, these
states have 138 convention votes
but . the primaries do not bind
the delegates.
After Wisconsin, Kefauver
will bid for New Jersey's 36
convention votes against an un
committed state organization
slats of delegates. Other states
in which he will be a candidate
are Maryland and South Da
kota. In 1952, Kefauver won a
string of primary victories and
polled 340 votes on the first bal
lot at the convention, but Stev
enson won on the third. The
Tennessee senator again faces
determined opposition from
within the party organization.
Primary victories alone cannot
insure his nomination.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE
Westinghouse Starts
Work at Eight Plants
Pittsburgh
house Electric Corp. resumed
operations at eight plants
throughout the country today
with acceptance of a 5-year con
tract by the United Electrical
Workers Union Ind.
About two-thirds of the union's
members remained on strike at
a suburban Philadelphia plant.
The agreement, signed here
Sunday, included only slighty
more than 3,000 of the union's
total 9,000 Westinghouse mem
bership. Some 950 members of UE Lo
cal 456 planned to remain off
their jobs at the Westinghouse
plant in Jersey City, N.J. today,
pending a ratification vote on
the new agreement. The mem
bers will meet Tuesday night to
vote on the new pact.
Workers Remain Out
Some 350 members of Local
456, International Union of Elec
settled with Westinghouse last
Thursday, have remained out at
the Jersey City plant in sympa
thy with the UE walkout.
Some 6,000 members of UE
Local 107 at the firm's big Les
ter, Pa., turbine plant continued
the strike they began more than
five months ago in a dispute
over incentive rates.
Negotiations between Local
107 and Lester plant manage
ment were scheduled to resume
in Philadelphia today. ;
The suburban Philadelphia
workers went on strike when
the company switched produc
tion workers from incentive
rates to flat salaries.' The union
claimed the change meant a 20
per cent cut in pay.
The five-year contract was pat
terned on one accepted last week
by the IUE after a 156-day
strike. It contained an average
25-cent hour pay increase with
5-to-17 cents per hous during the
first year and 5-to-12-cents an
hour each of the following four
years. . ,
The contract also included a
cost of living adjustment of one-
(U.R) Westing-. cent an hour for each one-half
point rise in the cost of living
index, in addition to pension, in
surance and other fringe bene
fits. The UE walkout began last
Oct. 25 when 10,500 employees
left their jobs at 10 plants. The
formal strike call was preceded
on Oct. 14 when the Lester plant
employees launched their walk
out. The dispute cost UE workers
an estimated $17,000,000 in lost
wages and cut deeply into West
inghouse production. It also cost
the UE bargaining rights at the
Sunnyvale, Calif., plant where
employees bolted the UE to join
the International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers.
The UE contract was the 40th
five-year pact negotiated by un
ions representing Westinghouse
employees. It covered workers
at Bridgeport, Conn., Derry and
Pittsburg, Pa., Jersey City, Chi
cago, Detroit, Emeryville, Calif.,
and Seattle, Wash.

TOP PERFORMANCE TOP ECONOMY. Nineteen strictly
stock cars with automatic transmissions have just
turned in top records in the toughest Mobilgas Econ-.
omy Run ever driven.
These 1956 models, using the same Mobilgas Special
you buy at your station, proved that economy can still
be had with peak performance. This despite the fact
that, on the average, horsepower is up 19.46 from
last year.
TOUGH TEST. In 3V5 days drivers covered a. rugged
1468.9 miles of desert heat, mountain cold, and city
traffic ... altitudes from 203 feet below sea level to
11,315 feet. Official observers sat alongside Run drivers
to be sure cars were driven at maximum legal speed,
. never "coasted" and all rules rigidly followed.
All types of weather and temperature were encountered
to duplicate every condition the driver of any car is
likely to meet in a year's time.
Rules for the Run are rigidly made, rigorously enforced.
Impartial observers are provided by the independent
Sports Commission of the United States Auto Club.
This in turn is approved by the Federation Internation
ale de 1' Automobile ( F.I. A.) , international supervising
organization of automotive sporting events.
