Aged Pension Issue In Campaign Between Stevenson, Kefauver Washington U.R The old age pension issue crowded into the Kefauver-Stevenson cam paien today as a factor which may affect the outcome of their presidential primary contest in both Florida and California. Adlai E. Stevenson and Sen. Estes Kefauver, contenders for the Democratic nomination, were both in Florida iri the home stretch of their campaigns be fore the primary next Tuesday. Florida , Democrats will elect pledged delegates with 28 votes t the Democratic national con vention. The California primary, involving 68 convention votes, comes a week .later and ends the series of presidential primaries involving these two candidates. Both states are havens for el derly citizens. In both the old age pension issue carries more weight than in mm" states. Supporters Cry 'Foul' Kefauver and his Florida backers have attacked Steven son this week for his record on old age assistance while gover nor of Illinois. Stevenson sup porters have cried "foul" and ac cused the Kefauver camp of dis torting Stevenson's record with false statements and half-truths.

LIUIIIGER & SOUS MEDFORD, OREGON - PHONE 2-5336 or 2-5897 day, Stevenson said that Kefau ver "knows very well" that he, Stevenson, vetoed an old age pension bill while governor of Illinois only because "the Repub lican legislature refused to make the payments it authorized." In another attack on Steven son Thursday, Kefauver charged his rival with being "strangely silent" on the threat small busi ness faces from big business. He then said that Stevenson, as titular head of the Democratic Party, placed the party in a "dubious" . position last year by representing the Radio Corp. of America as an attorney in an anti-trust action. "Since Mrl Stevenson has placed himself and the party in a dubious position," Kefauver said, "I would have expected him to have clarified his opinion and his purposes in the matter of anti-trust laws and their en forcement. His silence has been one of the curious facts of this campaign." Gets Group Endorsement In California earlier this month, Kefauver was endorsed by the California Institute of So cial Welfare, an organization of elderly citizens.. Kefauver forces gleefully cheered that endorsement as a factor which could mean the dif ference between victory and de feat. And one veteran neutral ob server of California politics said the primary result could hinge on the turnout of the old age pension group. In Florida Thursday, Kefauver also referred to the fact that Stevenson has received support from the state's congressional delegation. He said "ganging up" on him was no new experience. It was understood that Sen. George Smathers (D-Fla.), who has taken no part in the Florida campaign, may give Stevenson a left-handed endorsement before the primary.
