Democrat Presidential Turn Attention To Ca Sacramento, Calif. U.R) Adlal E. Stevenson and Sen. Estes Kefauver turned to Calif ornia today for their final and most Important presidential pri mary test. Without even waiting to see how the vote went in today's Florida primary, the Tennessee senator and the ex-governor of Illinois left by planes for Calif ornia. Stevenson arrived in Los An geles Monday night to start a seven-day whirlwind tour of the state. Kefauver, due in Los An geles late today, also plans to stump the state during the next week. Off To Fait Start Stevenson got off to a fast start, joining Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt in a Los Angeles news conference where they agreed that the nation's greatest needs 'are a stronger foreign policy and greater emphasis on civil rjghts. Stevenson said "we have eco nomic segregation" outside the South. He added "These things can only be attained step by step through the process of law." At stake in the California pri mary next Tuesday are 63 big votes at the Democratic nomina ting convention in Chicago. But even more important is the pres tige involved. A decisive defeat for either man in California would virtually eliminate him from the race. And there will be no splitting of convention votes in California. The winner takes all. Both Have Support Both men have something go ing for them in the election. Stevenson has the backing of almost every party leader in the state, including Attorney 'Gen eral Edmund G. Brown, the only Democrat holding a statewide elective office in California. His list of 136 delegates, each of whom would have a half vote at Chicago if the Stevenson slate Hopefuls lifornia wins next Tuesday, is studded with "big wheels" among Cali fornia Democrats. Kefauver, on the other hand, has only two big names on his delegation National Commit teewoman Clara Shirpser and former Gov. Culbert L. Olson. Too Many Robert Morgans Drive Demos Into 'Who's Who' Tizzy Dunn, N.C 01 p-- Demo- .' crats in Harnett county are J finding themselves getting ' ever deeper into a "who's who" dilemma. Identification of two of its leading party members is the problem, f One of the men is Robert B. ; Morgan. The second man is Robert B. ! Morgan. ; One Morgan is the newly ' elected Barnett county judge. The other is the state senator ; from Harnett county. More? Well, both are Lil- lington, N.C, lawyers, both are gradutes of Wake Forest college, both have wives named Alice and they even have sisters named Lucille. To complicate things if possible there is another state senator . . . you guessed it his name is Robert Mor gan. However, there's a little difference here the third named Morgan's middle ini tial is "F" and he is from Cleveland county.
