Symington-for-Presidenf Boom Being Heard Distinctly in Democratic Party
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Correspondent
Washington The Sym-lngton-for-president
boom is be
ginning to make enough noise
to be heard distinctly through
out the Democratic party.
Stuart Symington is the 53-yrar-old
junior senator from
Missouri, born in Massachusetts,
reared mostly in Maryland and
a resident of the state he repre
sents in Congress for fewer than
the past dozen years.
He's completing the fourth
year of his first Senate term, a
fact which makes more remark
able the prominent position
Symington holds in 1956 Demo
cratic presidential politics. The
senator has been getting some
of what are known as the politi
cal breaks.
His best piece of luck so far
was Truman administration serv
ice as assistnnt secretary of war
for air and, later, as first secre
tary of the separate Air Force.
Symington is as well grounded
as any civilian on national de
fense in general and air defense
in particular. He's chairman of
a Senate subcommittee which
has been investigating air de
fense policies to the embarrass
ment jf the Eisenhower admin
istration. That investigation will con
tinue right up to national con
vention time, making campaign
ammunition for whomever the
Democrats do nominate. It is
Symington's good luck again
that the Democratic party is
planning to make Eisenhower
defense policies a major issue
in the 1956 presidential cam
paign. The Senate Appropria
tions Committee put some fire
into that dispute Monday by
voting to hike President Eisen
hower's air defense spending by
a fat $1,160,000,000. ,
Most and perhaps all of Sym
ington's congressional colleagues
probably would agree that the
Senator from Missouri would be
in the best position of any likely
Democratic nominee to chal
lenge President Eisenhower pub
licly on national defense.
Mr. Eisenhower was a glam
orous, victorious general. Sym
ington, however, was a top de
fense administrative official. The
spot from which Symington
viewed rational defense had
some advantages over the view
point of a man in uniform.
Symington served briefly as
chairman of the National Se-
Salem Youth Rescued From Fall Info Creek
Salem (U.R) A Salem youth
was in a hospital here today
after being rescued from Thomas
creek where he fell Sunday
The youth, Will Bateson, was
fishing with three other North
Salem high school graduates
when he tried to prevent one
of them from falling and tum
bled into the creek himself.
His companions had to float
Bateson about a half mile down
stream on a log before they
found a spot where the bank
was not too steep to remove
him, from the water.
curity Resources Board and was
put in charge of the Recon
struction Finance Corporation
after revelation of questionable
practices there compelled Presi
dent Truman to order a clean
up. The senator was a success
ful industrialist before coming
to Washington.
This background would not
project Symington far into the
1956 presidential situation but
for some unrelated situations.
With the presidential primaries
out of the way, Adlai E. Steven
son of Illinois leads the Demo
cratic pack. Sen. Estes Kefauver,
of Tennessee, who successfully
challenged Stevenson, was bad
ly mauled in the primary stretch,
especially in California. A good
many practical politicians now
count Kefauver as a possible
vice presidential nominee, no
more than that.
Gov. Averell Harriman, of
New York, now is rated the
No. 2 contender for the Demo
cratic presidential nomination.
Powerful forces, including
Mr. Truman, apparently are at
work to block Stevenson's nom
ination. Mr. Truman is counted
among the Harriman master
strategists. Powerful forces conserva
tive Southerners are at work to
itop Harriman. The governor is
a so-called immoderate Demo
crat, a 100 per cent Truman
fair dealer, ,
If Stevenson and Harriman
both can be stopped for a series
of convention ballots, the talk
among practical politicians is
that Symington would be the
logical compromise choice. That
is a big if, but it seems to get
smaller day by day.
