EIOHT MEDTORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday. Juae 28. 19SS Left-Wing Liberals Will Gain Most From Harriman's Warning sft 'fi rr -1 By LYLE C. WILSON Washington U.B The left- wing Liberal party stands to gain the most from Gov. Aver ell Harriman's warning to Democrats that they must hold such th.es as New York to elect a Presi dent this year. That was H a r r i man's i.. i. c wiuoa cnaiienge ut Southern Democrat who take a dim view of his presidential candidacy. He made it at the At lantic City governor's confer ence. The liberals are a splinter group in New York state con fined largely to New York' City. They can deliver well upwards of 260,000 votes of the 5.000.000 or more which New Yorkers generally cast. It isn"t very many, but it is enough. In the present state of New York politics, the Demo crats need the Liberals to lick the Republicans. It is a tail-wags-the-dog situation, but no less real because of that. For ex ample, take the 1954 returns which elected Harriman gover nor of New York and put him on the White House trail. Harriman had a pluralty of a scant 11.125 votes in a total poll of 5,161,000. Of the total Harri man vote, 264,093 were cast by Liberals who also had nominat ed him for governor. Harriman would have lost by more than 250.000 votes without the lib eral endorsement and Sen. Irv ing M. Ives would be today the Republican governor of New York. FamedOregonWoman Pilot Dies in Texas Corpus Christl (U.B Edith Foltz Stearns, the first woman in the Northwest to receive a commercial pilots' license and one of Oregon's most famous wo men fliers died here yesterday, following a short illness. Mrs. Stearns had been serv ing as a link trainer Instructor for the Navy here until she was taken ill. She wsx the fifth woman in the nation to obtain a commer cial pilot'i license and the first woman to fly airliners commer cially. , During World War II she served with the Air Transport Auxiliary for 42 months in Eng land, ferrying unarmed bombers from factories to bases. She was winner of national air races in 1929. 1930. 1931 and 1932 and had logged more than 5000 hours in the air. The Democratic party in New York state under such circum stances is in many ways the cap tive of a small, left-wing splin ter party which has the balance of power. The Democratic party in New York state must shape its policies very much to meet Liberal party standards or lose Liberal support. That goes, too, for Harriman as candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination. The Liberal party, therefore, looms mighty big in the Democratic picture. Its ideas may have considerable effect on the Democratic platform. -" This would be much less than the situation if New York stood alone in that relationship be tween the Democratic party and left-wing elements. It is not alone, however. Way back in the Roosevelt administration there was a legal merger in Minnesota of the comparatively radical Farmer Labor party with the Democratic party. There is no mere Democratic party in Min nesota now. nor has there been for some years. Mr. Rosevelt's strategy shifted Minnesota from its Republican moorings, apparently for keeps. There was the beginning this week of something .similar in North Dakota. There the Non partisan League abandoned its old Republican ties and threw in with the Democrats. Minnesota and North Dakota will be standing with New York at the Democratic national con vention pressing for the kind of platform which conservative Southerners do not want but upon which northern Democrats and their left-wing allies will insist. Those three are the only states in which the Democratic alliance with well-organized left wing elements is so plainly in view. In Michigan, however, the alliance is no less perfect be tween the Democratic party as led by Gov. G. Mennen (Soapy) Williams and Walter Reuther's CIO Men and Women. Reuther's principal political objective appears to be a na tional left-wing party supported by farmers and laborers. His al liance with the Democrats in Michigan is already that in many ways, and it is a state-wide powerhouse. These states are not alone, but they are notable among the northern Democratic alliances with the left. All of this raises disturbing questions for Southern Demo crats who, politically speaking, don't want to go so far so fast. State GOP Treasurer Won't Be Candidate Portland OJ.R) Henry Buehner, Republican State Cen tral Committee treasurer, said today he would not be a candi date for reelection when the committee holds its organiza tional meeting here July 14. - Buehner said the press of per sonal business and other politi cal activities made it seem advis able for him not to seek reelec tion. Walter Evans Jr., a pre cinct committeeman, announced he would be a candidate for the position. Other officers will be candi dates to succeed themselves. They include Wendell Wyatt, As toria, chairman; Mrs. Margaret von Lubken, Portland, vice chairman, and Mrs. Frederic W. Young, secretary. The Special Summer Stock Reduction PDAN All!
