Democratic Convention Delegates
Scramble for Adlai's Bandwagon
Washington U.R) Demo
cratic National Convention dele
gates scrambled today to get
board Adlal E. Stevenson s
bandwagon.
The bandwagon was given a
big push by Sen. Estes Kefauver
of Tennessee, who announced
his own withdrawal from the
race for the Democratic presi
dential nomination and threw
his support to Stevenson.
Kefauver was standing In
front of an "exit" sign when he
made his announcement at a
news conference Tuesday. He
said he acted in the interest of
party unity and because he
would not be a party to throw
ing the national convention into
a deadlock, which he said was
the only means of stopping a
Stevenson nomination.
However, Gov. Averell Harri
man of New York, who already
had displaced Kefauver as Stev
enson's major challenger, said
he would keep on fighting. He
predicted he will get a majority
of the former Kefauver dele
gates. Meaning of the Mot
Kefauver s decision meant
that:
Stevenson, on the verge of
victory 12 days before the na
tional convention opens at Chi
cago, could win on the first
ballot.
As of now, the Democratic
contest is a two-man race be
tween Stevenson and Harriman.
A deadlock is most unlikely un
less an alliance is formed by fa
vorite son candidates firmly op
posed to both of the chief con
tenders or unless the South de
serts Stevenson.
Former President Truman,
who is publicly neutral but is
regarded as pro-Harriman, is on
the spot if he wants to try to
stop the nomination of Steven
son, whom he helped to nomin
ate four years ago.
Stevenson's only major
problem now appears to be
avoiding entanglement in a
party platform fight which
would drive his Southern sup
port into a neutral corner. He
now can count on most of the
Southern delegates.
At Kansas City, Mo., Mr. Tru
man had a noncomital comment
on Kefauver s decision. He said
only that the Tennesseean must
have felt that he had no chance
of winning.
VP 'Deal' Denied
Both Kefauver and Steven
son denied that Tuesday's an
nouncement was the. result of a
deal to give the Tennessee sen
ator second place on the ticket
with Stevenson.
Kefauver's morale appeared
much higher Mian it did when he
tasted defeat in the 1952 contest
for the nomination. In an appar
ent slap at Harriman, he refer
red to Stevenson as the only
other candidate willing to make
a fight in the presidential pri
maries. He said he thinks Stevenson
has a "good chance" to win in
November and that the 1952
nominee is a "much more for
midable campaigner" than four
years ago or even last winter.
Stevenson moved within arm's
reach of the nomination after a
terrific comeback fight. He was
counted almost out after taking
an unexpected pasting from Ke
fauver in the Minnesota primary
March 20. But thereafter he
knocked off Kefauver in a series
of primaries, climaxed by the
big one in California two months
ago.

Mansfield Warns
On Oil Supply
To West Europe
Washington (U.R) Sen.
Mike Mansfield said today the
United States should prepare to
keep Western Europe supplied
with oil in the event Egypt clos
es the Suez Canal.
The Montana Democrat,
member of the Senate Foreign
Relations committee, urged
calm approach to the canal prob
lem. But he said oil is vital for
maintaining the economy of
Western Europe "And if West
ern Europe slumps, the whole
Western Alliance becomes
cardboard compartment."
Most From Middle East
He said 90 per cent of West
ern Europe's oil comes from the
Middle East, most of it through
the Suez Canal. Another means
of getting that oil the pipe
line which runs across Jordan to
the Mediterranean might also
be shut down if Egypt closed
the canal, he said.
Mansfield said the United
Stales should be prepared to ship
oil to Western Europe from this
country and from Venezuela if
Egypt shuts down the canal. He
said it, should also send tankers
for Middle Eastern oil by the
long Toute around the southern
tip ol Africa.
Mansfield said the West should
take these steps to bypass the
canal rather than trying to keep
it open by force.
"The Western powers should
bring the dispute before the In
ternational Court of Justice be
cause of the international status
of the canal zone and the lease
granted to the Suez Canal com
pany until 1668, Mansfield
added.
Chicago Parental
Apathy Attacked
Chicago U.R) Health au
thorities today carried on a "nip
and tuck battle" to protect the
city's children with Salk polio
vaccine before Chicago's record
outbreak reaches its expected
peak in two weeks.
Dr. Herman N. Bundesen,
president of the city Board of
Health, meanwhile lashed out at
parents he said were showing a
"lack of cooperation and lacka
daisical attitude" toward Chi
cago's all-out vaccination drive.
"Every day too many children
are still continuing to get polio
needlessly because too many
parents have failed to do all
that can be done when it should
be done," he charged.
Bundeson loosened his blast
as 27 new cases during the 24
hours ending midnight Monday
were reported. This boosted" the
city's 1956 total to 449 cases and
j 11 deaths. It was the worst out
break in the nation this year and
the greatest in Chicago history.
The city has been dispensing
free vaccine to children 19 years
old and younger, and pregnant
women unable to afford buying
the shots from private physic
ians. The inoculations are avail
able at 58 hospitals and clinics
in the Chicago area.
One of the centers was
stormed Tuesday by mothers
fearful that the vaccine would
give out before their children
were inoculated.
'Grudge' Murderer
Captured in Chicago
Chicago U.P.) Police captur
ed "grudge" killer Lawrence
Neumann, slayer of three per
sons, crouching in a rear yard
on the West Side early today.
Neumann, 28, gave up with
out a struggle when police
switched spotlights on him.
Neumann's caplure ended a
search which began shortly after
1 a.m. EDT when he was spot
ted in the West Side neighbor
hood by two policemen on spe
cial detail in the case. They had
been scouting the area after
learning Neumann had been seen
frequently in the neighborhood
since the June 8 slaying.
Neumann was wanted for the
Miracle Bar murders of Max Ep
stein, 54, whose brother owned
the jazz spot: dice girl Lois M.
Gates, 28. and news vender John
Keller. 49.
Mickey Epstein, owner of the
lounge, had identified Neumann
as the killer.
Boise, Ida. OJ.R) A lire in
the Wildhorse Creek area of
Hells Canyon has spread to 100
acres and was out of control at
noon today, the bureau of land
management fire dispatcher here
said.
DAMAGE SURVEYED Shorn bow of the Swedish liner
is a mass of twisted steel, wood and furnishings as she
rests in drydock at the shipbuilding division of Bethle
hem Steel Co. in Brooklyn for a surviy of damage and
repairs. The bow, reinforced for icebreaking, was crushed
in collision which sent the Italian liner Andrea Doria to
the bottom.
Union Army Survivor In 'Slight Response'
Duluth, Minn. (U.R) Albert
Woolson, 109, sole survivor of
the Civil War Union Army, was
reported early today to have
"opened his eyes" and showed
"slight response" to attention.
But attendants at St. Luke's
hospital here, where Woolson
has been in a coma since Satur
day, said he was still listed as
in critical condition.
The drummer boy has been
close to death a number of times.
but he has astounded his doc
tors with his will to live. Wool
son's doctor, Charles Bagley,
said the old soldier's pulse
strength is "absolutely astounding."
Los Angeles (U.R) Officials
of the Holy Family Adoption
Service found a basketful of
orphans on their doorstep Tues
day. The basket contained four
mewing kittens. .
Suburban Detroit
Official Admits
Graft Payoffs
Detroit (U.R) A confessed
grafter's charges that gamblers
paid certain suburban Detroit
city officials more than $100,000
in protection money today
threatened to lead to a state in
vestigation of local politics
throughout Wayne county.
The county's 18-member Cir
cuit Court was expected to meet
today to act on the state's re
quest for a grand jury probe of
alleged crime, corruption and
bribery in Ecorse, Mich., a down
river Detroit suburb.
The long bubbling Ecorse poli
tical situation came to a head
Tuesday night when William H.
Montry, the city's former police
and fire commissioner, told a se
cret press conference he worked
two years as a grafter and payoff
man for a gambling combine in
Ecorse.
Montry was taken into protec
tive custody at his own request
on the orders of state attorney
general Thomas M. Kavanagh.
Kavanagh has joined Wayne
County Prosecutor Gerald K.
O'Brien iir a move to impanel a
grand jury to investigate both
Ecorse politics and politics
throughout the county.
Kavanagh ordered Montry
him: "I'd be a dead man if any
of those people get to me."
Taken To Secret Hideout
Kavanaugh ordered Montry
placed under state police protec
tion and taken to a secret hide
out. At the press conference, Mon
try told newsmen he knew gam
bling had been going on in
Ecorse for more than two years.
He said he was paid $200 a
month for his part in the con
spiracy "and passed an addi
tional $6,000 along to others in
the deal."
He refused to tell where the
money came from but said there
were about 25 persons involved
in the conspiracy, all of whom
knew each other.
Montry said gambling was the
only thing protected in Ecorse
and consisted mainly of num
bers, dice and the barbut game,
although open gambling was.
not permitted.
ility Companies Show Value Increase
Salem (U.R) The true
cash value of utility companies
in Oregon showed an 11 per
cent increase over 1955, the
State Tax commission reported
today.
Chairman Samuel B. Stewart
said major increases were noted
in air transportation companies,
up 24 per cent, and gas com
panies, up 22 per cent over the
previous year. He said slight de
clines were recorded for toll
bridge companies, express com
panies and some smaller util
ities. Stewart noted that while true
cash values of state-assessed ut
ility companies continued to
mount, assessed values showed
an overall decline of 8H per
cent. He explained the drop was
brought about through applica
tion of lowered county assigned
ratios in compliance with a state
law requiring that utility com
panies be assessed at the same
level as locally-assessed property.
