By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Correspondent
Democratic Convention Head
quarters, Chicago (U.R) The
Democratic national convention
which is a
week away,
sizes up today
like this: Ad
lai E. Steven
son of Illinois
has the most
d e 1 egates, al
most endiigh
for a first bal

tion. Gov. Av-
Lyu C Wilson
erell Harriman, of New York,
has the hottest issues, perhaps
hot enough to stop Stevenson.
Former President Harry S.
Truman will become the indi
vidual with the most influence
here if the Stevenson bandwagon
fails to roll as expected.
Democratic National Chairman
Paul M. Butler opened conven
tion headquarters today, scarce
ly concealing his enthusiasm for:
1. Stevenson's nomination for
president.
2. Adoption of a moderate
harmony platform which will
satisfy right and left wing Demo
crats on the issue of race rela
tions.

Kennedy Is
For Vice Presidency
In Democratic Party
Washington Massachusetts,
which has not furnished a can
didate for national office since
Calvin Coolidge ran in 1924,
has high hopes of landing Sen.
John F. Kennedy in the second
spot on this year's Democratic
ticket.
If he makes it, Kennedy will
be the first Catholic since Al
fred E. Smith to win a place on
the Presidential ticket.
Private polls have convinced
some influential Democratic
leaders a Catholic's candidacy in
1956 would produce very litUe
of the bitterness stirred by
Smith's unsuccessful 1928 bid
for the Presidency.
Improve Chances
Moreover, the polls contend
a Catholic on the ticket would
improve Democratic chances of
carrying such vote-heavy in
dustrial states as Ohio, Pennsyl
vania, Illinois and New York, aU
won by President Eisenhower in
1952.
Thus the speculation has turn
ed to Kennedy, New York City
Mayor Robert F. Wagner and
Sen. Mike Mansfield (Mont.) as
possible Vice Presidential choic
es. To slatemakers canvassing
this field, the boyish-looking
39-year-old Kennedy merits
special attention. He is a decor
ated World War II veteran with
demonstrated immunity to the
Eisenhower political magic
In 1952 the President won
Massachusetts by 203,000 votes
and a Republican governor was
elected. But Kennedy gave Mr.
Eisenhower's number one sup
porter, then Sen. Henry Cabot
Lodge, a 69,000-vote drubbing
in the Senate contest. "
Thanks to his best- selling
book, "Profiles in Courage,"
and frequent television appear
ances, Kennedy is something of
a national celebrity. He has a
beautiful young wife, a disting
uished father, and six brothers
and sisters, all experienced ; at
pumping hands or pouring tea
for the Democratic cause.
Unannounced Bid
His open but unannounced bid
for the nomination has drawn
thu backing of two New Eng
land governors, Abraham-Ribi-
coff of Connecticut and Dennis
J. Roberts of Rhode Island, and
such Senatorial colleagues as
George A. Smathers (Fla.) and
Albert A. Gore (Tenn.), also
mentioned as a possible Vice
Presidential nominee. e
A supporter of Adlai E. Stev
enson for the Presidency, Ken
nedy could balance a ticket
headed by Stevenson or any one
of the two border state possi
bilities. Sen. Stuart Symington
(Mo.) or Gov. A. B. (Happy)
Chandler (Ky.).
The son of Joseph P. Kennedy
a successful businessman who
was United States ambassador
in London before World War
n, the Senator came to his pres
ent prominence by way of Har
vard, the Navy and three terms
in the House.
Congressional Career
In his Congressional careen,
Kennedy has given his name to
no single major piece of legis
lation. But he has managed to
take some notably independent
stands without incurring a rep
utation as a maverick or the dis
like, of party leaders.
In 1947, for instance, Ken
nedy was the only Democrat
in Massachusetts' Congressional
delegation who refused to sign
a petition asking executive
clemency for ex-Rep. James M.
Curley (D.-Mass.) then in prison
for mail fraud.
In 1954. he became the first

Forming for Demo
Starting Next Week
cratic national convention, more
a disciple of Mr. Truman than
of FDR. Stevenson stands for
moderation. Sen. Estes Kefauver,
of Tennessee, stands aside.
Kefauver packs a double-barrelled
rifle at this party hassle.
He stepped out of the presiden
tial contest with a sturdy en
dorsement of Stevenson. But the
senator has his eye on the vice
presidential spot. That is barrel
No. 1.
Barrel No. 2 is loaded for
Harry S. Truman of Independ
ence, Mo., the man who down
rated Kefauver as a presiden
tial aspirant and the man whom
the senator licked badly back
there in 1952 in the New Hamp
shire's kick-off presidential pri
mary. They've been a-feudin'
ever since.
May Have Upset Strategy
Kefauver's withdrawal last
week and the shunt of his dele
gates toward Stevenson may
have confounded the strategy
Mr. Truman apparenUy is con
sidering. That is to bring about
a convention deadlock to stop
Stevenson and, thereafter win
the favored son and uncom
mitted delegations to the nom
ination of Harriman for presi
dent of the United States.
The icy word from Kefauver
headquarters after the senator
quit was this:
"Truman will have a .... of
Prospect
history to support the St. Law
rence Seaway bill. That same
year, he conspicuously avoided
campaigning for Democratic
senatorial candidate Foster Fur-
colo. Furcolo's defeat by Sen.
Leverett Saltonstall (R.) was at
tributed by many o Kennedy's
hands-off attitude.
Kennedy's gamble paid off in
control of the state organization
last spring when his candidate
for state Democratic chairman,
John M. Lynch, defeated in
cumbent William H. Burke Jr.,
backed by House Majority lead
er John W. McCormack (D.-
Mass.).
Along With Leadership
Kennedy has gone along with
the Democratic leadership on
taxes, immigration, welfare pro
grams and labor legislation. This
year he voted for government
development of the Niagara and
Hell's Canyon power sites but
against the Upper Colorado rec
lamation project.
Kennedy voted against the na
tural gas bill and against return
of off-shore oil lands to the
states. He has endorsed the Su
preme court desegregation deci
sion,- says gradual enforcement
of the ruling should be left to
the courts.
He has backed foreign aid
programs and generally favors
a higher level of defense spend
ing than the Eisenhower admin
istration has proposed.
Congressional Quarterly's fig
ures for . the. past three years
show Kennedy supported the
Democratic position on about
two-thirds of the record votes in
which Republican and Demo
cratic majorities took opposite
sides just about average- for a
uemocrauc senator.- - -
Kennedy's most notable devia
tion is in the field of farm nol.
icy. He has consistently voted
for the GOP administration's
flexible farm price support Dlan
and against the rigid, 90 per cent
props backed by .most Demo
crats.
He was the only Senate Dem
ocrat who voted for the Presi
dent s highway program in 1955.
Previously he had joined his
party's minority to vote against
a public preference ' clause in
atomic energy contracts and for
a cut m TV A funds.
Appraising Chances
In appraising his own chances
of nomination, Kennedy July 1
said his religion, his youth, -the
section of the country he repre
sents and. his stand on price sup
ports all might be considered
drawbacks,
i He was out of action for eight
months in 1954-55 following sur
gery for a wartime back injury
but the condition is now report
ed to be cured. The' hospitaliza
tion could become a factor In a
campaign where health seems
certain to be a major issue.
Democrats who favor the vice
presidential bids of other hope
ful say there are too many risks
in nominating Kennedy. But
those who support the person
able young senator like to quote
these lines from "Profiles j
Courage" in Kennedy's behalf:
' "It would be much easier if
we could all continue to think
in traditional political patterns.
. . . But today this nation cannot
tolerate the luxury of such lazy
political habits. Only strength
and progress and peaceful
change that come from inde
pendent judgment and individ
ual ideas . . . can enable us to
surpass that foreign ideology
that fears free thought more
than It fears hydrogen bombs.'

a time being a king-maker now."
Kefauvers handlers figured
Kefauver's withdrawal had bag
ged the nomination for Steven
son and, maybe, that a grateful
presidential nominee might give
their man a nod for second place.
That sounds fairly reasonable.
It would be sour milk for Mr.
Truman's breakfast cereal be
cause, if he doesn't like Kefau
ver, he doesn't like Stevenson
much, either. As a presidential
candidate, that is. Mr. Truman
said as much in his memoirs
recently published.
They wouldn t be fishing or
poker buddies, either, Steven
son and Mr. Truman, because
after Stevenson was nominated
four years ago he seemed to
consider Mr. Truman a campaign
liability, which, maybe, he was.

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
As this is written, a court
martial board has just sentenced
Sergeant Matthew McKeon to
be discharged from the Marine
Corps, reduced in rank to pri
vate and confined at hard labor
for nine months.
He had previously been found
guilty of negligent homicide in
the drowning of six recruits in
night march under his com
mand and of drinking on duty.
HPHE Marine Corps has rigid
- training standards. In time
of peace, these standards seem
rugged to the point of cruelty.
But in TIME OF WAR men who
have graduated from this rough
and tough school STAY ALIVE
through experiences that men
less rigidly trained could not
have survived.
It pays off in lives saved and
victories won.
WHAT of Sergeant McKeon?
' " Let's Tint it this wav?
To be an officer in an organi
zation such as the Marine Corps
involves GREAT responsibility.
Men who hold the lives of other
men in their hands must be ALL
MAN. Otherwise they can not
measure up to the heavy re
sponsibilities that rest upon
their shoulders.
Reading carefully all the testi
mony-in this long drawn out
court martial trial that has stir
red the American people so
deeply, it has seemed to me
that Sergeant McKeon did not
measure up fully to the high
standards that must be required
of an officer in the U. S. Marine
Corps.
OPEAKING of men, what of
" Secretary of State Dulles ana
his Friday night speech that was
regarded as so important that
it was broadcast and rebroad-
cast by radio and television aU
over our country?
In his handling so far of our
part in the Suez canal crisis that
was precipitated by Nasser's
sudden and rather peevish seiz
ure of fhe great international
waterway that links the Medi
terranean and the Red seas, did
he measure up to the great re
sponsibilities that rest upon the
shoulders of the foreign minis
ter of the United States in crises
such as .this?
TT SEEMS to me he did.
When he entered the situa
tion, Britain was calling up lim
ited' numbers of her reserves.
She was putting her ships in
fighting trim. She was assemb
ling troops and military equip
ment at her Mediterranean
bases, from which they could
be rushed quickly to the Suez
area. France was making mili
tary gestures.
The situation was such that
shooting could have started at
any moment. Anyone who has
read ,- history even sketchily
k..oWs that once shooting starts
it is frightfully difficult to get
it stopped.
IN HIS Friday night speech,
Secretary Dulles told us that
he doesn't believe armed force
will be necessary to resolve the
Suez crisis.
With President Eisenhower
sitting by during the broadcast,
Dulles said the U. S. has given
no commitments to use military
forces. I
He added that any plan for i
international operation of the
waterway should protect the
legitimate interests of Egypt and
assure her a fair income from
the use of the canaL
These statements seem to in
dicate that calm reasoning, in
stead of hot anger, is presently
dominating the handling of the
Suez crisis. At least, it appears
that an effort will be made to
settle the Suez quarrel at an in
ternational conference rather
than by immediate shooting.
rpHAT, in a world where no
one knows when a little war
will grow into a big war, is
something. If the head of our de
partment of state had a hand in
bringing this situation about, he
deserves .credit.
AlCff f er Of FaCt
By STEWART ALSOP
THE MYSTERIOUS VOTER
Moline, 111. The American
voter is a remarkably hospitable
and unsuspicious fellow, who is
very likely to
ask the inquisi
t i v e stranger
right, into his
living room.
But he is also
a m y s terious
fellow.
Is it possible
to tell, from
the way people
talk to a
stranger, how they really feel
about politics and how they are
going to vote? And why do they
feel as they do? What is it that
determines their, reactions to
issues, their mental image ot a
candidate?
These questions are prompted
by a just-completed pulse-feel
ing expedition with the able
public opinion expert, "Louis
Harris, through two . hard-hit
Iowa farm counties, ending up
in this Illinois industrial town.
Throughout the expedition, the
connection between politics and
the pocketbook has been evident.
Many farmers are in real
trouble. Because they are in
trouble, they are not buying the
agricultural machinery which is
Moline s chief product, and there
is serious unemployment here
so serious that, on the main side
streets of Moline, talking to men
with worried faces, you some
times get a sudden, acrid whiff
of evil days gone by.
TOTH among the worried farm-
pre ann th ' wnrriprf ltv
workers, there has been a real
erosion of President Eisenhow
er's popularity. But the pocket-
book Is clearly not the main
reason why people feel as they
do, not by a long chalk. Take,
for example, the richest farmer
we interviewed.
He owns 860 fertile acres, and
he has made enough money to
tear down the old farm house
and build a hideous but comfort
able suburban - type "ranch
house." He is still, he said, do
ing very well by himself. By
all the rules, he should be the
solidest of Republicans. But he
is not. He sat with his bare
feet on an overstuffed hassock,
and said that he had voted for
Eisenhower in 1952, but was go
ing to vote Democratic this time.
The President was a sick man,
he said, and he didn't understand
farm problems.
Down the road a spell there
was a ragged tenant farmer on
eighty acres, who ascribed all
his ' numerous troubles to the
unions, and was a hard core, un
shakable Republican. You find
people who consciously intend
to vote against what they con
sider their own best economic
interests. There was the brawny
young man in the bean field,
who had voted for Stevenson in
1952, but said he would vote for
Eisenhower this year. "Eisen
hower has taken the farmer into
consideration hardly at all, but
he's kept the 'world at peace,
and that's the big thing."
TTTOST people are self-conscious
to the point of shyness about
their lack of political informa
tion. Again and again you hear
the same phrase "Weli, I don't
know too much about politics"
and it is often an understate
ment. Yet almost everyone
seems to have a definite mental
image of the leading candidates
(except for Averill Harriman,
who is almost totally unknown
in these parts).
The image of Eisenhower as a
good, kind, and strong man is
dimmer on the farms than else
where', and dim to the vanishing
point on the workers' streets in
Moline. But it is still there, and
remains the Republicans' great
central asset.
The image of Richard Nixon
is strange. There was one bitter,
young-old man on the back stoop
of a handsome brick house, who
is a sort of unconscious Marx
ist. He had no use for Eisen
hower, Stevenson, or either of
the parties "They are run for
the capitalists, not for us litUe
people." But, he allowed, he
"thought a lot of that Nixon."

But he was an exception. Mora
typical was an elderly man who
remarked oddly, "Nixon's a very
good man, but I just don't car
for him." Yet we found no one
who intended to vote against Ei
senhower simply because he dis
liked Nixon.
CASTES KEFAUVER has made
a remarkably strong impres
sion on the Iowa farmer, as an
honest man who understands the
farmers' problems. But the most ,
striking phenomenon is the men
tal Image of Adlai Stevenson
held on the farms (but not here
in Moline, where Stevenson is
much admired). On the farms,
Stevenson is regarded as the
classic city slicker.
Again and again, farmers talk
with a sneer of Stevenson's "wit
ticisms." But one sensed that th
Stevensonian jokes were only a
symbol of something else, some
thing about the man they did
not understand, something that
made them uncomfortable. What
ever the something is, Steven
son must at all cost overcome it,
if he is to have a ghost of a
chance of exploiting the politi
cal opportunity which unques
tionably exists in the farm belt
Such, at least, are some of
the impressions which two long
days where the taU corn grows
have left with this reporter. Per
haps they are wrong. But one
impression is surely right that
the American voters are nice,
outspoken people, but very hard
indeed to figure out.

Wild Man Tamed
GEO. N. TAYLOR
The wild man of Gadara made
the night hideous as he shrieked
and yelled among the empty
tombs up above
the city. Like
so many strings,
he broke the
chains with
which they
bound him. And
what was his
strength? He
was indwelt by
demons and
demons ever
sought a human
body as a dwelling place. Christ
cast out these demons and when
the disciples returned, they
found the man sane and in his
right mind and sitting at Jesus
feet.
Now the man would travel
on with Jesus. But the Lord
told him to go and tell the home
folks and all that district what
God had done for him. At his .
word the people were dumb
founded. With Christ dying for
your, sins and scene changes.
Now Christ is your Lord and
Saviour and belief In Him gives
you eternal life as well as power
to live to the glory of God.
