Stevenson Gambles Southern Support
By Approving School Segregation End
Democratic PnnvAntinn Moari
quarters, Chicago U.R) Adlai
E. Stevenson gambled his South
ern support today against a
chance to deliver a quick knock
out to Gov. Averell Harriman in
their fight lor the Democratic
presidential nomination. .
Some of the Democratic pros
from the north viewed Steven
son's strategy on civil rights as
part of a grand plan to cut the
ground out from under Harri
man and, at the same time, to
improve his chances for victory
in November.
But there also was a sugges
tion that any such maneuver
might backfire and throw next
week's Democratic national con
vention into a deadlock. A stale
mate would enhance the chances
of a dark horse candidate emerg
ing with the nomination.
Backs Court 'Unequivocally'
Stevenson took his gamble by
advocating a civil rights plat
form plank expressing "unequiv
ocal approval" of the Supreme
Court decision outlawing segre
gated schools.
Southern delegates, 'most of
whom were uncommitted but
pro-Stevenson, reacted With dis
appointment, shock or anger.
They viewed it as an unexpected
switch from his "moderation"
stand.
"The biggest blunder since
'Rum, Romanism and Rebel
lion'," said one Southern moder
ate in a reference to the phrase
which is supposed to have caused
James G. Blaine to lose a presi
dential election to Grover Cleve
land. South Standing Jeopardized

if it did not forfeit much of his
support in the South. From the
South, Stevenson backers were
counting on 214 of the 6861-2
votes needed to win the nomina
tion. Southern delegates already are
talking of swinging their votes
to Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson or
Sen. Stuart Symington, favorite
son candidates from Texas and
Missouri, respectively. , , 4
But some of the Northern
Democrats figured Stevenson
would offset any Southern losses
by Northern gains among fence
sitters who have not yet decided
between him and Harriman. This
viewpoint was heard among
Democrats who thought Steven
son already had -sewed up the
nomination and that his civil
Cotion Crop Seen
Down 8 Per Cent
Washington U.R) The Agri
culture department today esti
mated the 1956 cotton crop at
13.552,000 bales, down 8 per
cent from last year's harvest.
The first cotton production es
timate of the year compares
with 14,721,000 bales last year
and the 10-year average output
of 13.098,000 bales.
Although this year's estimate
is below last year's output, there
is no danger of a cotton shortage
in the United States. There is a
carryover of about 14,600,000
bales, of which the government
owns or has under loan about
10.000,000 bales. The carryover
plus estimated 1956 production
will meet consumption demands,
both domestic and foreign, for
about two years.
The department estimated cot
ton 'yields will average 394
pounds of lint per acre on the
16,527.000 acres estimated to be
harvested. Last year's yields
averaged 416 pounds an acre.
The 10-year average yields were
283 pounds.
The 16.527.000 acres estimat
ed for harvest were based on
the acres in cultivation July 1

rights statement had not altered
the overall outlook.
Negro Vote Appeal '
These same Democrats also
suggested that Stevenson hail
started aiming for the fall cam
paign by appealing for Negro
votes in urban areas of the
North. '
Stevenson's remarks came asi
reports circulated here that for
mer President Truman is just
about ready to accept him as the
nominee. Mr. Truman, who
helped Stevenson win the nomi
nation in 1952, has been con
sidered pro-Harriman this year,
although he has been publicly
neutral.
One of the ex-president's
friends said, however, that Mr.
Truman would not jump into the
Harriman campaign if he felt
that a Stevenson nomination
was a sure thing.
At Independence, Mo., where
he was preparing to leave today
for the convention, Mr. Truman
declined to comment on these
reports.

youngest GOP state executive,
and the first Republican incum
bent in Kansas to be denied re
nomination in 26 years.
Lost Rural Support
Shaw espoused right to work
legislation. Hall vetoed the bill
last year. He lost the small
towns and rural support that en
abled him to lick the GOP or
ganization that had been domi
nant in Kansas in the 1954 pri
