Humphrey 'Violator' In Active Candidacy For Vice Presidency (Last in ri of profiles of possible Democratic Vic Presidential nominees.) Washington (CQ) Sen. Hu bert H. Humphrey (D-Minn.) who has been breaking the rules ever since he entered politics, has set out to smash one of the oldest traditions of all with his open candidacy for the Vice Presidency. Custom tells the Vice Presi dential hopeful to keep his mouth shut, avoid controversy and pretend complete disinterest in the job he wants. Humphrey broke the rule of silence July 30 when he said he would "work actively" for the nomination. A& for controversy, he's up to his eyebrows in It. It was Humphrey who, in 1949. split the Democratic Con vention wide open with his floor fight for a strong civil rights platform. The convention took Humphrey's advice to "get out of the shadows of states rights" and, as a consequence, a num ber of southerners got out of the Democratic party, taking 39 electoral votes with them. Actira in ADA Further, Humphrey is a founder and active leader of Americans for Democratic Ac tion (ADA) a self-styled inde pendent political organization whose philosophy is regarded as left-wing not only by most Republicans but by many con servative Democrats. Humphrey rejects '"any spirit of defensiveness in the face of continuing smear attacks" against ADA. "Long before a junior Senator from Wisconsin found his way," he says, "we had inflicted great and decisive defeats on the Communists in the United States." Humphrey, 45, came to the political wars after working in his father's South Dakota drug store, studying and teaching sci ence at Louisiana State Univer sity and the University of Minnesota. A losing campaign for mayor of Minneapolis in 1943 con vinced him he would have to build a stronger political organ ization to realize his own ambi tions. He did so the next year by merging the state's Demo cratic party with the Farmer-1 merchant. This has not hurt him Labor party, a throwback to the days of prairie radicalism.' Named Mayor The DFL showed its potency by electing Humphrey maj or of Minneapolis in 1945 and 1947, with a record majority each time. It sent him to the Senate in 1948 after a campaign in which Humphrey denounced incum bent Sen. Joseph H. Ball's (R) support of the Taft-Hartley law. Humphrey won reelection easily in 1954, making his advocacy of 90 per cent farm supports a main campaign issue. Besides his strong farm fol lowing, Humphrey attracts sup port or at least friendly atten tion from some unusual quar ters as a result of his active par ticipation in their causes. For instance, his heaviest mail this session came from members of humane societies and others in terested in kindness to animals because he sponsored a bill call ing for more humane slaughter of cattle. And his interest in protection of the wilderness has endeared him to the nation's con servationists. His background as a pharma cist has led him to become a champion of the Main Street Francis X. Bushrjian On Honeymoon Trip Las Vegas, Nev. (U.R) Fran cis X. Bushman, 73-year-old for mer matinee idol, and his 53-year-old bride honeymooned here today following their mar riags in a brief ceremony Wednesday. The first "great lover" of the silent screen was married for the fourth time in the ceremony taking less than two minutes by District Judge Frank McNamee. It was Mrs. Richardson's third marriage. Bushman and Mrs. Richard son, a former actor's agent, met only three months ago at Pacific Palisades, Calif., where they were neighbors. The newlyweds will return to Southern Cali fornia tomorrow after their two day honeymoon at a resort hotel. in many vote-rich small towns. Anti-Communist An outspoken liberal, Hum phrey has a long record of oppo sition to Communism. As early as 1947, he was battling the Communist for control of the DFL. His victory gave the party's endorsement to Harry S. Truman instead of Henry A. Wallace in the 1948 Presidential race. In the Senate, he investigated Communism in labor unions and sponsored the bill to outlaw the Communist party. Congressional Quarterly's analysis of Humphrey's voting record shows him more "regu lar" than the average Demo cratic Senator. He is, an eager and aggressive advocate of 90 per cent farm price supports, in creased defense spending, broad foreign aid programs, expanded welfare benefits, public power and tax relief for low-income families. He holds seats on three im portant Senate committees: Ag riculture, Foreign Relations and Government Operations. Since 1952, Humphrey has made a deliberate effort to estab lish friendly relationships with the predominantly southern Sen ate leadership. He has worked closely with both Sen. Walter F. George (D-Ga.) and Majority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson (D-Texas). This year, he supported John son's moves to block a bitter end-of-the-session Senate debate on civil rights. Mora Moderate In national politics, too, he has been moving toward a more moderate position. He worked with both New York Gov. Aver ell Harriman and Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.) at the 1952 convention, but this year he is backing Adlai E. Stevenson. In 1955, he helped frame a mild substitute for the "loyalty oath" that threatened to split the 1952 convention. In these and other ways, he has sought to Iron Curtain Travel Program Stepped Up Washington (U.R) The ad ministration has put new steam behind its program of travel and cultural exchanges with the Iron Curtain countries by appointing a special official to supervise the program. He is William S. B. Lacy, for mer U.S. Ambassador to Korea, who was appointed Wednesday. Lacy's title will be special as sistant to Secretary of State John Foster Dulles for East-West cultural exchanges. New problems have arisen in this field over the past year as a result of the Soviet campaign for a stepped-up exchange of vis itors. Lacy will concern himself with exchanges of persons, lit erature and cultural information. YOUR FAMILY WILL ENJOY THE FAMOUS NOODLE THAT WON'T SLIDE OFF THE FORK! ENRICHED! " " FINES? IN QUALITY SINCE make himself acceptable to the section of the party he once antagonized. If the southerners are willing to have Humphrey for Vice President, what will he bring to the ticket? A strong appeal to farmers, to labor, to Immigrant groups, to conservationists, to liberals and to small business men, his backers say. Also, they say, the hardest hitting oratory since Mr. Tru man set the whistle-stops ablaze in 1948. Lyndon Johnson says Humphrey has "the best coordi nated mind arid tongue in the Senate." Republicans who have en dured his tireless tirades against the Administration's domestic and foreign policy, delivered at breakneck speed in a bullfrog voice, respect Humphrey's ora tory almost as much as they dis like his views.
