Helen Stevenson
Makes Comment on
Affairs of State
By GAY PAULEY I
United Press Correspondent j
rew York ,U.R; Helen Ste
venson, who dates one of the na
tion's eligible bachelor-politi-
cians, says
people should
be as interest
ed in affairs
of state as in
affairs of the
heart.
"We'd have
a better de
m o c r a c y if
this were the
Gy Pauley case," said
Miss Stevenson, who recently
switched her interests from air
lines to political lines.
The 28-year-old beauty, a dis
tant cousin of the Democratic
candidate for president, dates
New Jersey's Gov. Robert May
ner. Wedding Rumors Persist
' She said in an interview that
she and the governor are "good
friends." But she refused to say
whether that friendship was
blossoming into a love that could
make her one of the nation's
youngest first ladies in the gov
ernor's mansion.
The rumors persist, however,
that she will wed the 48-year-old
Meyner.
Miss Stevenson has dark, cur
ly hair and a statuesque figure.
"I'm five eight ... a monster,"
she said with a laugh.
A native of New York, she
was educated at Bearley school
and Colorado college, Colorado
Springs, where she majored in
history. After graduation in
1950, she joined the American
Red Cross and spent nearly two
years at the Korean War front.
Two and one-half years ago,
she went to work for Trans
World Airlines as head of their
women's travel service.
Helping Cousin
She said she has been interest
ed in politics since college days.
Nine months ago she took a
leave of absence from the air
line to join the Stevenson forces.
At present she is administrative
assistant in the volunteer divi
sion of the New York headquar
ters for Stevenson.
"The governor had nothing to
do with my decision," she said.
Meyner also is campaigning
actively for Stevenson.
She met Meyner last May
when he was chief speaker at
Oberlin college, Oberlin, O. Her
father, William Stevenson, has
been the college president for 12
years.
"The governor and I have
been good friends since," she
said, "but no further comment."
"We have- little time to see
each other," she added. "Even
to talk by telephone. He's a very
busy man."
