Stevenson, supported by his running mate's rural popularity, makes one of his final bids to day for Democratic support in the Farm Belt. He pledged Thursday night to ask Sen.

Stevenson told about the plan later at a rally of nearly 7,000 persons in the state armory at Springfield. "The farmers of America know about his concern and sympathy," Stevenson said of Kefauver. "They have every rea son for confidence in Estes Kef auver's good sense and good judgment, too." After the rally in the state capital where Stevenson served four years as Governor, he flew here for the night. He scheduled a speech here today, and then planned to head for California, with a stop at Albuquerque, N.M., for an airport talk on the way. Stevenson's Springfield speech, climaxing a daylong farm con ference by Midwest Democratic leaders, contained the strongest language he has used yet in at tacking GOP farm policies. He accused President Eisen hower of reneging on 1952 cam paign promises to work for "full parity" and for some means of protecting prices of perishables like livestock. "The Eisenhower record of broken promises to the farmer is a record of callous political perfidy," Stevenson charged. Lack of Girls Lauded By Man for Long Life Belmont, Mass. U.R) Charles W.

Savard said the committee will hold monthly meetings dur ing the next year during which time a program will be devlop ed to educate employers to the advantage of employing handi capped persons who are fully capable of perfoiming particular jobs.

He will be able to get election returns eas ily from the press association wire installed permanently in the White House. And he'll have the big White House switchboard handling the hundreds of tele phone calls that descend on a President election night. Adlai E. Stevenson, the Demo cratic presidential hope, will be in Chicago election night, either at the home of his assistant, Wil- liani Blair, or in downtown of fices. WJierever he is. there will be some agents of the United States Secret Service nearby. These agents will remain out of sight and out of touch with the Stevenson party. If he loses, they'll quietly return to their regular pursuits. If he wins, the instant this fact becomes defin ite, Stevenson will find that he has some new friends who stay at his side. In 1952, when it became ines capable that Mr. . Eisenhower was the victor, two White House trained agents seemed to come out of the woodwork of the Com modore hotel in New York. They took their places quite unobtrus ively, but only a few feet away. Thus the President-elect became the 24-hour-a-day charge of the Secret Service. Nothing is quite as doleful as the headquarters of a presiden tial loser late election night. It was after midnight in 1948 at the Roosevelt hotel in New York when it became increasingly evi dent by the hour that President Harry S. Truman had done the unexpected and defeated Thomas E. Dewey. The Dewey headquarters had been primed with champagne and free cigars in the Roosevelt ballroom, just waiting for Mr. Truman's concession.
