Stevenson Would Ask

Demo Farm Program
Rock Island, 111. iU.R Adlal
E. 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. Estes Kefauver to head
a "task force" to draw up a
Democratic farm program for
"quick" action by Congress if
he is elected President. .
Stevenson and Kefauver talk
ed about the idea Thursday night
at dinner in Springfield, 111. Ste
venson said there are 10 weeks

Plans Are Discussed
Vic Follen of the Marsh and

hospital insurance plans at a
meeting of the Medford chapter
of National Managers association
at the Medford hotel this week.
Follen stated that in about
five to 10 years there will be a
definite change in all medical
policies. He also outlined var
ious types of retirement plans
and profit sharing plans avail
able to employers. He added
that a profit sharing plan is more
satisfactory for employers of
small groups.

The sources said workers in a

The sources said "many" dem

waste no time in rescuing the
farmer.'
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.

Back Stairs: Election Night
By MERRIMAN SMITH
United Press Correspondent
Washington (U.R) Back
stairs at the White House:
President Eisenhower origin
ally gave some thought to spend
ing election night on his farm at
Gettysburg, Pa., but the techni
cal difficulties outweighed an
evening at home.-
Special teletype, telephone
radio and television circuits
would have been necessary in
Gettysburg. And the farm prob
ably would have been the target
of hordes of photographers and
reporters.
There also would be victory
marches if he wins by his fel
low Republicans of Adams coun
ty,
So Mr. Eisenhower will spend
election night in the relative pri
vacy of family and friends be
hind the well-guarded gates df
the White House. If he decides
Jobs for Handicapped
Group Slates Program
Members of the Jackson coun
ty committee on employment of
the physically handicapped last
night voted to carry on year
round program in the county,
according to Col. Arthur M.
Savard, chairman. The year
round program will be designed
to carry out the work meant for
Employ the Handicaped Week,
which usually takes places in
October.
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.
A review of activities by the
committee for Employ the Hand
icapped Week, observed earlier
this month, also occupied a por
tion of the meeting. Plans were
also outlined for presentation
of awards to firms, organizations
and individuals for outstanding
service in furthering the com
mittee's program.

to appear before the nation by
radio or television, all he has to
do is go to the broadcast room
on the ground floor. 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. Sometime
after midnight, a Dewey aide
