o Stassen's Bid for Mayoralty Of Philadelphia Significant By LYLE C. WILSON ' Washington ..- (TPD - Place a ring on your calendar around this date: No& 3, 1959. That could be a big day in presi dential poli tics. On that day Harold E. Stassenwillbe running again. S t a s sen has been running for something or other dur- Lyi c. wusoa mg most of the past 30 . years . since he was elected Dakota County, Minne sota, county attorney. Next Nov. 3, Stassen will be running', for mayor of Phila delphia. He has lowered his political sights considerably. Stassdh was a three time gov ernor of Minnesota beginning in. 1939 at age 32. He showed some, not much, early foot in two or three springs for the Republican presidential nomi nation. In 1948, Stassen shift ed his political base from Min nesota to Pennsylvania but was unable to generate there much enthusiasm for his poli tical ambitions. Statten Bounced Pennsylvania's Republic a n regulars threw Stassen so hard last year that he bounced Bank Looking (or Misplaced $113,200 Los Angftes-flJPD-TSe Baak of America and the FBI arc looking for $113,200 in cash. The money has apparently disappeared between the bank's closely guarded re serve vault and one of its 17 branches. ( "There is definitely a short age but not on our books," a spokesman said when the dis appearance was discovered. "It appears to bea case of misplaced funds." ' Officials said hopefully -Jhai the money probably was delivered to the .wrong Branch bank. and ricocheted with the force of his fall. That was the oc casion when he bucked the party organization in a grab for Pennsylvania's 1958 gu bernatorial nomination. The regulars beat Stassen in the primary with Arthur T. Mc Gonigle, a pretzel bender who was a political unknown but with considerable charm and vote-appeal. McGonigle lost the gover norship, however, to Demo cratic Mayor David L. Law rence of Pittsburgh. The Re publicans salvaged a U.S. Sen ate seat from their November, 1958, calamity. ( Rep. Hugh Scott won it. McGonigle's de feat was a shocker to the Re publican Old Guard. They couldn't have done much worse and might have done better at the polls if they had accepted Stassen. Political Maverick Stassen is a political maver ick, however, a Modern Re publican with a capital M. He plays rough and junks the rules when they seem to im pede him. As, for example, in a pre-convention effort for the presidential nomination, Stassen violated the tradition that an outsider does not, should not, invade the state of a favorite son in a raid for delegates. Stassen so in vaded Ohio that time' against Jtobert A. Taft and got him self some new enemies there- Another time, Stassen tapped down from the Re publican national convention rostrum where he just had delivered the keynote speech and became floor manager for Wendell Willkie's campaign for the Republican presiden tial nomination. The Old Guard was enraged at this breach of keynote speaker decorum and even more dis turbed when Stassen's man won out. Willkie scarcely could qualify as a Republican at the time he kidnapped the party s presidential nomina tion and Stassen,. of course, was a party to the snatch.

In 1955-56 Stas sen led the movement to de prive Vice President Richard M. Nixon of renomination. Not Completely Loved Those are some of the rea sons Stassen is not loved by party regulars. He has made his peace with the Republican organization in Philadelphia, however, such as it is, which isn't much. He won the may oralty nomination with or ganization backing and prac tically without effort on May 19. He will run in November against mayor Richardson Dil lorth. There will be Republi cans about who will hope Stassen gets licks. If Stassen wins he auto matically will become a big figure in the Republican par ty. He and Scott will be ma jor powers in the state and in the national organization. Stassen surely will throw his weight against Nixon for the 1960 presidential nomination. His weight might, even, be decisive. More than the Phila delphia Mayoralty may be up for grabs next November.
