Washington Report By WILLIAM TWO CAN RELAX Washington - Adlai E. Ste venson is developing a unique aisuneuon amid all the un Fw certainties of ; trie o m i n a Pre sidential election year, He is the Democrat who, of all Democrats, is 'most certain to hold a high- 1 Tf o!onifint Whit ' p u b 1 ic posi tion should his- party gains the White House. He is rather like a horse race bettor who has money down alike on win, place and how. If he himself should be nominated and elected, he would cash the "win" ticket for the grand prize. And if any other Demo cratic aspirant now in sight should take the top honor, Stevenson could hardly do less than collect on a place or show wager. . The recent meeting in New York of na tional Democratic leaders has confirmed what was already faii-ly clear that almost in evitably Stevenson would be at least in any new Demo cratic Cabinet, probably as Secretary of State. Thus, he is the most com fortably situated of all the - Democratic .Presidential pos sibilities. He has carried the load for the party in two los ing Presidential campaigns against Dwight D. Eisen hower. Now, he reaps the re wards of past exertions. This explains why Steven- son's repeated statements that he won't actively seek a third nomination are widely accept ed by the pros as the plain truth. They believe he means what he says, and so does this correspondent. In all logic he has little need to go out look ing for anything from a party already sure to honor him, one way or another, if it can, THIS does not mean, of course, that Stevenson en thusiasts are .doing nothing. Here and there they are beat ing the drums for him, if ra ther soft drums. If it is true that he has not. stopped them, it is also true that he couldn't anyhow. He himself has adopted this strategy: ' that if the nomination is to be his again, it will come to him; he will not go out in hot pursuit of it. His fortunate circumstances allow him the luxurv of this position. It happens to be also 111 PO00 r J 1 1 l d PHILCO BUDGETM ASTER New style! New color! New features!

Lyndon B. Johnson. Stevenson's biggest handi cap lies in the declared (and often, quite sincere) belief of many organization Democrats that he could not wm the elec tion. Johnson's biggest handi cap lies in the declared (and often quite sincere) belief of many organization Democrats that he could not win the nom ination itself because of his Texas background. And, for a superb irony, the privatew view of an un doubted majority of , the im ported national Democratic professionals is this: that in sheer ability Stevenson and Johnson between the mhave incomparable more of that valuable, but not necessarily decisive, assets than all their Demicratic rivals put to gether. FOR Stevenson, therefore, to run around pleading for the nomination would be simply to invite more "he-can't-win" talk from those who oppose him. This sleep ing dog is better left lying as quiet as possible, as long as possible. Johnson, for his part, must adopt a comparable policy of wait and see, for a compar able reason. To be openly ac- Try and Stop Me : By BENNETT CERF A LITTLE GIRL, attending her first church wedding, ex claimed to her mother, ."That's a funny bride! She must have changed her mind at the last moment" "Whatever makes you .say a thing , ' N like that?" wondered the . mother. The little girl explained, "Well, she went up the aisle with, one man, and here she comes back with an other!" . Helen Hayes and Katha rine Cornell,' two of the great American actresses of all time, have a little mutual admiration society. The story goes that Miss Cornell attended an open ing night of a Hayes star ring" vehicle and sent this message backstage by an usher: "Katharine Cornell firmly be lieves Helen Hayes is the best actress in New York." Miss Hayes read it with delight, added two commas, and sent it back to Miss Cornell: "Katharine Cornell, firmly believes Helen Hayes, is the best actress in New York." C by Bennett Cerf.

So Johnson must go to the convention just the way Ste venson will go. They both must be "available" avail able for the nomination among men (the convention delegates) whose greater knowledge of the inner qual ities of al lthe candidates may incline them to consider a nominee more for fitness than for immediate public popu larity. In summary, both can af ford to relax a bit. For Ste venson is a moral certainty to reach some high position if any Democrat wins the Pres idency. And Johnson can do no worse than continue as Democratic leader of the Sen ate. (Copyright, 1959, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)
