It's an accurate sumup of a career of Senate leadership In which, as the youngest floor leader ever (44 on his election in 1953) lie pulled together a dissident minority party. And as ma jority leader of an out-of-the-White House party, he has compromised the way to leg islation in the last four years. Progressive, Prudent "I believe that I am pro gressive and prudent without being radical. I think I am conservative without being re actionary," Johnson said. He said he was called a "fighting liberal" when he first went to Congress, in 1936, and quickly became a protege of President Roosevelt, a "great Democratic liberal" under Harry S. Truman and a "vot ing liberal" against McCar thyism.

Fought Hard Campaign Stevenson, then seeking a second term as governor of Illinois, was drafted for the presidential nomination in 1952 with the active support of retiring President Harry S. Truman. He fought a hard primary campaign for the 1956 nomination and won it handily despite Truman's in terjection of Averell llnrrl man as a last minute rival. Relations between St (even son and Truman are distinct ly cool. The former president said recently that Stevenson isn't decisive enough to be President, but he has not sug gested Stevenson or any Dem ocrat could have won the last two presidential elections.
