Complete Rigging Outfit, Winch Trucks, Low-bed Trailers Adlai E. Stevenson by Noel F. Busch VI — War and Peace Stc’enson’s first excursion into the war zones took place in 1942 in the form of an inspection tour. The area inspected was the entire Pacific theatre and the group did not return to Washington until February 1943. On his first Euro pean tour in the summer of 1943, Stevenson headed a Foreign Eco- nomic Administration mission. He met General Eisenhower in Na- pies, where the General was con l,uctinS an inspec- Eisenhower vW.s.nil, ‘ Well, well, I nd you were JKJ here. How's ev Kw*'”— Jl lSerylh'ni Suing'’" Stevenson said ^■everything «.is ffn-v going as well as Gov. Stevenson l°uldu bc e.xP^t ed. He and the General parted on friendly terms, and have not seen each other since. Stevenson’s wartime travels, aside from his tour of the Pacific and a trip to the Carribean, in cluded visits to Algeria, Tunis, Sic ily, Italy, Gibraltar, Liberia, Eng land, France, Germany, Luxem bourg, Holland and Belgium. He was no sooner back in the United States than he became involved in the United Nations Conference at San Francisco. As Secretary of State and Chair man of the U. S. delegation and the Conference, Edward Stettinius had a hard row to hoc. Moreover, the whole population of the U. S., as represented in San Francisco by the press, were upset because they could not find anyone who knew what was going on. Eventually, Stevenson was summoned in his familiar role of troubleshooter. His first move was to arrange to attend the U. S. delegation's meet ings so that he would be aware of what was going on inside them. His next move was to establish himself, after the meetings, in Room 576 at the Fairmount, whence he dispensed information to the correspondents. Stevenson’s next job was at the Preparatory Commission meeting in London, scheduled for the fol lowing August. He was deputy of Stettinius, who having resigned as Secretary of State after the San Francisco Conference, headed the U S. delegation with the rank of ambassador. Due to illness, Stet tinius presently returned to the U. S., leaving Stevenson in charge. As the 1947 autumn meeting of the General Assembly, to which he was an alternate delegate, drew to a close Stevenson decided to enter politics in his home state. In considering a career in poli tics, Stevenson was behaving in a characteristically conscientious fashion. During the war, he had come upon an item in the Stars and Stripes to which he attributes in large part his later decision to enter politics. "It was a public opinion poll in which seven out of ten American parents said they didn't want their boys to enter pub lie life," says Stevenson. "Think of it! Boy,» could suffer and die in their cold, muddy, bloody cam paign for the things we believe in but parents didn’t want their chil dren to work for these same things. I decided then that if 1 ever had a gr M . - . EL fc- chance, I'd go into public life.“ His considerations, however, had one serious drawback. The politi cians had never heard of Steven son. Practical Politics "Where the hell did you dig up this guy Add lay?” a party leader inquired sadly (of Jacob Arvey, Adlai’s sponsor for the governor ship). "Let alone not knowing him. the voters can't even pronounce his name. He'll get his ears beat back.” Stevenson chose an unusual cam paign procedure. He promised no body anything, including Colonel Arvey. • His campaign was based on the issue of corruption, as exemplified in the regime of the incumbent Dwight Green, who opposed him. When Stevenson defeated Green by 572,000 votes, while Truman was nosing out Dewey in Illinois by a mere 34,000, it was one of the most dramatic reversals of the they laughed when ! sat-down at- the piano variety ever recorded in the long history of U. S. politics. Stevenson was unencumbered by political obligations and brought to politics only honesty of the lay va riety, and acted as though that were the only kind. Performance When Stevenson took office in 1948, he inherited a state in which: three thousand miles of highway were in urgent need of immediate repair or reconstruction; mental hospitals were overcrowded, obso lete and understaffed; aid to public schools was less per capita than in any other state in the union, illicit gambling operated with the profes sional endorsement of local police; payrolls were padded but legiti mate state salaries had not been raised to meet the cost of living; and charges of every sort of cor ruption, often well founded, had undermined confidence in the gov ernment generally. in three and a half years in of fice, Stevenson effected some note worthy changes. Stevenson set his newly reformed state police force to policing over weight trucks, instead of cheer fully waving them on their way. He reorganized the highway divi sion, to eliminate graft in handling contracts and get set lor a major building program. Schools. During his term the state's contribution to schools rose by $139,000,000. Illinois' education al program is now generally re garded as one of the nation's best. Mental Hospitals. Under Steven son, 85 percent of the attendants were put under civil service. In 1950, Dr. Karl Mcnninger of the famous Kansas Clinic, was invited to inspect the hospitals to see what improvements had been made and what further ones were needed. Wenninger pronounced the Illinois mental hospitals among the best in the country. Economy. Illinois currently ranks lower in per capita tax collection in relation to per capita income than any other state except Ne braska and New Jersey. Administrative Methods. Steven son put through seventy-eight bills aimed at technical improvements in the efficiency of governmental machinery. Copyright 1952 by Noel F Buech Published by Farrar.
