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

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.
