In The-
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
A big wind blew through Min
nesota yesterday. When it sub
sided, Estes Kefauver was no
longer just an annoying cocklebur
in the tail of the Democratic party
professionals.
Between sunup and sundown on
Tuesday, his status as a candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
President changed from a m e r e
possibility to a STRONG PROBA
BILITY. What happened?
PLENTY!
As this Is written, Kefauver has
24 of Minnesota's delegates to the
Democratic convention nailed
down. He is leading in three of
the remaining six delegate con
tests He has at present 56 per cent
of the total vote and Stevenson has
44 per cent. The popular vote so
far is Kefauver 205,665 and Stev
enson 159.378.
Add what happened in Minnesota
yesterday to what happened in
, New Hampshire the other day and
'you have the makings of a drive
for the Democratic nomination for
President that can't be laughed off.
Kefauver's Minnesota victory is
all the more striking because Stev
enson ran with the endorsement
and the positive and vigorous as
sistance of the state Democratic
organization. He was actively sup
ported by the state's Democratic
Governor Orville Freeman and by
Democratic Senator Hubert Hum
phrey. Humphrey is not only a big duck
In the Minnesota pond. He is one
of the prominent leaders in the
dominant wing of the Democratic
party in the nation.
That might be a straw in the
political winds that will be worth
watching.
President Eisenhower is con
cedediy stronger than the profes
sional leadership of the Republi
can party. After Minnesota and
New Hampshire, it must be gen
erally admitted that Kefauver is
stronger among the people than
the Democratic party's profession
al leadership.
Maybe the people are REBEL
LING against professional party
leadership.
Stevenson supporters are con
tending this morning that the up
set victory for Kefauver came be
cause Republicans crossed into the
Democratic column TO VOTP1 FOR
THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE
WHO WOULD BE THE EASIEST
TO BEAT. Cross-over voting is
possible in Minnesota because
there is no party registration.
I can't help doubting that. If you
get the opportunity this spring or
summer, watch Kefauver in action
in a crowd. If possible, get into the
line and shake hands with him.
After the handshake, analyze your
own reactions.
I think you'll come out of the
experience liking the man and
thinking he has a real interest in
YOU. He has the quality of per
sonal charm that in these days
goes very far indeed in politics.
Stevenson, on the other hand, ap
peals more to the intellect than to
the heart. You admire and re
spect him, but you don't go out
and throw up your hat and yell
yourself hoarse. for him. Personal
ly, I think Kefauver would be a
harder man for the Republicans to
beat than Stevenson.
I can't take much stock in the
theory that his victory in Minne
sota was engineered by Republi
cans who came over on the Demo
cratic side to vote for him as the
weakest candidate.

May Veto
Farm Bill
WASHINGTON ..fi President
Eisenhower hinted Wednesday at a
veto of farm legislation unless the
Senate s bill is .sharply modified.
At the same time he brushed off
any suggestion that Tuesday's
Minnesota primary vote reflects
a revolt against his agricultural
program.
Eser.hower conceded at his
news conference that the Min
nesota returns, in which the Dem
ocratic vote far outnumbered the
Republican count, are something
to be studied and analyzed.
HIS OPINION
Eut he said In his opinion farm
ers generally believe his admin-1
istraiion is seexing a program !
that would give producers 100 per
cent oi parity in uie market plnce.
As for the Senate farm bill,
plastered wah amendments whicn
the administration uoes not like,
Eisenhower saia it is not a good
bill. He added it is not workable
and would buy farmers under sur
pluses they couldn't stand.
The President voiced nope that
a Senate-House conference com
mittee, toward which the measure
is headed, will write a good bill
that will realiy help agriculture.
The House has passed Its own
version of farm legislation, center
ing on price supports at 90 per cent
of parity something the adminis
tration likes as little as some of
the features of the Senate bill.
DISCUSSION
The White House discussion
came as tne timing of new larm
legislation moved to the front as
a factor in the major parlies' cam
paigns for the rural vote in the
November election.
Thus far. the timing would ap
pear to favor the Democrats. And
there appear to be no signs of
a speedup which, some GOP strat
egists think, might help the Re
publicans. Republicans are pinning their
hopes for farmers' votes largely
on benefits they say would accrue
through a soil bank plan. This
contemplates that payments up to
$1,200,000,000 would be made this
summer to farmers for laking un
needed crop land out of produc
tion and putting it to soil conser
vation uses.
HOPES PINNED
Democrats, on the other hand,
are pinning their hopes largely on
farmer dissatisfaction . with price
and income declines under the
.Eisenhower ... administration, .and
with party promises of higher
price supports.
The administration's soil bank
plan will provide little help to
farmers this year unless it can be
set up "before planting time. Farm
ers in the South already are plant
ing their crops and seeding will
get into full swing in other parts
of the country next month.
The Agriculture Department ha;
said that if the soil bank plan i
not enacted before April 15, it
would be virtually impossible to
set it up this year.
McKay Activity
Date Predicted
WASHINGTON ijp Secretary
of the Interior McKay may open
his active campaign for Republi
can nomination to the Senate at
the April 13-14 meeting of the Ore
gon Young Republican Federa
tion. He said he will know by Monday
when he will resign from the cab
inet. "It might be in time for me to
be able to speak at a meeting of
Young Republicans in Oregon
next month. I might be out by
then but if I am still secretary,
there will be a conflict unless I
can break engagements I have.
. . . If I am in a position to speak
to the Young Republicans there is
nothing I would like better."
Supporters of McKay are ex
pected to seek endorsement of his
candidacy at the Eusene meeting.
But backers of Philip Hitchcock,
another candidate, also are ex
pected to ask Young GOP en
dorsement. The federation's College League
last weekend announced it wrs

Ike Sure
WASHINGTON Itfl President
Eisenhower Wednesday urged the
nation not to regard the school
integration issue as one which
could separate Americans and
create a nasty mess.
Eisenhower again, at a news
conference, appealed for modera
tion. He said the problem of de
segregation is one of deep emo
tion. But he said he is confident
progress can be made.
For the second week in a row
Eisenhower spoke with feeling
of controversy created by the
Supreme Court's decisions strik
ing down race segregation in pub
lic schools.
Eisenhower said It is incumbent
upon the people of the south to
show some progress in good race
relations.
That, he added, Is what the Su
preme Court asked for. The court,
in implementing its segregation
ban. called for progress with "all
deliberate speed.'
Eisenhower said he should not
stagnate, and declared that again
he wanted to plead for understand
ing between the races.
He also dealt with . other
matters Including:

Minnesota, like all other states,

Democratic National Committee
figured that one-half vote would be
allotted to each delegate. In this
slate, where delegates are pledged
to the choice in the primary, a
complicated system will allow
some of them to vote in odd frac
tions. But that won't alter the totals
with which Kefauver and Steven

Stevenson's backers attributed

Proposed Spud
Law Debated
BAKERSFIELD. Calif (UP)
Governors of two potato-growing
states disagreed over the desira
bility of a proposed federal potato
marketing agreement now befoie
Congress.
Gov. Robert E. Smylie of Idaho,
a Republican, said growers should
not rush into the agreement with
out first considering what effect
government controls would have
on the industry.
Democratic Gov. Edmund S.
Muskie of Maine. Idaho's chief
competitor on the nation's Russet
potato market, said the proposed
legislation would benefit his state.
He said the agreement would re
sult In better market quality.
The two chief executives yester
day addressed 2000 delegates at
tending the final session of the
12th annual Kern County Potato
Growers Association convention.
Smylie said he doubted that
Congress could write a law which
would Impose the same controls
on the potato Industry in all states
without penalizing some states to
the advantage of others.
Muskie said the first approach
to the problem is to make a po
tato product more acceptable to
the market. He indicated the mar
keting agreement would do Just
that.
Muskie claimed the agreement
would prohibit marketing of culls
