100000 Saw Nominee
By J. A. O'Leory
Stcr Stoff Correspondent

SPRINGFIELD, Ill.,, Sept. o.
Is the widespread use of television
in this years presidential cam
paign going to alter the value and
Importance of old-fashioned polit-
ical rallies at which the candidates
deliver their stump speeches?
This question was being debated
by political observers here today
following the one-day whirlwind
trip of Gov. Adlai E. Stephenson,
the Democratic nominee. through
Michigan yesterday.
Between $4,000 and 10000 per-
sons gathered in the hot sun in
Cadillac Square. Detroit, to hear
him deliver his major address of
the day on how he would rewrite
the Taft-Hartley labor law.
This speech was televised locally
as well as on a national network,
and some of his associates sug-
gested he would have drawn a big
ger crowd except for the chance
folks had to see and hear him in
comfort at home.
Earlier yesterday his foreign
policy talk at Grand Rapids also
was televised in that city. He had
between 5000 and 5000 persons
in front of the platform in Cam
pau Square of downtown Grand
Rapids.
When his plane landed back in
Springfield last night Gov. Ste
venson himself said he was de-
lighted with the crowds and the
response to his four Michigan
speeches.
Wilson Wyatt. manager of the
Stevenson campaign, joined in to
say that Michigan's Democratic
Governor, G. Mennen Williams
estimated that more than 250,00O
persons saw Gov. Stevenson on
his journey through the State.
Newsmen who followed the can
didate's caravan to Grand Rapids,
Detroit, Hamtramck, Pontiac and
Flint thought that estimate was
high.
Even before the advent of tele-
vision the size of crowds attracted
by presidential candidate have
not always been a reliable yard
stick of how he would do on elec-
ton day. With the frequent use
of television by both sides this
year, the crowds attending the
rallies will be less accurate than
in the past as barometers of how
the political wind is blowing.
Although he was dealing with
heavy subjects yesterday-labo1
relations and foreign policy-the
erudite and witty Democratic
nominee entertained his audi
ences with the usual sprinkling OF
light touches.
Gov. Williams also had his bit
of fun at Flint, when he presented
Gov. Stevenson with his political

The Prime Minister said the re-

gain economic strength. He said
the program would be spread over
four years, rather than the three
that had been planned. And, as If
to emphasize that America could
not solve the problems of all her

France, Churchill explained that
Britain hoped to cut down her trad

1952-model Dixiecrat party seemed
to be only a remote possibility. But
there remained the chance that the
Southerners who were holding their
peace eventually might put their
formidable support behind Eisen-
hover, not as the ideal candidate,
but as the lesser of two evils. The
stanchly Democratic Richmond
(va.) News-Leader and 53 other
Southern papers already were
Pumping for the general. Virginia's
Senator Robertson, on the other
hand, like numerous other Southern
legislators, came out for Stevenson.
1t remained to be seen who was
straw in what wind.
What was happening down South
had its counterpart up North, at
the opposite end of the Democratic
political spectrum. The liberal
New Yorker, Senator Lehman,
warned Senator Sparkman, the
vice presidential candidate, that he
would have to give more than lip
service to civil rights If he expected
success in the North.
Unlike the deep Southerners, who
always can join Eisenhower as a

Steel and Strife

Blast furnaces were being stocked
again, but workers were still being
laid off in industries dependent on
steel. Repercussions from the
longest and costliest steel strike in
history would be felt for another
year.
1t would take until September
to get steel production back to pre-
strike levels. Output fell to IS
per cent Of capacity during the
strike, which ended July "a. Last
week production was scheduled at
Al per cent Of capacity. The slow
up was caused by damage done to
the furnaces by the hasty shut
down two months ago.
The Government told the mills
to start at once on backlog military
orders. BY october / each mill will
have set quota of Government
production. Civilian orders will be
filled when possible.
Government officials estimated
that 3 million persons engaged in
civilian industries faced sporadic
unemployment until the backlog Of
military orders could be filled. IN
dustrial production during July
dropped to the lowest level since
early in 1850.
Aluminium and Cool
Other labor fronts showed q
mixture of good cheer and grim
foreboding. A threatened aluminium
strike was averted Monday when
the Aluminium Co. of America
reached agreement with the CIO
Steelworkers. Price hikes were
promptly announced.
Those dark clouds on the horizon
were the shaggy eyebrows of John
L. Lewis knitted together In deep
thought as he pondered the advis-
ability of another coal strike. His
contract with the mine owners was
up for renewal, and he began pre-
liminary negotiations Wednesday.
His notice on termination would
permit him to strike in late Sep
tember. There is enough coal above
ground to keep home fires burning
until early December. After that,
1t would be the old familiar race
between cold weather and a settle
