Stevenson May Yet Be Persuaded
Midwest Democrats Say Governors Reluctance to Run
Rids Him Of Truman Label and He Can Be Drafted

to promise to deliver him at
Chicago n Gen. Eisenhower is
nominated by the Republicans;
they assert no doubt that he
would make the race against
Senator Taft.
Gov. Stevenson has said pub
licly that the election Of Sena-
tor Taft would be calamity.
He has been long and closely
associated with Gen. Eisenhow-
er. It is known also that some
of his friends have advised him
that 1856 is his year and that
he should passively cooperate
with an Eisenhower victory
this fall. The General, he is
assured, can't last more than
one term and in that time he
will have cleared out the Demo-
cratic deadwood that offers
such q discouraging prospect
to a new Democratic President.
What Gov. Stevenson thinks
Of all this-and he must know
that it is being said-is his Sc
cret. Publicly, he has not al
tered his position.
However, so long as the
Democrats lack q strong can
didate and they still think they
do-Gov. Stevenson will be
kept in the picture by Boss

Adenuuer Courts Eisenhower
His Position Is Shoky but German Chancellor Sees West
As Countrys Hope Despite Anger With Eronce
Constantine Brown:

For the first time since he
became the leading American
in Europe" Gen. Eisenhower
has sat at a luncheon table
with a prominent German
official, Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer.
According to reports from
Bonn, the meeting between the
two men was even more cordial
than protocol required. The
leader of the Confederation Of
Western German Republics
spoke frankly to the retiring
NATO commander.
Herr Adenauer's position in
Western Germany is somewhat
shaky. His willingness to CO.
operate with the Western Allies
has exceeded the actual wishes
Of the Germans themselves. In
the opinion of his opponents,
he has offered too much for
too little.
Western Germans have be-
come lukewarm toward military
cooperation with their former
Western foes, not because the
Soviet proposals have made
any definite dent in their think
ing. but because the French
have chosen this time to force
the union of an important Ger
man province, the Saar, to
France.
This ill-timed move by the
Paris government has aroused
indignation and suspicion in
Germany. And Adenauer, who
went long way toward full CO.
operation at the London meet
ing with the American, British
and French foreign ministers
last winter, may be the scape-
goat.
The aged German political
leader is not particularly wor-
ried about remaining in power
for his own sake. But he is re-
ported TO fear that the Bonn
republic may share the fate of
that Of Weimar, created after
World War I. Had France CO.
operated then with the genuine
democratic leaders such as For
eign Minister Gustav Streseman,
Evening star., 1952-05-05

we might not have had Hitler
and World War II.
The German chancellor is
afraid of a repetition of the
mistakes of more than a
quarter-of-a-century ago and
fears that if he were overthrown
on an issue of national import
ance instead of a domestic poll
tical squabble, the Western
European defense fabric might
be damaged irreparably.
Western Germany has been
recognized by all military lead
ers as the key to Western
European defense. Not only is
she in the forefront in the
West of a Soviet attack-hence
her important strategic position
but Germany also possesses a
potential army which could solve
the manpower problems of the
INA ~ COuIlIIIGS.
Gen. Eisenhower, who cannot
be described by anybody as pro-
German, was among the first
to recognize the vital military
Importance of the former Reich.
Even after the crushing defeat
the Wehrmacht suffered in the
last war and the devastation
caused by the Allied armies, the
Germans continue to remain
strongly disciplined. There
seemed to be no doubt in the
minds of the military at SHAPE
that unless political problems
such as a grab of the Saar by
the French. the German people
would obey any call to arms pro-
vided their right to sovereignty
was at least partially recognized
by their former conquerorS.
There were indications from
Bonn, before the meeting be-

under the weight Of the
atomic bomb.
This rush Is because Of the
plainly wide-open nature Of
the Democratic convention as
seen from here, and the in
creasingly bitter fight between
the Senator Taft and Gen.
Eisenhower forces among Re-
publicans, which Democrats
speculate may portend trouble
for Republicans come Novem-
ber.
AS for the Taft camp, there
is another maneuver presum-
ably provoked by the frustrat-
ing talk, promoted by the
Generals generals, that Sena-
tor Taft lacks the popular
appeal of his military rival and
that the General can get more
of the needed independent
VOTE" While angrily denied,
it nevertheless is considered
privately.
There Is a stock treatment
to try to overcome such a
handicap. That is to form what
is called q nationwide citizens
committee, citizens" somehow
being different from Democrats
and Republicans, and thus
representing the independent
vote"
That Senator Taft has done.
To head his citizens committee,
showing the times in which we
live, he has picked a profess
sional military man now out Of
military work, Lieut.. Gen. AL
bert c. Wedemeyer, retired.
That might seem out Of
character for Senator Taft who
has goaded the military often.
But there is method here. At
least 1t might be surmised that
the Senator has come to the
conclusion that there's some
magic just now for the public

up to Congress-to pass proper
laws providing means. Of set
Ting labor disputes in major
industries in a national emer-
gency. 1t is not up to the Ex-
ecutive to try to write such
laws. Congress has the consti-
tutional power to sanction the
temporary seizure of plants and
to prescribe methods and con-
ditions of employment during
Government operation.
The net effect now is to
maintain the mills in Govern
ment hands while somebody
behind the scenes in the Ad-
ministration works up a deal
to satisfy labor. It will not be
deal that satisfies the owners
of the properties. because the
present Administration believes
in virtual confiscation of the
profits that must be earned to
retain investor confidence. But
the labor dispute is back to
collective bargaining between
the parties, where it belongs.
The steel strike could have
been settled weeks ago. Presi-
dent Truman could have set
tied it on March % last had
he not welshed on his instruc-
tions to Charles E. Wilson, for
mer director of economic mo-
bilization, who had a compro-
mise plan that Mr.. Truman ap-
proved but which was upset by
the insubordination of some of
the Presidents own appointees.
The same President who fired
Gen. Macarthur in a mood of
petty peevishness couldn't sum-
mon up enough courage to dis
miss the petty obstructionists
in his own encourage, or to
swallow his pride when he
found himself rebuked by a
court of law.
But the issues are becoming
plain for the American people
to see-executive bungling. and
disregard of the Constitution.
The situation calls for a return
to constitutional rule by Con-
gress, through whom the people
speak-and an abandonment Of
the doctrine of expediency.

by the compass Of fundamental
principle and morality, the way
is opened to the disintegration

psychology - that the union
must be cajoled into returning
to work and that the great ju-
dicial power of the United
States could not be invoked to
preserve the status quo-to
keep the mills operating and
the Government from imposing
wage increases while the Or
derly process Of appeal to the
Supreme Court was being fol-
lowed.
The blunder Of the five JUS
tices of the Circuit Court of
Appeals will rank in the his
tofy Of American jurisprudence
as a terrible example of an alb
ject surrender to expediency-
that the end justifies the means.
-Four justices of the Circuit
Court of Appeals were ready to
grant an order to maintain the
status quo during the critical
situation-a legal principle well
established in law and custom.
But they were outvoted. 1t
makes a tragic record.
Even as the solicitor general
was telling the Circuit Court
of Appeals frankly that the
Government could not promise
to maintain the status quo, the
Circuit Courts majority, in ef-
feet, surrendered to the exigen-
cies and to the cry that this
was the only way to get steel
production resumed, merely by
placating the CIO union.
Then the President stepped
in to reward the CIO for its
aggression by promising in be-
half of the Government an i'm
mediate wage increase. There
upon, the Supreme Court told
the President you could not do
this.
BY unanimous vote, the Su-
preme Court reversed the Cir
cult Court Of Appeals and or
dered the status quo to be
maintained-that is, no wage
increase and no return Of the
mills while the Supreme Court
calmly reviews the basic ques-
tions of law. This Is in keeping
with judicial tradition.
The Supreme Court thus
warns that it will not be CO.
creed by any party to the dis
pute or by the Executive into
deciding a case under duress.
It also means that the solution
Of the problem is now really
Evening star., 1952-05-05

there seems to be little talk Of
a Truman draft, though this Is
not put beyond the bounds Of
possibility should Republicans
choose Senator Taft as their
nominee.
How to persuade Democratic
leaders to move their man from
the second level to the first in
their considerations is the great
problem of the Kefauver camp.
They are hoping that Ohio and
Florida will help them out Tues
day with substantial recognition
of the Senator from Tennessee.
Even New York. they figure,
would be impressed with the
combination of Kefauver
strength in a pivotal State and
q Kefauver crack in the solid
South support for Senator
Russell.
Despite the fact the Demo-
cratic nomination seems to be
going begging, no general i'm
preston exists that the election
is over, that any Republican can
win. Perhaps this is only be-
cause the 1948 lesson on over
confidence still is fresh in peo-
pies minds. But it is rather
interesting that, with all its
handicaps Of the moment. the
party in power is rated still
formidable.

CHICAGO, May 5. - Some
Midwest Democrats who still
are planning to make Gov. Ad-
lai E. Stevenson Of Illinois the
party's nominee for President
have evolved an interesting ar
gument which they are busily
disseminating among the trade.
Their story runs like this:
Gov. StevenSon's present re-
luctance is a good thing be-
cause it is ridding him Of the
Truman label. Had he appeared
willing to accept the crown
from the Presidents hands
when it was offered him, he
would have gotten with it the
Administration liabilities. He
would have been tagged the
crown prince, stuck with the
corruption issue and the cro-
nieS.
Now, they continue, he can
emerge as the honest draft Of
his party, the choice Of the
rank and file.
Having explained thus that
everything is for the best in
this best Of all possible worlds,
they profess to see also q new
light in the Governors eye
since his contact with cheering
crowds in New York and on the
West Coast.

auer, that the German chancel-
lor would open. up to the Allied
commander and warn him Of
the dangers of q passive Ger
many.
Most Europeans are con-
vinced the general will sweep
into the White House in No
vember. Their leaders know
from the experience of the last
20 years that a President Of the
United States has an unlimited
say in the conduct of the coun-
try's foreign relations.
They all remember the At
lantic pact concluded between
Messrs. Roosevelt and Churchill
three months before Pearl Har-
Dor; the Teheran, Yalta and
Potsdam agreements; and the
decisive influence of the incum-
bent in the White House on the
approval of the Marshall Plan,
the North Atlantic Pact and the
sending of American forces to
foreign lands by the American
Congress.
And they all expect a popular

general who agrees with the
Senatorial least on Asia pol
icy.
Gen. Wedemeyer is no recent
convert to the Senator. He was
up and down Nebraska cam
paigning for him-and Nebraska
is one State where the Sen
ator beat the General in the
special technique of the Eisen-
hover managers-the write-in
vote. So Gen. Wedemeyer may
have some special magic.
Democrats are avidly inter-
ested in everything that Is hap
pening between the Senator and
the General. If the Senator Is
nominated, you may expect the
Democratic convention to be a
real humdinger. Most every
Democrat thinks he could beat
Senator Taft, which may be
completely unfounded. but you
can imagine candidates. an
nounced and unannounced,
practicing secretly those chop
ping Truman gestures.
But the Senator may not be
nominated. It may be the Cen
eral. While the latter seems to
cast a big and frightening
shadow among top managers
Of the Democratic Party, it is
not quite that way among many
local organization leaders, ac-
cording to one astute politician
who recently has been out
among them. He says they are
figuring ways and means al
ready to best the General and
reported also that, despite all
the discouraging things happen
ing here politically, the organi-
zation never was more alive and
ready to go.
The basic theory seems to be
that the General is at his peak
now and, once he begins to take
o stand on issues. his stock ID
bound to come down. as that's
the only way for it to 60.
Maybe. Maybe not. But this
Is the witching season when
politicians whistle in the dark
and dream dreams.
