Two Political Bridges to South
quick Douglas Hop on Kefouver Band Wagon Is Effort
- 10 Keep Democratic Party q Progressive Instrument

There is far more significance
than might appear in the I'M
Stinted and wholehearted sup
port that Senator Paul Doug
las, Democrat, of Illinois threw
behind the candidacy of his
Southern colleague, Senator
Estes Kefauver of Tennessee,
for the Democratic presidential
nomination.
Senator Douglas, recognized
outstanding leader among party
progreSSives. lost no time in
making this move. which has
potential long import. His
announcement came less than
"a hours after Gov. Adlai
Stevenson of his State with
drew formally from the nomi-
nation contest
The Douglas maneuver rep
resents an effort to keep the
Democratic Party a progressive
instrument.
Senator Kefauver, himself a
progressive. figures in this be-
cause the South. from which he
comes, figures in it and more
prominently than at any time
since the beginning of the
Roosevelt regime 20 years ago.
This is through the withdrawal
of President Truman, which not
only gives the South more voice
In party affairs, but opens the
way for bringing it back into
the fold.
But how. and on what terms.
shall this unity be achieved?
There are two bridges to the
South in the two candidates
from that area to the nomina-
ton. One is to progressive ele-
ments in the South by way of
Senator Kefauver. The other
is to conservative elements
through the candidacy of Sen
ator Richard B. Russell of
Georgia.
BY emphasis on the Kefauver
candidacy, Senator Douglas is
seeking unity on a progressive
basis. It is q gesture to pro-
ereSsives In. the South who are

said while on the question Of
civil rights you are like Gov.
Stevenson in preferring to have
these matters handled on the
State level, you have publicly
stated you will abide by the
party platform on this point"
then adding significantly:
I'VE will try to provide you
with a good statement of prin-
ciples and we know that you will
then campaign for it. I do not
see how the Nation can ask for
more on this point"
How many other party lead
ers of the progressive wing rep
resented by Senator Douglas
will follow him in the Kefauver
candidacy remains to be seen.
Some are skittiSh about a
Southerner at the head of the
ticket. But it is recognized
that. for the moment, he alone
represents progressivism among
announced candidates. Others
undoubtedly will be brought
forth, but none, Of course, who
have been before the voters, as
has the Senator, and shown
popular support at the ballot
box and collected delegates.
The Stevenson withdrawal
left vacuum. In him progress
sive elements saw a progressive
candidate about whom they
could rally and who, at the
same time, apparently was &C
ceptable to the South, so that
the aim of unity could be
achieved on progressive pro-
gram. Then envisioned the vice
presidential nomination as a tie
with the South, and for that
both Senators Kefauver and
Russell were mentioned.
Senator Douglas filled the
vacuum so far as he was con-
cerned by a quick hop on the
Kefauver band wagon and with
implications, as have been dis
cussed here, of a long range ma
ture IN the conflict within the
party between conservatism and
progreSsiviSm.

But Some Quarters Say Slate Should Be Reversed

presidential yacht, Williams
burg. He continued to be con-
suited by the President about
Illinois affairs while Senator
Douglas. in the Truman black
book because Of his leading role
in the RFC investigation and
In the economy drive, was not.
Senator Douglas naturally did
not blame Gov. Stevenson for
Mr.. Humans feelings. What he
did expect was that Gov. Steven
son would buck the trend to let
Mr.. Lucas be the voice of
Illinois in the Capital despite
the Lucas defeat. But the Gov
ernor. according to the Douglas
circle, drifted with It to the
point that the Senator began
to wonder whether he himself
might have to face Mr.. Lucas
in a primary fight when the
Douglas term expires in 1854.
Senator Douglas had been
limiting for some time that he
was Kefauver man. Gov.
Stevenson's withdrawal makes
it possible for him to be that
publicly without risking his
party standing in Illinois.
It always is possible, of
course. that Illinois will make
Senator Douglas it's favorite
son, at least for trading pur-
poses. The decision rests with
Boss Arvey and his Chicago
machine. The machine is
purely opportunistic, but it does
understand what constitutes a
winner.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1952-04-18

Senator Douglas still refuses to
be put forward as a presidential
contender, and rejects any
thought that his backing of
Senator Kefauver is anything
but the serious. whole hearted
move it appears to be.
It is still not impossible that,
should the convention be dead
locked. the strength which Sem
ator Douglas will now help Sem
ator Kefauver to acquire might
be thrown to the Senator from
Illinois. A Douglas candidacy,
under certain emotional cir
cumstances which might well
arise, would have an excellent
chance of success.
It is a break for Senator
Douglas that Gov. Adlai Stew
enson retired from the lists.
The two men have not got on
well for some time, though both
nave peen reClcent about their
differences.
These began shortly after the
defeat of Senator Scott Lucas
in 1850. When the then Ma
jority Leader went down, Sem
ator Douglas expected to be
recognized as the party leader
in Washington by Gov. Steven
son, Chicago Boss Jake Arvey
and the State generally.
But Senator Lucas opened a

If the Government hesitates,
the CLIO union threatens a
strike.
Any order from the President,
executed by the Secretary of
Commerce, to put into effect the
wage increases recommended"
by the Wage Sterilization Board
is an act of confiscation. Such
a step is Immoral because the
word of the President of the
United States was given to both
unions and employers that the
recommendations" of the board
were not to be considered bind
ing on either party. To make
them binding by Selling the
treasures of the companies and
taking their money and paying
it out to employees is to break a
solemn promise. It signifies that
the pledge of the Government
has been torn into scraps of
paper. With such an order, the
whole sterilization machinery
becomes a totalitarian process
hardly unlike that prevailing
under Communism or Fascism.
What is most unfortunate is
that the President had available
another course of action out
lined to him by Congress. and he
never followed 1t. Congress ex-
pected the President to exact a
mo strike" and mo lockout"
pledge from the unions and in
dustry and, since both sides were
to lose their economic leverage,
controls could be imposed on
wages and prices. But there
was no provision for seizure or
for the squelching of collective
bargaining. In fact, the existing
Defense Production Act, under
which the Wage Sterilization
Board functions, specifically
says:
1.-THE national policy shall be
to place primary reliance upon
the parties to any labor dispute
to make every effort through
negotiation and collective bar
gaining and the full use of me-
diation and Cancellation facilities
to effect, a settlement in the
national interest. To this end,
the President is authorized Cd
to initiate voluntary conferences
between management, labor and
such persons as the President
may designate to represent the

a thriving and growing COM
munity. The Russell candidacy
is regarded generally as chiefly
a means for solidifying South
ern conservatives to regain in
fluence at the convention and,
through that operation, in the
party itself. Few expect his
nomination.
The Kefauver candidacy, on
the other hand, is beginning to
be taken more and more seri-
ouSly and Senator Douglas sees
in it a chance to bring the
South back into the party as
an integral part of that party
and not a continuing sectional
entity. He said he thinks it is
a tragedy that the South has
sealed itself off from the rest of
the Nation" and built a bar
rier between itself and the Ma
ton" over the civil-rights issue.
He paid very high tribute to
Senator Russell. but said 1T is
a tragedy that Dick got himself
into the leadership of that
movement"
Senator Douglas clearly rec
ognizes. however, that the civil
rights issue is a formidable one
and cuts across both progressive
and conservative elements in
the South. He recognizes also
that in the interest of unity a
compromise may be necessary.
For that reason he is enlisted
among party leaders now seek
ing a compromise, a movement
revealed here a few days ago,
which would tone down. the

measures.

telegram to Senator Kefauver

AS Kefauver strategists see

Senator Douglas has the matur-

He is articulate where the Ten

Best Of all, he compliments
Senator Kefauver in the field
