Gov. Stevenson said he had been

Truman's choice for the Demo-
cratic nomination at the National
Convention July 2l, in Chicago.
Gov. Stevenson said that ~
cannot hope that my situation will
be universally understood or my
conclusions unanimously ap-

IT can hope" he said, "that
friends with larger ambitions fol-
me will not think i'll of me. They
have paid me the greatest COM
pliment within their gift, and they
have my utmost gratitude

Slim Political Kitty
May Hamper AFL in
Backing Stevenson
By jones Y. Newton
Ssor ssoH Correspondent

NEW YORK, Sept. pa seri-
Gus shortage of funds today
threatened to cripple the American
Federation Of Labor's ambitious
new venture into politics.
The AFL's political kitty" was
almost empty. But Of even more
concern to the Federation leaders
is that political contributions from
the 8 million are only trickling
when at this stage of the cam
paign they should be flooding in.
A drive Of the AFL's Political
League to raise funds through
dollar contributions from union
members is tagging far behind
schedule.
These facts were learned on the
heels Of the ''unanimous" indorse-
Inent given the presidential can
didacy of Gov. Adlai Stevenson
by the AFL convention. Both
Gov. Stevenson and Gen. Eisen-
hover spoke at the Today con-
vention, which ended last night.
Through September 10 contri-
buttons made this year to the AL
political fund totaled only $751;
all. In the campaign two years
ago, when there was no presi-
Dental contest, the ALL raised
for political purposes more than
100000. Even that figure was
regarded as disappointingly small
It has been necessary for the
ALL to give help sparingly to its
friends in the primary elections
Even so, expenses have nearly
matched contributions, and there
was only SIT, 800 in the bank the
first Of the month. $1,000 more
than on January ]. Expense fol
Embarrassing alone total $23, 900
Only $4,000 has been taken ir
since the Democratic convention
In July.
The Endorsement Of Gov
Stevenson by the AFL broke
tradition. This was the list con-
vention and never before had the
ALL. delegates Endorsed any
presidential candidate, although in
recent years they have taken
active parts in many lesser cam
paigns.
The convention unanimously
reelected 79-year-old President
William Green to his 29th term
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES George Meany
and the Is vice presidents also
were reelected without opposi-
ton. The vice presidents were
elected en- maSse. This brought
q protest from one delegate, who
questioned the democracy" Of the
action.
A resolution calling for new
merger talks with the CIO also
passed unanimously. In discuss
ing that motion, Mr.. Meany said
the AFL would be glad to talk at
any time with John L. Lewis
United Mine Workers about re.
afflliation with. the Federation
Mr.. Lewis broke with the AFI
the last time in 1947.

ings in the struggle against
communism and other forces.
It is therefore a matter beyond
curiosity that suggests some
knowledge of the church, her
teachings, and the popes WHIT
have guided her destinies.
The author is a Protestant
newspaperman, stationed for
many years in Rome. who comes
to his subject with critical but
not unsympathetic eyes. He adj
mits some anti Catholic bias,
derived from Presbyterian fore
bears, but his long professional
association with the Vatican
and his personal friendship
and admiration for Pope Plus
XII prevents his study from
weighing is unfairly.
If the reviewer has a quarrel
with the volume, it stems largely
from the somewhat cursory
treatment accorded the popes.
For the person familiar with
Roman Catholic history, the two
chapters allotted are SUFFICIENT.
But others would appreciate q
little more knowledge of the
popes preceding Plus XII, both
as human beings and as heads
Of the church.
This criticism is to, cavil at
a minor flaw in an otherwise
most satisfactory book. The
authors early chapters are in
formative and interesting. His
treatment of Eugenio Pacelli,
both before and since becoming
Pope. is revealing and appeal
ing. The chapters on the papacy
and world order. fascism, COM
munism and American democ-
racy are worthwhile reading
for all.
The style is most readable.
The authors technique of break
ing up each chapter into sub
divisions helps to clarity the
numerous points without losing
their relationship to a completed
whole. This is a volume Cath
ole and non-Catholic should
own.

The Cry Is Peace

Soviet propaganda cries peace
when it means war. Of its own
subtle kind. This is the thesis
Of Mr.. Budenz' new book. The
former Communist editor, now
a faculty member Of Fordham
University, points out that
Russia has been able in the
years since the big war to take
many millions of aliens into
her slave state without firing a
shot. Diplomacy, propaganda,
espionage and secret mis-
sions are more effective weap-
ons in Stalin's peculiar warfare
than planes or artillery, the
author points out.
The road to peace, he says,
"does not lie only through pre-
paredness and gifts for the re-
habilitation of other nations"
He adds: "The Marshall Plan
did much to revive Europe. but
its effect will be largely dissi-
pated If it is not accompanied
by the real key to world peace:

this negative answer to an i'm
portant question by no means
indicates a negative PERSONAL
ity Mr.. Busch makes amply
clear in this biographical
sketch.
He also makes it clear that
it is completely in character for
Adlai Stevenson, though bred
in an illustrious family tradi-
dition of public service, to be-
little himself as presidential
timber. The Stevenson bent
for self-deprecation has been
shaped by perfectionism that
goads him to brood over the
smallest detail Of his admin
istration. It is, incidentally.
considered by students of polit-
ical science. as well as the
citizens Of Illinois. to be one of
the finest administrations that
that scandal-rocked State has
ever known.
Gov. Stevenson got in the
habit Of saying no to politicians
when he entered his first polit-
ical race in 1948. Indifferently
accepted by the professionals as
an amiable amateur-it was
supposed to be a Republican
year-he swept into Office some
$4,000 votes ahead Of Mr.. Tru-
man. From then on, there has
never been any question as to
who was boss. Stevenson played
hob with the lush patronage
system in his State and If his
reforms caused anguish to the
boys in the back room, they
have also made him such a
spectacular political asset that
the ranks are standing firm.
Disappointingly Thin.
Mr.. Busch's study, which is
by the way not authorized, is
disappointingly thin and poorly
organized. Most of the material
about Stevenson's character
and record has already been
publicized. Half of the book
is taken up with transcripts Of
the Governors outstanding
speeches and veto messages to
the Illinois Legislature. It also
includes his ringing defense of
the Korean war in a Foreign
Affairs" article. The greatest
service Mr.. Busch does is to
document Stevenson'S World
War II service as a world-rov-
ing trouble-shooter for Navy
Secretary Frank Knox and his
contributions to the nurturing
Of the U. N. in its early days.
Stevenson'S passionate interest
in foreign policy was given a
severe workout during those
months, and he was unques-
tionably one Of our most effec-
tive diplomatic advisers, both
suave and forceful, according to
Mr.. Busch.
The author spent some time
in the executive mansion in
Springfield by way of prepara-
tion. He was obviously capti-
waited by the literate. witty Gov
ernor, whose traits are so un-
expected in a successful politi-
clan, and impressed by the
efficiency and dedication Of his
staff. It is largely a concern
with this staff and the unfin-
ished work Of giving Illinois
more clean government that has
made the Governor so reluctant
to go on to greater things. But
Mr.. Busch thinks Stevenson
would bow to the will Of the
Democratic National Conven-
ton. He would never be q
draft-dodger. IN. MEG.

bright prospect and it was
feared the British feet would
intercept their landing. In the
story. Washington sends fake
orders to some Of his comman-
ders for an attack on New
York. AS planned, the orders
are captured by British spies
and the fleet. which already
was started for Connecticut, is

The romantic figure is Capt.

was captured at Charleston.
He has escaped the British in
New York and made his way
across the sound. He reports
to Maj. Tallmadge, who as
signs the young officer to an

tan Island. The narrative brings

Benedict Arnold. A warning
Is sent across the sound that
he is about to deliver West

the whole Continental defense,
to the British. Arnold is coun-
ter-warned and escapes, but
West Point is saved.
Ledyard has desperate ad-
ventures and a love affair

Is to be commended for making
the atmosphere of the era seem

way he achieves that is to avoid
the stilted speech with which
some historical novelists Stifle
reality. There isn't a "gadzook"
or an "'od's bodkin" in Mr.. Lam

the simple, clear English that
most people probably talked
172 years ago. After all, the
language has changed compar-
atively little since Elizabethan
times. And there's no reason for
making characters in novels

they lived a while back.
