Mrs. Alexander Halves Heads Drive to

Chicago convention, also was on
hand for yesterdays fund kickoff.
She was Miss Grace Tully, long
time secretary to the late Presi-
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt. and
one of the chief tub thumpers for
Averell Hartman for the Demo-
cratic nomination.
Busy most of the summer wind
ing up loose ends of the Harri-
man campaign, Miss Tully last
week was named executive direc-
tor of the District Stevenson
Sparkman club.
OF Gov. Stevenson she had this
to say: Il think he is wonderful.
I really do. He is a man of real
stature. The more I hear him
the more impressed I am"
Mrs. Howes Heods Fund Drive
Head of the Democrats SIS fund
drive is Mrs. Alexander Halves.
socially prominent wife of Dis
trict lawyer and the mother of
four children, Harriet, II; Susan,
Is; Matt, IL, and Sandy, 5. The
two girls attend Madeira School.
where the former is head of the
day student council. Matt is
president of his class at st.
Adams, while Sandy attends Po-
tomac School kindergarten.
A member of the board of the
Junior League and a Red Cross
Nurses Aide, both during the war
years, Mrs. Halves in recent years
has been devoting three days a
week to teaching at the Remedial
Education Center.
She, too, was active on behalf
of Averell Hartman before the
convention, but prior to that had
not done any political work for
the Democrats.
She had been active in the
League of. Women Voters in New
York before her 1884 marriage to
Mr.. Halves, however, and both of
them have worked on the COM
mittee which is seeking to get
suffrage for District citizens.
It was this that led her into
the Hartman campaign, rounding
up votes for him in the District
primary.
1T was the only thing I could
do here politically, where people
can't vote in the general election"
she explained yesterday.
Mrs. Halves likes Gov. Steven
son because "he is intelligent, he
thinks his own policies through
and isn't going to be controlled by
anybody else. and If he thinks
there Is anything to clean up he
will be able to clean it up.
Need Volunteers
Mrs. Halves has more than
$500 volunteers out this week col

but could use many more, she says.
The majority of the collectors are
women, she added "but this is
simply because women are more
likely to have the hours free to do
the work. Men are most welcome"
Most of the solicitations will be
done over the phone or by ringing
doorbells. but on Saturday booths
will be located at several strate-

Society News:

Nancy Kefauver re-emerged yes
terday on the political scene, from
which she has been absent after
the Democratic national conven-
ton in Chicago in July.
The glamorous wife of Senator
Kefauver showed up at the Dis
trict Stevenson-Sparkman Club,
1408 New York avenue, to help
kick off the clubs drive to collect
SIS apiece from several thousand
District residents.
The club hopes to raise 100000
in the District in the brief blitz
drive, which officially gets under
way today and will conclude next
Wednesday evening.
It is part of a Nationwide drive
which was thought up by Beard
sley Ruml. finance chairman Of
the Democratic National Commit
tee. Ruml's idea was that it would
be more desirable for a political
party to get relatively small con-
tributionS from many thousands
of people instead of having to A.
nance it's activities by tapping
relatively few wealthy individuals
for large sums.
Money in Good Spirits
Mrs. Kefauver, whose husband
was one of the chief contenders
for the prize Gov. Adlai Stevenson
won-the Democratic nomination
appears to have recovered from
any disappointment she may have
felt at the outcome Of the conven-
ton.
Her children's reaction, when
she and the Senator reached their
Tennessee home after the conven-
ton, was summed up by young
Linda, 10, who said: isn't it won
derful! Now we don't have to
novel"
Recently back from Europe,
where the Senator was a delegate
to an international convention,
Mrs. Kefauver is pert and pretty
as ever. She will be here until
about the middle of the month,
holding the fort at home in the
absence of her English nursemaid,
who is home on vacation, she said.
Then she plans to join the Sem
ator, who is making speeches
around the country for the Ste
venson-Sparkman ticket.
AS for her own political feelings,
she declared: II think we are very
lucky to have such an excellent
candidate as Adlai Stevenson. I
think most Democrats appreciate
that fact"
Scotch-born Mrs. Kefauver said
she and the Senator didn't get up
to her family home in Glasgow
during the trip, but "the whole
family came down to London, and
we had wonderful reunion"
She was astoniShed to discover
that the reams of publicity she
had received before the conven-
ton had penetrated overseas,
she said, with the result that the
British press showed a lively curl
oSity on her arrival.
"They looked on me as a home
town girl" she said. "They asked
much the same questions reporters
asked in this country, about my
family, especially the children.
They wanted me to compare cam
paigning in the two countries, but
of course I couldn't. because I've
never campaigned in Britain. I
told them it was pretty rugged in
America"
Most Of the British stories
wound up by saying she had
changed very little" which she
decided was as good an accolade
as any.

Washington is her choice for

Picking Eisenhower Successor
Presents Thorny Problems

Therefore either Mr.. Lovett or
Mr.. Truman could upset what
ever the Joint Chiefs of Stan
wanted.
The State Department expects
that the other NATO countries
will be heard from about April %.
There is to be a meeting Of NATO
representatives in Paris at that
time and the organizations secre-
tary-Lord Ismay of Britain-is
responsible for placing before the
Nations a notice that Gen. Eisen-
hover has resigned and his place
must be filled.
The council can then, at leasS
theoretically. ask that an Ameri-

specify a particular American, or
call for a national Of another
country.
In actual fact, it is expected the
council simply will request the
United States to name another
commander. However. premature
decision here on an individual
could prove embarrassing if senti-
ment developed between now and
April % among Allied govern
Imsnts for some other individual.
Korea COmplicates Issue.
AS for Gen. Ridgway, the high
command here would like to avoid
moving him while the truce
negotiations are still on. In other
words, they would be happier
about taking him out of Korea If
they knew he would be leaving
latter an arlnistice was assured.
On the other hand, with an
early armistice probable, accord
ing to some estimates, and with
Japanese occupation due to end
April %, the military leaders
would like to have an important
post to transfer the general to in
the near future. 1t does not want
to leave him in Japan exercising
less authority than he has had
over the U. N. fighting force and
the japanese occupation.

the steel mills was called bureau
cratic trespassing" by Senator
Ellender, Democrat, of Louisiana,
last night, as the Senate prepared
to take a test vote on the issue
Monday.
Opponents of the Presidents
action believe they have the votes
to attach a rider to the pending
third supplemental money bill,
barring use of any funds in that
bill for enforcement of the seizure
lorder. ...... .- ....-..-.,
On that bill alone, however, the
rider would have little effect.
since it would apply only to a
small part of the Commerce
Departments appropriations. The
President placed the steel situa-
ton under Commerce Secretary
Sawyer.
Tw0-thirds Vote Needed.
The real fight in the Senate
Monday will come on broader
amendment to prevent the Presi-
dent from using any of the funds
appropriated for this fiscal year
to carry out a plant seizure order.
To clear the legislative path for
this amendment, however, the
Republicans must first suspend
Senate rules. and that will require
a two-thirds vote.
A substantial number of Demo-
Gratis are expected to support the
Republican motion, but it was not
certain last night they will muster
two thirds. .
Impeachment Discussed. ;,
Meanwhile, Representative Ben
der, Republican. of Ohio yesterday
proposed the appointment of a
bipartisan House committee to
explore fully the possibility of
bringing successful impeachment
proceedings" against President
Truman.
Mr.. Bender said in a statement
that seizure of the steel industry
and the Presidents remarks i'm
plying that he has authority to
take over newspapers had raised
"a constitutional question of the
utmost gravity"
MFR. Bender is backer of Sena-
tor Taft of Ohio, who said in Bos-
ton Thursday that members of
Congress should consider i'm
peachment of MIR. Truman.
Mundt Doubts Action.
Senator Mundt, Republican. of
South Dakota. predicted that a
blast Mr.. Truman delivered at
Congress Friday would lead to re-
newed demands for his impeach-
ment.
Although Senator Mundt pre-
dicted an impeachment move, he
told reporter he doubts it will
get past the stage of introduction
of a resolution in the House bring
ling charges against Mr.. Truman,
plus a lot of pretty stormy de-
BATE
Il don't think the Senate ever
will sit in Judgment on Harry
Truman on charges voted by the
House in an impeachment case" "
the Senator told a reporter. But
his recent actions surely will bring
a stronger move to impeach the
President, and of course all things
are possible"

way the assignment would go.
Gen. Ridgway is a full general
with an excellent record; Gen.
Gruenther has an excellent record
also but lacks Gen. RidgWay'S
command experience.
So far, there has been no formal
consultation with Allied govern
Iments. It may very well be, how
ever, that there have been in
formal discussions among diplo-
mats at Paris, where permanent
headquarters for the North At
Ilantic Treaty Organization is
being organized.

Phone Peace Nears
As InstaIIers SefIe;
Picketing Still on Here

A Nationwide strike Of tele-
phone workers apparently was
near settlement today. after a
compromise agreement on wages.
Local pickets, however, were ex-
pected to resume "hit-and-run"
tactics in one of two smaller dis
putes.
The conditions of a wage in
crease were decided on in New
York yesterday between spokes-
men for some 10000 equipment
installers and the Western Elec-
trio Co., manufacturing affiliate
of the Bell Telephone System.
Negotiators remained in session
in New York in an effort to end
a walk-out of 5000 Western Elec-
trio statesmen. distributors and
warehousemen. They, like the in
stallers. are members of the CIO
Communication Workers of America.
Picketing to Continue Here.
Thomas Collins of Washington,
president Of the distributors local,
said last night that pickets would
resume activities here pending a
settlement. The local has 237
members; the installers have more
than 200.
A renewal Of picketing at the
Western Electric warehouse, I'LL
North Capitol street, may mean
the installers, with their strike
settled, will refuse to cross the
lines tomorrow, a union Spokes-
man said.
The 11-day-old strike has
threatened telephone service in
the District and 43 States. While
the Chesapeake & Potomac Tele-
phone Co. was not a party to the
wage dispute, many of the COM
pany's operators refused to cross
picket lines thrown around the
company's installations.
! The company was able to main
tain normal service through
use of supervisory personnel.
Win 31.1 Cent Increases.
The new pact with. the installers
is subject to ratification by the
union membership. It provides
a basic average wage increase of
14.1 cents an hour and fringe"
benefits of II cents. The union
ha dasked hour wage
increase and unspecified fringe
benefits. -
Demands of the other strikers
were similar. Wages under the
old contracts averaged from $1.64
to SLIT an hour.
A. T. Jones, CWA vice president
and chief negotiator, said the in
stallers throughout the country
were removing picket lines yester-
day.

Top military leaders are finding
the decision ON q successor to
Gen. Eisenhower extraordinarily
difficult-eyen though they are re-

Officials said yesterday one of
the complications in making a

ing the United Nations side OF an

Another difficulty Is the fact
that Gen. EisenhoWer's present
chief of staff in the North Atlantic
alliance command in Europe
Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther-has
powerful supporters as Gen. 'Eisen-
hower's successor. These support
ers include Gen. Eisenhower, him
self, members of Congress and
men in the Pentagon.
Allies Have Voice, Too.
A third factor is that 13 other
nations have a voice in the deci-
sion and they have not been
officially heard from yet. They
are Americas allies in the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization, all
of whom Gen. Eisenhower has
served as commander of American
and NATO forces in Europe.
Gen. Eisenhower is due home
by June /. a few weeks before his
campaign for the Republican
presidential nomination reaches
it's climax in that party's national
convention. Presumably, there.
