Actually. 1t is in the field Of foreign
policy that Gov. Stevenson makes his
strongest (if wholly uncalculated)
bid for the Endorsement Of President
Truman. who is notoriously anxious
to have history vindicate his activities
in that field. The President so far
has found no more articulate cham

The great danger to the free world.

fatigue. disintegration, half loyalty,

central convictions to which Western
man has hitherto pledged allegiance.
When freedom didn't exist. it. too,
was fighting faith that men would
die for. But now that it is old, it
looks little pale and gentle and
lacks the appeal to the militant ir-
rational sentiments once mobilized
by conquering religions and now by
imperial communism. It must awake
again the emotionalism. the con-
fidence. the defiant faith Of resolute
breed of men to whom liberty and
justice mean something positive every
day-not just when war has reduced
us to the stark issue Of Self-preServa-

1t wasn't just the advent Of spring
that caused disheartened Democrats
to look up q little last week. Once
again they thought they discerned
on the Western horizon the out
line Of q Lochinvar. Thanks to
story in the st. Louis Dispatch,
new rumors arose that Harry Tru-
man was about to step aside in favor
Of the able. eloquent and utterly re-

E. Stevenson.
Gov. Stevenson, as he has before,
pooh-poohed the White House talk,
and emphasized again that he was
running for Governor. But on Capt.

dors buzzed with tales of Stevenson's

unkind word to say about Adlai Ste
venSon. The worst comment was that
not enough people knew what spec

Democrats like Governors !.
The Democratic Party is tradition
ally fond of Governors as presiden-
tial candidates. Moreover, Gov. Ste

Third. such militant progressives
as Senators Humphrey and McMa-
hon have spoken of his superior
qualifications for the candidacy
and his excellent chances. Fourth, he
is a highly literate intellectual whom
the party bosses eye with genuine
affection.
Possibly the politicos' love for him
stems from the fact that Gov. Ste

There is no wonder in all nature

Aluminium SHORTAGE
Slows Soviet Planes

FRANKFORT, Aug. 81 (NANA-
Kemnews) Russia is reported to
be encountering serious shortages
lof aluminium in her drive to ex-

American intelligence sources
said that the latest information
from inside Russia indicates that
the strain on simultaneously
trying to expand the Red Force,
replace losses by the Chinese Com
Imunist Air Force and make token
plane deliveries to the reborn
satellite air forces. is beginning
to strain the Soviet economy.
Russia produced approximately
$50, 900 short tons of aluminium
last year and frantic efforts are
being made to increase this out
put. Technicians have been sent
into the satellite states to spur
aluminium production there.
Hungary produced somewhat
under 10000 short tons of alum
inum last year. Now the Hun
garianS have been ordered to
speed up the output of bauvite
ore to around 100000 short tons,
or so per cent over last years ore
production.
More than half Of Hungary's
bauxite ore is exported to Rus
Isia. enabling her to produce ap-
Iproximately 20 per cent more
aluminium than otherwise would
be possible.

Four United Fruit Ships

the United Fruit Co.'S large pas
senger ships each with accommo-

converted to express freighters
carrying only IL passengers, the
company announced yesterday
The reason is the greater need for

it was said.
The Great White Fleet of the
company, however. will continue
in the cruise service with the two
remaining large passenger vessels,
sailing fortnightly from New
Orleans. the company said, adding
that it will maintain the present
flow of cargo to and from Middle

when completed will provide

Ike Is Oldest COP Nominee In History
By George R. Alexander AP News Feature Writer

WASHINGTON, (P) - It's g fact-that Gen. Eisenhower is the oldest Republican presidential nominee in the party's history He will be 62 October IA. Oldest of the COP standard bearers to date was Benjamin Harrison, who was 58 when nominated for a second term in 1892.
 Vice President Barkley is the oldest potential nominee and President of them all. The Ken tuckian, who has been in govern ment service since Woodrow Will sons first term, will be 75 on Nov. 24.
 If President Truman had de- cided to contend for and won re- nomination, he would have been the oldest nominee in the history of the major parties. He will be 69 next May 8.
 The oldest man ever to be presi- dent was William Henry Harri- son, Whig, who became 68 less than a month before his inaugu- ration. Harrison died exactly one month after his inauguration in 1841.
 Four contenders for the Demo- cratic nomination this year are we'll under 60. Senator Russell of Georgia is 54; Senator Kefauver of Tennessee AS; Governor Steven son of Illinois g, and Senator Kerr of Oklahoma 55.
 Youngest of all the presidents was Theodore Roosevelt. He was 42 when he stepped up from the vice presidency after the assassi- nation of President Mckinley in 1901.
 Youngest of all the major party nominees was William Jennings Bryan, the Democratic selection in 1896. Bryan was 36 when his Gross of Gold" speech stampeded the Democratic convention in Chicago.
