Silent Vote in the Living Rooms
Stevenson Is TopRonk Performer Radio and Teevision
And His Speeches Are lllst1s lnterestino Raod

To paraphrase and twist the
remark Of the Duke Of Yelling
ton about the battle Of Water
loo having been won on the
playing fields Of Elton, there is
the possibility that this presi-
dental election may not be won
at the whistle stops" made IA
nous by such diverse political
character actors as Harry Tru-
man, Bob Taft and Estes Ke-
fauver.
It may be won In the living
rooms of America.
Democrats, at least, are bank
ing heavily on that front. They
are counting for gradual, cu-
mulative effect on Gov. Adlai
Stevenson'S skillful use Of q
combination Of media-the ra-
dio used so successfully by
Franklin D. Roosevelt with his
my friends: the newest Of all,
television, and q very ancient
but recently somewhat neglected
art-reading.
Folks can do all this at home,
sitting down.
Democrats profess therefore,
whether whistling in the dark or
not, that they are not discour-
aged because Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower has been drawing
bigger crowds at the whistle
stops" than has Gov. Stevenson
in his fewer. though still COM
parable. appearances at the
water towers.
They have found out, to their
delight. that the Governor IS .
top rank performer on radio and
television. with o style all his
own and unique for politician.
and, beyond that. his speeches
are just as entertaining to read.
This all developed, happily.
out Of stern necessity.
When he was nominated,
party managers recognized q
handicap in that the Governor
was little known beyond his own
State. Accordingly, they mapped
out q campaign designed to
make him known as quickly as
possible. which was to get him on
radio and television at every OPP
portunity so that his voice and
face and character could become
familiar. That accounts for the

venson winning the radio and

unable to project his personality
through these media. The gem
eral, however. wins the whistle
stop" decision. Everybody is
becoming an expert on these
matters. It's a new sort Of
parlor game that doesn't hurt

noted since the expense account

Doris Fleeson:

Senator Richard Nixon who
cannot at this point be described
as fortunes favorite got at least
one good break on the Inflated
campaign trip he has inter-
Tupted to address the country.
It Is that he persuaded Will
liam p. Rogers, counsel for. the
Senate Investigating Committee
during some Of its most fruitful
inquiries, to accompany him West
and help him with the COR
ruption- Communist issues which
were to be his special field.
Mr.. Rogers learned about the
influence business when he de- +.
veloped the case Of Gen.
Benny Myers who was later sent
to Jail. He explored Commu-
nism in Government when he
developed the story-with scru-
pulouS fairness - of William.

ment employe, whose troubles
with that issue are not over.
Right now. however. 1t is the
talent he displayed more re-
Gently Of which Senator Nixon
stands most in demand. It was
Mr.. Rogers who took on the
chore for the Eisenhower STRAIT
egists Of staging the Southern
delegate contests at Chicago to
create the maximum pro-Ike
effect on public opinion. Any
number Of Taft supporters will
testify to his skill.

its advantages in personal dis
comfort and upset daily routine
for the candidate, his staff and
newspapermen and radio and

about with him hither and
thither. There Is an aspect Of

But there Is not. There was,

Dovid Lownence:

A plan to spend about 81
million to influence the votes
of members Of Congress by re-.
warding them with financial
support in their campaigns for
reelection has been launched on
q wide scale by two national
labor organizations.
President Truman and At
torney General McGranery, who
have begun making q study Of
the Dana Smith Trust Fund for
Senator Nixon to see whether
any laws have been violated.
cannot In fairness fail to look
also into all phases Of the A.
nanciai influence being exerted
by other private organizations.
The issue is whether there is
an intent to influence or reward
q member Of Congress for voting
in favor Of or against specific
Items of legislation.
All the President and the At
torney General have to do to
discover a new field for study
Is to examine the statements
made public by the CLOS Po-
litical Action Committee and
by the AFL's League for Politi-
cal Education, in which they
now have fled with the
clerk Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives an accounting which
shows that since January or
this year the CLOS group has
spent $S12,351 and the AFL's
group has spent $119.198. 1t
has also been announced that
each organization will raise q
fund Of about 81 ,0O0, 900, or q
total Of 100000, Q large part
Of which will 60 to State and
local campaign committees and
hence does not need to be re-
ported to the House Of Repre-
sentatives.
After noting these expendi-
lures and plans to raise further
sums, the President and the At
torney General need only get

OF the House and Senate have

lation desired by the two ma

who have voted against spe-
cific items of legislation desired
by the same labor organiza-
lions.
Then the President and Attor-
ney General might read the list
Of contributions already made
to the campaigns for the Sem
ate and House Of those members
who have voted as the two ma
tional labor organizations de-
sired them to vote. Having done
this, the President and the At
torney General might take q
look at the U. s. criminal code
which says:
whoever shall promise. offer.
or give. or cause to be promised,
offered, or given. any money
to any member Of either

his continuance in office, or
