PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 12.-
Democratic leaders who gathered
here today for an Atlantic Coast
regional meeting painted a rosy
picture of their chances in the
1854 congressional elections.
Adlai E. Stevenson, the party's
1852 presidential candidate, said
the biggest problem at present
is the healing of intra-party
disputes such as exist between
the North and the South"
He made the statement at a
breakfast for members of the
Democratic Advisory Council
The former Illinois Governor told
the council, a Embarrassing group,
that progress was being made in
healing the disputes and COM
mented he would be glad to "do
anything I can to help the party"
Gives Political Forecast.
AS Mr.. Stevenson arrived last
night he gave the political wealth
er forecast for next year as fair
and warmer for the Democrats. "
His optimism was echoed by
other party StalWartS, including
Mayor David Lawrence of Pitts
burgh, Averell Hartman of New
York and William M. Boyle, for
mer Democratic National Com
mittee chairman.
Members of the Democratic
National Committee from across
the country were to join with
the Eastern State delegations
in a series of panel discussions
of specific problems today. But
the highlight of the gathering
will be a speech by Gov. Steven
son at a jefferson jackson ban
quet tonight.
Speech to Be Televised.
The speech of the 1852 Demo-
cratic presidential candidate,
starting at II pm, will be tele-
vised over CHS.
Veteran party workers who
arrived here last night were
more confident of winning con-
troll of the House, where all
435 members must be voted on,
than of the Senate, where only
a third of the incumbents must
face the voters.
A gain of three seats would
give the Democrats a majority
in the House. In the Senate.
they are only one seat shy of
a clear majority.
The hotel in which the con-
ferences are being held here
has taken on the atmosphere
Of a small-scale political con-
vention. In the main lobby
are huge portraits of former
President Truman. former Vice
President Barkley and Mr.. Ste
venson.
But the crowds outside on
Broad street remained engrossed
with their Christmas shopping.

Thomas D'Alesandro, is a Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor

The cases grew out of a wild
escapade last July when two

an uptown apartment obtained
for them by some young men
who picked them up on the
street.
16 Youths were Accused.

former member of the United

on the older girl.
OF the If youths, IL were
convicted and young D'Alesandro
was found not guilty by a jury
The other four are to be tried
in Juvenile Court.
Pollack, whose political favors
are sought by both Democrats
and Republicans, is accused o1
attempting to impede justice by
trying to influence the testimony
of two of the young men, one OF
whom subsequently contradicted
testimony of young D'Alesandro
At his trial last month. young
D'Alesandro testified he had
never seen the girls before and

U. N. Switches Tactics.
The U. N. Command abruptly
switched from interviews with
South Korean prisoners after
Red stalling tactics forced sus-
pension of the sessions for the
second straight day.
The unexpected Allied move
came as United States Envoy
Arthur Dean broke off negotia-
tions to set up a Korean peace
conference.
The U. N. Command asked to
interview six American prisoners
Monday after Gen. Thimayya
talked with them and reported
their agreement to attend ex-
planation sessions.
The Indian general said the
Americans and Briton imposed
one condition to which he agreed
that they be allowed to give
newsmen written statements af-
ter seeing eXplainers.
South Koreans Balk.
Gen. Thimayya called off ex-
plantations to South Korean
prisoners today after failing to
coax any of the 80 scheduled for
interviews to attend.
The Koreans insisted on the
right to make counter eXplana-
tionS to ROK perSuaders. They
also protested against being
hustled out of the explanation
tents by Indian guards who have
broken up sitdown strikes.
Asked if he personally believes
the prisoners need more time
to remove their doubts about
choosing where to go Gen.
Thimayya replied.
mo, I don't think they have
any doubts"
Interviews with American
prisoners will be conducted in
one tent rather than stimuli
taneously in five as permitted by
repatriation commission rules.
This would indicate that the six
prisoners will be called one at
time.
Mother Could Explain.
Gen. Thimayya said the u. N.
Command if it wishes could use
Mrs. Portia Howe of Alden.
Mimi, as an explainer or OBJ
server when her son, Pfc, Rich

Americans-appears for an in
terview.
Gen. Thimayya said he could
see no objection to Mrs. Howe
visiting her son outside the ex-
planation area if both COM
mands agree. However, the
U. N command has told Mrs.
Howe she cannot attend the ex-
plantations because it might lead
the Communists to demand that
relatives of the $4,000 unrepatri-
ated Reds visit them.

For $50 years the country lived
on numbering, but now the timber

A campaign for independence is
being carried on by the Peoples

so noisy and demands so many re-
forms that some Of the elements
loyal to Britain accuse it of coming
under Communist influence. But
they find ii difficult to back up the
charge.
The PUP hopes TO make itself
