Kefouver and Horrimon
Struggle Expected Here

An old hattle-between un-
announced but likely Democratic
presidential candidates Kefauver
and Hartmann appears a pos
sibility when District Democrats
go to the polls seven months
from now to pick a national
committeeman and delegates to
the national convention.
That situation developed to-
day in the scramble to fill the
shoes of Melvin D. Hildreth, who
has announced he will retire
next year as Democratic ma
tional committeeman.
Forces supporting Senator
Kefauver. Democrat Of Tennes-
see. said today they are Every
much interested" in who heads
the District Committee.
Dudley Mentioned
I'VE have no particular can
didate In view" a spokesman for
the Kefauyer forces said. at is
very possible. however, that we
will have q candidate for COM
here next year"
There were unconfirmed re-
ports. meantime, that Tilford e.
Dudley. q worker for W.. Averell
Hartman in 1852. would be a
candidate to step up one notch
In the Democratic Central Com
mittee here. He now is alternate
national committeeman under
Mr.. Hildreth.
Mr.. Dudley was out Of town
and could not be reached for
comment. A local lawyer, he is
assistant director of the CIO
Political Action Committee.
Confusing the muddy local
picture even further was Gov,
Harriman's statement q few days
ago that he Is mot committed
TO support Adlah Stevenson for
the Democratic nomination.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-10-13

This was interpreted by some to
mean he will be a candidate
himself.
j. C. Turner. secretary of the
Maryland State and District
Federation of Labor and acting
president of the newly formed
District Stevenson-f for President
Club, appeared the most definite
candidate for Mr.. Hildreth's job.
Still Undecided.
II think I would hike to be
committeeman" he said. "But
/ just haven't made up my mind. y
A. L. Wheeler. city Democratic
chairman. has announced he
wiz support Mr.. Turner.
mfr. Turner is definitely a
candidate and / viii definitely
surport him." Mr.. Wheeler said.
F. Joseph Donohue. former
District Commissioner. also has
expressed interest in the job, but
wants to make sure he has sup
port Of other Democrats before
he decides.
Others Mentioned
Others mentioned as possible
candidates include Gerhard p.
van Arkel. manager Of Senator
Kefauyer's campaign here in
1852, and Joseph L. Rauh, r.,
national chairman of Americans
for Democratic Action and man
ager Of Gov. Harriman's CAM
paign in the District primary
three years ago.
In that primary Gov. Harri-
man won and was supported by
the District delegations six votes
on two ballots In the national
convention. The District eroup
switched to Mr.. Stevenson on the
third ballot.
Mr.. Rauh has indicated that
he would support Mr.. Dudley, If
the latter is interested.

The newspapers noted that q

Russia'S atomic stockpile now
may be slightly less than half Of
the United States. but her pro-
duction rate Is expanding swiftly.
The USSR, which had no nu-
clear explosive until 1949, could
attain parity in atomic tonnage
by 1859. tNuclear tonnage is
measured by the force Of an ex-
ploSion, rated In thousands or
millions of tons of TNT)
This estimate is based on
widely diversified pieces Of in
formation reaching Washington,
including the factor of the re-
cent hydrogen test explosion in
the Soviet Union.
Russia may not wait for parity,
however, if her intentions are
hostile.
Could Chance Strike
II and when Soviet strategists
come to believe that they have
enough bombers available to get
through air defenses in the West
ern hemisphere and Europe and
strike one massive. conclusive
blow. there is always the posi-
bility they may try it.
There is another factor that
nuclear strategists use in their
computations: An estimate of
the ability to absorb an atomic
strike and still retain enough
force to hit back. American mill
tary leaders believe the United
States has this capacity.
