would like, to preempt 1t is
Adlai Stevenson. It appeals TO
him as a personal conservative
and an intellectual. Now that
it is being presented as the
most practical course. he viii
be more than ever tempted
by IL.
Stevenson's problem Is that
as the front runner he Is and
will continue to be challenged
by Gov. Hartman and Sena-
tor Kefauver. both further
left Of center than he is. They
create pressures on him TO
take stands which he would
prefer to postpone or evade
at present.
Truman's presence in the
wings is another complicating
factor. The former President
has already popped out once
to bolster up Hartman and by
indirection warn Stevenson to
take more vigorous stands on
issues. Truman cannot choose
the next Democratic presiden-
tial nominee but he can veto
him, as all candidates are
aware.
Whether the man from In
dependence can resist an open
challenge to the proposed new
center is already being debated.
He is known to feel that the
middle of the road is no place
for Democrats. He believes
that johnson has operated the
Senate on the theory that
what's good for Texas is good
for the country. Truman dis
sents.

Two former Secretaries Of

Democratic Leaders Are Cool
To Ohioun's Lone Wolf Tactics

Once again the name Of the
arpiable and personable Gov.
Frank j. Lausche of Ohio Is
bobbing UP on the list Of pos
sible dark horse or compromise
candidates for the 1856 Demo-
cratic presidential nomination
If the convention should
break open into a brawl be-
tween the now leading con-
tenders, as well 1t might.
4. Now Gov. Lausche gets the
extra touch In a mild puff by
one Of the South's most inn
portant political leaders-Sen
ator Richard B, Russell Of
Georgia. He spoke Of the
Ohioan as q middle roader"
who might be a good candi-
date, though taking pains to
insist he Is not trying to start
a boom for the Governor who
now is In his fifth term In q
State sometimes called "the
mother Of Presidents" Sena-
tor Russell said he is unde-
cided yet about his personal
preference for the nomination.
Gov. Lausche's chief asset
is the vote-getting ability he
has demonstrated in Ohio.
For that reason his name gets
on the lists Of ''possibles' be-
tween conventions. But when
the convention comes along
he fades out. That's been going
on q long time now---he first
became Governor in 1916.
Why the "fade-out" at the
big show?
There are two reasons which
weigh heavily with practical
politicians involved ~ in the
code Of politics and (2) In the
problem Of the Democratic
Party In winning elections.
A. for the first. Frank

Lausche is known as a lone
operator in politics. and not q
team-player. Not only does he
show little interest In, or Coop
Grafton with. the State Demo-
cratic organization, but he has
never exerted himself on be-
half Of the national ticket and.
In such an influential State as
Ohio that Is important. In last
years congressional elections.
he was reserved. II not parsi-
monious, in his support for
Democratic Senator Tom Burke
who got beat by a very slim
margin by Republican George
Bender, then o member Of the
House Of Representatives here.
Gov. Lausche always had an
understanding with Republic
cans and the late Senator Taft
during the asceildancy OF the
latter and rejected Democratic
pleas that he challenge the Re-
publican Senator. He aban-
doned the Democratic candi-
date against Senator Taft In
the latter's 1850 race.
Gov. Lausche can afford TO
be a prima donna, as he is
politically. for he can get votes
always for himself, though he
never shares his influence with
other Democrats. In fact. 1t is
undoubtedly his avoidance Of
associations with his own party,
whereby he maintains a sort Of
independent political position,
that attracts many Republic
can voters who also flnd his
political philosophy eminently
satisfactory.
All Of this makes under
standable the lack Of real en-
thusiasrn among Democratic
leaders. State and national. in

NEW YORK, June 20 (R.-
Steel companies are worried
about the inflationary effect of
rising wages and prices" the
Iron Age, national Woodworking
weekly, said today.
steel wage negotiations get
down to the facts of life this
week." said the publication.
And they are just as tough as
they ever were. Before the
shouting is over, both sides will
be forced to take a tough COM
promise" e.
With steel wages expected to
go up about 10 or Is cents. an
hour, compensating price in
creases will average $3.50 a ton,
Iron Age estimated.
steel, labor and management
are not too far apart on their
ideas of what the final settle
ment will be-" it said. Both are
realistic enough to know that
original offers and demands are
just the opening gun for down
to-earth bargaining. But the
compromise will not come easy.
Both sides have their troubles"
Iron Age said the steel COM
panies know that President
David j. Mcdonald of the CIO
United Steelworkers will be
back for more next year. And
they also know that higher labor
costs can only be paid for by
higher prices"
In the current talks, the week
ly said, Mr.. Mcdonald will press
for all the traffic can bear be-
cause "he wants to outshine the
auto workers on wages, and he
has got internal political prob
lens that can be eased by con-
tlnuing success at the BARGAIN
ing table" Also, Iron Age de-
clared, this is his chance to
get a healthy wage boost with
out compromising on other in
terests; next year he'll have the
guaranteed annual wage. :"
Besides rising costs, Iron Age
said, steel producers also face
the necessity of financing an
other round of capacity expan-
sion. The industry realizes that
present capacity is not enough
to handle peak civilian require
ments with a safe cushion for
unexpected defense needs. The
current boom. based almost en-
tirely on civilian demand, has
forced near-capacity operations
without making an appreciable
dent in order backlogs."
