THE POLITICAL MILL
Kefouver Doesn't Scare Easily
BY GOULD LINCOLN

and his supporters have had
the field pretty much to them
selves. While Mr.. Stevenson
withheld formal announce
ment Of his candidacy. his
friends let it be known there
was no doubt he'd run. The
big push to line up support for
Stevenson, therefore, has been
under way In all parts Of the
country. As Of today. he is far
out In front. When other can
didates get into the race par-
ticularly Senator Kefauver--
the picture may change.
The Tennessee Senator is q
firm believer In the primary
method Of testing voter senti-
ment for q presidential nofni-
nation. He is expected to enter
all. or nearly all. Of the presi-
dental preference primaries
which are to be held next
year in 18 States. Two Of the
earliest primaries are In New
Hampshire and Minnesota. Mr..
Stevenson has been invited to
enter the Minnesota primary,
and some time ago q move
nnent to get him into the
New Hampshire primary was
launched. II Mr.. Stevenson
enters the primaries and meets
Kefauver head on. and wins.
his candidacy win be inn
rnensely strengthened
On the other hand, II he
loses, II would be a terrific jolt
to his aspirations. IN New
Hampshire, in 1852. Kefauver
electrified the country by win
ming the presidential primary
against q slate Of delegates
committed to President Tru-
man. But in Minnesota. in
1852, Kefauver did not enter
the primary. Senator HUM
phrey Of Minnesota was rum
ming as a fayorite-son candi-
date. However. 10000 Ke-
fauver supporters took the
trouble to write his name on
primary ballots there. :
:
Backing Stevenson
Now, Senator Humphrey Is
backing Stevenson for the pres
idential nomination 100 per
cent. He and Coy. Freeman
and the whole Democratic
State Central Committee have
Joined In the invitation to
Stevenson to enter the Min
nesota primary. Senator Hum
phrey is confident that, with
such backing, Stevenson can
defeat any other candidate,
including Kefauyer.
Senator Kefauver has not
said what primaries he will
enter. However. in 1862 he
entered preference primaries
in number of States where
the odds seemed definitely
against him, bucking Demo-
cratic State organizations.
He is likely to do so again.
He doesn't scare easily. His
determination to 60 after. the
presidential nomination is the
first check to the Stevenson
band wagon movement.

Senator Estes Kefauver of
Tennessee viii run for the 1856
Democratic presidential nomi-
nation. HIS announcement win
formally be made within q
month, after he has had time
TO conclude investigation work
he has in hand. And so the
stage win be set for q contest
within the Democratic Party.
Adlai Stevenson. the party's
standard -bearer in 1852. is
making his announcement on

clined 10 reveal his decision,
q statement he win not run
would fiabbergast his sup
porters.
De Eapio Denies Push
The backstage candidate
continues TO be Gov. Averell
Hartman Of New York, who
win be always ready to pick up
the pieces. Carmine g. De
Sapio, Tanmany leader and
Democratic boss of New York,
has recently denied there is
any push on his part to line up
delegates for Hartman out
side Of New York. On the other
hand, he has said it Is too early
to predict what the national
convention delegates and the
country win be thinking about
In August. 1855, when the
party nominations win be
made.
incidentally. there Is q good
row in the making in the ranks
Of the New York Democrats
which is somewhat reminis-
cent Of the 1854 contest for the
gubernatorial nomination. In
that race. q determined effort
was made by old Roosevelt
New Dealers to win the nomi-
nation for Franklin D. Roose-
velt. jr. MIR. DeSapio. however.
was able to put across Harri-
man and then to elect him
Governor. Senator Lehman,
now q hacker Of Adlai Steven
son. supported Hartman for
the gubernatorial nomination.
A Stevenson organization has
been formed in New York, with
Thomas x. Finletter. former
Secretary of the Air Force and
platform chairman for Harri-
man last year one Of the
leaders.
AS the Stevenson movement
gets under way In New York,
there seems no intention of
trying to defeat Harriman's
right to be a ''favorite-son.
candidate and to have the big
94-strong delegation on the
first ballot in the national con-
vention. The effort is to line
up the New York delegates for
Stevenson thereafter. However,
there is always a chance that
bitter infighting win take place,
once the convention campaign
warns up. II it does, the fur

are not easily to be dislodged
from their controlling position.

Radiation and the World

In voting unanimously, SO to 0, for
worldwide study Of atomic radiation and
its effects on man, the United Nations
Political Committee has set In motion a
project that can do much to clear the
international air Of many lurid miscon-
ceptions and exaggerated fearsand Of
complacency as well.
The project sponsored originally by
the United States on the basis OF pro-
posal made by the Federation of Ameri-
can ScientistS-will be carried out by a
15-nation scientific committee. Among
other things, it viii evaluate the genetic
Implications of radioactivity unleashed
by test detonations of atomic hydrogen
weapons. Presumably, too. it viii seek
to estimate the degree Of hazard that
may be inherent in the development Of
nuclear power for nonmilitary purposes.
In all probability, like the similar in
yestigation being conducted by our Ma
tional Academy Of Sciences, the study
will confirm the assurances already of
fered by the medical and biological
experts of our Atomic Energy Commis-
sion. The assurances are (1) that the
OF thus far by Britain, Russia and the
United States has caused only an in
consequential increase in global radio
activity and (2) that the anticipated rate
of future tests and of peacetime nuclear
development does not seriously endanger
the reproductive health Of mankind
However, since these assurances have
come solely from American sources, they
have not had enough impact abroad TO
counter scare talk and correct gross exag-
gerations. So the U. N. study can hardly
fail TO serve good educational purpose
throughout the world. At very least, Its
findings (which are likely to receive
much wider publicity than those of the
Acc or even the National Academy of
Sciences should help to dispel undue
fears in areas where the problem Of
radiation is poorly understood or where
it has been misrepresented by propagan-
dists with political and theological axes
to grind.
But beyond that, and perhaps more
important, this project. promises to throw
new light on the question of whether or
not sharply accelerated H-bomb tests by
several powers, or development of peace
time nuclear energy at rate and on
scale now unanticipated, would consti-
tute major genetic menace to the
human race. The question is q highly
significant one, and the Aces experts
have themselves indicated that 1t calls
for the most thorough kind OF continuing
inquiry.
In such an inquiry. the U. Ms pro-
jected radiation committee can make an
important contribution by recruiting
some Of the worlds best scientific brains
to deal with the subject. The end result
is certain to be Illuminating. And 1t may
also prove to be much less than reassur-
ing In a number Of respects bearing upon
the atoms capacity for evil In an age
that has yet. to learn how to police Its
passions and stupidities.

Hamilton Remembered

A United States commission
for the celebration Of the
200th anniversary Of the birth
of Alexander Hamilton has re-
Gently been formed under the
Craftsmanship Of Senator Karl
z. Mundt. Memorials to WASH
tngtoi1, jefferson and Lincoln
$ abound. yet little has previous
ly been initiated by the Fed
eral Government to commem-
crate the great Hamilton as
a patriot. statesman or eman-
cipationist.
Representative Frederic r.
Coudert is vice chairman, and
Undersecretary Of the Treas
ury w. Randolph Burgess is
very appropriately secretary of
this commission to honor our
first Secretary Of the Treasury.
Director ]. Haryie Williams
has established his headquar-
ters In Washington. assisted
by competent stad.
The commission has recon-
mended TO Congress that the
booth anniversary Of Hamil-
tons birth be Signalized by
memorial meetings and exer-
cises throughout the year
1857, beginning on January
IL. These exercises win in
ciude q joint session Of Con-
gress. proclamations by State
Governors and appropriate
ceremonies In cities and COM
munities especially concerned
with the public achievements
OF Alexander Hamilton and
with the important events Of
his life In the struggle for the
establishment Of the Republic.
The commission has recon-
nnended activities In the field
Of education and public af-
fairs. as wen as preparation of
special publications and his
torical articles In popular
magazines. Hamilton win be
remembered by special ex-
hibits and displays through
out the Nation. Appropriate
stamps. special coins and
medals are planned for issue
on January II. 1857. and other
occasions in connection with
the Hamilton Bicentennial.
To achieve these purposes.
the commission will enlist the
cooperation Of Government
agencies and patriotic, pro-
fessional, business. and other
interested groups. The Ameri-
can Association for State and
Local History and the Manu-
script Society have already
established committees to
work with the commission.
Special advisory committees
have been established In ls
fields Of endeavor. Already
many leading men and women
and national organizations
have pledged cooperation and
support.
One OF the commissions
principal detectives is in the
way of achievement. Columbia
University, successor to Kings
College, Hamilton,s alma
mater. is undertaking to edit,
and the Columbia University
Press is undertaking to publish,
the papers Of Alexander Ham
ilton.
As one Of its initial actiyi-
ties to arouse public interest,
the commission will organize
and conduct a Nationwide
treasure troye" search for
letters. documents. manu-
scripts and other memorabilia
relating TO Alexander Hamil-
ton and his contemporaries.
Many important and valuable
historical materials have not
been discovered or have been
lost to view. Copies of all docu-
inents discovered will be made
available to the Library Of
Congress.
