The serenity Of Adlai Ste
venson Is not being increased
by the diverse advice he is get
ting from his large circle Of
intimates and admirers. This
does not concern the question
Of whether he should run
again as his party's presiden-
tial nominee. AL of his inti-
mates now agree that already
he is running as hard and fast
as he can.
The thing about which they
disagree is the best method Of
running. Quite a number Of
these urge that he must not
seem too eager an aspirant.
He should-at least until next
year-content himself with
making a few general speeches
which will strengthen his posi-
ton as the titular party leader
and leave the rest to Chairman
Butler and his other friends on
the national committee. Add
to this his acknowledged labor
boss and left-wing support
and he will not have to lift q
hand to get the nomination.
A convincing draft setup thus
will be in operation before the
convention meets and an i'm
pressive sentiment. through
committee propaganda. devel-
oped.
COyness Is Dangerous
This seems reasonable
enough but there are q num-
ber of strong dissenters among
the "intimates." Some Of these
are very close. indeed, to Mr..
Stevenson. They include quite
q few men of more than ordi-
nary ability. The view Of these
is that the course above
sketched is the worst Mr..
Stevenson could follow. One Of
the dangers that threaten him
is that he will become even
more widely regarded as an
''irresolute intellectual" Any
thing savoring of coyness in
his attitude toward renomina-
ton tends to increase that
danger. 1t is a little odd to
hear the "eggheads" talk along
these lines but what they want
their hero to do now is to let
it be known fatty he wants
the denomination and intends
to fight for it. In addition
they urge him to take the lead
in cutting Mr.. Eisenhower
down TO size" and not leave
that vital task to such light
weights as his personal friends,
Chairman Paul Butler and ex-
Chairman Mitchell Of the ma
tional committee. In brief,
they urge the good Adlai to
show more force and less sub
tlety. He wants the nomina-
ton. Let him stop trying to
kid the voters about it--and
say SO. That is they say infin-
itely better than an arranged
draft" the phoniness of
which is sure to be apparent.
Another argument for the
unequivocal announcement of
his desire for the 1856 nomina-
ton, is that 1t would accelerate
a political decision one way Or
another by the President. If
Mr.. Eisenhower continues to
conceal his decision 1t will tend
to put him on the defensive
and If he reveals 1t, it will be
easier to assail him person.

THE GAME or POLITICS
Stevenson Willing, but Indefinite
BY FRANK r. KENT

soning viii persuade Mr.. Ste
venson and that his coyness
will have been discarded be-
fore this piece Is printed. The
trouble is that Mr.. Stevenson
personally likes the subtle way
better than the straight-for-
ward way. If he takes the ad-
vice Of his "egghead" init
mates 1t will be because they
have prodded him into 1t. The
other way is more in keeping
with his character. When he
has attempted to be bold and
unequivocal in the past the
results have not been so good.
For example. when he first re-
turned from Africa he an
swered q question about the
administrations handling Of
the antipolio vaccine by say
ing that seems to be the big
gest Of all messes."
"Artful Dodger" Possibility
In o few days 1t was shown
that Mr.. Stevenson did not
know what he was talking
about and that the mess"
had been Strengthened out
under the advice and with the
support Of the top scientists
and doctors in the country.
Nothing more has been heard
from Mr.. Stevenson on this
subject, though some Of his
friends continue to fire futilely
along this line. It was the
same way on the Dixon-Yates
issue and the question Of
whether ex-Gov. Byrnes Of
South Carolina. Gov. Shiver Of
Texas and Gov. Kennon Of
Louisiana should be allowed
to take their seats II their
States send them to the next
national convention. As .
fiatfooted candidtte Mr.. Ste
venson would have to say
where he stands on these
matters. If he does not,
he will be regarded as an
"artful dodger," which Is even
worse than an 'irresolute In
teliectual."
AS of now, it looks as though
Mr.. Stevenson can get q re-
nomination without q struggle
and without identifying him
self as fatty on one side or
. the other of any controversial
issue. As q matter Of fact it Is
not easy to forecast where Mr..
Stevenson will finally stand on
any issue. Probably he, himself,
does not know. In 1852 he
made. under heavy pressure,
a rather spectacular flop on
the Taft Hartley Act. and It is
not likely he will make any
important political decision
this time without the advice
of his two most powerful sup
porters-George Meany, head
Of the AFL, and Walter Reu-
ther, head of the CLIO. The
Messrs. Reuther and Meany,
this time as in 1852, are Mr..
Stevenson's most important
hackers. Without them he
could not be renominated and
without them he would stand
no chance Of being elected.
This state Of affairs his intel
lectual friends do not publicly
admit, but every clear headed
politician knows 1t to be true.
It is one Of those basic facts
upon which voters generally
could profltably ponder.
