Stevenson Hits
Barred Secrets

NEW YORK, June 80 (R.-
Adlai E. Stevenson Joined other
Democrats today in criticizlng
the Eisenhower administration
for giving a newspaper reporter
access to the minutes of the top
level cabinet meetings so he could
write a book about the President.
Mr.. Stevenson, the unsuccesS-
full Democratic presidential can
didate IN 1852 and candidate
for the nomination again, said
the action was further evidence
Of the administrators reliance
on advertising and Dublic rela-
tons techniques."
He made the remark as he was
about to board a plane for Chi
cago after series of meetings
here with New York State sup
porters of his candidacy.
Mr.. Stevenson was referring to
the book, Eisenhower, the In
side Story" by Robert j. Dono-
van, Washington correspondent
of the New York Herald Tri-
bune. The book contains nu-
merous references to what trans
pired at cabinet sessions and
other meetings of presidential
advisers.
The books publication brought
demand from Senator Nc
Clellan, Democrat of Arkansas,
chairman of the Senate Investi-
cations Subcommittee. that the
White House explain how Mr..
Donovan got copies more Sc
cret" than some which the ad-
ministration has withheld from
Congress.
AS Mr.. Stevenson rushed for
his plane he said he would not
make the choice of running
mate if he is nominated for
President.

AirForceFunds
Won'tBeSpent
BY The Associated Press

Senator Ellender, Democrat OF
Louisiana, predicted last night
that none of the extra Air Force
funds voted by Congress will be
spent during the next year.
Senator Chavez, Democrat OF
New Mexico, who helped push
the increase through the Senate
agreed in an interview that the
additional funds may not be
used.
The $34 CSC. 727 900 defense
money bill awaiting President
Eisenhower's signature carries
S792 million more for the Air
Force than Mr.. Eisenhower and
Secretary of Defense Wilson said
was needed.
Senator Ellender. one of the
few Senate Democrats who bat
tied the air funds increase, said
IN a radio talk that defense
officials told Senators almost
point blank that even if the ad-
ditional funds were appropriated
they would not be spent during
this fiscal year"
The extra money would mere
ly be carried over into the next
year" Senator Ellender ex-
planned. thus further increasing
the already huge amounts of
money the Armed Forces have
on hand unspent and not even
obligated from appropriations
made last year and years before
that"
He said the Armed Forces now
have S12.5 billion in unspent
funds and this will increase 81
billion during the next IL
months.
II Air Force leaders decide
they need additional aircraft
during the next year. Senator
Ellender said they could buy
them with unused funds with
out the Congress appropriating
them one thin dime"
Senate sponsors of the added
air funds will resume public
questioning of Secretary of De-
Tense Wilson Monday.
Accompanied by top civilian
and military heads of all the
armed services. Secretary Wilson
defended the Eisenhower mill
tary budgets and policies Friday
and agreed to return Monday.
He is appearing before a spe-
cial air power investigation di-
rected by Senator Symington,
Democrat of Missouri.

DIES MONIES, June 30 (P).-
Gov. Averell Hartman. in 9
series of vote-hunting sessions
with Iowa Democrats, asserted
today that President Eisenhower
sis not qualified for the presi-
dency"
He said the President does not
understand either the farm
problem nor the critical factors
in the cold war.
He hasn't read a book" the
New York governor said. He
doesn't read the papers. He
doesn't read anything except
what they put before him. So. he
just doesn't know what's going
on.
He was a great soldier, but he
is not qualified for the presi-
dency."
Visiting Three States
Gov. Hartman is on a three
day tour of Iowa, North Dakota
and Minnesota in search of sup
port from national convention
delegates for his bid for the
Democratic presidential nomina-
ton.
1t was a sweltering day.
Nevertheless. Gov. Hartman
attracted fair sized crowds and
he appeared to be making a good
impression generally.
Iowa political observers believe
Adlai Stevenson at this point is
the favorite of most of the dele
gates. Senator Kefauver. Demo-
crat of Tennessee, also has a
block of hackers. they said. They
described the overall situation
today as fluid"
The States 48 delegates, each
with one-half vote, go to the
convention uninstructed.
Gov. Hartman breakfaSted
and spent the morning with IL
delegates and nine alternateS in
Iowa City. Spectators quickly
overf1owed the ballroom and
stood leaning against the walls
during his meeting.
His Attack Sharp
The Governor asked and
answered questions.
1t was during these converse
lions that he attacked Mr..
Eisenhower sharply on matters
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-07-01

of chance Mr.. Eisenhower might

G. o. P. national convention
went so far as to suggest a list
of potential nominees. He men,
toned first, Mr.. Nixon, and
added the names of Gov. Hertel
and former Gov. Thomas E
Dewey of New York. Gov. Lam
GLE also said he believed that
the Republicans could elect a
President even if Mr.. Eisen-
hover is not the candidate.
President Hard to Beat
Democratic Governors attend
ing the conference. in the main
also expressed a belief that Mr.
Eisenhower will be the Repub-
lican nominee. And several said
they doubted, or did not believe
that Mr., Eisenhower could be
defeated today in their home
States. What they hope is that
conditions will change in the
next few months. They ex-
Republican presidential nominee
pressed confidence any other
would be defeated.
Gov. Hartman of New York
predicted Mr.. Eisenhower will

the Democratic nomination him.
self. He has been in the Midwest
tins week end seeking support
The Hartman strategy is to
convince the Democrats that
Aolai Stevenson would be a
weaker candidate against Mr.. Eli
senhower. indeed that Mr.. Ste
venSon cannot WIN How effective
this will be is a question. Sen
ator Kefauver of Tennessee
tried it in his race against Mr..
Stevenson for the California
delegation to the Democratic
National Convention.
If by any chance Mr.. Essen
hover should take himself out of
the picture, the race for the
Democratic nomination would
grow in intensity. A re-evalua-
ton of the situation. under such
circumstances. would certainly
be attempted.
Southern Drive Hinted
The statement by Senator Rus
sell of Georgia that he favored
the nomination of Seneator Lyn-
don johnson of Texas, Demo-
cratic leader of the Senate, for
President, if followed by other
Southern Democratic leaders
could have repercussions of i'm
portance. A concerted effort on
the part of the Southern dele.
gates in behalf of Senator John
son might tie up the Democratic
convention, and make it difficult
for Stevenson to get a nomina-
ton on an early ballot. 1t could
play into the hands of the Har-
riman camp. This is a chance
which the Southern Democrats
would face. if they stuck by SEN
ator Johnson. Gov. Hartman is
one potential nominee the
Southerners, up to date, have
strongly opposed.
