D. {. Slate SET
For kefauver

A slate of Kefauver supporters
for election as delegates and al
ternates to the Democratic Ma
tional Convention has been
drawn up by the Washington Ke-
or-President Club.
It is being kept under wraps,
however, in the hope that some
present supporters of Adlai E.
Stevenson may switch to the
Tennessee Senator's camp.
William F. Fadler, jr.. presi-
dent of the Washington Kefau-
yer club, said the list of IL pro-
posed delegates and IL alternates
has been turned over to F. Joseph
Donohue, the Kefauver national
campaign manager, "for co-ordi-
nation"
Mr.. Fadler said Mr.. Donohue
wants to hold up announcement
OF the list until after the Mime
sofa primary on Tuesday. The
Kefauver forces expect to win
four or five of the nine Mime
sofa districts, Mr.. Fadler said,
and they hope that the Senator's
showing will persuade some of
the Stevenson supporters to
switch to Senator Kefauver.
Mr.. Donohue was described as
wanting to keep the slate open
for the possible inclusion Of some
present Stevenson supporters.
But. Mr.. Fadler said, referring
to the names on the Kefauver
clubs slate. if Mr.. Donohue
wants to rub some off, he can
try it."
Asked if such a statement
meant a challenge to a fight,
Mi. Fadler laughed and insisted
1t did not.
He said the club would start
on Wednesday circulating petit
tons to obtain 100 names to get
the slate on the ballot for the
party elections on May /.
