Stevenson Men
|Heartened by
Labor Welcome

SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 81
| P.-Adlai Stevenson told g
rally of California labor sup.
porters last night: you know
why I'm here-I'm here fol
votes"
Tossing aside prepared speech
notes, Mr.. Stevenson told the
warmly cheering Labor Temple
crowd, IF disappoint you. il
will be the most disappointing
thing which has ever befsller
me. If I succeed. it will be due
to your efforts in my benalf
The rally climaxed a gruelline
two days of California speech
making, handshaking and con-
ferences, all aimed at reassurlne
supporters worried over MIR
Stevenson's loss of front run;
ner" position in the Democratic
presidential nomination race
He flies back to Chicago today
Backers Are Heartened
Results of his effort are still
to be measured. But the en-
thusiastic evening rally-last O.
IA meetings Mr.. Stevenson hac
during a long day in Los An
geles and San Francisco
heartened his hackers.
A roar of applause greeted
Mr.. Stevenson's speech from the
audience of TOO which overf1owed
the Labor Temple. There were
shouts of you're going to get
'em, Adlaip
I'm here to beSpeak your
help" the candidate continued
I'm also here because I'm mad. d
He declared the cry of Boss
ism" from the rival Estes Kefau-
yer camp irked him so much
he decided on this previously
unplanned dash to California to
seek votes in the June 5 primary
Stresses Charge in Talks
Mr.. Stevenson struck back at
the charge at every opportunity
and stressed it in .TV talks both
here and in Los Angeles. He said
it was only after Senator Kefau-
yer tried and failed to get in
dorsement of some of the party
leaders that he began calling
them bosses"
ESTES always says these nice
things about me and then jumps
on all my friends" he added. 81
think the people who have en-
couraged me to be a candidate
again for the most responsible
office on earth have earned
something better than epithets. "
In Los Angeles Mr.. Stevenson
also said it made him plain
mad" to be advised to spend
less time on issues and more on
folksy Handwriting if he expects
ito prevent Senator Kefauver
from taking the California ,pri-
mary away from him also.
He likes people, too, he said
here. He has shaken hands with
them all over the world and
enjoys it. But, he said, he
thinks Californians will agree
with him that world issues and
domestic legislation affecting
the lives of all must get first
call.

whether farmer-participation in
the soil-bank will be on a volun-
tary or compulsory basis.
The administration wants thu
plan optional. The big American
Farm Bureau Federation is push
ing for compulsion. The Senate
bill - which the conferees art
merging with a House measure
provided for mandatory com
pliance, but the Senate onl!
voted a narrow 1915 approval
and then, because SO Republic
cans lined up against the White
House.
Optional Plan Likely
The conference committee
seems likely to vote for the op'
tional arrangement.
The soil-bank program entails
q cutback for the next four years
in the paintings of cotton, corn
wheat, rice, peanuts and some
tobaccos which include Mary
land and Virginia varieties.
Another proviso calls for re-
tirement of about IS million
acres of cropland to a conserva-
ton reserve.
Farmers would be paid for
Joining in, either on a cash basis
or by receiving commodities
from Government surplus stocks
in an arrangement that would
cut down that SO billion stock
pile.
If the plan becomes compul-
sorry - which many maintain is
necessary to get satisfactory
compliance - farmers would be
required to set aside part of their
land in the bank" in order to
qualify for supports on any
commodity.
Another issue before the con-
ferees involves a House demand
that the authority of the Sec
rotary of Agriculture to distrib-
ute the multi-million- dollar
payments be spelled out in detail.
EIlender Seeks Discretion
House conferees are arguing
for this, but Chairman Ellender
insists the administrative prob
lem is so great that the Secre-
tary must have wide discretion.
The committee, working until
II o'clock last night, kept on
with its support-raising program
by boosting the dairy products
loan basis from $3.15 to. 1925 a
hundred weight for manufactur-
ing milk. Butterfat also goes up
The move, vigorously opposed as
4 surplus-bree by Secretary
Benson, is figured to add about
$120 million to dairyland
pocketbooks this year if Senate
and House approve, @
Earlier, the committee had
torpedoed tfie administration

truck. His vote could be built
up. however, by Democrats vot-
ing on the Republican ballot to
embarrass the administration.
Republican State organiza-
ton plans a drive to get out
the party's voters for Mr.. Eisen-
hover as an expression of conf
ldence. Mr.. Kefauver can't ex-
lpect similar help from the DEM
ocratic organization leaders, who
generally are friendly to Mr..

George Was OF His Game

George went off with bowed head to
the clubhouse for quick SarSaparilIa,
and Walter held a sort of court on the
tenth tee. The Suavity Of his manner had
never been more pronounced. He did
not so much as vince when Mrs. Bolts
turned the conversation to the subject
of elves. Those little beetles you saw
crawling around on the turf we're really
elves, she said, and when she proposed
calling her forthcoming book ELVES On
The Golf Course" Walter in the hearth
est way said that, plainly, she couldn't
do better.
When PonSford Bolts told a
story of two Irishmen named Pat and
Mike, Walter laughed unStintedly. He
also patted Irwin Bolts on the head and
asked him if he had been troubled with
hiccupS lately. Irwin said he had had
slight attack earlier in the day but it had
passed off, and Walter said, Capital,
capital. Well, that's splendid" 1t seemed
to me that in bothering to accompany
him this afternoon in the capacity of
guardian angel ! was merely wasting
my time.
1t was at this point that George came
out of the clubhouse accompanied by
girl with blonde hair in whom recog-
nized Mabel Case, his ex-fiancee.
Not that she seemed so ex. She flung
her arms about Georges neck and
kissed him fondly. Apparently some
thing in the nature Of lovers recon-
citation had taken place over the SarSa-
parilla. and George, as he advanced to
the tee, was plainly new man.
'GoShr' he cried, shifting the bracing
air. What day! The airs like orange
juice! How do we stand? Three down,
am not? Well. well, we will soon adjust
that state Of AFFAIRS
And taking driver in hand, he sent
shorter screaming down the course, to
lie within comfortable distance of the
green.
could see that Walter was shaken.
He just had not anticipated this. To
