Truman May Be Forced to Run

In with the Tammany organi-
cation behind him to WOO the
Stevenson vote. A Hartman
Stevenson ticket might be Of
fered as a bait to the former
Illinois Governor.
Primaries do not usually tell
much about the relative
strength of the parties. But it
is significant that the Demo-
Gratis polled a much larger to-
tai vote than did the Republic
cans in Minnesota. President
Eisenhower, Of course, was,
for all practical purposes.
unopposed. There was no con-
test and no reason for Repub-
licans to vote on the presi-
dency except to compliment
MI. Eisenhower.
There are widely current re-
ports that in Minnesota many
Republicans voted in the
Democratic primaries and that
Senator Kefauver benefited
by such a shift. There could
hardly have been a plot by
the Republican leaders to
bring this about. In the first
place. such a drive is hard
to organize and, in the second
place. it is of doubtful value
because the lessened total
vote Of, the Republicans is
already being interpreted as
a farm revolt of Republican
voters. And that's not the kind
of publicity the Republicans
would seek.
Unquestionably there will
be big detection of Republic
can votes in Minnesota this
year due to the farm issue.
Minnesota is one of the States
that the Republicans are very
much worried about. The pri-
mary result there this week
gives the Republicans little
comfort.

nose so rubbed in the dirt as
happened here.
Kefauver will never let him
off the ground If it's possible
to keep him there. A few
hours after winning here, in
the middle of the night, the
Senator took off for Montana
and California to capitalize on
the infection and intoxication
of the new triumph. He ex-
poets now to carry California,
where again the party leader
ship pumped for Stevenson
and tried to freeze out Ke-
fauver.
Minnesotans clearly re-
sented it and Kefauver thinks
Californians will, too. That
resentment is an important
part of the Minnesota story.
Detailed analysis must await
final returns on a check
against past performances.
But as the night wore on,
State experts agreed that:
Republicans everywhere
were voting Democratic in
rather substantial numbers.
Some were surely bona fide
rebels on farm policy, per-
haps on other issues. Some,
though. were helping Kefauver
knock off Stevenson.
Democrat Farmer Labor
voters were showing resent
ment against the DFL indorse-
ment of Stevenson by which
a choice was sought to be
avoided.
1t appears that public opin-
ion polls cannot catch up to
vigorous campaigning. The re-
liable Minnesota poll of the
Minnesota Tribune had shown
Kefauver closing the gap with
Stevenson and had suggested
a possible G. o. P. migration
into the Democratic primary.
But Stevenson had remained
firmly in the lead in the polls
totals and the effect was to
lull his people into a false self
confidence.

probably. many Democrats.
The argument over polls is an

Faced by a virulent diplo-
matte offensive on the part of
the Soviet Union. the admins
tration is fighting a hard de-
fensive battle in an attempt
to preserve the Western unity
of purpose. Our foreign affairs
policymakers seem to think
that if we adopt a middle-of-
the-road attitude we will be
able to fight a successful rear
guard action.
In keeping with this STRAIT
egg our Ambassador to France.
C. Douglas Dillon, told the
French people that we are
backing their search for a
liberal and equitable" solu-
ton of the Algerian rebellion.
This Endorsement became
necessary when Washington
realized the possible implica-
tions of the visit of Prime Min
lister Mollet and Foreign Min
lister Pineau to Moscow next
May. Diplomatic intelligence
reported that the two French
leaders intended to swap re-
sumption of the entente
cordiale" with the USSR and
its satellites and allies for a
Soviet undertaking to with
draw support from the AL
gerian rebels. The French gov
eminent is more deeply con-
cerned over the fate of Al
geria. which is a part and
parcel of the French Republic,
than over Tunisia and Moroc-
CO. The loss of Algeria would
be far more important, public
opinion-wise, than the loss of
Indo- China and of the Tunis-
ian and Moroccan protector
ateS.
AS a matter of fact, there
is such a deep feeling in
France over Algeria that its
loss would not only cause the
downfall of the cabinet but
would actually threaten the
present form of democratic
government itself. Under these
conditions, it was reported

there was a strange feeling
among French politicians that
the United States wanted to

unanswered itself in replac-
ing France in Wet Nam" This
feeling was bluntly expressed
by Foreign Minister Pineau in
a speech some three weeks
ago. Hence the somewhat be-
lated pat on the back AM
bassador Dillon gave the
French government last Tues
day.
But the harassed policymak-
ers in the State Department
fear now that the pleasant
attitude of our Government
toward Frances determination
to hold Algeria at any price
may have a serious repercus-
sion among the Arabs in the
explosive Middle East. While
negotiating with the national
list leaders in Algiers, France
is determined to use the
mailed fist against the rebels.
Its remaining two NATO di-
visions have been ordered to
Algeria.
Moroccan, Algerian and
Senegalese troops, counted
amongst the best fighters in
the French Army, have now
become unreliable. They will
be sent to Germany to replace
the two model divisions. These

AS a supporting argument it
points out that despite this

since the end of the war all
her possessions in the Far
East; it has lost Morocco and
Tunisia and now it stands a
good chance of losing Algeria
and possibly its vast empire

plans for wholly televised

question.
Among Democrats, certain
agonizing reappraisals will
begin.
Gov. Averell Hartman of
New York can be expected to
hire a new squad of speech
writer's. The Southern con-
servatives, to whom Steven
son is acceptable while their
liberal border State colleague
is not, will search again for
alternatives which, to date,
they have not found.
Two rising young Democrats
of this State-Senator HUI
bert H. Humphrey and Gov.
Orville L. Freeman-Who tried
to push the party here onto
the Stevenson band wagon,
have suffered a setback.
Humphrey is widely suspected
OF vice presidential ambitions.
For Democratic leaders
everywhere. the nature of Ke-
fauver'S triumph suggests that
they must re-eXamine the
whole concept of moderation
pursued to a degree by Steven
son and Fundamentally by
party chiefs in Congress.
The argument that Demo-
Gratis can win only when they

grams-it might be called
Truman's law-will be force

Stevenson's future Is dark
but not hopeless.

happened in Minnesota was
most pleasing to those Demo-

who would like to deadlock the
August convention and bring
out a compromise candidate.
In Senator Kefauver they see
the instrument to knock off
Adlai Stevenson who, up to
now, had been considered the
likely nominee. These con-
servative influences may. in
the end, be the real winner
from the Minnesota primary.
If they are able to dominate
the convention, the compro-

The patched-pants underdog
brought down the lead
dog in Minnesota.
Senator Estes KefauYer has
achieved a spectacular tri-
umph over Adlai E. Steven
son, whom many people con-
slider the most eloquent
spokesman of the Democratic
Party.

the FESTIVE farm area to which

votes to defeat the Republic

next fall.
He has beaten a champion
with a show of that power
which eXcites the imagination
of Americans and forces the
respect of professional politi-
clans. His stature is greatly
enhanced and Stevenson's is
scorrespondingly reduced.
The effects will be felt far
beyond the immediate for
tunes of the two men. Re-
publicans must note that Ke-
fauVer alone appears to have
won substantially more votes
than President Eisenhower in
the State which shared in the
early launching of the Eisen-
hover boom in 1852 and voted
overwhelmingly for him in the
election that fall. Nor did
;Stevenson's primary vote fall
far behind the Presidents.

Stevenson Will Need q Miracle
To Overcome Minnesota Loss

:. A couple of tons of cold
snow was dumped on the Adlai
Stevenson candidacy for the
Democratic presidential nomi-
nation in Minnesota.
1t is Well-nigh buried. It
may be possible for the 1852
candidate to dig himself out
in succeeding pri maries-
Alaska, April "a; Florida, May
20; California, June 6. But
almost a miracle is required,
\ since Senator Estes Kefauver
';has reclaimed, in their very
first face-to-face encounter,
the title of peoples candi-
, date" which he won in 1852
against setups and now has
asserted against the expert
aenced national candidate who
got 81 million votes for Presi-
dent in 1852.
Among Democrats. Adlai
Stevenson had been regarded
as "the champ" Beating the
champ is a big psychological
boost for Estes Kefauver. Nor
lis it much comfort to Steven
son supporters to point to the
contribution of Republican
votes to the Kefauver triumph.
There were plenty. But no.
: body can say how many. Any
how the pay-of is in the
majority, wherever it comes
from.
But is Senator Kefauver the
real winner in the Minnesota
melee, that is, for the long
range?
There is some doubt about
that. While he is off to a

DAVID LAWRENCE

Maybe Harry Truman will
have to run for the Democrats
as a last resort. Certainly the
Minnesota primary shows the
Democrats to be badly split as
between Senator Kefauver and
Adlai Stevenson. Mr.. Truman
tis cocksure that he can unite
them and beat President
Eisenhower.
:, What happened in the Min
nesota primary cannot be
taken, however. as conclusive
evidence that Stevenson is on
4the way out. The votes in
presidential primaries, after
all, mean very little to the
bosses Of a national conven-
ton. The Democratic Party
bosses and organizations in
most of the big cities have
been for Stevenson. and they
can bring about his nominal
ton if they so desire. They
did so in 1852, when Steven
son didn't enter a single pri-
mary, while Kefauver cam
. paigned actively in several
State primaries and was gen.
orally victorious.
There is, however, a natural
prejudice among the voters
against anyone who has been
: defeated before in a presi-
, dental election. Grover Cleve-
land, Democrat. is about the
only man who ever made a
q. comeback - he was elected
President in 1884. defeated in
1888, but elected in 1892. Will
