THE POLITICAL MILL
Stevenson Plans Fighting Campaign
BY GOULD LINCOLN

STAR CONVENTION BU-
REAU, Chicago.-Adlai Ste
venson, if nominated for Presi-
dent by the Democratic Ma
tional Convention next week
AS most of the party leaders
and political observers now
fully expect-will start a hard
driving campaign almost i'm
mediately.
Indeed, his managers say,
Stevenson will get on the road
as soon as the Republican Ma
tional Convention has nomi-
mated its candidates and Labor
Day has passed. And once he
has begun to travel and cam
paign, he will keep it up until
election day, November 6.
This means a full two
months of strenuous work.
But Stevenson has in mind
or at least his campaign man.
ayers have it in mind-that
this kind of driving campaign,
including whistle-stop trips,
will be in marked contrast to
the campaign expected OF
President Eisenhower. The
latter is expected to conflne
his efforts largely to television
appearances, with an occa-
sional trip across parts of the
country.
It is true that President
Eisenhower said last February,
when he announced he would
run for reelection, he had
decided that he would not
"barnstorm" for votes long be-
fore he had his heart attack.
However, the Democrats think
a tremendously active cam
paign by their candidate will
emphasize the health issue"
which they are raising against
Eisenhower.
Has Had Lots of Training
Stevenson has had a full
training for this kind of cam
paigning. He is far better at it
than he was four years ago. He
meets people more easily, as
demonstrated in his strenuous
campaigning in the presiden-
tial primary States. starting
last winter and ending with
June 5 when he won a final
and clinching victory in Cali
fornia over his principal con-
tender, Senator Estes Kefauver
of Tennessee. The latter had
achieved a record for day-by-
day, night-by- might campaign
ing capable of breaking almost
any candidate down. But in
Florida and in California
Stevenson showed he could
take it to an equal degree.
Further, Stevenson is firmly
convinced he can win this veal
"a conviction he never had in
1852. He wants to get out ano
talk to the people. to discuss
the issues fully, to point Out
what he considers the failures
of the Eisenhower administra-
ton and the Republican Party
Four years ago he was pittec
against a war hero. The I'm.
popular Korean war wa!
under way. The Democratic
Party had been in control fol
20 years, and the people were
ripe for a change" Presi-
dent Eisenhower still is a wal
hero and still retains great
personal popularity, but in the
opinion of Stevenson he ha:
not proved a strong President

The Korean war does not ex-
list as an issue. The Republic
can Party has had its chance
at running the Government,
and, Stevenson insists. has
not done a good job. He will
bear down heavily on the
charges that it has run the
Government for the benefit
of the interests" and the
wealthy and left only the
crumbs for the lower brackets.
the little people.
Stevenson will not, it is
said, speak directly of the
Presidents health, his heart
attack and his more recent
abdominal operation. But he
will stress the charge that
Eisenhower is a "part-time
President; that he cannot
and does not give his job all
the time and energy required.
In this line of attack, how
ever, it is admitted he must
tread softly, lest he create
sympathy for his opponent
and so lose more than he can
gain by such tactics.
Will Attack Nixon
The Stevenson plan of CAM
paign, as now contemplated,
will bring direct and vigorous
attack on Vice President
Nixon. presuming that Nixon
is to be renominated. He will
endeavor to convince the
voters that they run a grave
risk of having Nixon in the
White House, and that he
would make a poor Chief
Executive. The whole Demo-
cratic attack, started two
years ago to break down
Nixon, will eliminate in this
drive.
Stevenson reasons that he
received q million votes in
1852, which is a great number
of votes in any mans Ian
guage, even though Eisen-
hover had some 6 million
more. He feels confident that
great numbers of Democrats
who crossed party lines to vote
for Eisenhower four years ago
have become disillusioned and
will be back in the party fold.
He believes, too, that millions
Of independent voters will turn
against an Eisenhower ticket.
particularly if Nixon is a part
of it.
The fight Stevenson will
make, it is said. will be almost
a door-to-door affair. All this
presu pposes presidential
nomination for the former IL
linoiS Governor. The opposi-
ton to Stevenson, however, is
almost on the rocks. Gov,
Hartman is working desper-
ately now, even buttonholing
individual delegates in person
and by long-distance tele-
phone. The only chance Har-
riman has apparently lies in a
coalition of favorite-son can
didates to hold their State
delegations away from Steven
son on the early ballots.
1t seems an impossible task.
particularly if the Stevenson
followers cast 600 or more
delegate votes on the first bal
lot. If Stevenson can reach
that figure. enough to nomi-
nate him will Jump on the
band wagon. 1t takes 686 u
votes to nominate in the ma
tional convention.

The Suez

Whatever the outcome may
be, Nasser is magnifleently
right in asserting the sover-
eighty of Egypt over every
foot of Egypt's area, whether
that area contains a Suez
Canal, an Aswan Dam, Pyra-
mid or a Sphinx. And the diff
ference between the British
governments ownership OF
449o of the Suez Canal and the
Egyptian governments own
ership of 1000 is a difference
of degree only.
True, the canal must be kept
open to traffic at all hazards.
True also that Nasser can
realize an income from it for
use in constructing his Aswan
Dam only by keeping it open
and collecting toll from ships
using it. Also. Nasser has as
serted that it will be kept open.
So the squabble should re-
solve itself into simply a ques-
ton of how much the stock
holders are to receive for their
equities and how it is to be
paid, and how to provide
whatever safeguards that may
be deemed necessary to assure
that traffic shall not be inter-
rupted.
Certainly these are matters
soluble by negotiations and re-
quire no economic reprisals.
Much less do they warrant the
great hullabaloo that is being
raised, or the hot air being
shot OF from all sides.
$3.50 \ 4 \ +
In 1882 Great Britain landed
an armed force at the mouth
of the Nile in Egypt, in order
to protect the sea route across
the Isthmus Of Suez. Shall the
United States permit such an
act to occur again?
The argument presented by
the Big Three that the Suez
should be under international
control is contrary to all pre-
viouS policy. The Suez was
under British control from
1875, not under international
control.
Observation-Disclosures is not
only contrary to previous poll
icy, but it is also contrary to
logic. Egypt wishes to build the
great Aswan dam through the
revenue derived from Suez
shipping; if she closes the
canal to shipping her main
reason for Matchmaking the
Suez would be abolished. There
fore, Egypt Cannot AFFORD to
close the Suez. 49,
England and France are in
terested in international con-
troll, not because they are think
ing of the. other shipping colp-
tries, but because if the Suez
is put under international con-
troll it will be administered by
British and French stock
holders.
What difference does It make
if Egypt or the imperial powers
of England and France ad-
minister the Suez? Egypt has
given her word that the canal
will remain open, therefore,
we have no legitimate argu-
ment for asking for indirect
British-French control.
Why not back-up Gen.
Nasser? And If he closes the
canal to- International ship
ping, and If no justiflable
agreement can be reached,
then, under auspices of the
United Nations, take the nee
essary action to open the canal
once again to world traffic.
If the United States backs
British and French policy,
and if they use military force,
the United States will be guilty
Of the gravest Of crimes. Worse
than committing a grievious
moral wrong, the United
States will alleviate many Of
its Asiatic friends and neutrals.
It's time the United States
took a definite stand against
imperialism in its own back
yard. Either that. or wrap UP
the Near East in a neat pack
age and present IL to Sovietisrn
with our good wishes.

;. PROTECTION FOR YOUR Personal PROPERTY

3. PROTECTION FOR YOUR PERSONA PROPERTY
You should also insure the contents Of your home
against loss or damage BY fire and lightning. And
it's usually good idea to protect your personal
property while il is of yoar premises.
For other hazards to your personal property, you
should have theft and burglary insurance. From
80 TO 500 Of your personal propertys total value
should be covered. Most theft and burglary poll
cies cover personal property only while it is on your
premises. An extra coverage against off-premises
theft can be added for an additional premium
Z. PROTECTION AGAINST LEGAL LIABILITY
A costly lawsuit could hurt you more than the
worst fire. That's why home insurance should not
end with properly protection. If your dog bites
passerby, or salesman slips on your walk yoH may
be legally liable.
You should therefore have bersonal liability pro-
lection which pays damage resulting from injuries
to people or property for which you OF any member
ofyour family are responsible. This coverage usually
includes medical payments feature for injuries to
others whether or not you are legally liable

package policies give you coverage at less cost

What II you had to buy your house room By room?
The kitchen from one real estate man, the living
room from another, the bedroom from third u.
What waste Of time! And you would certainly
pay lot more, too.
Yet most home insurance is bought just that way
piece BY piece: Fire insurance from one company,
burglary policy from another, liability policy
from third.
The result Of this" do-it-yonrselT protection is
that you may or may not have the right kinds Of
coverage your coverages may be duplicated z.
and you've no doubt paid more than you should.
Fortunately, all this is on the way out In most
states today, the many beverages you need to pro-
tect your home have been combined into a single

This new development in home insurance gives
you more protection in just one policy . +. it will
probably cost you much less than you're now pay
ing and il will assure you better service through
dealing with single agent from one company.
WHAT PROTECTION you SHOULD HAVE:
As homeowner, you should have adequate insur-
ance protection in these four general areas:
I. PROTECTION FOR YOUR HOUSE
Your basic coverage should be against fire and
lightning damage, including coverage for extra
living costs while your home is uninhabitable after
fire.. plus extended eovyags against damage by
windstorm, hail, explosion, smoke. riot, aircraft
and other peoples vehicles.
Your home should also be protected BY additional
exfeaded coCvage against damage by vandalism,
your vehicles water escape heating system RUPTURE
falling trees, collapse, glass breakage and landslide.
Available also are all risk policies, which cover you
against every kind Of physical damage to your prop
erty except for few exclusions such As war, food
and termites.
