The Woodrow Wilson $500
plate dinner on April 81 will
draw an impressive flock of
important Democrats. But no
speaker will dare announce in
stirring tones, The next Presi-
dent of the United States is in
this room
This is the statement, so
customary at huge political
gatherings, that always sends
chills down the spineS CT fav-
orite candidates and their ar
dent supporters. 1t does it
regardless of the strength of
the opposition.
But this time it is not apt
to be forthcoming despite the
presence of one very active
candidate, one semi active
candidate, one Tor lnore) hope
fuls, and one very dark horse
lie. Adlai Stevenson, Averell
Hartman, Soapy Williams and
young Robert Meyner of New
Jersey. Incidentally if Gov.
Hartman had the choice to
make between attending Mar
garet Truman's wedding and
this dinner, he has now chosen
the Democratic fund raising.
Which is what ne ought to do
if he's a candidate.
But that same night primary
winner Estes Kefauver will be
up in Oregon making a speech,
and light horse Stuart Syming-
ton will be attending another
important party in town, the
final dinner of the editors
conference. Therefore no din
ner guest will be able to scan
the scene, count Genie, meenie,
mimic. mo" and come up with
the answer.
Other Democratic bigwigs
who'll attend include young
Gov. Clements of Tennessee,
young Gov. Leader of Pennsyl-
vania. Gov. Roberts of Rhode
Island (the man who's been
waiting for years to run for
the Senate but 88 : year = old
Senator Green has already in
dicated when this term is over
he'll run for another), Mayor
Daley of Chicago, former
Senator Bill Benton, former
Ambassador Chester Bowles,
former Air Secretary Tom
Finletter, Speaker Rayburn.
Dean Acheson, Senator Bark
ley. etc.
Members Of Woodrow Will
sons family who will hear his
memory extolled are Mrs. Will

Mrs. Eleanor Wilson McAdoo;
his granddaughter, Miss Flea

the critics in the four seasons
during which Shakespeare has
been the proudest asset of its
100 years. Tom Dolan's attrac-
tive afternoon paper. The Beacon
Herald, has helped make this
true. Through it, Mary Joliffe,
the festivals keenly professional
press agent, Tom Patterson, and
others of the venture, proclaim
proudly that 81 critics are pres
ent for this years openings.
That is the largest gathering
of critics in any one place at one
time in the Western Hemisphere.
AS a measure Of Stratford's dra-
matte significance, 1t is quite an
impressive figure, the more so
for its increase from year to year.

humping into his fellow humans.
Or being bumped off by the one
in the nearest automobile.
Stratford is different this
year, the town, not the festival.
The latter opened a fortnight
earlier. to permit the company
to keep its first foreign date in
Edinburgh in August. Schools
are still in session and the
streets are quieter. The city
swimming pool. of Huron street
and across from the Shake
spearean gardens has not been
filled.
Nor have the older folks
moved out into the park with
their books and chess and
checker games. One misses
them as part of the festival
scene, but knows that it is
merely matter of time until
they will be back. There is still
o bit of an edge on the morning
air. last remnant of the weather
that gave Washington and the
rest of our East a late, wettish
spring that has been so good
for the grass.
Still, some things are I'M
changed and sharp upon the
senses, Like the back room of
Gregory's drugstore where the
smell of the apothecary shop is
still pungent. 1t has been long
time since one caught that herbal
fragrance and absence has made
the nose grow fonder.
AND so TO BED: Opening
nights in Stratford are some
thing special. There is no wait
ing up for the reviews, which,
when they are written, are wired
or telephoned to distant news
papers. They won't be back for
reading until late the next day or
the day after, which obviates
waiting.
There is no Sardi's in which to
wait If there was any purpose in
waiting. Jerry Bakers Black
smith Shop. Stratford's most
sophisticated eating center, has
not opened. The other night
haunt is the Golden Bamboo, as
its name implies. a Chinese res
t0urant.
Members of the company
gather here, and a few of the
sownspeople. These exchange
verdicts but they are not decisive.
Not at all like the ones in The
Times and Herald Tribune after

Chicago Is Out
In Library Bid

Legislation to place the pro-
posed National Library Of Medi-
cine in Chicago was virtually
killed today by the House Ad-
ADMINISTRATION Committee after
two hearings for proponents and
opponents of the location.
The committee in executive
session considered the bill, but
decided officially to take no ac-
ton. This. in effect, leaves the
measure dormant in the COM
Imittee.
The sidetracking of the Chi
cago bill apparently clears the
way now for legislation placing
the library lin or near the Dis
Itrict."
One bill to this effect already
has passed the Senate and awaits
action by the House.
An identical measure intro
duced in the House has been APP
proved by a subcommittee OF
the House Interstate and Foreign
Commerce Committee headed by
Representative Priest. Democrat
Of Tennessee.
1t was believed that the Com
lmerce Committee could now act
on the measure.

Big 3 Make
New Offerto
Steel Union

NEW YORK, June q PO.-
The Nations Big Three" steel
firms today laid a new contract
proposal before the United
Steelworkers Union in an effort
to head off an industry-wide
strike at midnight Saturday.
There was no immediate in
formation as to what the new
proposal contained, but it was
believed to call for a three-year
contract with an hourly pay in
crease Of 10 cents for the first
year.
A previous industry proposal,
calling for a five-year contract
with a 712-cents-an-hour in
crease the first year, had been
rejected by the union as I'M
satisfactory.
Negotiators for the union and
the three major steel firms
United States Steel. Bethlehem
and Republic-displayed great
amiability as they went into to-
days session, at which the new
terms were suggested.
The negotiators smilingly
posed together for photographs.
Earlier. United States Steel
had announced it would start
banking furnaces tonight at
Gary, Ind, and tomorrow in the
Pittsburgh area against the pos
Isibility of a strike.
Other major producers were
expected to follow suit in the
move, described as a purely pre-
cautionary one to prevent cool
ing damage to the furnaces.

Transit Issue
on Hill
Conferees Discuss
Franchise Today
BY HECTOR MCLEAN

Meeting in mid afternoon ses-
sion, House and Senate con-
Iferees today faced five proposals
to solve the Washington transit
crisis.
Preparing for the conference,
the lawmakers asked the District
Commissioners to stand by for
consultation outside the Senate
District Committee chambers.
This morning the Commits
sioners conferred with the Chalk
Fox group on final details of
the city heads recommendation
favoring them.
Terms Modified
Earlier representatives Of Ma
tional City Lines delivered to the
Commissioners a letter formally
announcing they had modified
their contract with Capital Tran
sit Co. This modification. COW
ering franchise proposals. car
ried out bargaining changes to
which the NCL representatives
had agreed earlier.
Under this plan. they reduced
from 10 per cent to 8 per cent
of gross operating revenues the
return they wanted written into
a franchise. Also, they offered
to pay the District $5.n00 per
single track mile for all abSl-
doned streetcar lines which the
city might pave over in the fu-
ture.
The five proposals facing the
conferees include:
First was the plan of National
City Lines. Inc, Nationwide
transit holding company, which
has a contract to buy the assets
and liabilities of the dying Cap
ital Transit Co. and set UP a
new operating company.
Second was the plan of o. Roy
Chalk, wealthy New York real
estate owner and president of
Trans Caribbean Always. Inc,
and Morris Fox, president of a
local trucking company, to make
the same deal with Capital Tran
sit at the same $13. 100000 price,
with a larger down payment.
Mcdonald Heads Group
Third is the proposal of an
11-man group headed by Harry
"A. Mcdonald. former chief of
the Securities and Exchange
Commission and of the Recon-
struction Finance Corp. under
President Truman. to have CTC
buy out and retire the stock of
its controlling shareholder
Louis E. Wolfson. This group
would take an option to buy up
to 100000 shares of stock and
would guarantee to buy up to
100000 shares from any stock
holders other than Mr.. Wolfson
who desire to unload at the
same $l4 a share price offered
in all bids.

favor of building a municipal
stadium to house the baseball
club and his football team. Mr..
believes that such a
stadium would pay for itself if
used by the professional teams
and national events.
The need for such a stadium
was pointed up by the sale of
tickets for the approaching ALL
Star Baseball game scheduled
here July 10. Thousands of fans
were disappointed because Grit
fifth Stadium can accommodate
only about $4,000 spectators.
Sports promoters have made
much of the fact that Washing
ton is unable to get many of the
better sports attractions here,
like the Army-Navy Game, for
because of the lack of a
suitable stadium.

The new policy, which is ir
line with the United Givers
Fund now being set up here, was
to be explained further at a
news conference by Philip
Young. Civil Service Commits
sion chairman, and presidential
advisers on personnel manage
ment.
These fund drives-anywhere

Young's direction and an execu-
tive order putting the new pro-

shortly.
Basic Principles Set Up
The three basic principles OF
the new program were set up as
follows:
Il. Every employe should have
full opportunity to learn about
the services to the Nation and
the needs of those agencies
which want his help.
20. Every employe should de-
eide for himself which agency he
wants to support and be assured
that his donation goes to agency
he designates.

option of disclosing his contri-
button or keeping it conf

Associated Press Science Reporter

The time is, maybe, 1861 =.
A little boy is about to step
aboard the school bus. His
mother comes to the door and
cries:
Johnny Jones-march right
back into this house and put on
your radiation badge!"
Johnny, grinning sheepishly,
hurries back to the house and
takes from his mothers hand a
little square badge containing a
piece Of Photographic film. He
pins it on his blouse-just above
his Boy Scout pin-and scoots
back to the school bus.
Because of his forgetfullness.
he gets bit of a razzing from
the other kids in the bus-all of
whom are wearing the little
badges, just like every other
person in the United States,
young and old.
Such a scene is entirely likely
as a result of a recommendation
made by the National Academy
of Sciences recently in its report
on the real and potential hazards
of radiation to present and fu-
ture generations-the degree of
hazard depending in general on
the amount Of exposure.
The report pointed out that

pointed secretary of state by
Gov. Hartman.
"Tammany Hall just doesn't
look good" Gov. Hodges COM
mented. Nor, he added, does the

Hartman for the presidential
nomination, along with Mr..
Stevenson and Senator Kefau-
yer.

tinued, land the South has a

Gov. Shivers of Texas was
lanother Southerner who turned
thumbs down on Gov. Hartman,
He went further and reiterated
his strong opposition to the
nomination of Mr.. Stevenson.
He helped to carry Texas for
President Eisenhower over Mr..
Stevenson in 1852. He has no
more use for Mr.. Stevenson to-
day, he said, than he had then.
The Texas Governor said that
his State may go Republican
again next November, particu-
larry if President Eisenhower is
THE g. o. P. candidate.
Won't Go to Convention
Gov. Shivers said he did not
expect to go to Chicago for the
Democratic national convention
but that he would see it on tele-
vision. He recently suffered a
defeat in his effort to control
the Texas delegation to the ma
tional convention at the hands
of Senator Lyndon Johnson, ma
jority leader of the Senate. and
Speaker Sam Rayburn. both of
whom supported Mr.. Stevenson
in the 1852 campaign.
Senator johnson will be Texas
favoriteSson candidate at the
Democratic national convention
in August. Whether he will swing
the delegation to Mr.. Stevenson
remains to be seen. He is I'M
committed and can remain him
self an active candidate during
the convention, although he has
disclaimed a desire for the NOM
ination.
Gov. Hartman, when he was
questioned about the statement
OF Gov. Hodges. replied emphati-
cally that the Democratic Party,
when picking a presidential can
didate. must give consideration
to winning New York and "simi-
ar-thinking States"
Some people seem to over
look this fact" he commented
He said that it would be neces-
sary to carry New York and these
other States if the party is to
elect President. II represent
the Democratic Party in New
York, and my programs repre-
sent what the majority of the
people of New York want" he
said.
