N0sser Reported to Have Declared
Offer Must Await Farley on Suez

The United States and Brit
ain have sounded out Egyptian
President Nasser through a
third party" about reopening
negotiations for construction of
the Aswan high dam with
Anglo-American financing.
The Egyptian dictator re-
piled. according to reliable re-
ports, that it was too late; the
die was cast. Egypt and all
the other Arab states have now
a common front and their main
objective is the safeguarding Of
their collective full sovereignty.
Should the Western powers
agree to the solution which he
offered concerning a canal
authority, Nasser added. the
proposed London conference
must change its scope and en-
large the attendance to in
clude almost everybody. Later,
the Aswan negotiations might
be renewed in a calmer atmos-
phere.
Nasser's reply poured cold

was given to the third party

were Immediately resumed.
At the same time the rejec-

Stevenson: Wave of the Future

Governor of New York, he is
inevitably a potential Presi-
dent, his party record is loyal
and distinguished, and he has
had great experience.
Under some circumstances
Hartman would have been
Gods gift to his party. His
historical misfortune is to have
run into Stevenson-much as
the late Robert A. Taft ran
into Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
mower in 1852.
Taft's over-eager lieutenantS
put their candidate in an un-
tenable position when they
tried to ride over the unmis-
taxable pro- Eisenhower senti-
ment of a few Southern States.
Unless Hartman and his
friend, the former President,
are careful. they may run into
comparable trouble.
Here again. too, the contest
begins to line up Senators
against Governors. Historic
cally, Governors do best in
such organization struggles,
exactly as they did when
Eisenhower beat Taft.
Stevenson still hopes for
harmony and will go far to
avoid anything partaking of
personalities with Truman.
But he is aware that he is not
going into the struggle I'M
armed.
The Stevenson supporters
have yet to utter the word
crusade" but they are willing
to do so, if necessary. They
resent the Truman over
shadowing of all the attractive
newcomers who have won
practically every election since
1852 when Stevenson has
been the titular head of the
party.

Egyptian soldiers and aviators
are still very inexperienced.
The whole Egyptian popula-
ton fully modified could not
make a showing against one
or two divisions of French and
British veterans supported by
a highly competent air and
naval force.
IF this were not the case"
said a prominent British nag
officer in London to his Ameri-
can colleague. what chance
would the West have in using
the French and British armies
against a Soviet aggression in
Europe?"
London and Paris admit
their position is less favorable

the two countries directly in

A good deal of pessimism
prevails in Washington at pres
ent. The possibility of a fall
ure of the London conference
is definitely contemplated. And
it may have, insofar as the
Republican Party is concerned,
far-reaching consequences on
the forthcoming elections.

expect to make the London
parley a powerful sounding
board for a hymn of hate
against Western colonialism
and Imperialism.
Under these circumstances,
asked one parsonage after the
Sunday conference at the
White House. what good will
the London palaver do? From
what he gathered at the pres
entation made by high on
Gals, the British and French
are unwilling to yield except
in some minor details. On the
other hand, all the indica-
tons point to q stern rebuff
Of the Western powers by the
Soviet Indian team which is
counting the Asiatic and
African peoples.
The idea of an interna-
tional pow-wow was President
Eisenhower's and Secretary
Dulles own. They wanted to
avoid the use of force and
allow a cooling-off period. The
British and French accepted
our request reluctantly. The
French in particular appear
interested in action" which
may see the end of Nasser
himself. They consider him
the handspring of the North
African rebellions. Algeria is
far more important to the
French people and govern
ment than is the Suez
Canal Co.
The French and British
general stats believed firmly
that an Anglo French inter-
vention in Egypt, at the time
when they decided to send
forces to the canal. would not
unleash a third world war.
They believed that the USSR
would shout and blast at the
West but would no more go
to war than it would have
for Korea or Communist
China in 1851. The war ma
terials it would send to
Nasser's forces could not

the party's leader in the
Senate opened for business in
his hotel headquarters here.
Right of. he sent word to his
right-hand lieutenant in the
Senate-Senator Richard B.
Russell Of Georgia--and got
the Georgia Senator here from
Myrtle Beach, S. c., where he
was mentioning. The Georgian
had not intended to attend
the convention.
Before he got down to busi-
ness, Senator johnson had
consolidated his position as
leader and spokesman on be-
half Of the South. This he did
by announcing at a news con-
ference that he had become a
serious" candidate for the
Democratic presidential nomi-
nation. rather than Just a
"favorite son" of Texas.
Senator Johnson's tactic,
which he has nursed for
months, was a Southern bloc
operating as a unit under his
general direction. To put it
together, he and his lieu
tenants sought to withhold as
many delegate votes as pos
sible in the South as uncom-
mitted, or committed to fa-
vorite sons. in advance OF the
balloting on candidates for
President and Vice President.
What the South might get
through this bargaining power
that Truman helped create
might not be what Truman
would like.

I'VE Like Truman, but" is Repeatedly
Reaction to Ex-Presidents Bombshell

The nomination will not go
to a dark horse, because no
large bloc of votes is of the
bitter end or "never-never"
kind. It's true with respect to
the candidates. of both Gov.
Hartman and Mr.. Stevenson.
Either man would be accept
able to this convention. Both
are staunch followers of the
New Deal and the Fair Deal,
with minor variations between
them hardly distinguishable to
the average voter, despite the
label "moderationist," which
has been given to Mr.. Steven
son, and the characterization
extreme liberal" which has
been given Gov. Hartman.
Basically, Gov. Hartman
would antagonize the South
and cause a political revolt
there and perhaps give rise to
a third party on the States
Rights" order. such as hap
pened in 1913. Most of the
delegates realize that support
of the South in the electoral
college is absolutely essential.
So Gov. Hartman may be elm
mated on that ground, unless
the platform adopted is drafted
as major concession to the
South. and then Mr.. Hartman
would improve his chances if
he said he would stand upon it
without reservation or change.
For some reason. Mr.. Steven
son has sold himself to the
South as a "gradualist," which
means no stampede to enforce
integration in the schools but
a slower approach. Mr.. Steven
sons worries today are with
what the platform finally says,
especially if he is to be COM
mitted to a more extreme APP
proach than the South would
like to see.
So the way the platform
shapes up will have a good
deal to do with the outcome
of the convention and could
furnish some surprises. It
seems improbable, however,
that the Stevenson managers,
who have control of the plat
form committee. would let the
situation grow precarious. Even
Senator Humphrey of Mime
sofa, a staunch Stevenson sup
porter, who was one of the
leaders in the fight for the civil
rights program in the 1948 and
1852 conventions, is talking in
conciliatory terms.

says that, in his impromptu
interview last week, he meant
to say that the platform should

vention strategy, never visible
to the naked eye, always fol-
lows a certain pattern-and to-
day it may be summed UP this
way: Mr.. Truman's effort to
demoralize the Stevenson con-
tingent by indorsing Gov.
Hartman failed to achieve its
objective. The Stevenson fol-
lowers, many Of them former
officeholders in the Truman
administration. have stood
firm. They say: I'VE like Tru-
man, but"
Usually no dark horse"
situation develops unless two
strong factions remain uncom-
promising. In this convention.
while there is strategic hos
tility between Mr.. Stevenson
and Gov. Hartman, their fol-
lowers could unite quickly at
the proper moment. One could
give way to the other in an
outburst Of harmony and the
delegates would feel they we're
making a demonstration Of
unity.
Mr.. Truman, on arriving
here, felt out the situation. He
concluded that the Stevenson
strength was overrated and
that it couldn't stand a body
blow. He believed the Steven
son delegates were not COM
mitted too strongly and that
their flrst-ballot strength
would be a maximum. But it
hasn't turned out that way. If
the Stevenson contingent had
been seriously hurt by the
Truman maneuver for Gov.
Hartman. there would have
been some evidence of it by
this time.
Naturally, when Mr.. Truman
threw his bombshell, the re-
porters began canvassing the
delegations to see what the
effect was. Almost everybody
was surprised by the firmness
of the Stevenson bloc. 1t shook
a bit but didn't waver. Espe-
cially significant was Mrs.
Roosevelt's intimation that
maybe Harry Truman was
angling for the nomination for
himself or for Senator Syming-
ton of Missouri.
Some delegates promptly
pointed out that it is most
unusual for a party leader to
desert a favorite son as fast as
Mr.. Truman did. The Missouri
delegation. on the other hand,
Is still pledged to cast a ballot
or two for Senator Symington.
He has some strength in other
States, but it is scattered.

CHICAGO.-Adlai Steven
son will go before the Demo-
cratic convention as the wave
of the future. according to
present indications.
He so far is holding the
new faces of the party whose
futures are before them. The
old Truman associates, and
such Southerners as are
tempted by the opportunities
a wide-open convention might
afford. have still to show sig
nificant gains for Gov. Averell
Hartman.
In contrast, Gov. George NJ
Leader of Pennsylvania has
succeeded in improving the
Stevenson position in his State,
Gov. Robert Meyner maintains
a strong grasp on New Jersey,
and pro-Stevenson delegates
in Ohio have beaten back an
effort to prolong favorite-son
balloting for Gov. Frank j..
Lausche.
An uneasy quiet grips the
Southern salient, roughly one
fourth of the convention. Their
emotional drive still centers on
the civil rights plank. What
they will do about candidates
depends upon the shape that
struggle assumes.
The situation is building to-
ward the picture the Republic
can convention in 1852 pre-
sented to the Nation.
Stevenson has got hold
with an assist from Senator
Estes Kefauver-of a moral
issue.
Both men announced their
availability. they went into all

parts of the Union, they fought
each other hard in the princi-
pal primaries. Their thoughts,
their programs and their al
liances were freely and widely
advertised.
Kefauver bloodied Steven
sons nose in Minnesota and
Stevenson came back with a
smashing triumph in Califor-
mia. At that point, Kefauver
began to have the sober
second thoughts which Gull
minated in his admission that
he had been beaten in a fair
fight and was withdrawing in
his conqueror's favor.
In contrast, Hartman en-
tered the contest late, sub
nitted to no primaries and ar
rived here with his own State
plus a few scattered friends
from west of the Mississippi.
His old friend, former Presi-
dent Harry S. Truman, an

Truman's right and privilege.
But the story has not ended
there. Former Truman asso-
ciates have swung into action
from plush suites in the best
hotels and are openly attempt
ing to raid the delegations in
Truman's name. They are lin
ing up the party's rotten
boroughs-those weak Demo-
cratic organizations in rock

ly IN the which COR
respond to the Republican or
