his too-drastic stand on the

South's opinion. The Midwest
looks upon him with some

Tammany backing.
Speak Kindly of Kefauver
When Truman declared he
was glad that Stevenson had
beaten Kefauver in the Cali
fornia primary, Gov. Hartman
was quick to say that both
Kefauver and Stevenson were
his kind of Democrats. The
Stevenson people are speaking
kindly of Kefauver, too. 1t all
points to the overriding de-
sires Of both Stevenson and
Hartman to inherit Kefauver
delegates when the balloting
begins at the national conven-
ton. The truth of the matter
is that any Democratic candi-
date-who hopes to win the
presidency this year-must
have the support of the run
of-the-mine voters who go for
the Tennessee Senator.
The Truman opposition to
Kefauver as a candidate is
believed to be largely personal.
The former President appar-
emily has not forgiven Ke-
fauver's 1850 senatorial crime
investigation which trod
roughly on Democratic toes in
some of the big centers, like
Chicago and New York. Nor
did Truman appreciate the
beating that Kefauver admin
istered to a slate of Truman
pledged delegates in the New
Hampshire presidential pri-
mary of 1852. Truman, how
ever. is an ardent Democratic
politician. AS he has said. il
Kefauver should turn up with
the presidential nomination.
Truman would support the
ticket, even If his neart wasn't
in 1t.
SecOnd-SpOt Talk Heard
In some quarters, the belief
is growing that the Stevenson
and Hartman camps would
be willing to take Kefauver as
a vice presidential nominee, if
they could be assured of his
delegates. The talk of a Ste
venson-Kefauver ticket has
come strongly from California
of all places, for Kefauver
bore down heavily on Steven
son and the Democrats sup
porting him in the California
primary. Apparently the Cali
fornia Democrats realize that
if they are to have a chance in
that State next fall, they must
have the Kefauver voters line
up for the ticket. And this is
true in other States. Harri-
man has been in the Midwest
angling for Kefauvel delegates.
Senator Kefauver has said
many times he is not in
terested in a vice presidential
nomination. Why should he
be, if he believes that neither
Stevenson nor Hartman could
win against Eisenhower this
year? Kefauver's a young
man. He can look ahead 10
another presidential nominal
ton. He may reflect, however.
that Franklin D. Roosevelt was
once a defeated VP candidate.

THE POLITICAL MILL
By GOULD LINCOLN
Bidding for Kefouver Delegates

The effort to carve up the
political carcass of Senator
Estes Kefauver of Tennessee
is under way-but Kefauver
and his managers are not TAX
ing it lying down. Anything
but. Not even the Stevenson
victories in Florida and Cali
fornia and the thumbs down
of former President Harry S.
Truman have caused the Ten
nessee Senator to throw in the
sponge Instead. Senator Ke-
fauver plans to campaign &C
lively up to the opening OF
the Democratic National Con-
vention in Chicago next
month. Also, his managers
and friends are seeking second
ballot support from delegates
now committed to Stevenson,
Hartman and various favor
tie son" candidates = they
claim some success. They now
estimate that Kefauver will
go into the convention with
from 243 to 260 delegates
ready to vote for him.
Strength in Rank and File
Kefauver's strength lies in
the support of many of the
rank-and-file voters. from
New Hampshire to Wisconsin
and farther West. There
seems no doubt he has the
favor of many of the farmers
in the Midwest, rather than
Stevenson or Hartman. Wal
lace's Farmer and Iowa Home
stead, widely read farm pub
LEGATION, recently published a
poll of the views of its farm
men readers. 1t showed that
President Eisenhower would
win against Stevenson and
lose to Kefauver. if these
farmers did the electing.
The Kefauver managers say
this is just a further substan-
tiation of their claim that
Kefauver makes far more APP
peal to the farmers than does
Stevenson. Kefauver trounced
Stevenson badly in the Min
nesota primary, it will be re-
membered. The Tennesseean
won the Wisconsin presiden-
tial primary without opposi-
tion-but the Stevenson peo-
pie would not enter that con-
test, although invited in by
Kefauver. The same thing
happened in Indiana.
Truman. just back from his
European tour, so far has de-
clined to say who he is for in
the race for the Democratic
presidential nomination. But
he has made it quite clear he
is against Kefauver. He is
suspected of preferring some
candidate other than Adlal
Stevenson-the present 'front.'
runner-for the simple reason
Stevenson has been beaten by
Eisenhower and probably will
be beaten again if the two
men oppose each other next
November. He is further
suspected of personally favor
ing the nomination of Gov.
Averell Hartman of New York.
But Hartman seems to have
very little voter appeal out
side his own State. The South
doesn't want him because of

Bonn Parliament likewise reaffirmed its
majority support for the over all pro-
Western policies of the Adenauer govern

case also was marked by walkout of
large bloc of opposition deputies, the two
tests demonstrate that the West German
Chancellor still has the strength in
showdown to beat back the efforts to
hamstring his government.

Transition in Cairo

MY compliments to you for
the impartiality and fair
mindedness OF your editorial,
Transition in Cairo" June
90.
When you say that the re-
cent events in Egypt ended
zone more chapter in the
revolutionary story-the strug-
gle for a more modern and
effective government free Of
foreign domination" you ex-
emplify what in my mind is
one of the most admirable
characteristics of Americans:
The ability to understand,
sympathetically, other peo-
pies circumstances.
l appreciate, too, your can
did criticisms. I am sure you
are rejecting honest opinion
when you say that 1T would
be unrealistic to interpret these
changes as meaning that
Egypt has become a full
fledged democracy in the
Western sense of the term. but
it would be less than fair to
deny that they represent a
certain progress toward this
end" l am equally sure you
are voicing the belief of many
Americans when you say that
ahead is the opportunity for
the new government to carry
on with its program of social
and economic reform"
However, the conclusion you
reach that 1.-The Mass r admin
istration intends to continue
its recent policy of dealing and
perhaps bargaining with both
sides" is not correct. l assure
YOU that this kind of bargain
ing is no part of Egyptian
policy.
President NaSser recently
said: He who extends his
hand to us. we shall cooper
ate with him. This is our
course. Our policy is very
clear. We have no ambition
or design, except one aim,
namely to keep our policy free.
independent and serving no.
body's interest but that of
Egypt
Actually, nationalism under
lies our foreign policy. Like
many people today whose
freedom is newly won, and like
your own country some two
centuries ago, We are passing
through a stage Of determined
nationalism. Our feeling is
easily explained. Independ-
ence recently achieved is jeal-
ously guarded. lest it be lost
again. Your own history is
filled with events that attest
to similar reaction on your
part.
The fact that offers of aid
were made to Egypt. and the
fact that she is weighing them
does not mean that she is
playing one side against the
other. 1t simply means that
she is exercising an almost in
stinctive spirit of independ-
ence.
Only a few days ago, Presi-
dent Nasser assured an emf
nent American publisher that
he plans to continue to do all
in his power to bring about
closer relations between Egypt
and the United States.

Joseph C. Grew, board chair

Mr.. Crews statement said
Radio Free Europe has per-
formed the function of a free
press for the people behind the

1T has never been the policy

been the policy to keep the hope
of ultimate freedom alive and to
encourage the captive people to
seek expanding freedom by
peaceful means" Mr.. Grew said.

Although several persons
spoke. DR.. Richard M. Bond,
was spokesman for the special
committee. During the discus
sions it was pointed out that
although the law stipulates
that only eight birds should
be killed in one day by each
hunter and not more than.six
teen in a week, there were
many instances where far
more than the quota was ex-
ceeded. A notable instance
was when a returning visitor
at the airport admitted that
both himself and friend had
over four hundred birds pack
ed in two cartons that they
were taking down.,
It was further pointed out
that hardly three days have
passed and virtually all the
birds have been killed by visit
ors, while the local hunters
have refrained from hunting.
Many suggestions were offer
ed to prevent the few hundred
remaining birds from being
completely wiped out.

there were sufficient laws but
lack of sufficient Police Off
