In fact, Mr.. Miller said,
President Eisenhower has led

Mr.. Stevenson, by indicating
he would reverse the trends of
the Eisenhower administration,
has, Mr.. Miller said, framed
neatly the issues for the forth

Blood Quote
Held Must

The 1860 Government blood
donor quota of $4,000 pints has
been labeled as "an absolute
must" and a continuing obli-
cation" by Philip McCallum,
mittiee of the recruitmant.
Mr.. McCallum told the exec
utive committee members at a
luncheon yesterday that last
year the Federal department
donations fell 10000 pints short
of the 28,000-pint quota.
This shortage cannot again
afflict our citizens" he said.
Constant vigilance to see that
we are doing our best is defin-
itely necessary in all matters
which involve giving"
DR.. Raymond E. Dart, medi-
cal director-a administrator of
the Washington Regional Blood
Center, told the committee
members that "the Red Cross
should not be dependent on the
dedicated few who give many
times more than requested
while others give nothing"
The luncheon, held at the
District Chapter Red Cross

marked the start of this years

partmentS and agencies.

NEW YORK, April IA (AP).-
A recently organized group of
Adlai E. Stevenson supporters
announced today that they
hope to get a million or more
signatures of persons in this
area on petitions urging that
he be drafted for the Demo-

the committee, said the group
was formed with 18 persons a
few weeks ago and that it now
has more than $50 members.
He said the group would not
be against any Democratic
candidate but merely working
for the drafting of Mr.. Steven
son. He said the committee
had not contacted Mr.. Steven

Star STAFF Writer

Any old age health insurance
legislation to reach the House
or Senate this year will have
to operate within the general
framework of the social securi-
ty system, influential Demo-
Gratis said today.
But odds are against action
on the bill sponsored by Repre-
sentative Forand, Democrat of
Rhode Island, unless greatly
changed and modified. The For
and bill would provide compre-
hensive old age health insur-
ance within the social security
system and financed by social
security tax increase.
Democratic leadershipS' ef-
forts to work out a more limit
ed version repeatedly would
center on a program that would
use the social security system
at least in part.
1t also would increase from
$4,000 to $4,000 the earnings
base on which employees and
employers pay social security
taxes. The White House op-
poses such an approach and
sponsors a voluntary program.

Possibly more significant,
however, the Vice President fell
more than 10000 votes short
of the total rolled up by Sena-
tor Douglas, a Democratic lib
eral who was unopposed for re-

Senator Goldwater said this
outcome could be discounted

Douglas had done what he
called a good job of campaign

5 Top Democrats Give
Views on Major Issues

NEW YORK, April IA (AP)
Peace, the Communist threat,
defense and the role of the
United States in world leader
ship ranked high as five lead
ing Democrats today outlined
their views on what they con-
slider the major issues of the
presidential campaign.
The comments appeared in
a new publication distributed
by a group of insurgent Demo-
Gratis. The group is headed
by Herbert H. Lehman, former
New York Governor and Sen
ator; Thomas K. Finletter, for
mer Air Force Secretary, and
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Candidates for the presiden-
tial nomination were among
those commenting.
The comments were, in part ::
Former President Harry S.
Truman-"Peace is the most
important issue. The man
chosen must know where the
country should go and what to
do about it. He should be able
to make the necessary decisions
without hesitation"
Adlai E. StevenSon-The ma
jor issue sis whether we will
continue to accept false assur-
ances that things are all right
and that we can't afford any
thing better, or whether we are
going to demand truth in gov
ernment and then seize the
opportunities the truth will
offer us. The issue is whether
we will bury our talents as a
nation or will use them fully
for equal justice and opportu-
nifty for fuller lives for peace
not just for ourselves but for
the peace of the world"
Senator Humphrey of Mime
sota-"The basic issue is the
need for dynamic and creative
leadership to arouse America
to the gravity of Communist
competition in all fields and
rally her great moral and ma
terial forces to meet it and
press on to the establishment

Wisconsin" Senator Mansfield
said. Returns from those two
normally Republican States
indicate that they are now
Democratic"
Nixon Aides Disagree
Mr.. Nixon's lieutenants don't
agree with this assessment.
They have plenty of precedent
for their view that how a can
didate runs in an unoppoSed
primary has little to do with
his final showing in November.
Nevertheless, they could be
disturbed by the failure of
nearly 100000 Republicans who
voted in the G. o. P. Cover
nor's race to take the trouble
to cast a ballot for Mr.. Nixon,
even though he was unopposed.
They obviously recognize
this, and Mr.. Nixon's failure to
keep pace with potential Demo-
cratic presidential rivals in
Wisconsin, as encouraging to
those Republicans who still
hope to draft Gov. Nelson A.
Rockefeller of New York for
the nomination.
If the May Indiana primary
should find Mr.. Nixon running
behind Senator Kennedy on
separate ballots on which
neither is opposed-in what
has been regarded in the past
as a Republican State-some
changes in campaign strategy
may be forthcoming.

mel partly in foreign currencies
in countries where United
States money might be used in
black market operations.
The proposal, an amendment
to the foreign aid bill, was spon-
sored by Senator Fulbright,
Democrat of Arkansas, commit
tee chairman. 1t is aimed at
preventing situations like that
which arose in Turkey last year
when some members of the
United States armed forces
were accused of trading in
black market currency.
The committee adopted this
and other amendments before
postponing until next Wednes-
day additional voting on Presi-
dent Eisenhower's SALTS, ,000,-
600 foreign aid program.
Under the amendment, the
United States Ambassador-if
he finds it necessary because
OF black market operations -
may issue uniform regulations
applying to all United States
personnel and contractor en-
ployes requiring that a part of
their pay and allowances re-
ceived in that country be paid
in local currency.
Committee aides said the re-
striction against payment in
American dollars that could be
used to buy currency in the
black market would apply only
to that part of their pay and
allowances that is received fol
spending within the country
and not to pay checks de.

the Navy took away her Secu-
rity badge.
The dissenting judges con-
tended that the woman was en-
titled to a hearing under a
Supreme Court ruling made
last year.
The case involves Mrs. Ra-
chael- NJ. Brawner of the 230O
block of Pomeroy road Sc. In
November, 1856. Mrs. Brawner
was stopped at the plant gate
and her security badge was
taken away, thus preventing
her from going to work at a
cafeteria at what was then
called the Naval Gun Factory,
where she had been employed
for 612 years.
Offered New Job
Mrs. Brawner had been rated
an above-average employe by
M. & M. Restaurants, Inc,
which had the cafeteria conces-
sion at the factory. She was
offered another job by M. & M.
in Virginia, which she refused.
Last years Supreme Court
decision involving employe Sc
curity had different facts and
therefore has no bearing on
the Brawner case, Judge Pretty
man said.
The case involved William
Greene, vice president of the
Engineering & Research Corp.
of Riverdale, Md. He had been
dismissed in 1853 after the
Acting Secretary of the Navy
wrote his employer that he
should be barred from CLASH
fled files and projects. The
high court said the Defense
Department was not author
lied either by the President or
Congress to lift Mr.. Greene's
security clearance without a
hearing at which he could face
his accusers.
Decision Reversed
Two Court of Appeals judges
who heard the Brawner case
last summer ruled that the
woman was entitled to a hear
ing in line with the findings
in the Greene case. But to-
days opinion reversed that de-
ciSion.
The Brawner case involves
a Navy plant and the laws
clearly permit the Government
to provide for security of its
own installations, the majority
held. The Greene case dealt
with disbarment from a chosen
occupation. Mrs. Brawner was
not fired, but only offered a
transfer, it was pointed out.
The right to protect the
privacy of such premises is of
the highest priority, Judge
Prettyman observed. No citizen
has a natural or inherent right
to enter such premises, he
added.

Grain STORAGE
PolicyHit
BySymington
By the Associated Press

Senator Symington, Democrat
OF Missouri, today described
the Department of Agricul-
lures handling of the billion
dollar grain storage program
as management in the dark. "
Senator Symington, a can
didate for the Democratic pres
idental nomination, accused
the department of conducting
the program without any ac-
tual knowledge of the cost of
storing grain"
His statement said until the
department knows more about
the cost it can only continue
to set storage rates which re-
suit in excessive profits to some
operators but deny others the
opportunity to earn a fair
profit"
Senator Symington is chair
man of a special subcommittee
has been investigating
the administration of the grain
storage program. The depart
ment and representatives of the
grain trade are currently nego-
tiating a renewal of the uniform
grain storage agreement.
Senator Symington said re-
quests have been made to Sec
retary of Agriculture Benson
that the negotiations be held
up until his committee has
made its report, but he main
tained the committee should
not make any specific recon-
as to rates.
"The establishment of those
rates obviously is the proper
function of the executive
branch" he added.
Senator Symington said the
department had spent S2.5 bill
lion on the grain storage pro-
gram in the past seven years,
having made any cost
studies at all.

enter was subject to the fat
unequivocal contract provision
that employees permitted en-
trance to the factory must meet
the security requirements of the
command" Judge Prettyman
wrote.
Fahy DissentS
Mrs. Brawner's attorneys had
contended that the Govern
ment'S action had besmirched
her reputation. Judge Pretty
man commented that nobody
has said that Brawner is dis
loyal or is suspected of the
slightest shadow of intentional
wrongdoing."
The dissenting opinion by
Judge Charles Fahy disagreed.
The deprivation of employment
on security GROUNDS is a grave
injury, he noted.
The decision was the first
opinion involving all nine
judges in more than a year.
The division was reflected by
Judge Fahy's statement which
criticized the fact that the case
had been reconsidered.
Judge John A. Danaher, who
had concurred with the ma
jority, answered that "condem-
nation of the present majority"
seemed inappropriate.
Judges Wilbur K. Miller,
Warren E. Burger and Walter
M. BaStian concurred with the

eight Republican Senators who
introduced a bill this week. Un-
der that measure all persons

small monthly sums for insur-
ance against hopSital, nursing
