Adlai Stevenson Wins First Place In
Demo. Aspirants ‘Popularity Contest’
By RELMAN MORIN
NEW YORK, Uf) — The Demo
1 crats held a big, four-hour “beauty
contest,” of 1960 Presidential pos
sibilities Monday night and, based
on applause, the winner was Adlai
E. Stevenson.
Stevenson says he isn’t seeking
the nomination.
Nevertheless, of seven men who
were called to the lectern before
a glittering crowd of Democrats,
! the tops for whoping and holler -
| ing went to Stevenson.
The occasion was a dinner hon
' oring the 75th birthday of Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt. More than
1,000 Democrats paid $100 a plate
I to atend the event and look over
the field.
Former President Harry S.
Truman and a major portion of
the party big-wigs were present.
Truman, bouncy and ebullient as
ever, presided over the “beauty
‘ contest.”
| It was handled with the essence
of tact and diplomacy — so as to
! indicate no preference for any of
j the Presidential hopefuls.
There was no head table. Each
i of the aspirants and potential can
j didates sat with party leaders at
j separate tables.
When dinner ended, the cur
j tains parted on a stage. There,
} seated in a semi-circle with Mrs.
! Roosevelt and Truman in the
i middle, were three U. S. Sena
| tors, three Governors and Steven
j sion — all of whom have been
j mentioned for the Democratic
! nomination.
i Truman, obviously relishing the
i role, called them to speak. He was
| the soul of finesse.
I won’t use any device that
j might indicate I favor any one
; of them,” he said. “They’re all
■ personal friends of mine.”
Carrying caution even further,
j he said he would proceed geo-1
graphically, moving from west to
east across the continent.
That brought Edmund G. (Pat)
Brown, Governor of California,
up first, “A man to be reckoned
with,” said Truman.
Then came Senator Hubert
Humphrey of Minnesota, and Sen
ator Stuart Symington, of Mis
souri. Having now reached the
Middle West, Truman called on
Stevenson.
Stevenson registered well-bred
surprise.
He had already spoken once,
opening the dinner. There had
been applause for him the first
time.
Nevertheless, he rose. So did
many people in the audience.
Cheers and clapping racketed
through the ballroom.
Reporters clocked the recep
tion at 29 seconds. Tops up to that
point had been the applause for
Humhrey, 17 seconds.
Michigan’s Governor G. Men
nen Williams, New Jersey’s Gov
ernor Robert B. Meyner, and Sen
ator John F. Kennedy of Massa
chusetts followed in order. The
aplause for Kennedy lasted 10
seconds.
Once or twice speakers uttered
variations on the theme, “The
man who will be elected the next
President of the United States is
right here in this room.”
That seemed to omit A name
also mentioned — that of Lyndon
Johnson, of Texas.
Magazine Reports
Ike Would Create
First Sectv. Post
j
NEW YORK. UP) — Newsweek
Magazine says President Eisen
hower intends to establish a new
Cabinet post — a virtual prime
ministership more important than
the Vice Presidency.
It said he would have power to
oversee the State Department, the
foreign aid program, and the in
ternational operations of a dozen
different U. S. agencies and de
partments.
The magazine said the Presi
dent wished “to free his successor
from some of the ever-increasing
details of office.”
“The first secretary would rank
with the world’s prime ministers;
and in actual power he would be
above the Vice President and all
present members of the Cabinet,”
Newsweek said.
“He would have authority to
negotiate for the President at in
ternational meetings. As envi
sioned by Mr. Eisenhower, the
First Secretary would be a man
of ‘commanding prestige,’ ac
cepted by Congress and other gov
ernments to speak for the Chief
Executive.”

famous family.
