Pleased at Florida Results Mr. Donohue said that Senator Kefauver had made a wonderful run in the Florida primary campaign, where he won 6 district delegate votes to 22 for Mr. Stevenson. This was done, he said, against a Stevenson campaign "financed by a slush fund unparalleled in Florida primary history." He said; "the Florida results, where Stevenson expected to score a smashing victory, make it all but impossible for Adlai Stevenson to continue to consider himself a serious candidate for the Democratic nomination. On the other hand, Kefauvers ability to poll half of the Democratic votes under such difficult circumstances proves that he is the man who can unify the Democratic party and carry it to victory. I am sure the Democratic leaders across the Nation will see this and act accordingly." Mr. Donohue pointed out that Florida "is the winter the Chicago Democratic machine and its operating boss, Jack Arvey." He said they actively ran the Stevenson campaign there and financed it in alliance with Representative Sikes of Florida. In California, the same combine, he charged, headed by Mr. Arvey's western lieutenant, Paul Ziftren of Beverly Hills, "is making its deals for expediency." One of the objectives of each of the candidates is to win the support of California's large Negro vote. The tremendous influx of population in this State since the start of World War has brought thousands upon thousands of colored people. They constitute a material percentage of the total population. Both appeal to Negroes. Each candidate insists he is devoted to the cause of civil rights—especially as they apply to the Negro citizen. The outstanding issue is the segregation of public schools throughout the country in accordance with the decree of the Supreme Court. On this, the stand of Senator Kefauver and Mr. Stevenson, as expressed over and over again, is practically identical. They say they believe the decision of the Supreme Court is final. Security... We all measure security with dollar marks. And we all want security. If you start with regular payments—small or large—to build a share savings account for future use, we add generous dividends semi-annually. In this way, we help you increase your security and make your saving easier. O mental Building Association Washington's Oldest Savings and Loan Association 600 F St. NW. Established 1861 Court outlawing segregation in the schools is the law of the land. But both have balked at saying they favor forcing segregation on the South without delay of any kind, which is what the National Association for Advancement of Colored People wants. Neither one of them has been anxious to incur the enmity of the very large bloc of Southern delegates to the coming Democratic national convention. During their recent campaign in Florida, they walked carefully. They were afraid that if they showed themselves too strongly in favor of segregation, they might lose the white vote of the South, and if they were soft on the issue, they might lose the support of voters in California and other States of the North and West. In California, Mr. Stevenson and Senator Kefauver find they must fish or cut bait. They both want to fish. How well they fish will be told in the next five days, ending with the primary election next Tuesday. Mr. Stevenson has been built up as a candidate of moderation, who will be more acceptable to the South. Senator Kefauver is seeking to capitalize on this in California. Two More Fights Face Clements LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 31 (/P). — Senator Earle C. Clements today looked stronger for two more battles with Gov. A. B. Chandler over control of the State Democratic Party after wrapping up his renomination in an 80,000 plurality in Kentucky's primary: Tuesday. Senator Clements, the Democratic whip, soundly trounced Chandler-backed former Representative Joe B. Bates for the nomination. Senator Clements and his friends presently control the State party but on June 30 and again on July 3 Mr. Chandler, with his large organization of State workers, could stage a coup. On June 30, the party's county conventions meet to select delegates to the State convention, set for July 3. The State convention will select delegates to the Democratic national convention and also will decide the makeup of the State. Central Committee. Unofficial complete returns from 3,882 of the State's 4,036 precincts showed: Democratic: Clements 211,501; Bates 131,083 Republican: Morton, 39,691; Golden 12,265. In the general election in November, Kentucky will elect a second senator to fill the unexpired term of Senator Alben Barkley. The State central committees of each party may name their candidates or call a special election. Policy Sought for Democrats LANSING, Mich., May 31 (UP). —Michigan Democrats will reach a milestone Saturday in an energetic effort to re-organize national party policy for perhaps a generation into the future. At that time, a carefully drafted document tagged by some as "The Michigan Declaration" will be submitted for final approval by the State Democratic Convention. The next step will be to circulate it through Democratic channels the Nation over. Several of those working on the document agree that it will reflect the viewpoint of the so-called Northern liberals in Michigan, where union labor is a strong political force and the large Negro vote important. Neil Staebler, Democratic State Central Committee chairman, said the civil rights section undoubtedly will be very strong; you can be sure of that. "There will be very little inclination of the segregationists to accept it," Mr. Staebler said. "But there are a lot of people in the South who are working just as earnestly on this as we are." The declaration also will deal with party policy in education, agriculture, labor, foreign affairs, natural resources, highways, welfare, and taxation and the national economy. Vote Literature Ban Is Asked BATON ROUGE, La., May 31 (UP). —Gov. Earl K. Long's Senate leaders yesterday introduced legislation to strike out. Louis Ana's literacy test for vote registration and require a court order to remove a challenged voter from registration rolls. This would knock out the requirement that a registrant be able to read or interpret the Constitution of the United States or Louisiana, first adopted in 1898 to disenfranchise Negroes. The "understanding" section was originally intended to permit friendly registrars to approve registration of white voters while disqualifying Negroes. It has been largely ignored over the State until recently, when the white groups have pressed for stern enforcement of the requirement. Citizens Council protests forced the ouster of Mrs. Winnie Clement, Webster Parish (county registrar of Voters, for disqualifying white voters under the provision after they pushed for stricter enforcement. The Long administration later reinstated Mrs. Clement.

About 250 cheering, applauding persons from throughout Mississippi agreed to qualify independent presidential electors in an attempt to create a foothold for bargaining with either the Republican or Democratic party for full States rights. Circuit Judge M. M. McGowan of Jackson, a founder and key noter of the organizational meeting, offered the hope that if 100 unpledged, independent electors voted in a bloc, they could throw the election into the House of Representatives where each State has one vote. Other Groups Active Visitors from Alabama and Louisiana reported similar plans afloat in their States. Judge McGowan said Mississippi for States Eights was organized on the assumption that neither major party would nominate candidates acceptable to the South. His group, however, does not have the backing of the Governors of the States involved. Instead, the group criticized Govs. J. S. Coleman of Mississippi, James Folsom of Alabama, Earl Long of Louisiana and Orval Faubus of Arkansas for what New Red Invitations Seen After Twining Accepts By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER proving relationships with the Associated Press Staff Writer Soviet Union. Some informed United States Await Broader Bid officials believe Moscow will follow up its successful bid to the United States. Gen. Nathan F. Twining with the invitation to Mr. Eisenhower that the invitations to other American military leaders to visit Russia, directly to the United States, would be accepted. Members of the Soviet high military, the invitation to Gen. Twining, would lead later on to the kind announced yesterday that “with the broader bid which would more directly serve American interests,” Gen. Twining had accepted an invitation to a Soviet aviation day celebration June 24. Gen. Twining, Air Force chief of staff, will be accompanied by several subordinate officers. Mr. Quarles said the decision to accept had been approved also by Secretary of Defense Wilson and Secretary of State Dulles. The Russian embassy was advised of the decision. President Eisenhower's taking personal responsibility for the decision indicated the seriousness he and his chief advisers attached to it. The decision for Gen. Twining to accept was speeded by a weekend report from Ambassador Charles E. Bohlen in Moscow. It made clear that the bid to Gen. Twining was firm. This indicated that the Soviet government was not interested. For the moment in inviting other members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for a tour of Russian military establishments. Prior to receipt of Mr. Bohlen's dispatch, many officials had been inclined to regard as tentative the original informal approach by the Russian Embassy. Comments from the White House and Defense Department showed they would welcome a broadened invitation, but when it became evident that this would not be forthcoming soon, the decision was made for Gen. Twining to accept. As a matter of policy, it appears that Soviet moves for increasing military contacts with the United States have confronted Mr. Eisenhower and his chief advisers with a choice of difficult and risky alternatives. 1. How can the United States enter into friendly military relations with Russia without causing its allies and the free world generally to lower its guard and relax vigilance against Soviet communism? 2. On the other hand, can the United States afford to cold shoulder Soviet moves for more normal relations in the military field without appearing to other countries to have a kind of iron curtain of its own? Most officials here seem to believe that evidence of what they term a negative attitude on the part of Washington would weaken United States leadership in the free world. The practical issue is how to avoid any weakening of the West's military alliances without appearing to be opposed to immediate call a lack of leadership against Federal encroachment upon States rights. Permanent Chairman Named The charter members of the States Rights group elected W.B. Fontaine of Jackson, their permanent chairman, Mr. Fontaine was administrative assistant to the late former Gov. Fielding Wright, vice presidential candidate on the 1948 States Rights ticket. In an interview in South Carolina, former Gov. Strom, Thurmond said he at present does not advocate the movement for independent presidential electors. He added, however, that if the Democratic National Convention does not nominate a suitable candidate "it may become necessary to nominate a third candidate or set up a third set of electors." He was States Rights candidate for President in 1952. "I certainly would not throw any cold water on anything that is being done to preserve States’ rights," he said. Mr. Eisenhower himself is described as convinced that more and closer American-Russian contracts are in themselves desirable. He is said to feel such contacts may well work in the interest of peace to the extent that they open up Russia to more Westerners. Ever since the summit conference at Geneva last July, the administration has been pressing Russia to take measures which would open up the Soviet Union to foreign inspection. Although the Khrushchev-Bulgarian regime has relaxed some controls on foreign travel inside Russia and has promoted exchanges of delegations, the strength and disposition of Soviet forces still remains largely a mystery to the West. By contrast, as Mr. Eisenhower told Premier Bulgarian at Geneva, the strength of Western military forces and their disposition is pretty much an open book to the Russians. Thus a major objective of United States policy continues to be to get the Soviet government to do its best to keep it in the hands of the Soviet government. Etats to lift the secrecy which now surrounds their military power and deal openly on questions concerned with military strength.

Mr. Murray’s group has about 3,000 Federal employees. The Federation has none. Mr. Murray said he expects that after the merger, jurisdiction over the 3,000 Federal employees members will be relinquished and that they will be eligible to join the various Federal and postal workers unions in the AFL-CIO. Headquarters of the new organization is expected to be in Washington eventually, although the Federation now has its offices in Madison, Wis. The former CIO group had its offices here and a unit of the combined organization will continue here. The Federation for several years has considered moving its offices here. An announcement of such a move is expected shortly. The merger will make the Federation with its 145,000 members the largest single group of public employees in the country. The largest Federal employee group—the National Federation of Post Office Clerks—has about 110,000 members. Georgia Governor Backs Stevenson ATLANTA, May 31 (/P).—Gov. Marvin Griffin has indicated that Georgia's 32 votes in the Democratic national convention will be cast for Adlai Stevenson on the first ballot. Mr. Griffin, who is favorable to the former Governor of Illinois, declined to say flatly what the delegation would do. But he told a news conference: "I am satisfied the Georgia delegation will not vote for Gov. Averell); Harriman or (Senator Estes Kefauver." The possibility of Senator Symington of Missouri as a dark horse was raised at the news conference but Mr. Griffin said he could not comment since "I don’t know anything about." him—either for him or against him.” Mr. Griffin was pleased with Mr. Stevenson's victory in the Florida primary. The Georgia delegation is uninstructed and will vote as a unit. Stevenson Retains Slim Alabama Lead BIRMINGHAM, Ala., May 31 1-4’).—Adlai Stevenson retained a slim vote majority of the Alabama delegation to the Democratic National Convention as a tabulation of the State party runoff primary neared completion. Twenty-seven of 52 delegates already named or leading in Tuesday's runoff have expressed a leaning toward the 1952 Democratic presidential candidate. Each member of the delegation will have one-half vote. The delegation will go to the convention unpledged. THE EVENING STAR, Washington, D. C. THURSDAY, MAY 31, 1925 STEVENSON LEADS REFUSAL IN PLEDGED VOTES, 174-133 By the Associated Press The pledged and favorably committed Democratic National Convention votes for Adlai Stevenson have now grown to 174. Senator Estes Refusal has 133. The new totals in Mr. Stevenson's column include 22 from Florida and 31 2 from Alabama; in Senator Refusal's are six from Florida. Sixty-eight delegate votes are at stake next Tuesday in California, the last direct primary clash between the two. There will be 1,372 votes in the convention, with 686 5 needed for nomination. There are 180.5 votes for "others" and 344 uncommitted. The 180.5 votes for "others" are spread among 10 men. The leading three are Senator Lyndon Johnson, with 56.5; Gov. Frank Lausche of Ohio, with 54, and Senator Stuart Symington, with 46. Defense Bill, WOC Curb Up for Debate in House By the Associated Press The House called up for debate today a bill to extend President Eisenhower's defense production powers and to expand disputed restrictions on use of unpaid business in Government. The bill would continue for another two years the wartime authority of the President to purchase and allocate strategic materials, and to establish production and supply incentives to meet defense mobilization goals. There appeared to be no concerted opposition to an extension, although seven Democratic members of the House Banking Committee contended one year is enough. They said the entire defense program should be subject to a yearly review by Congress. WOC Restrictions Added Over strong administration objections, the Banking Committee wrote into its draft of the bill additional restrictions on a program authorized last year to train businessmen for Government duties in the event of a future war. Under this "executive reserve" program, defense agencies may recruit business executives from private life to fill key Government posts in an emergency as "WOC's"—or "without compensation" officials. The committee bill would require such reserve officials to file public statements of their financial interests. Such statements are now required only of "WOC's" actively working for the Government. This requirement was applied last year after accusations that some businessmen used such Government posts to promote their private interests. Invasion of Privacy Application of the requirement to reserve "trainees" was vigorously opposed by Secretary of Commerce Weeks as an "unwarranted invasion of privacy." The committee, however, recommended it with the statement that it "will provide increased safeguards against conflicts between the Government activities of these trainees and their private interests."

Stevenson's Lead Now Tops 12,000 MIAMI, Fla., May 31 (/F\— Adlai Stevenson’s slate of delegates to the Democratic National Convention has slowly run up more than a 12,000-vote lead over that of Estes Kefauver in Florida’s second primary. With only 23 of the State's 1,778 precincts unreported, Mr. Stevenson was leading in total votes. 221,718 to 209,447. This lead, slim as it is, assured Mr. Stevenson of 22 Florida votes at the Democratic National Convention. Mr. Kefauver will have only six from the State. President Eisenhower won the State’s 26 votes in the Republican National Convention against only nominal opposition from Senator William F. Knowland of California.
