Demos Try to Draft Stevenson
By United Press International
A nationwide drive to draft a reluctant Adair E. Stevenson for the Democratic presidential nomination is underway and has progressed to the organized stage in at least forty-five states, a survey revealed today.
Groups aiming at enlisting the twice-defeated presidential candidate for a third attempt have been forced in Wisconsin, Missouri, Ohio, California and Texas.
Other Stevenson movements also were brewing in Oregon and Kansas, and the national drive was reported forming groups in New York City and Washington, D. C.
But the majority of states reported that even if there is considerable sentiment for Stevenson, most democrats feel it more expedient to back a candidate who has not lost twice in seeking the nation's highest office.
Democrats to Cast Ballot for Docking
WICHTA, Kam. — (UPI)— M. R. (Maek) Lee, Sedgwick County Democratic chairman, said today the Kansas delegation to the Democratic National Convention should cast its first Presidential nomination ballot for Governor George Docking.
"After the first ballot, we'll caucus and decide what to do on the second," he said.
The Kansas delegation has 21 votes. Lee said the delegation will abide by the unit rule, casting all of its ballots for whomever the majority decides.
"I'm getting more pressure now than I did in 1951 and 1955 from individuals and groups," Stevenson told newsmen at Savannah, Ga., last Dec. 11.
The reluctance of top Democrats to support Stevenson mirrors his own reluctance to run again, desultate mounting pressure.
He has repeatedly urged an Oregon draft Stevenson committee to
seattle attempts to petition for 1,000 signatures and qualify under a new law for placing Stevenson's name on the May 20 presidential primary.
"I have said repeatedly that I'm not a candidate for the Democratic nomination, and that I hope my friends will respect my wishes and not enter me in the Oregon primary," he said last Oct. 2 in Chicago.
Butler Says Strike End Rigged to Elect Nixon
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Democratic National Chairman Paul M. Butler charged yesterday that the Eisenhower Administration engineered the end of the steel strike "to insure the election" of Vice President Richard M. Nixon as the next president.
Sen. Thruston B. Morton (R-Ky), the Republican National Chairman, immediately denied the accusation. He and Butler locked horns in a television debate (American Forum of the Air).
Butler said: "The most significant statement that was made (about the steel settlement) was by the Wall Street Journal, which is certainly not a Democratic source."
He said the Administration "allowed the strike to exist" and then made a "political fix" to end it.
"The Wall Street Journal claimed that Vice President Nixon made a
deal with the steel companies whereby they would agree to this settlement and withhold any price increase until after 1960," Butler said, "until after the election."
Morton, who disagreed with Butler point-by-point in their debate over the steel strike and other issues, declared "I feel sure that the Vice President made no deal with any company about when it would or would not raise prices."
Morton accused the Democratic party of taking "great credit among the steelworkers for this settlement, saying that ambassador (Joseph P.) Kennedy, the father of Sen. (John F.) Kennedy, one of your candidates for the presidency, brought about this settlement.
O'Connor Sees Need for More Defense Spending
Russia and China are dedicated to world domination and the United States doesn't have the military posture to stop them, Raymond O'Connor, visiting assistant professor of history and a former naval officer, said Friday.
Prof. O'Connor discussed national defense at the Current Events Forum.
"We can spend much more money on defense. No one is making any sacrifices. And our military policy is inadequate because the defense policy is tailored to the budget," he said.
Prof. O'Connor said:
"Our present military policy is based on massive retaliation. The question arises as to whether or not we build forces only for retaliation. Apparently we can't strike first because of public opinion, so we must have a defense that can't be penetrated and a retaliation force. The Polaris submarine is the key to this.
"Then on the other hand," Morton replied, "If there is to be any (steel) price increase it is all Vice President Nixon's fault."
"With the Polaris we could have an invulnerable retaliatory force. At the present our retaliatory force is extremely vulnerable. The locations of all our bases are known. Only the locations of our carriers, which can be moved, are a secret. At the present we only have one working ICBM missile, and it will be a year before we have a working Polaris.'
Draft on Way Out
He said that if the thaw in the cold war continued the draft would probably end in about two years. Prof. O'Connor, withdrawn.
"I think that the amalgamation of our armed forces, in terms of command, is coming and it is probably the best thing. At the present there is too much inter-service bickering. Right now the Army is being reduced to an auxiliary role."

Referring to the missile race he said:
"McElroy (Neil, ex-secretary of defense) said we will be behind the Russians in missile production for the next three years. If we could hold out until then we could catch them.
"I think they will reach the saturation point in missile production in the next few years and will then convert to consumer goods which the Russian people are clamoring for. We will keep producing and will eventually narrow the gap."
"We won't have a disarmament until we have security, and we won't have security until we have a strong United Nations police force. We should put more power into the U.N. The United States is approaching disarmament with skepticism because they (Russia and Red China) have not lived up to their past agreements. Unilateral disarmament would put the free world at the mercy of communist aggression."
Prof. O'Connor concluded:
"I don't think Russia wants an ultimatum. I think she can win (the U.S.-Russian conflict) without a war. But if they do push us I think we will fight — yes, we will fight."
Symington's Chances For President "Better"
COLUMBIA, Mo. — (UPI) — Gov. James T. Blair Jr., said last night Sen. Stuart Symington's (D-Mo) chances of becoming the Democratic candidate for president are "getting better all the time."
Symington would be a "strong candidate" and the Missouri senator's popularity was growing daily. Blair said, in a television appearance on station KOMU-TV here.

The Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation has presented $8,000 to KU. This is $2,900 for each Wilson Fellow now enrolled in the Graduate School.
The grant is to assist advanced students and to strengthen the graduate program. Of each $2,000, at least $1,500 is to be used for assisting any graduate student beyond the first year who is genuinely interested in a teaching career. The remaining $500 may be spent at the discretion of the institution for improving the graduate program.
The foundation is distributing $1,934,000 to graduate schools, with about 80 per cent going to 20 universities having the most Wilson Fellows. KU received 36 per cent of the grants made in the Big Eight Conference. It has four of the 11
Fellows studying at member schools this year.
The graduate grant program supplements the regular Woodrow Wilson Fellowship plan. Last spring 12 KU seniors were awarded this honor from a total of 17 awards made to Kansans and 36 in the Big Eight Conference.
