Adlai Stevenson’s announce
ment he again will seek the
Democratic (presidential nomin
®tion creates hardly a ripple in
political affairs. He’s been rain
ing all along, and there is no
doubt he is at present the lead
ing candidate.
iMore .titillating is the expres
sed reaction oif Averell Harri
man, governor of New York,
formerly a highly prescient
member of the Democratic
team of international experts,
and the aiptple of some impor
tant Democratic eyes.
Harriiman Said Stevenson had
done well in 1952. and would
do well again, with the full sup
port df New York “if renomin
ated.” Earlier in the day Harri
man had said anybody who
wanted the nomination would
have to work for it. “I’m not go
iag to work for it,” he said.
He didn’t issue any orders to
#top those who have been doing
the work for him.
As for the other man who
has been mentioned among the
Democratic “'big three” possi
bilities. Estes Kefauver’s fri
ends went right ahead watch
ing, listening and working, too
'Rut much time has passed
since he was the popular chair
man df the much-televised sen
ate crime investigating com
mittee, and he is from Tennes
see, sometimes called a border
state, but still forther south
any major partv candidate has
come from in modern times.
As for the other hopefuls,
their major reliance was on the
possibility that the top men
would block one another out of
the game.
Stevenson’s statement is a
modest one, 'but representing
an attitude far different from

the one he displayed in 1952,
when he waited for the party
to draft him.
Now he has nine months of
campaigning before the con
vention, and will probably en
ter a number of presidential
primaries.
Even though Hartfiman is
probably not as reluctant as he
sounds, this creates a possibil
ity which might be used to fur
ther complicate Republican
troubles.
Stevenson is a widely res
pected man on a non-partisan
basis. When President Eisen
t hower was believed practical
i ly certain to seek renominataon
J nearly all Democrats were will
j ing to let Stevenson have the
, honor Of trying to unseat him.
{Against ia lesser Republican
i figure, many others decided
j they might have a chance,
j This produced talk of a wide
open convention.
Now that Stevenson’s deter
mination is clear, there could
be some changes of heart. Not
only because of the formidable
Stevenson, tout also for the sake
Of party unlity, now that many
observers are discounting an
other southern secession move
ment.

have a very rough time putting
over anyone less than chief
justice Earl Warren, who has
issued an unequivocal rejec
tion of the idea.
If the Democrats should pro
duce great signs of unity be
fore their convention, you can
expect a lot more “draft War
ren talk.”
90 Red subs could
blockade Japan
TOKYO UP) The commander
cvf American navy forces in the
Far East said T oday the 90 Rus
sian submarines now statiioned
at Siberian bases could block
ade Japan effectively in event
of a war.
Vice Admiral William M.
Callaghan told a luncheon at
the Foreign Correspondents
Clulb that at least' 90 Russian
submarines “are can able of
blockading Japan unless addi
tional forces are suraipMed by
Jaioan or the United States.
He called the Russian sub
marines “one of the greatest
threats we face” in the Far
