Nominated CHICAGO (#—~If Adlai E. Steven- son should become the Democratic presidential nominee, Illinois par- ty leaders would encounter a hur- ry-up job to find a replacement for him on the state ticket. The Illinois governor, serving |his first 4-year term, was nomi- nated for re-election in the April | primary. He was unopposed. If the National Convention should draft him for the presidential race, the governorship vacancy on the | ballot in the November election | would be filled by the Democratic | State Central Committee. If the committee could make its |choice by next Tuesday, there | would be only 14 weeks left for a campaign. Election day is Nov. 4, In dodging questions about ac- | ceptance of a draft, Stevenson has |mentioned that his withdrawal from the race for governor would leave his state backers with little | time to wage a successful cam- | paign for the man who would re- iplace him. | Most prominently mentioned as replacements have been Sherwood Dixon, the present lieutenant gov- ernor, and Edward J.

Secretary of the Army Frank Pace announced Tuesday that a‘ shortage of steel has forced the closing of the Chevrolet plant in St. Louis, which makes about half | the Army’s 105-millimeter artillery shell casings. H.3>\ Pace said the shutdown will | “seriously affect the: production of , finished shells by next month” when the impact begins to reach the shell-loading plants. “Of necessity,” he said, “it will continue to affect the production of finished shells for several months thereafter.” The plant, employing 2,600 work- ers, is operated by the Chevrolet Division of General Motors. Already, the strike over wage boosts and a compulsory union shop demanded by the 650,000 members of the CIO United Steel- workers Union had curtailed pro- duction of aircraft and automotive parts vital to the defense program. The trade magazine Iron Age estimated total unemployment re-| sulting from the steel strike at nearly two million workers and! the total loss of the nation’s econ- | omy at four billion dolars. It said | steel production losses will total | 17 million tons by the end of this week. j With no end to the 52-day-old | dispute in sight, Presidential As- sistant John R.
