Presidential Race By The Associated Press Gen. Dwight D, Eisenhower's first major speech since winning the Republican Presidential nom- ination—and the relatively small crowd he drew—were under study today by leaders of both parties. An estimated crowd of 14,000 speckled the Los Angeles Coliseum which seats 103,000 as Eisenhower addressed the 53rd annual-encamp- Clyde-Mallory Dock ment of the Veterans of Foreign | sw Wars. He labeled his maiden address “nonpolitical” but the 10-point pro- gram he outlined is viewed by the Eisenhower camp as a likely blue- print for the general’s forthcoming campaign, scheduled to start of- ficially Sept. 1. Among the points mentioned ‘were: A buildup of America’s strength; Prosperity based on peace, not war; honesty in government; pro- tection of earnings: and savings from a “double toll of high prices and high taxes”; and equality for all. Eisenhower later conferred with his running mate, Sen. Richard M. Nixon, GOP vice presidential nominee, and other officials, and flew back to Denver. Democratic Presidential Nomi- nee Adlai Stevenson of Illinois mapped a conference today with Sen. Richard Russell of Georgia as signs pointed increasingly to growing support for the Stevenson- Sparkman ticket in the Deep South. Russell, one of Stevenson’s lead- ing opponents in the battle for the Democratic presidential nomina- tion, is expected to pledge full support and offer his help in the campaign months ahead. The Illinois governor received a promise of support Tuesday from Mississippi. There wére indications that South Carolina Democrats, re- convening their state convention to- day, would find him acceptable. Both Mississippi and South Caro- lina bolted the Democratic Party in 1948 because of differences over civil rights legislation—a touchy point this year for both parties. Support of Stevenson and his run- ring mate, Sen, John Sparkman of Alabama, came from another quar- Citizen Staff Photo PICTURED ABOVE is the Clyde-Mallory dock which the City of Key West proposes to buy.

Administration choices were hav- fing tough going in some, candi- dates backed by Eisenhower sup- ‘porters were see-sawing in others, This is the picture: Missouri—Stuart Symington, a former administration trouble shooter, decisively defeated Attor- ney General J, E. Taylor, Presi- dent Truman’s choice for the Dem- ocratic U, S, senatorial nomina- tion. There was little contest among Republicans—Sen. James P. Kem of Kansas City had renomination clinched early. Kansas—An otherwise dufl pri- mary was highlighted by the tight battle between Wayne Ryan, backed by Eisenhower supporter Gov. Edward Arn, and Fred Hall for the lieutenant governorship. ‘The race had possible future po- litical patronage _ ramifications should Eisenhower be elected Pres- ident. Ryan was trailing. Michigan — Among the Demo- erats, Gov. G. Mennen Williams, soap fortune heir, had no opposi- tion; Sen. Blair Moody was a shoo- in over Louis C. Schwinger. The Republican race, which will mame men to oppose them in No- vember, was more bitterly fought, but wealthy Fred M. Alger Jr., was ahead and Charles E. Potter rolled up a good lead over his nearest rival for the GOP sena- torial nomination. An interesting si ht in the Kansas primary was election of young Alvin M. Bentley as GOP nominee to the House of Repre- sentatives.

The directors of the group, at a special meeting Monday, approved a resolution declaring that the New York Negro Democrat “‘is a leader but not a controller of the Ameri- can Negro.” The resolution added in part: “for the American Negro to fail to exercise his hard won voting franchise would invite disaster, not only as Negroes, but as Ameri- cans.” WASHINGTON — Uncle Sam wound up the fiscal year on June 30 with 112,999 more civilian work- ers on the payroll than when the year started.
