Gov. Stevenson Would Fit Nominee Pattern

’ Washington, Feb. 21.—(UP)— • Gov. Adlal Ewing Stevenson of Illinois would Just * about fit the Democratic presidential nominee pattern if President Truman decided to retire. Stevenson is in the last year of a four year term as governor,. He ( is 52 and an apprentice seaman , veterap of World War I. ■ .* ' In FDR’s first term agricultural 1 adjustment administration, Stevenson was general counsel. AAA was held by the supreme court to be unconstitutional. The governor held high war time and post-war office in the navy and state departments. He helped. put the United Nations together and | served as a general assembly delegate. In general terms, Stevenson is all out for Mr. Truman’s foreign policy, lags a bit behind him on some domestic questions. Stevenson is not a state's rights man. But he is suspicious of big central government and would leave much more responsibility and power to the states than would Mr. Truman ; The governor and Mrs. Ellen Borden Stevenson were in Decemmber, 1949. There was no scandal nor even hint of such. But divorce is never a political asset. They were married Dec. 1, 1928, and have three children. Here are some positions Stevenson has taken on public questions: Foreign policy: "We want no ; more Munichs. As much as we hate war. we have drawn the sword in unprecedented defense of peace, security, and Justice. We know that force without justice is tyranny and that Justice without force is impotent.'*? t MacArthur: "No one has done more than Gen. MacArthur to preserve our system of government But it is a system in which civilian control of the military is basic. As a great military leader his apparent departure from fundamental military principle is hard to ! understand." Our only compensai tion for a great loss . is the reaffirmation of a great principle.” Medical insurance: Does not endorse government-sponsored : health insurance, but says making gopd medical care available to all is one of the great pending social problems. Believes the solution lies in some compromise between private initiative and government initiative. Civil rights: Twice failed to persuade the legislature to enact a fair employment practices bill. Presumably favors state as against ..federal legislation on basis of his belief tjiat states should not "ab- . dicate” their responsibilities. Stevenson holds that voluntary usually is better than a law. Mine safety: Believes it is a responsibility of individual states, not of the federal government. Taxes and spending: As governor he increased welfare and education spending and sought, to economize elsewhere. He increased gasoline and truck taxes. Stevenson vetoed numerous so-called pork-barrel billsz and cut expeditures by the veterans commission. In retlponie to American Legion protest?, Stevenson told the state Legion convention that

veterans must npt regard govern- 1 rnent aid as a “gravy train.” He; said taxpayers would rebel against unreasonable demands. Wage-price controls: He is regarded as in general agreement with administration policy. However, he said In 195<F-"I don't like government doles XXX subsidies. I don’t like interference with free . jnarkets, free men, free enterprise, I like freedom to succeed or f4.ii?’ J Taft-Hartley act: Stevenson is 4>t on record.
