■ [ T [ ? i Boost SSO Loan To > Great Enterprise pl Mother, Son Built Well In Memphis i MEMPHIS, Tenn., UP— A ( moth-er-son team here parlayed a SSO k loan into a multi-million dollar building enterprise which even features baby sitters and kennels tor traveling dogs! It was 20 years ago, when times ’were bad, that Kemmons Wilson, I now $9, tried to interest a friend in business. The friend thought the venture too risky and backed out. Wilson's mother, a grandmother now, joined her son in business and they’ve been together ever since. They borrowed SSO. They've built more than 600 homes and their holdings also include a hotel in Connecticut, a string of movie theaters in Tennessee, Kentucky and Missouri, a millwork and hardware firm and deluxe motels. Wilson says his biggest problem wag building his own home to keep , up with "his srpwing family. Wilsdn has, fi^e'children, ranging in age from sthree to 10 years old. His rambling home is rated as the largest in Memphis on \one floor, with some 7,ff00 feet of floor space. 1 Just about everybody in the family has a private bedroom and bath. From one small house, Wilson's projects grew’ until he was building whole subdivisions. Many times Wilson would tell hjs mother they needed to borrow sdme money to expand. His mother had been putting a little aside all the time and she always seemed tp have the exact amount banked. „ 1 ■ £ !-£ : . f j * ■ The. Wilsons never had it easy in| the early days. Charles Wilson, the father, died when Kemmons was nine months old and Mrs. Wilson worked to support the boy. The baby sitters and [ kennels ' are features of Wilson’s fctririg of motels around Memphis; He calls \ them Holiday Inn Motel Courts. “I don’t like dogs in the rooms, sd I built kennels for people trav-

i\ ————————————— eling with their pets,” he said. “We even have a private exercise area for the dogs.” As for baby sitters, Wilson feels that people traveling with children might like to venture out while tn town, so he has a baby-sitting group on,hand. \ ! 1 ' In addition to being a partner, Wilson’s mother also dbes all the interior decorating for the homes they build. j Wileon estimates that about 3.009 people now live |n homes built by his firm here. Buffalo Bill Cody established ,a record for the Pony Express when bnly 14 years old. He rode the sariie horse for 24 hours, covering more than 200 miles. J \ £

Adlai E. Stevenson . I by Noel F. Bosch 4 I VI — War and Peace

i Slcverison’s'first excursion into ' the war, zones, took place in 1942 in the form of an inspection tour. The area inspected was the entire Pacific theatre and the group did not return to Washington until February 1943. On his first European tour in the summer of 1943, Stevenson headed a Foreign Economic Administration mission. He met General Eisenhower in Na-

[pies, where the General was donducting ah inspection tour. , Eisenhower said, “Well, well, 11 heard you were [here. How’s everything .going?” Stevenson said . everything was [ going as well as could be expected. He and the

.General parted on friendly terms, and have not seen each other siqce. -r Stevenson’s wartime travels, alside from his tour of the Pacific! >. and a trip \to the Carribean, in- ■ eluded visits to Algeria, Tunis, Sicily, Italy, Gibraltar, Liberia, Eng< land, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Holland and Belgium. He was no sooner back in the United States than he became involved in the United Nations Conference at San Francisco. " ' As Secretary of State and Chairman of the U. S. delegation and the Conference, Edward Stettinius ' hkl a hard row to hoc. Moreover, the whole population of the U, S-, as represented in San Francisco by' the press, were upset because they could not find aitiyone who knew what was going on. Eventually, Stevenson was summoned in his familiar role of trouble-shooter* His first move was to arrange to attend thq U. S. delegation’s meetings so that he would be aware pf what was going oh inside them. His next move was to establish - himself, after the meetings, in Room 576 at the Fairmount, whence he dispensed information to the correspondents.' Stevenson’s,next job was at the Preparatory Commission meeting, in London, scheduled for the following August. He was deputy of Stettinius, who having resigned as Secretary of State after the San Francisco Conference, headed the U. S. delegation with the rank of ambassador. Due to illness, Stet; tinius presently returned to the U. leaving Stevenson in charge. As the 1947 autumn meeting of i the General Assembly, to which!he' was an alternate delegate, drew to a close Stevenson decided to enterpolitics in his home state. In considering a career in politics, Stevenson was behaving in a characteristically conscientious fashion. During the war, he had come upon an item in the Stars and Stripe* to which he attributes i «n large part his later decision so enter politics. “It was a public cpihion poll in which seven out of ten American parents said they didn’t want their boys to enter public life,” says Stevenson. “Think Os i it! Boys could suffer and die in their cold, muddy, bloody > campaign for the things we believe in but parents didn’t want their chlldrein to work for thp§g same things. I decided then that if I ever, had 3

chance, I’d go into public life.” His considerations, however, had ' one serious drawback. The politl. I ciahs had never heard o< OU * * Practical Politics . . “Where the hell did you dig up this: guy Add-lay?” a party leader inquired sadly (of Jacob Arvey, Adlai's sponsor for the governorship). “Let alone not knowing him, the voters can’t even pronounce his name. He’ll get his ears beat back." < Stevenson chose an unusual campaign procedure. He promised nobody anything, including Colonel Arvey. . His campaign was based on the issue of corruption, as exemplified in the regime of the incumbent Dwight Green, who opposed him. i When Stevenson defeated Green , by 572,000 votes, while Truman wat nosing out Dewey in Illinois by a mere 34,000, it was one of the most dramatic reversals of the. they • la ughed • when • I • sat • do wn • atthepiano variety ever recorded in the . long history of U. S. politics. Stevenson was unencumbered by political obligations and brought to politics only honesty of the lay variety, and acted as though that, were the only kind. Performance When Stevenson took in 1945, he inherited. a state in which: three thousand miles of highway tverie in urgent heed of immediate repair or reconstruction; mental hospitals were overcrowded, obsolete and understaffed; aid to public Schools was less per capita than in any other state in the union; illicit gambling operated with the professional endorsement of local police; payrolls were padded but legiti■mate state salaries hpd not been raised to meet the cost of living; and charges of every sort of corruption, often well-founded, had undermined confidence in the government generally. In three and a half years in office, Stevenson effected some noteworthy changes. Stevenson set his newly reformed state police force to policing overweight trucks, instead of cheerfully waving them, on their way. He reorganized the highway division, to eliminate graft in handling . contracts and get set for a major building program. Schools. During his term the state’s contribution to schools rose by $139,000,000. Illinois’ education-1 al program is now generally regarded as one of the best.; . Mental Hospitals. Under Stevenson, 85 percent of the attendants were put under civil service. In 1950, Dr. Karl Menmnger of the famous Kansas Clinic, was invited to inspect the hospitals to see what improvements had been made and what further ones were needed. ! Menninger pronounced the Illinois mental hospitals among* the best in the country. Economy. Illinois currently ranks lower in per capita tax collection in relation to per capita income than any other state except Ne* braska and New Jersey. Administrative Methods. Stevenson put through seventy-eight bills aimed at technical Improvements in the efficiency of governmental machinery, r
