Stevenson Continues To Work on Speeches He'll Make on Tour By J. A. O'Leary SPRINGFIELD, HI., Sept. 16. Gov. Stevenson today continued to work on the speeches he will make on his trip into New England and the South starting Thursday with a major address at Hartford, Conn. Sandwiched in today was a schedule of callers including Laurence F. Lee, president of the United States Chamber of Com merce: a Tennessee delegation headed by Frank Clement, Demo cratic candidate for Governor, and Thomas Fairchild, Democratic op ponent of Senator Joseph R. Mc- Carthy, Wisconsin Republican. The Democratic nominee indi cated yesterday that he may drop his attack on the “two-headed Re publican elephant” and try to convince original Eisenhower backers that the elephant now has only a Taft head. Hints at Shift in Strategy. Gov. Stevenson hinted at this switch in strategy at yes terday’s press conference, when he said, “It now appears brutally clear that Senator Taft has taken over.” This, he added, “puts an entirely new aspect on the cam paign.” But the press conference also pointed up the fact that the Dem ocratic donkey is not entirely free from surplus head trouble, as re flected by the civil rights issue in the South and the break between the regular ’ Democrats and the liberal party over senatorial candi- Ogv. Stevenson admitted that the XMgnoerats have divisions, but contended the issue between the North and South over civil rights is not as dangerous to the effec tiveness of the party as a whole as are the philosophical differ ences among Republicans. Wouldn’t Name Vatican Envoy. Gov. Stevenson again demon- i strated his willingness to say, where he stands on controversial I issues when he told one ques- 1 tioner: “I think I will not propose the; appointment of an Ambassador to the Vatican.” President Truman proposed such a step last year and nom-| inated Gen. Mark Clark on the! final day of the 1951 session of Congress. Nothing was done about it then or at the 1952 session. Gov. Stevenson said there is a feeling in this country that such an appointment would constitute recognition of a denomination. He said that would be "highly in compatible” with the doctrine of separation of church and state. The Democratic nominee fa vored taking advantage of the sources of information available at the Vatican, however, and said he has not been able to see any “great disadvantage” in the sys tem previously followed of having a special representative of the President at the Vatican. The present administration once had such a representative, without the rank of ambassador, and not sub ject to Senate confirmation. Answers Many Questions. Yesterday’s press conference was the first Gov. Stevenson has held since he began his campaign in New York late, in August, and he answered questions on every conceivable subject. He was as frank as he has been in his speeches, but his demeanor was much more serious than it has been on the speakers' platform. Only once did he throw in one of the breezy lines that have sparked his campaign talks. That was when a reporter asked, “Do fHAKES STARCH!

Eisenhower Kisses Baby, His First of Campaign By tho Associated Prttt OTTAWA, HI., Sept. 16.—Gen. Eisenhower psased the acid test yesterday as a presidential cam paigner—he kissed a baby. But the baby—s-months-old j Billy Salomone—was asleep and didn’t know it. It happened while the Republi-1 can presidential nominee wasj walking from his campaign car to| a stand for a whistle-stop talk. 1 Gen. Eisenhower bent over as he passed by Mrs. Ronald Salo mone and planted a kiss on the forehead of Billy, asleep in her arms, with a big “I Like Ike” but ton pinned on his shirt. “This is the first baby I’ve kissed on this campaign,” the Generali remarked to the mother.

I British Foreign Secretary An thony Eden outlined his proposals to the Assembly last night. He urged that the Constitutional As sembly, the Schuman coal and steel pool and the Defense Com munity be integrated loosely with the 14-nation Council and that members of the Council outside the individual organizations—such as Britain—participate in a “re stricted” way in their activities.

Ik sf 24 TWsfc 394 Amitone JM~"r Mossadegh Is Willingl To Let World Court ! Fix Seizure Damages ! By tha Associated Brass TEHERAN, Iran, Sept. 16. Premier Mohammed Mossadegh told Parliament today Iran is willing to let the World Court de cide what compensation Britain should receive for her now-na tionalized oil properties. He : added, however, this is the only j compensation Irah is prepared to i pay. j The Majlis (lower house of 'Parliament* gave Mr. Mossadegh : a 60 to 0 vote of confidence. It l endorsed his previously announced rejection of a British-American plan for solution of the oil crisis and approved his counterproposals. The Premier on August 30 re jected a settlement proposal made by President Truman and British Prime Minister Churchill that called for submission of the Ques tion of compensation to the World Court. The Joint Truman-Churchill offer, however, included submis sion of all claims and counter claims of both parties to the court. This would include compensa- Ition to the British-controlled iAnglo-Iranian Oil Co. for the ! cancellation of its contract to pro duce the oil and its loss of eam jing power. Mr. Mossadegh’s flat statement I that Iran was willing to pay compensation only for the phy sical properties of the AIOC seemed to leave little hope of im mediate agreement since Britain : has firmly demanded settlement of the additional claims. As to diplomatic relations with Britain, Mr. Mossadegh said: “If the British government con tinues economic pressure against this country there can be no doubt that the policy of Britain is not friendly to Iran. “Under these circumstances continuance of diplomatic rela tions seems unnecessary. The Iranian government reserves the right of taking any step even that; of breaking diplomatic relations.” 1 Lewis Proposes Union Os All Labor Groups By tha Aitociated Pratt John L.

J., Sept. 16.—One of the antihistamine drugs shows preliminary promise toward enabling long-time preser vation of “whole” blood for trans fusions, the American Chemical Society was told today.. “Whole” blood—as distinguished from plasma, which is blood gainus the red cells—still remains medi cine’s best life-saving transfusion fluid. But it can be safely stored at present for Inly three weeks, after which the red cells begin to dete riorate. This limits its storage in “blood banks” and its transporta tion to far distant gfeas. Dr. Otto Schales, Tulane Uni versity biochemist, Reported that a complex chemicaloriginally in troduced as an antihistamine drug for the treatment of allergic conditions had shown an ability— in one type of laboratory test—to preserve blood for as long as seven weeks. But he.cautioned against over optimism. saying that extensive trials in humans will be required with blood treated with the com pound “before it can be decided whether (it) is the miracle in gredient which will double or triple the life of stored blood.” "At the moment,” he told the society’s 122 d national meeting, “one can only hope that we are approaching a new milestone of medical progress.” - The chemical has the jaw breaking name, “dimethylamino isopropylphenothiazane”—and the scientist said he used it on the , theory that the weakening of i red cells after a certain time in storage is due to an “enzyme” action similar to those taking place during the digestion of food in the stomach and intestines. Various chemicals, designed to counteract such enzyme action, was tried—and the antihistaminic proved best. | Baptists Hail Stevenson Stand on Vatican Envoy By tha Asiociated Proai The Baptist Joint Committee on Public Affairs yesterday said it “rejoices” at Gov.

The Democratic presidential (nominee said at a Springfield (HI.) ] news conference that he could see no “great disadvantage” in having a special representative in Rome, but that appointment of an am bassador is “highly incompatible with out theory of separation of church and state.” The Baptist group, however, said i it believed Mr. Stevenson "will also j discover that a clear majority of citizens would earnestly protest” (appointment of a representative ; as a violation of church-state sep ] aration.

Municipal Court Judge Mary Barlow has ruled that former Ma rine Peter Myers, 24, cannot re gain the car until he satisfies the garage claims against him. And these have now increased by SSO because of a charge for storage. Mr. Myers hasn’t learned of the ruling.

We’ll never get that $50.” 1 \ Average Family Loss Turns Into a Saving The average American family didn’t spend S4OO more than it earned in 1950, after all—it just seemed that way. The average family saved S2OO in 1950. A Senate-House Economic Com mittee tried to set the record straight today. It released a statement from Stuart A. Rice, the Budget Bu ’ reai’s assistant director of statis ; tical standards, saying that mis ; interpretation recently accounted for a report that the average ! American family “lost” S4OO in r 1950. ; This figure came from a Bureau 1 of Labor Statistics survey which said families reported an average 1 earning of $4,300 and average ex - penditures of $4,700. Mr. Rice, however, argued that families don’t remember how much they spend or even how much they earn. The survey, he said, was intended to show what families bought, rather than how much they saved. Actual savings, Mr. Rice said, were “substantial,” no matter how I it seemed. Japanese Freeze Sales On U. S.
