Southerners Plan Defense ToStop Harriman Campaign WASHINGTON W—A number of Southern Democrats were working today to build up a stop-IIarriman road block in case President Tru man should throw his support be hind Averell Harriman for the Democratic presidential nomina tion. They don't take the candidacy of the mutual security administra tor very seriously—although Harri man himself says he is building up widespread backing in many parts I of the country. All the sume. the Dixie Democrats don't want to take j any chances. Some supporters of Sen. Richard | Russell of Georgia have been sounding out backers of other pres idential aspirants with the idea ■ of holding the line against Harri man if he suddenly should get the support of Truman. The support won't be fothcom-1 ing, most politicians agree, unless Gov. Aldai E. Stevenson of Illinois eliminates himself finally from the i presidential contest. Stevenson has | said he couldn't accept a presiden tial nomination, but main Demo-' crats are convinced he could be drafted. Harriman has been campaigning for the nomination on an all-out New Deal and Fair Deal program. He has kicked the Dixie contin gent in the shins by calling for a Fair Employment Practices Com mission with power to enforce rul ings against job discrimination a gainst Negroes and other minor ities. He has slapped at the Southern ers as "men masquerading as Democrats" in Congress. And he has added that he doesn't care whether the Southerners bolt Ihe ticket. Most politicians have expressed doubt there will be any effective bolt by the South this year unless Truman should be the candidate— and he has said repeatedly he won't be.

U. S. Secretary of State Dean Acheson. British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden and French Foreign Minister Robert Scluiman checked a proposed draft line by line in a I 21 ■_>-houi* session this morning. The tinai draft was not com i pleted by the time the foreign min isters recessed for lunch with Prime Minister Churchill at 10 Downing St. A foreign office spokesman said the Big Three dis cussions would he resumed later in the day. The note is expected to be completed tonight. The foreign ministers are report ed seeking a way to make the So viet show its true hand—to pin the Russians down on whether they are sincere in demanding four-power talks on a unified Germany. Sources close to the conference said the British and French are willing to go right ahead with a conference. Acheson is understood In be urging a preliminary meet ing that could agree on an agenda before any high-level negotiations. There is a strong feeling among Western diplomats that the Rus sians merely want to stall for time, trying to upset the Western schedule for the rearming of Ger many and its inclusion in the West ern orbit. The Soviet note, delivered May 25. protested the signing by the Western nations of a "peace con tract" with the West German gov ernment at Bonn and the inclu sion of West Germany in the pro jected European army.
