Maintains Prestige Despite Losses By Barb Radner Adlai Stevenson has lived and worked in many parts of the world, Born in Los Angeles, he spent his youth in Illinois, and attended college in the East. After graduating from Prince- ton, Stevenson Studied law at Harvard and Northwestern Universities Then he left this field to work in Russia as a $334; STEVENSON correspondent for an American newspaper concern. Until 1933, Stevenson’s only official gov- ernment association was his enlistment in the navy. But in 1933 his service witli the Agri- culture Adjustment Adminis- tration in Washington inaugura ated his government career. in his post with the Agricul- ture committee, Stevenson helped President Roosevelt construct a program to relieve ~farmers suffering the effects of inflation and depression. The legislation enacted during this crisis proved to be the most meaningful farml improvement program of the century. In 1935, Stevenson left the government to go into private practice with a Chicago law firm. But he returned to act as Special Assistant and per- sonal counsel to the Secretary of the Navy from 1941 to 1944. Also, in 1943 Stevenson headed a mission to ltaly to help with , the reconstruction of the liber- ated but war-ravaged country.

During planning, Steven- son traveled extensively, and increased the United States’ prestige in world affairs At the first meeting of the U. N, General Assembly, Adlai Stev— enson represented our gover ment again, in the post of Sen- ior Advisor to the United States delegation Stevenson returned to the U. N, in 1945 and 1947, ap— pointed a United States dele- gate by President Truman. Stevenson had proved so vai- uable that personal politics, which often governs decisions on appointments during a change of administrations, did not affect his position. Steven- son’s importance would be dra- matized during the Eisenhower administration, when the Re publicans asked him to serve with the government. They called upon Stevenson to act as an advisor to the Secretary of State in 1957. However, in 1948 Mr, Steven- son left his official post to serve his party by running for Gov- ernor of Illinois. Illinois vot- ers chose Stevenson by the largest plurality in the tradi- tionally-Republican state's his- tory, and Stevenson repaid their trust in him by ridding the state’s government of the core ruption that had characterized the previous regime.’ Steven~ son initiated legislation to im- prove the standards and condi- tions of education and farm- ing in the state. Education has been a major concern of his, and in his career at the na tional level he continued to support educational improve- ment Educational concerns were an important subject dur- ing his Presidential campaigns, Broad and Unique Service Background Recommends Ribicoff for Nomination By Harry Shrago in 1964 the Democrats must choose a man of unquestioned ability and experience to be the running mate of Lyndon Johnson.

Arizona is one of the most liberal states . . when it comes to race rela- tlons, and Goldwater’s influ- ence has been a major factor. He has done more for Arizona Negroes than any other Ari< zona politician." He rests his principles on the solid foundation of the United States Constitution, which was originally instituted as a "sys- tem of restraint against the natural tendency of govern- ment to expand in the direction of absolutism.” in order to pre- serve freedom we can not as- sume “that the State (federal) is competent to do all things and is limited in what it actuala ly does only by the will of those who control the State." Goldwater believes ”that un— ionism accomplishes a positive good for the country, Unions can be an instrument for achieving economic justice for the working man . . They are an expression of freedom. . . . an expression of man’s inalien- able right to associate with other men for the achievement of legitimate objectives," In or der for unions to perform their needed function, three condi< tions must be observed: “asso- ciation with the union is volun- tary; the union confines its ac< tivities to collective bargaining; the bargaining is conducted with the employer of the work ers concerned, Senator Gold- water urges ”us to make war on all monopoliesAwhethei cor- porate or union. The enemy of freedom is unrestrained pow or.” In foreign affairs Goldwater has one objective——”total vte— tory“ in the face of ”the all- embracing determination of Communism to capture the world and destroy the United States.’ M0 VE WITH McMRTflY Eugene J.
