, Ruether is a Michitran delegate to
this convention. The Michigan
i caucus had no official status so
far as the convention was con-
' ivmed. He had his hands on the
delegation contrrls.
The L:nited Pr:-ss bulletin on
what happened was timed off at
■ a. in., KDT, an early hour,
but fatal to the hopes of the gov-
ernor of New York—and to the
hopes of the govrenor of Michi-
gan, too. If he had been thinking
he might gamble control of a big
f.,vori: • son delegation into some-
thing like the vice presidential
nomination. "erhaps Williams
flight have In- Hi'rht it off. at that,
if he really had been in control.
He wasn't, however, because what
that I'P bulletin said was this:
"Gov. II. Mennen Williams said
early today he will urge M:chi-
_an's delegation to throw its 44
votes to Adlai K. Stevenson."
That was the big. determining
break in this convention. Ohio.
Michigan and New Jersey, big
delegation states, were uncommit-
ted to either kteding contender.
Kach was in a position to braek
the ba'-k of the Harriman cam-
paign for the prsiedential nomina-
tion or to put Harriman on the
way to win.

DALLAS d'.P> Rep. Ed Kdmon-

giving Adlai K. Stevenson a tus-
>1 efor the Democratic presiden-
tial nomination.
Delegates were fitting by the
-eores from the coop to the fence
for a safety perch from which-
they could flutter to one side or
the other as the identity of tile
winner might emerge.
A few minutes after .'1 a. m.,
KDT. Wednesday morning the
weary Michigan delegation to this
convention was called into sur-
prise caucus to consider what to
do. Michigan had a favorite son.
Gov. G. Mennen (Soapy) Williams
and to him the delegation was
pledged. This same Williams back
there in Februaiy was the first
to call ji foul on Stevenson, charg-
ing him with a program of politi-
cal moderation that would not do
| for the Democniifc Party in 1951!.
Williams was way out in front
among the stop-Stevenson brigade.
Reufher Appears
And now a more logically fa-
vorite son of Michigan Democrats
took over the early morning show.
He is Walter P. Reuther, big boss i son (D-Okla.) said today that the
of the Auto Workers and the am- Hradlev iv>port is a "dagger point-
bitious vice president of AFL-CIO. ed at 'the heart of all veterans'
benefits in America."
"Friends* of veterans' legislation
cannot afford to delay their coun-
ter attack on this deadly move-
ment." Kdmondson told the na-
tional encampment of the Veter-
an* of Foreign Wars.
Kdmdson called the Bradley
report, which was made by a com-
mission appointed by the Presi-
dent to the last Congress, the
"opining gun in a well-planned and
highly conceived campaign to end
all hen--fits for non-servi re-con-
nected disabled veterans."
"If the people behind the Brad-
ley report win their Doints on non-
service-connected disabled," Kd-
mondson said, "their next target
will be the 10 and 211 per cent dis-
abled—service connected. After
them, the ."ill per cent disabled
then 4t> per cent—and eventually
all but the totally disabled."
The Bradley commission was
headed hv Gen. Omar Bradley.
Kdmondson, credited with steer-
ing the VFW-sponsored World War
I pension bill through the House
said that the "military security of
the United States and the free
world, won and prserved at grate
cost in our lifetimes, is also in
jeopardy.
The congressman said that mil-
itary security is "under attack by
an organization known as the Bu-
Taeu of the Budget, which has
demonstrated a gncate rinterest in
the l!)a > treasury surplus than in
1957 superiority in the air."
Kdmondson called on the VFW
to "assume its great and tradi-
tional responsibilitv, and insist
that we maintain Amreican mili-
j tary security in the future."
