Oregon, May 18, is a primary in which a candidate's name may be entered without his consent. Kefauver won in 1952 against token opposition. Democratic State Chairman Howard Morgan recently announced for Stevenson, came out with a blast against Harriman and Tammany Hall Boss Carmine De Sapio. Jack Bain, who headed Kefauver's 1952 primary campaign, says that "we will get Kefauver on the ballot, by petition if necessary, unless the Senator objects himself-and I haven't heard of any objections." As they approach the Oregon primary, the Democratic hopefuls will be acutely aware that...

Sullivan claims that the University is downright uncooperative in this respect...
...week as the General Assembly met in Manhattan for its tenth annual session. In all their formal addresses and still more in their hand-pumping greetings along the crowded, glass-walled corridors 500 delegates from 60 nations talked up "the Geneva spirit" that appeared to be abating tensions. In token of the new cordiality, the Assembly on the first ballot chose its president by unanimous vote. He is Chile's portly, polished Jose Maza, 66, a U.N. parliamentarian of ten years' standing. With Molotov protesting only mildly for the record, the Assembly voted for the sixth year...
