Who's for Whom

Star-spangled celebrities of stage & screen this week plumped for Adlai Stevenson. Among them: Humphrey Bogart, George Jessel, Bette Davis, Robert Ryan, Shelley Winters.

P: Columbia University, of which Eisenhower is president, divided: for Stevenson, 95 faculty members organized under Historian Allan Nevins, and the student paper the Spectator; for Eisenhower, the 15,000-strong Columbia Alumni for Eisenhower committee.

P: Also for Stevenson: Harvard's Crimson, Yale's Daily News, Barnard's Bulletin, The Dartmouth. The Daily Princetonian, of which Stevenson was managing editor in his undergraduate days, endorsed Dwight Eisenhower.

P: Morris F. Richardson, former Republican mayor of Whittier, Calif. (Senator Nixon's home town) enlisted with Stevenson because, he said, "I am convinced it is time for a change." So did John J. Wiley, who directed Nixon's successful senatorial campaign two years ago in Marin County (Calif.).

P: The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, which supported Tom Dewey in 1948, announced it was backing Governor Stevenson.

P: Tallulah Bankhead purringly told Washington Post's Theatrical Critic Richard L. Coe about some political ambitions of her own. Said Tallu: "Why shouldn't I marry Adlai Stevenson? Heaven knows, I'd like to ... What a team we'd make for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. After all, his grandfather presided over the Senate and my father was Speaker of the House. I'm going to introduce him over the radio for the Ladies' Garment Workers Union at the end of the month, and I can tell you, Baby, my three minutes are going to be a performance!"
