Mississippi's Demos Favor Stevenson By KEITH FULLER JACKSON, Miss, OPy Mississippi's divergent Democrats, a three-way split for Gov.

Adlai Stevenson, Dwight Eisenhower and a possible third party battle today for supremacy in the State Democratic Convention. The convention Is to decide Its political role in the 1952 presidential campaign. Mississippi, with 96 per cent of its voters on the state Democratic party rolls, has groups supporting Stevenson and Elsenhower and a faction that prefers a third party Southerner to either major party candidate. The Stevenson forces, headed by Gov. Hugh White and Mississippi's congressional delegation, won a fight In the Resolutions Committee last night.

A resolution offered by Stevenson, backers was adopted by ah 11-5 vote after Elsenhower members brought about the omission of a clao.se endorsing the Illinois governor. The resolution, as revised, called simply for the electors of the 8tate Democratic Convention to be pledged to Stevenson and Sen. John Spark-man of Alabama without a state party endorsement. The resolution was subject to revision, rejection or adoption today. A resolution of thn pro-Eisenhower forces was defeated by an 11-5 margin.

It scht to put the SteVen-son-Sparkma a ticket on tit ballot, with the statement that the. Mississippi Democratic party did not recommend them to the voters of the state. The original Stevenson resolution offered by State Rep. Ed White contained an endorsement clause that read, 'Therefore, believing the best interests of Mississippi requires it, this convention Irrevocably pledges Its electors to vote for Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illinois for President and for Sen.

John J. Sparkman of Alabama for vice president" Former Lt. Gov. Sam Lumpkin, head of the Mississippi Democrats-for Eisenhower movement and chairman of the Resolutions Committee, warned the committeemen, "If you go on to the floor of the convention tomorrow and railroad that Stevenson endorsement through, you'll split the Democratic party of this state so that Is will never get back together again." State Sen. Ellis Bodron offered an amendment to say, "Placing the Democratic nominees on the ballot In Mississippi shall not be construed as an endorsement of the candidates by the State Democratic Convention."

At Jackson, Mississippi, Democrats were pulling three-ways as they gathered for a state convention.

One faction backs Democratic Presidential Nominee Adlai Stevenson, the other is for GOP Nomine Dwight "Eisenhower and the third prefers a third-party southerner to either. In Alabama, the first serious GOP threat since 1928 had Democratic party leaders whooping it up for today's homecoming of Sen. Spark-man, the Democratic nominee for vice president. In Arkansas, Democrats were told they could be suspended for two years if, after having voted in the Democratic primary, they support the GOP ticket at the polls on Nov. 4.

In Louisiana, Republicans organizing Eisenhower's state campaign ran into an upsurge of party strife. Still at odds were Eisenhower backers and supporters of Ohio's Sen. Robert Taft.

A. S. Mike Monroney of Oklahoma, chairman of the Democrats' speakers bureau, said a team of 100 orators will range county-wide. Stevenson himself takes off today for a brief vacation. Indications were he would keep up with his chores as Illinois governor, when he returns, and still stay on campaign schedule.

The official "kickoff" addresses by him will be at Detroit on Labor Day, coinciding with President Truman's initial campaign speech at Milwaukee. A few days later, Stevenson's plans will take him stumping to the West Coast and possibly the Southwest, with a southern Junket a bit afterward. Stevenson was In the congregation Sunday when a Presbyterian minister, a personal friend of his, accused Illinois' Republican Sen. Everett Dirkson of telling a "blatant lie." The minister. Rev.

Richard Paul Graebel, mentioned no name in the sermon but told reporters afterwards he meant Dirksen and the senator's statement recently that Stevenson was "the worst governor we've had since the turn of the century."
