A Stunned World Mourns Death Of Adlai Stevenson By ARCH MacKENZIE WASHINGTON (CP) -- Adlai 6tevenson's death in London Wednesday stunned many world leaders and left the United States wihtout a potent spokes- man in the United Nations. It also removed the ranking mem- ber of the American liberal wing. It was at the United Nations that Stevenson, despite personal qualms, often defended contro- versial American decisions, } among them the abortive Bay of Pigs invasion and the send- ing of U.S. marines to the Do- minican Repub: during a Paris visit had called U.S. intervention in the Domini- = Republic 'a massive blun- er." Schoenbrun also quoted Stev- enson as saying that his de- fence of it in the UN "took sev- eral years off my life." In the U.S. capital, President Johnson was reported near tears when he got word of the 65-year-old UN ambassador's death. The president called him "that towering man, a true citi- zen of the world." INHERITS MANTLE Vice-President Hubert Hum- phrey inherits Stevenson's man- tle as the leader of the Amer- ican liberals although--as Stev- enson himself had been--his voice is silenced pretty well in the line of duty. "America has lost its most eloquent spirit, it's finest voice," the president said as a torrent of tributes flowed in from around the world. "The world of freedom and human dignity has lost its most articulate spokesman." Speaking on television later, Johnson asked adversary and friend alike to "pause for a mo- ment and weep for one who was a ea and guide to all man- "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine but a broken spirit dryeth the bones,"' Stev- to defend the American inter- vention in the Dominican Re- public in clear violation of the charter of the Organization of American States. As a man who played a good-sized role in cre- ating the UN, he had to argue the American line that the OAS --and not the UN--should bring about a Dominican settlement. On the Dominican crisis, Schoenbrun said Stevenson made his "massive blunder' statements last Friday at a Paris dinner with him and Roving Ambassador W,. Averell Harriman, who was en route to Moscow. Schoenbrun quoted Stevenson as saying: "For six weeks, I had to sit there in the United Nations and defend the policy of my country in Santo Domingo although it was a massive blunder from who got to know Stevenson so death with disbelief and deep shock. »jsoOn a British Prime Minister Wilson, filed similar reports during the 1964 campaign.

His "eer Lewis Green Stev- enson, was assistant general manager of the Hearst Los An- geles Examiner, and manager of William Randolph Hearst's gold and copper' mines in the southwestern U.S. The father had left the family residence in the midwest to seek his health in the west. The Stevenson family re- turned to their home in Bloom- ington, Ill., when Stevenson was six years old. He grew up there. Stevenson's scholastic record in high school was not good and on graduation he was refi admission to Princeton Univer- | sity. He -enrolled at Choate School, brushed up on his en- trance requirements, and on his second attempt to enter Prince- ton made it. Education was interrupted by the First World War.

D. Roosevelt, His aristocratic background and personal charm were other points of re- semblance. He got the presidential nom- ination in Chicago in 1952 al- though he had said many times he didn't want it. The biggest single impetus that vaulted him into the presi- dential nomination only to lose to Eisenhower was his smashity victory in running for governor of Illinois in 1948. In his first elective bid for office, he won by 572,000 votes--an IIl- tic nomination for president for the second time in 1956 but again was beaten by Eisen- hower, He called politics "'the noblest|¢' career anyone can choose." He made it clear he wasn't talking about shoddy, even corrupt practices on election day, or blind, vengeful partisanship.

Then he inherited a share in the Bloomington Pan- tagraph from an uncle, left Harvard and went to work on the newspaper. Later Stevenson decided to quit newspaper work to finish work on his law degree. He en- tered Northwestern University law school and there received his degree. After a trip to Rus- sia, he returned and joined one of Chicago's oldest law firms. At the beginning of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's admin- istration in 1933, he went to Washington as a special coun- sel for the Agricultural Adjust- ment Administration. From there he moved to the Federal Alcohol Control Administration as assistant general counsel. After 1% years in Washing- ton, he returned to Chicago to resume his law practice.

Schoenbrun said Harriman in- terrupted, insisting that Steven- son could not mean what he was saying, and that it was no blunder "to eliminate a Castro Communist influence." But Stevenson, Schoenbrun reported, declared that his in- nermost conviction was that there.was no fixed danger of a Communist takeover, and that he "could never quite believe what he was called upon to say." TOOK TOLL "T can tell you this, Averell," Schoenbrun quoted Stevenson as saying, "that six weeks in the UN took several years off my life." Clayton Fritchey, . longtime associate and adviser to Steven- son, told a reporter at the United Nations he had never heard Stevenson utter such statements, publicly or _pri- vately, as those Schoenbrun at- tributed to him.
