Aides said Stevenson was standing strictly by the word he gave the delegates last night as to a running mate: "The choice will be yours."

In his latest two statements one yesterday just before he won landslide nomination as bearer ofi 1 the Democratic against President Eisenhower, and the to the convention last night Stevenson said: There is "virtual paralysis" of progress under President Eisenhower's regime and this is "not due alone to the President's infirmity." 2. He is leaving it up to the convention to pick a vice presidential running mate, rather than designating one himself as is usual, because a vice president should be "fully equipped" to become President. No one man, he said, should take it upon himself to make so grave a choice. Stevenson thus indicated this campaign might be built around the spotlighting of the office of vice president. Such a campaign presumably would jab at what he called Eisenhower's "infirmity" and would also throw haymakers at Richard M.

Nixon, expected to be Eisenhower's vice presidential running mate again. lie gave his idea of the specifications for a vice president: "A person fully equipped first, to assist in the discharge of the duties of the most exacting job in the world, and second, to himself assume, if need be, this highest responsibility." Stevenson goes before the convention's final session tonight to make his formal acceptance speech. Ile told the bonetired but still cheering delegates last night: "I have decided that the selection of the vice presidential nominee should be made through the free processes of this convention, so that the Democratic Party's candidate for this office may join me before the nation not as one' man selection but as onechosen by cur great party even as I have been chosen." The American people, he said. must choose their Vice President "with the utmost care." The reason for this, he said, is that the Vice President "will be their President if the elected President is prevented by a higher will from serving his full term." lie recalled that seven out of the 34 Presidents stepped up from the vice presidency when the President died in office. Stevenson's emphasis on having the Democratic vice presidential nominee freely chosen by an open convention was an obvious swipe at the anticipated cut-and-dried nature of next week's Republican convention.

The governor told newsmen he would appear on the convention floor at today's final but only as a delegate. He said the vice presidency is an increasingly important office but that he preferred to continue as governor and to seek re-election to that post in 1958. Only minutes after the national convention chose Adial Stevenson as its presidential nominee, Harriman pledged to support Stevenson in his campaign against President Eisenhower. Asked whether he would campaign actively for he replied: "Of course I will." Stevenson later paid a courtesy call on Harriman in the latter's hotel suite.

Harriman said he intended to speak throughout New York State for both local and national ft emocratie tickets, but that this did not exclude the possibility he would campaign outside the state if he was invited to do so. Harriman appeared unperturbed by his overwhelming defeat. He was smiting and relaxed as he faced newsmen I and television cameras soon after Stevenson went over the top. His wife, Marie, was equally composed. The family member probably most upset by the outcome was his grandson, Bobby Fisk, 14, who had led the Harriman demonstration in convention hall.

Harriman told a questioner that former President Truman's prestige would not be damaged by having supported him in a losing cause. Harriman said he had been associated with Truman for years and that Truman's support was an "expression of loyalty." "We'll be fighting together to elect Adlai Stevenson," Harriman said. LONDON CD French Foreign Minister Christian Pineau proposed today that the Suez Canal be managed by an international authority, but with Egypt acknowledged as the canal's owner. Egyptian officials, objecting to a western plan advanced yesterday by Secretary of State Dulles for international control, were dickerinr behind the scenes with Indians and Russians to block it as the Frenchman expressed his views. "We consider that there are points on which agreement should be easily reached although they imply sacrifices for some, including ourselves." Pineau told the 22-nation Suez conference.

He made these points: "Is The canal and its installation should be the property of Egypt, which would assure Egypt adequate revenues from it. "2. The Suez Canal Co. should be properly compensated." As the owner of the canal, Pineau proposed. the Egyptian, government should sign a treaty' handing its management to an international authority.

He said the principal countries using the canal and interested in it, including Egypt, should be represented on the ruling body of the authority.

The latter are sympathetic to Egypt's July 26 nationalization of the canal, but vitally interested in keeping it open to navigation.

1 Sabry came here yesterday to keep track of the conference from the outside. He said Egypt insisted on the right to control the canal. Another Egyptian official' said, "the Dulles plan is not acceptable to Egypt," primarily because of the provision for an ternational control board. Egyptians Study Plan Keeping close tab on develop- ments, the Egyptians stayed up, until dawn studying the plan. The Egyptians said Dulles spoke' in "a moderate tone," but declar- ed Egypt could not go along with any plan to take control of the canal out of her hands.

Dulles proposed that Egypt be a member of the control board. which would be linked to the United Nations. The Egyptian reaction was not unexpected, but the West hoped, to marshal enough world opinion: behind its stand to force the! Egyptians eventually to Sweden and Portugal promptly expressed support for the plan. Today's session was expected to bring counterproposals from Russia and India. Red Stand Indicated An indication of the Soviet stand was seen in a Moscow radiol broadcast which declared the con-1 ference delegates "can make' headway if they start making arrangements for an international conference." Russia has supported Egypt's July 26 nationalization of the Suezi Canal Co.

and demanded a much expanded conference to include, all Arab nations and Communist! countries. Egypt refused to attend the conference called by Britain, France and the United States after Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser announced his government was nationalizing the Suez Canal operators of the 103-mile water- way. But a Nasser emissary, Wing Cmdr. Ali Sabry, flew here to be on the conference scene. Sabry told reporters Egypt insists on her "sole right of control' for the canal and its- economy," but he said "maybe some good could come from the London talks.1, Asked whether Egypt compromise with the Western position that the Canal must be under international control, Sabry'; replied: "It depends on what you mean by compromise." 1 I LONDON CD French Foreign Minister Christian Pineau proposed today that the Suez Canal be managed by an international author- ity, but with Egypt ac knowledged as the canal's! owner.

Stevenson's stand on the No. 2 spot set off frantic jockeying for the chance to stand with him in the second campaign against President Eisenhower andit was anticipatedVice President Nixon, the GOP team that won by a landslide four years ago. Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee appeared to be the leading contender for the nomination to be voted on later today.

Sen. Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota and Mayor Robert F. Wagner of New York City also were avowed contenders, and others were "available." Kefauver told a pre-dawn news conference he hoped, to win on the fitst ballot. His withdrawal from the presidential nomination race had cleared the way for Stevenson's first-ballot triumph last night. 905 Votes Win on an illuminated scoreboard where every delegate could read within seconds the running tally, Stevenson's steamroller ground, out a first-ballot victory with 9051i votes.

Harriman had 210 beforel the traditional move to make the Stevenson nomination unanimous. Seven faN orite sons divided the remainder of the convention's 372 votes. Then in the evening's most dramatic moment, a perspiring Ste-1 venson strode to the podium microphone.

lie told cheering delegates he had decided to "depart from the, precedents of the past" so that, the Democratic Party's vice pres-I idential candidate "may join me, before the ration not as one man's, selection but as one chosen by our great party even as I have been chosen." Kefauver Leading Contender This statement pitched to the convention a contest in which Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee and 1 Sen. Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota became the principal contestants. Kefauver, who withdrew from the presidential nomination race in favor of Stevenson after some bitter primary fights, was propelled into top position for the No. 2 place.

Early yesterday a three-foot, 30-pound slab of tiling fell from atop a four-story tenement in Brooklyn and killed Antonio Ropina, 18, and injured Julius Valentine, 19.

The incident occurred in a Brooklyn playground, which had been locked up hours earlier. The pair apparently crawled through a hole in the fence to get inside. They were seated together on a bench at the base of the tenement wall. A police search of the roof showed that the fallen section of tile had not come from directly above where the two youths had been sitting. The cornice was intact, but a section of tile had been removed from a place about 40 feet away.

Valentine was in fair condition at a hospital but still unable to undergo questioning.
