Val Peterson of Nebraska opened the 44th annual National Governors’ Conference today with a blast at the “ineptness” of the national ad ministratidn and a warning against “running to Washing ton for handouts.” Peterson is chairman of the con ference. His talk was the first ma jor address as the chief executives of 46 states settled down to the business of the three-day meetings. Though the business meetings be gan today, politics was still the main topic on everyone’s mind. In the widely split Republican camp, politics was at its highest pitch.

Adlai E. Stevenson of Illi nois would be the Democratic pres-, idential nominee on such a ticket, with Sen. Robert S. Kerr (D-Okla) as his running mate. Stevenson said several weeks ago that he “could not” accept the presidential nomination. But he has been getting less and less em phatic about it lately, and a large number of nrofessional Dolitics here now take it for granted that he is “available.” Kerr is an active candidate for the presidential nomination, and predicted in Salt Lake City yes terday that he will win it on the fifth or sixth ballot. But many party leaders believe he would be receptive to the vice presidential nomination. RUSSELL WANTS TOP POST Talk of a Stevenson-Russell tick et which was popular in Democratic circles a few weeks ago, is now waning. Close associates of Sen. Richard B. Russell (D-Ga) are con vinced that Russell means just what he says about wanting the presidential nomination or nothing. As a “border state” senator, who has voted with Southern Democrats on civil rights legislation, Kerr would be acceptable to most of Rus sell’s Deep South backers, and would help to give the ticket the "regional balance” which Is con sidered vital to hold the South in ‘ line this year. KEFAUVER NOT INTERESTED Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn), now leading all other Democratic presidential candidates in pledged delegates, is not often, mentioned p -possible Stevfensdn running mate for two reasons-. He has said emphatically that he Isn’t interes ted in the vice presidency; and the same party regulars who are backing Stevenson are strongly anti-Kefauver. j Vice President Alben W. Batkley I has made it clear that he is not seeking another term in his pres ent Job, although he would accept the presidential nomination if it should come his way.
