ENDORSED BY CIO At a meeting in Washington Thursday, the CIO executive board endorsed Stevenson for the presidency. CIO President Philip Murray said leaders of the organization were arranging to confer with the Illinois governor. The AFL representative scheduled to see Stevenson Friday was Joseph Keenan. head of the Labor political arm of the federation.

The AFL executive council voted this week to invite Stevenson and Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Republican presidential nominee, to address the AFL convention at New York next month. Stevenson could expect a less friendly conference with President Allan B. Kline of the American Farm Bureau federation and Vice President Charles Shuman, who also heads the Illinois Farm Bureau organization. While he has never discussed farm programs in detail, Stevenson had endorsed the farm plank of the Democratic platform which supported the congressional action this year fixing farm price supports for basic crops at 90 per cent of parity.

Kline had long fought for a program of flexible price supports instead of the rigid 90 per cent plane.
