WASHINGTON. Nov. 12
The White House and Adlai Stev
enson announced today after
considerable confusion that he
will act as Democratic consultant
on pulling the Atlantic alliance
closer together.
The confusion resulted from an
error by Presidential Press Sec
rgtary James C. Hagerty. who told
newsmen this morning that Stev
enson had refused to do anything
more than- comment on the pro
gram after it was all prepared by
the administration.
This afternoon Hagerty ac
knowleded the error, and said that
in fact Stevenson would consult
on the proram as it was being de
velop6d for presentation to the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza
, Lion at Paris Dec. 16.
Hagerty said Stevenson "will be
kept informed of the develciping
program and will, we hope, dis
cuss the items in the program
with the administration before
they are finalized. These com
ments will be more in the nature
of consultations while the pro
gram is being prepared, not just
public statements after the pro
gram is completed."
This. announcement from Hag
erty, shortly after 3 p.m., straight
ened out nearly day-long uncer
tainty.- Stevenson himself had
sought, in a statement from' New
York City, to clarify the situation.
The upshot was that Stevenson
emerged in an advisory role on
foreign affairs. It marked his first
association with the administra
tion after previously declining to
become a member of the U.S. del
egation to the United Nations or
of a new civil rights commission.
Officials said Stevenson could
go with Eisenhower and Secre—
tary of State John Foster Dulles
to Paris next month, if he wants
to.
Hagerty told reporters at a 3:15
p.m. news .conference he was
"redfaced" about his error.
