World News Capsules -- — ■ Taff Gains 19 of 70 Republican Tennessee Convention Delegates Compiled by Mary Ann Mov'ery (From the wires of the United Pros* and Associated Press) Senator Robert A. Taft picked up 19 of Tennessee's 20 Re publican convention delegates Wednesday. 'I lie 20tli delegate, to be named in May at a district con vention is also expected to go for the Ohio senator, giving him a clean sweep of Tennessee's delegation. The state (iOl’ convention elected four delcgates-at-large, instructing them to support Taft as long as his name is before the convention. It also decided a Shelby (Memphis) countv contest by ruling in favor of a group that pledged two national delegates to 'I aft over a group which had pledged one delegate to laft and the other to Gen. Dwight I). Eisenhower. The convention vote on the Shelby delegatee marked the third time In two days Elsenhower supporters had lost a bid to get one delegate pledged to their man. The state committee ruled against them Tuesday and the credentials committee and full convention voted against them Wednesday. Attorney General McGrath confe red . . . . . with President Truman Wednesday for fifteen minutes, but there was no Immediate word whether he or corruption-hunter Newbold Morris will resign. It seemed evident that either McGrath or Morris will have to leave the government. McGrath brushed off ull questions by reporters, saying merely: "I discussed departmental matters with the president and anything that Is to be said will have to said by the president or members of his staff,” I he crisis centered on McGrath's opposition to a financial question ftire sent by Morris to 590 justice department officials. The White If. ice declined to say how Truman now feels about Morris, to whom he had promised all support Western Union officials said . . . . . Wednesday the company would make "no wage offer,” and the A K of L comme rcial telegraphers union prepared to call a nationwide strike at midnight Wednesday night. J L. Wilcox, vice-president and chief negotiator for the company, said Western Union Is "standing pat” on its position that any wage In crease would “voluntarily put the industry into bankruptcy.” A union spokesman said the workers would picket telegraph offices throughout the country, including 15 central traffic points. He said it had "no plans" to permit even transmission of emergency messages. A strike would probably halt telegraphic messages everywhere in the i alion, except possibly New York City where Western Union Workers are represented by another union. Reliable sources said the government had no plan to intervene in event a strike occurs, holding that such a walkout would not constitute a national emergency. Acting defense mobilizer John R. Steelman . . . . . . Wednesday directed the Defense and Justice departments to "pro* Spare for all eventualities” in the steel wage-price crisis, including seizure of the nation's steel mills if necessary to prevent a strike. This followed United States Steel Corporation Vice-President John A. Stephens’ earlier announcement that the steelmakers "would be *fnrl-hnrdy and derelict in their duty" to accept the wage stabilization board's 26-cents an hour package recommendation without adequate ■ price relief. Stephens talked to reporters shortly after announcing that the in dustry negotiators will meet with the union at 10:30 a.m. today to start negotiating. He said the industry has had no word from U. S. Steel Corporation President Benjamin Fairless or price officials on increases it says it needs to off-set a wage hike. He said that he is "still hope ful" that Kaiiless, who is meeting in Washington with price officials, can win a commitment for a price increase well over the $2 a ton now permitted by stabilization rules. The Senate passed a bill . .. ... to give the stales control of submerged lands for three miles off shore with the federal government to have control of the rest of the offshore continental shelf. Tlie hill goes back to the House which had passed a different version which was substituted earlier for the original tidelands bill by a vote of f>0 to 34. The margin on the final vote and on all previous votes was far less than the necessary two-thirds which would be needed to override a veto which may be forthcoming from President Truman. The senate bill would give the states undisputed title to the three mile offshore strip in most states, but they would not receive any part of federal revenues from the rest of the continental shelf, as the House* npproved bill provides. The administration wanted complete federal control with undisputed rights to resources in the entire submerged continental shelf. North Korean Foreign Minister. . . .. .
