Langlie of Washington has V set the keynote! of the Republican National Convention: Peace, i Drosperity and progress. I sHnlii nlninf ha- nnmtanhnn'a stemwinding speech late yester day, told delegates: "We are here to pledge to the American people four more years "of honest, efficient administration . . . tour more years 01 our cru sade for a finer America in a bet ler, world under the competent, steadfast, forthright .leadership of Dwight D. Eisenhower. Langlie denounced the Demo crats as corrupt and divided. He . warmly praised the Republicans as Dnngers 01 peace, inusueiuy and progress. The' 56-year-old governor, who Is running for the U.S. Senate in ' Washington against Democratic Sen. Warren Magnuson, was pre sented by Sen. William F. Know- land of California,: who also lam basted the Democrats. In the 48 years he has lived, Knowland said, there has been ' peace under five Republican pres idents and war under three Demo crats, Both Langlie and Knowland lit into the Democratic keynoter at Chicago last week Gov. Frank G. Clement of Tennessee. Obviously referring to Clement's hot brand of oratory, Langlie said the GOP's job is to give the people leadership not to give em hell. Langlie drew a big laugh when he ' imitated Clement's style at the outset of his talk "How long, 0 America, will we keep our Republican administration in ; Washington?' a Then he replied to the question with great vigor and seriousness: "The American people will, I believe, and I hope, throw the , Republicans out of office the day , when, if ever, they copy the : Democrats and put the party first and America second." Knowland praised Vice Prcsi- , dent Nixon, with whom he had been at- odds nolltlcnllv until re- ccntly, and Secretary of Stale Dulles, with whom he has often disagreed. He called Nixon an able , assistant to President Eisenhower. He called Dulles "great." , Ii giving what ho called a , "factual account of our current stewardship," Knowland claimed the Republicans under Eiscnhow- cr nave ended the Korean War, halted, wage-price controls, bal- anced the budget, cut taxes, ox- : tended Social Security, "curtailed centralization of power in Wash- , melon, increased bipartisan con sultation on foreign policy, em phasized unity . among labor and farm-cily elements and "recti fied the New Deal usurpation" of territory he said rightfully belongs to the stales. .

He spoke of the greatness of President Eisenhower and Vice President Nixon, whose pictures, each 10 by 20 feet, hang from one end of the hall. There are no other pictures there. "There is nothing we need say about Adlai Stevenson that Ke fauver hasn't already said," Hall snid to laughing approval. "There spangles but two huge Ike" buttons.

In effect, it was like the difference between warm ovaltlne and , corn liquor. Langlie got his share of ap plause but he didn't set the hall! on fire.

ARROWSMITH WASHINGTON tfi President Eisenhower, flies to San Francisco today to confer with delegates to the Republican National Conven tion and accept nomination for a second term.. . All signs pointed, to convention selection of Vice President Nixon as Eisenhower's running mqte again. But there still was no public word from the White House as to what the president's role may be in filling the No. 2 spot., .'. , Nomination of Eisenhower, probably by acclamation, and of his running mate is the conven tion business for tomorrow. On Thursday Eisenhower, and . the vice presidential nominee will make acceptance addresses. The President's plane is sched uled to arrive at San Francisco's International Airport at 6:30 p.m. after a nonstop flight from the capital. A big welcoming recep tion is planned. Accompanying him are Mrs. Eisenhower; their son and daughter-in-law, Army Maj. and Mrs. John Eisenhower; the Wh i t e House physician, Maj. Geh. How ard1 M. Snyder; press secretary James C. Hagerty, and a small White House staff. As for' the vice presidential situ ation, Hagerty late yesterday caught a fresh barrage of ques tions from newsmen trying to find out whether Eisenhower may (1) tell the delegates they are free to choose a running mate, or (3) sub mit a list of candidates accept able to him. , To all of those inquiries Hagerty replied: "I don't know." Then he added: Let's put It this way: Am I stalling? Yes. Do I know what is going to happen when we get to San Fran cisco? No, I'll wait and see." Eisenhower divided his time yesterday afternoon between watching the opening session of the GOP convention on television and putting in more work on the acceptance . speech he will make Thursday. Immediately after delivering that address Eisenhower will go to the Cypress Point Club, about 100 miles south of San Francisco, for three or four days of golf.

In advance of his scheduled arrival late in the day, leaders of key state delegations reported they had received telephoned in vitations' from the Wihte House to call on him. Some said tney felt certain there would be no discussion of Harold E. Stassen's languishing campaign to dump Nixon from the ticket. 1 In fact, a . surge of Nixon strength among delegates made it appear that the time had passed when the vice president could be sidetracked by anything other than direct presidential word that Eisenhower didn't want him. No one expected that Eisenhow er has said he would be delighted to have Nixon on any ticket with him but has not excluded the dos- sibility that he might be satis fied with another candidate.

Knowland, the Senate's minor ity leader, predicted California will place its 10 votes squarely behind Nixon at a caucus today. Several others, including Gov. Christian A. Herter of Massa chusetts, said their names won't be placed in nomination. Origin ally Stassen picked Herter as his top prospect, but Herter was se lected to put Nixon's name in nomination tomorrow. Later Stas sen named others he said had more political pulling power than Nixon. Stassen, on leave as Elsenhow er's disarmament assistant, con tinued to insist he had a 50-50 chance to replace Nixon.

OPEN delegates were hearing from the home folks. If they were, many leaders said the messages must be in favor of Nixon the mention of whose name brought lusty cheer ing at yesterday's opening conven tion sessions. Gov. Arthur B. Langlie of Wash ington, the convention keynoter, reaffirmed his support of Nixon. Langlie called on the Republicans in his speech to unite for "four more years of our crusade for a finer America." Eisenhower's decision to arrive here a day earlier than originally scheduled was generally accepted by convention leaders as evidence of his belief in his physical fitness to take command of a new GOP "crusade" his word for the 1952 campaign. Eisenhower's appearance here is calculated to afford a chance to meet with him to some delegates who otherwise would see him only when - he makes his acceptance speech at Thursday night's closing session.
