SAN FRANCISCO H-Gov. Ar
thur B. 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. .

"There is nothing we need say

This Evening
Big Welcome Reception
Planned for Party'
At Airport
By MARVIN L. 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.

Ike Invites Key Convention
Delegations to Call on Him
SAN FRANCfSCO UV-President
Eisenhower comes to town today
to put his personal touch on a Re
publican convention geared to re
nominate him and Vice President
Nixon.
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.
Nixon's strategists said they
had completed a check of delega

tions which indicated that even if
Elsenhower should say that some
others are likewise acceptable to
him, the vice president would win
renomination hands down.
One by one the then named as
possibilities by Stassen took them
selves out of the picture. Gov
Theodore R. McKeldin of Mary
land said he won't let his name
be presented to the convention. -
While Gov. Goodwin J. Knight
of California has not categorically
eliminated himself. Sen. William
F. 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

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.
Reports that Eisenhower would
hold open house for possible rivals
of Nixon were discounted on the
ground that all of these persons
proposed by Stassen already have
had clear evidence that any move
