Taft's hold on Southern Republican ma chinery and to round-up conven tion votes for the general. - Some 30 Ike leaders from 11 southern states put their heads together with Rep. Hugh Scott (R-Pa.), former chairman of the GOP national committee. They hoped to come up with a formula for. translating Eisenhower's popular appeal into Ike-pledged convention delegates. . South Inspired The growing Ike boom else where in the nation has inspired Southern supporters of the gen eral to step up their campaign to win convention votes in a 'territory once considered solid for Taft. " A United Press survey of 10 Dixie states indicated that Ike forces still have an uphill fight on their hands although they appear to have made some gains. .The survey showed Taft ap parently leading in six of the states and Eisenhower in one. Three others were doubtful. 'There is no question but that Gen. Eisenhower is the popular choice of Southern Republi cans," said Atlanta attorney Elbert Tuttle, a Georgia leader for the general.

German Chancellor Cautions World on Russian Proposals Editors note: World atten tion is focused on Soviet Rus sia's latest move in the cold war, proposing to the Allies unification of Germany and negotiation of a peace treaty with the former enemy coun try. A. L. Bradford, vice presi dent of the United Press for Europe obtained a significant interview with German Chan cellor Adenauer just before the latter's departure Horn Paris in which the German statesman gave a solemn warn ing that Russia's aim is to pre vent organisation of the de fens of Europe. By A. L. BRADFORD U. P. Staff Correspondent (Copyright. 1952 United Press) Paris (U.R) Chancellor Kon rad Adenauer Saturday warned the world that the Soviet Rus sian proposal for unification of Germany and negotiation of a peace treaty with that country was an appeal to German Na tionalist aimed at delaying inte gration of Europe and upsetting European defense. The German Chancellor's warning was given in an exclu sive interview when he received me Friday in his hotel suite immediately upon his return from the Quai D'Orsay. There he had his final talk with For eign Ministers Sc human of France, Eden of Great Britain and American Ambassador Dunn, on the impending West ern reply to the Soviet note. Shortly after the interview he left by plane for Bonn. Delay "Dangerous" Adenauer said that any delay in the establishment of the European defense community would be a dangerous develop ment and would involve reper cussions in the coming presiden tial elections in the United States. He said that the situa tion resulting from the Russian note should speed the' organiza tion of a federation of Europe. The Chancellor made the fur ther important and significant point in the interview that Ger many will not renounce her claims to the German provinces east of the Oder-Neisse line. Declaring that he was satis fied with the terms of the lm pending Allied reply to Russia, Adenauer continued: "I view the Soviet note as fol lows: It is an attempt to influ ence German Nationalists and furthermore to delay the integra tion of Europe and the establish ment of a European defense com munity. I can imagine that delay of a European defense communi ty might also have some effect on the presidential elections in the United States." The Chancellor said he thought that "the Western powers ap praise the whole situation cor rectly, and like calm and deligent students of Russian policy." Asked what he thought the Allied conditions should be for opening negotiations with Rus sia, Adenauer replied: "Let us drop the word conditions. The question is to establish the mo ment when serious talks can be started with the Soviets. The effect of the exchange of notes will show whether the Soviet Union is now ready to recognize that the present world situation no longer allows for unilateral solutions which are in the sole interest of Soviet Russia."

The idea was to see which company could get there first. And maybe win a set-up of beer if they could hold down the damage. Many a home became cinders before anybody arrived. All of this, and a whole lot more, is in print in a book by Kenneth Holcomb Dunshee ti tled "As You Pass By." Hastings House. The art and text carries one back across the years in the history of old New York. Rivalry Displayed The rivalry among the early companies is displayed in the "logs" from some of the fire companies.

Dunshee looked into the matter of Bamum's museum, which was the scene of unusual events in the history of New York. In early times it was the center of the amusement world. The au thor dug out the fact that in 1849, Catherine Havens wrote: "We always ask him to take us past Polly B's house. She set fire to a house and burned up ever so many people, and I guess she was hung for it, because there is a wax figure of her in Bar num's museum." In the 1850's Barnum put on a show called "The Patriots of 76." The" production called for a large cast of extras.

After a ". of Crafton's shouting, she did. midst of the most exciting part, an alarm sounded. A man named Bill Racey ducked out of the wings and announced in a loud voice "boys, there's a fire in the 7th district." The cast to a man volunteer firemen deserted the stage and' answered the sum mons. Birds Freed On July 13, 1865, flames broke out in a house of birds and animals on Ann street.
