Eisenhower Leaders
Trying To Break Up

Eisenhower's Dixie leaders met
Saturday to discuss ways to
crack Sen. Robert A. 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.

be the only state where the GOP
machinery is dominated by Ike
supporters. And a rival pro-Taft

Meanwhile, a Georgia backer
of Sen. Estes Kefauver for the
Democratic nomination urged
Nebraska and Wisconsin voters
to' support the Tennessee crime
hunter on behalf of Georgia
voters who "have lost our freed

New Law
A! new Georgia law, aimed
squarely at President Truman,
will keep names of presidential
candidates off the November
election ticket in Georgia. Thus
presidential electors will be
morally and legally free to vote

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."

Rivalry Displayed
The rivalry among the early

"logs" from some of the fire

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
