WEATHER By United Press North California: Pair Monuay and Tuesday. News! Shell Doily! Man in On GOP Split Of 1912 Doesn't Feel It Will Happen Again Editors note: Sen. Robert A. Taft. R-O.. fold a news con ference at Washington last . week that his father, William Howard Taft, might be consid ered a steamroller in the sense that his father's forces had , control of the Republican con vention in 1912 and added that he "probably", controlled the Republican national commit tee this year. Here is the story of one of the delegates to the historic national convention 40 years ago. BY WILLIAM MC MACKIN Chicago (U.R) Eighty-three-year old Bill Busse, who as a del egate watched the Republican Party split at a convention in 1912, says he doesn't think it will happen again. He was a member of the Il linois delegation at the 1912 con vention and cast a vote for "Teddy" Roosevelt in his contest with William Howard Taft, fath er of Sen. Robert A. Taft, who now seeks the GOP presidential nomination at the convention which opens next Monday. Teddy Had Same Charge Backers of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, battling with Taft for the nomination, have said Taft forces control the conven tion machinery in 1952. "T.R." came to Chicago in 1912 with the same charge against the fol lowers of the elder Taft. "But he made more noise about it," said Busse. When Roosevelt lost out, he and his backers bolted the convention and formed the progressive Bull Moose Party. The split in the Republican ranks helped Democrat Woodrow Wilson win the presidency. Busse, still an active member of the Cook County Board of Commissioners, said he doubts that a third party will be formed this year. "The entire situation has changed," he said. "Teddy had been President. He was extreme ly well liked by the people and able to make a lot of noise." 246 Delegates Disputed Busse said the 1912 conven tion fight centered around 246 disputed delegates, most of them Big Plane Makes Emergency Landing Firemen stood by at the Med ford municipal airport early Sun day morning when a United Air Lines DC-4 made an emergency landing. The airliner, which had an ov erheated motor, landed without incident, the firemen said. Sixty passengers and three crew members were transferred to an empty plane which had been "dead-headed" from Den- from southern states. Roosevelt arrived on June 15 4o take per sonal charge of what he called a "naked fight against theft and thieves." A rip-roaring floor fight be gan in convention at the Chicago Coliseum. A Credentials Com mittee was formed, with Nation al Committeeman Thomas J. De vine of Colorado elected chair man. Busse said he was consid ered an anti-Hoosevelt man. He defeated W. S. Lauder of North Dakota for the chairmanship of the committee. Then Roosevelt turned his battle against the nomination of Elihu Root as convention chair man. He feared Root favored Taft, Roosevelt lost again, and Root, who had been temporary chairman, took over as perman ent chairman. Roosevelt forces accused the elder Taft of "steamroller" tac tics when the convention voted to allow contested Taft delegates to vote on the membership of the all-important Credentials Com mittee. When the committee returned its report, allowing the contested delegates to remain on the tem porary roll, Teddy walked out and formed his own party. Germs Kill Children, North Koreans Claim Washington (U.R) Sov iet propagandists are telling Mid dle Eastern radio listeners that American fliers are dropping germ-laden toys to kill Korean children. A part of the virulent "hate America" campaign from Moscow, one broadcast gave a highly dramatized "story" of a 17-year-old dancer who enter tained wounded Red soldiers near the front lines. "One day an American plane dropped some toys while she was perfor ming," the Soviets -said. "She picked up the toys and gave them to the children, think ing that American planes always drop bombs and that the drop ping of toys was a blessed change. "But the children who receiv ed the toys died because the toys were filled with plague microbes."

PARDNER-THERE S J GREEN GOLD IN THEM rTHAR HILLS KEEP OREGON GREEN Taft Takes Command In Republican Dispute By LYLE C. WILSON - Chicago (U.R) Sen. Rob ert A. Taft took personal com mand Monday in the Republi can rules and delegate disputes which have brought an angry storm over the party and its presidential nominating conven tion which meets here July 7. Republican tempers are hot as the prairie winds. Fraud and vote stealing charges flew fast among the party men who two weeks hence must pull up their socks for another presidential battle .with the Democrats. It has been 24 years since a Re publican took one of those. Both Sides Confident Both sides are confident. Taft has 490 first ballot votes on the United Press tabulation and Gen. Dwight D.. Eisenhower 405. Needed to nominate, a bare ma jority of 604. There might be a stalemate, but few expect it. Eis enhower or Taft by July 11, is the word here. No one foresees a bolt because both candidates have promised to support the party ticket. If the general and senator knocked each other out Gen. Douglas MacArthur would be a likely prospect, or Sen. Everett Dirksen of Illinois. . MacArthur is the Taf t-picked keynote speak er and Dirksen will make Taft's nominating speech. The senator arrived early to day from Washington. 1 Ike Backers Gunning Eisenhower's supporters are gunning for the traditional con vention rule which permits con tested delegates okayed. by the national committee and the cre dentials committee to be seated in the convention temporarily and to vote on all delegate con tests other than their own. National Committee Chairman Guy George Gabrielson said his torical precedent for that rule went back to 1888. Taft supports that rule for 1952. The 106-member national com mittee will begin hearing con tests Tuesday, taking the seven affected states in order: Flori da, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri and Texas. Each contest will be decided be fore the next is taken up. De feated contestants may appeal within 24 hours to the conven tion credentials committee. Ap peal from the credential com mittee is to the convention, it self. That is when the rule on who may vote gets hot. Texans Confident Leaders of the contesting Tex as delegations arrived in Chica go loaded with confidence, evi dence and bitterness toward their adversaries. Eisenhower in Denver was pondering several Midwestern speaking invitations preliminary to his arrival here July 5, two days before the convention meets. The general is coming for the duration. Taft will return to Washington for July 4 and leturn the next day to Chicago with Mrs. Taft. The senator's cause was nudg ed Sunday night with announce ment that Alf M. Landon, the Kansas governor nominated for president by Republicans in 1936 had come out for him. Eisenhower headquarters in Denver countered with a state ment by John Hjkellum, James town, N. D., that the general was whittling away some of the 11 delegates Taft claimed there. Hjkellum said the senator would get not more than eight of North Dakota's 14 votes on the first ballot and few thereafter.
