W. RUHL Chicago General MacArthur has come and gone he definitely did not conquer. There was plenty of applause, two or three at tempts to start some sort of demonstration, but they died abornin'. As one MacArthur supporter expressed it: "It just didn't come off as expected.." It didn't. Unless a miracle happens and this just isn't, to date, a mira cle convention General MacArthur has no more chance of being on the G.O.P. ticket in first, or second place, than has Wayne Morse. And few would deny the latter's chances to be guilty of extreme understatement are not bright. Your correspondent had a shock, however, when in the midst cf yesterday's proceedings, it came over the sound waves that Senator Morse of Oregon would be the next speaker. Had they named Harry Truman the incredulity could hardly have been greater, for the Oregon delegation -had weeks ago put Senator Morse on the black list as far as individual" activities were concerned, much less going to the rostrum and making a speech: When the next speaker was not Morse, ye editor decided he had better take the next bus for Wabash avenue and get a hearing aid. But it was soon explained Senator Morse had been giving valiant assistance to the next speaker, and Chairman Gabrielson decided he (Morse) was going to give the speech and so declared. That was not the only time Chairman Gabrielson got his wires crossed. He looks fierce, rather like a dog show "boxer," but when he shows his teeth it's a sickly, Ferdinand smile, not a bite, or even a bark. ...... ...-...,..., The failure of the MacArthur keynote together with the failure of Taft forces to beat the Eisenhower forces in the important cre dentials contest yesterday has completely transformed the situa tion, and everyone but Robert Alphonso himself admits it. This doesn't mean that Eisenhower is in, but he is far nearer being in than anyone would have predicted 24 hours ago. But Senator Taft still insists he is not only sure to win, but on the first ballot, and even interprets this defeat on the floor as more evidence of his certain triumph. "How does he get that way?" is heard throughout the press gallery. To date there has been no concerted answer.

The economy-mmded 82nd Con- cress finally adjourned sine die Monday night after the House resolved its dispute with the Senate by giving the administra tion $2,898,800,000 for new atomic rjlants and equipment during fiscal 1953. The wrangle had delayed adjournment tor two days. Congress voted enough money for the Atomic Energy Commis sion to pay for completing all the new secret projects which BULLETINS , New Vork (U.R) .The strike-bound steel industry will ask CIO United Steel Workers President Philip r Murray to meet with ii "maybe as early as Thursday" in efforts to re sume the movements of iron ore, Benjamin Fairless, presi dent and chairman of United States Steel Corporation, said Tuesday. ' Washington (U.R) The White House Tuesday an nounced the resignation of Philip B.

Henriquez Guzman said he did not cause the riot but warn ed he would lead any movement against the government, which supported Ruiz Cortines and has ruled Mexico for 26 years. Leftist Demonstration The riot started about 6:30 p.m. near Alameda Plaza, a fav orite tourist spot in the heart of the capital, when about 2,000 leftists demonstrated for Hen riquez Guzman, who was over whelmingly defeated by.

The sum is $1,448,- 800.000 more than the House voted Saturday night and $898, 000,000 more than its compro mise .offer which the Senate re jected as inadequate .early ' Sun day morning. The atomic agreement cleared the way for final passage of a $11,739 776,339 "catch -all" bill which also carried $6,031,947,750 for foreign aid and $2,145,000, 000 for military construction at home and abroad. It led to prompt solution of a second dis pute which had held up final congressional approval of the only other "must" legislation $584,061,600 for the Army En gineers' so-called "pork barrel" projects. Communist Radio States Compromise Formula Rejected Panmunjom, Korea (U.R) Radio Peiping announced .Tues day that- the Communists have rejected a United Nations "face- saving" compromise formula for solving the truce deadlock over repatriation of war prisoners. The Chi'nese Communist broadcast appeared to be a flag rant violation of the agreement reached last Friday at Red re quest to keep progress of Korean truce negotiations secret until further notice. No Protest The U. N. made no immediate protest. The two sides met under a newsblackout for 48 minutes today and called another session for 11 a.m. Wednesday. A U.

Jar vinen, 32, Seattle travel agency executive accused of giving the government false . information about Owen Lattimore, will be brought to trial September 16. General's Keynote Calls for Battle Against 'War Party' Conduct of Korean War Said Indecisive Convention Hall, Chicago (U.R) Gen. Douglas MacArthur, the "old soldier" whom Presi dent Truman fired .15 months ago, rallied Republicans to a crusade against the Democratic "war party." Republican leaders generally reactedwith enthusiasm to the impassioned call to battle Mac Arthur issued Monday night to oust the Democratic "schemers and planners." Salvos Of Scorn , In a 59-minute keynote ad dress to the 25th Republican convention, the 72 - year - old hero of the Pacific loosed salvoes of scorn against the Truman ad ministration. He aimed directly at the "indecisive conduct of the campaign in Korea." That conduct, and other "tra gic blunders,", he said, increas ed rather than decreased the danger of global war with Rus sia." ' "It is fatal to ener any war without the will to win it," Mac Arthur said. "I criticize not the morality of the decision, -but its irresponsibility - and reckless ness." . Burst of Applause That statement touched off a burst of applause- that lasted a full minute.r BuCthe delegates' cheers were even louder when he said the administration had talked and pledged peace while moving toward war, and addend: " "Indeed, none can deny what history so clearly records that the Democratic party has well earned the doubtful distinc tion of being the war party of modern American politics. The dead of World War I, of World War II and the Korean war render mute testimony." Gov. John S. Fine of pivotal Pennsylvania called it a "force ful indictment" of the last two Democratic administrations. There was some criticism that it was an isolationist speech which cast doubt on collective security as an instrument of na tional defense. Martin said he did not think MacArthur had been isolationist but merely re minded the country that Asia, as well as Europe, was import ant. Morse Unimpressed Sn. Wayne Morse of Oregon, an Eisenhower supporter, ' called the keynote address "a grand flop the fadeaway is on its way." MacArthur said that in pay ing attention to Europe "we have tended to discard from our concern those great peoples of Asia and the Middle East who historically have sought not our -wealth, but our friendship and understanding." The general's voice was al most a whisper as he said the Republican party's "challenge to leadership" was to- be found in an "aroused countryside"' eager to march on a crusade for peace and security. Then he turned his eyes up ward and said, "So help me God!" . MacArthur was interrupted 71 times by applause and got an eight-minute stomping, whoop ing ovation from the 2,000 per sons in the hall when he marched down the center aisle to take the platform. Didn't Wear Uniform The general didn't wear his five-star uniform, as he has in so many . cf . his public speeches in which he has attacked the Tru man administration. - He wore a blue aouble-breasted suit with a matching blue tie. There was another wild demon stration when he left the plat form. They, were the first full scale demonstrations of the con vention. . MacArthur seemed to enjoy them, He smiled and waved to the crowd with his familiar, full-arm gesture. In accusing the ..Democratic leaders of "failures" which have "betrayed" the youth of Amer ica," and in asserting-that the Democratic Party has been cap tured by "schemers and plan ners" v.ho have set the national course toward socialism, Mac- Taft Holds Edge In Clew Hearings; Ike Picks Up 4 Chicago (U.R) The Repub lican convention credentials committee Tuesday voted 30 to 21 against seating a pro-Eisenhower delegation from Georgia. Convention Hall, Chicago (U.R) Sen. Robert A. Taft lost four scattered votes Tuesday to Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower in their bitter fight for the Repub lican presidential nomination, but the Ohio senator seemed to have the edge in new hearings on disputed Southern delega tions. The convention held a routine oratorical session this afternoon while the rival camps scrapped in the credentials committee ov er 68 contested delegates from the South. This time the fight was before television cameras, which were barred when the Republican Na tional . Committee, in the week before the convention opened, was awarding 42 of the 68 dele gates to Taft. Battle Set Wednesday The final "battle of the stolen delegates" will not hit the con vention floor until Wednesday. The program originally called for the credentials committee, picked Monday with Taft men in control, to make its report at the close of Tuesday s fore noon convention session. But delegate - toy - delegate argu ments slowed the proceedings. Walter S.' Hallanan, tempor- ary chairman of the convention, announced that the credentials committee would not report to the convention on the contested delegates until Wednesday. The committee's first act Tues day was a unanimous vote to rec ommend seating from Florida 16 Taft delegates, one for Ike and one uncommitted as the Nation al Committee had proposed. All indications were that the Taft - dominated 4 credentials committee would turn in a re port like that produced by the Taft - dominated National Com mittee. The Eisenhower camp will appeal it directly to the convention floor, where Eisen hower will have the benefit of a rules change rammed - through Monday in the convention's first big test of strength. Ike got 658 votes in that test to Taft's 548. New Yorkers Switch That was not an exact gauge of delegate strength, however. As of mid-day the United Press count showed 541 first ballot votes pledged to Taft ,and 450 to Eisenhower, a net loss of four delegates to Taft in the course of the forenoon. Two New York Negro "delegates pledged to Taft shifted to Eisen hower because, they charged, Taft Republicans "are opposing Arthur's voice rang with the tones he has used on battlefields to discipline erring subordinates. "Splendid Fighting Speech" The reaction of Republican leaders generally echoed the statement of House Republican Joseph W. Martin of Massachu setts that it was a - "splendid fighting speech." One Shot, Four Others Hurt In 'Broadway Portland (U.R) One youthl was shot and wounded, four oth er persons were" injured and seven taken into police custody early Tuesday at the climax of a clash between factions of Port land's juvenile "Broadway gang." Arthur P. Karch, 21, Beaver ton, was wounded in the knee and taken to Emanuel .hospital and officers said a disorderly conduct charge might be lodged against him later. -Battle Royal - Detective Sgt. Dan Mitola said the fracas started late Monday night when, five Beaverton youths and three Portlanders en gaged in a fistic "battle royal" at a main downtown intersection after hurling insults at each oth er from parked automobiles. ' When the fighting ended, the Portlanders headed home to the Sellwood district and the Beaver ton car followed. Shots Fired The battle started again at the a strong civil rights" rjlatform plank. Chairman Wallace Townsend of the Arkansas delegation dis closed a shift of delegates cost in t Taft two and upping Ike's total by three. Work on Platform Nears Completion At GOP Convention Chicago (U.R) Party lear- ers and expert draftsmen Tues day whipped into final shape the 1952 Republican platform for approval by the resolutions committee at 8 a.m. Wednesday. Chairman Eugene D. Millikin called the meeting, which will be closed to press and public. He said all but a few details of the several-thousand-word cam paign document had been com pleted. . - It was apparent no attempt would be made to revise a report ed "collective security" foreign policy plank to meet objt-ctions of Gen. Douglas MacArthur in Monday night's keynote con ven tion address. Gen. Dwight D, Eisenhower, who has" approved the foreign policy : plank, expressed doubt today about a related plank on national defense, but it seemed unlikely ' the drafters would change it. It is reported to put the party on record for global superiority in the air. Eisenhower said he had a "quick glance" . at the defense plank, and that he was "not so certain' he approved of it. Pre sumably his doubts were over its reported de-emphasis on land forces and its call for a land and sea-borne air team second to none in the world. Medford Temperature Hottest for Oregon Medford's 99-degree weather Monday kept the city the hot test spot in the -state. And the weather bureau expects the temperature to be even higher today. A high of 102 has been predicted. The Medford office of the weather bureau anticipates a low tonight of 60 degrees and a high tomorrow of 98. The out look, they said, is for continued fair weather and little change in temperature. ' Fire danger continues through out western ' Oregon, according to the weather bureau. A mini mum humidity of 15 to 20 per cent is expected in inland west em Oregon.. Moderate east winds will continue Tuesday but decrease Wednesday. Chicago (U.R) Gov. Sher man Adams of New Hampshire has been named floor manager for Gen. Dwight Eisenhower at the Republican Convention. Gang' Fight home of William E. Davis, 17, whose father, Richard E. Daivs, 51, was awakened by the disturb ance and ordered the Beaverton youths to leave the property A rifls which young Dais had grabbed from the house exchang ed hands several times and final ly was fired several times, mostly by. the Davis youth, according to the. police report. One bullet went through a car door and struck Karch in the knee. ' Those taken into custody in eluded William L. Peterson, 19, and Theodore. R. Lathrop, 24, both of Beaverton, and William F. Taylor, 18, of Portland. Young Davis and another - 17-year-old Negro youth named Johnson were placed in the juvenile ward and two 16-yeaf-old youths, both of Beaverton, were held on cur few charges, The two Davises, Lathrop and Johnson received minor injuries. Eisenhower Forces State Sen. Taft's Claims Exploded Delegates Troop , To Visit General Chicago (U.R) Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower called Tuesday for a "tremendous Re publican majority" in Novem ber, rather than a "see-saw bat tle" which would win the .White House but not control of Cong ress. Bubbling with confidence aft er his convention test vote vic tory Monday, Eisenhower told a pro-Taft Nebraska delegation that the vote clired the way for appealing to youthful voters. independents and "disgruntled Democrats" in November. Taft Claim Exploded On the basis of the rules vote victory on the floor, Eisenhow er leaders said Sen.- Robert A. Taft's claim that he has enough delegate strength to win on an early ballot has now been ex ploded. "We want a tremendous Re publican majority, not a see-saw battle which would get us the executive office, lose the Sen ate, and give us a small major ity in the House where would you be then?" Eisenhower said. "Therefore, we should con gratulate ourselves on yester day's action. I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings, but that's how I feel," he said. Headquarters Jammed His headquarters, jammed at mid-morning, radiated optimism as delegates from Alabama, Alas ka, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and other states trooped into the general's suite. He invited news men in when he met with the Nebraska ns. He called for translating into politics "a deep religious faith." which he said was the founda tion on which the United States was established. "One place where France has gone astray is that they have 50 per cent of their people agno stics or atheists. It takes no brains to be an atheist." He said atheist sentiment in France has reached the point "where the moral fiber has disintegrated." Foreign Policy Approved The general said he approved the platform foreign policy plank prepared by John Foster Dulles as one carrying "essen tials", for an intelligent program abroad. Eisenhower said he had only "a quick glance" at the national security plank, but that he was "not so certain" he approved of it. The plank endorses a big air force and makes no mention of universal military service. Breakfasting with the pro Eisenhower Missouri delegation, Eisenhower called for party har mony so that in the fall elections "we can kick the Democrats so far it'll take them 20 years to get back." City Budget Hearing Scheduled Here Today A public hearing on Medford's proposed $1,007,138 city budget will be held this evening at 7:30 o'clock in thp rifv hall arrnrri- ing to Robert Duff, city super intendent.
