MacArthur' Urges Republican "Orusade"
Keynote
Mi Tafft
Site's
Mid
By R. 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.

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

plank.

of the Arkansas delegation dis
closed a shift of delegates cost

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

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."
