BP Officials TOM Visit SF To Lay PDainis Ifcr Convention) Washington U.R) Republi- presidential and vice presiden can National Chairman Leonard I tial condidates. W. Hall will lead a group of party officials to San Francisco next week to arrange for their first west coast national conven tion. They are going out to loxk over the Cow Palace, where the convention opens Aug. 20, 1956, and line up hotel rooms for the delegates who will nominate the Nixon Predicts Fast Progress in Racial Equality - Washington (U.PJ Vice President Richard M. Nixon Sat urday predicted "increasingly fast" progress against racial dis crimination in employment. In a speech prepared for the 12th annual dinner of the Capi tal Press club, comprised large ly of Negro newspapermen, he said no achievement of the Eis enhower administration "will re ceive more universal approval than the progress which has been made toward realizing the Am erican ideal of equality of op portunity for all citizens, re gardless of race, creed or color." He said the president "has thrown the full weight of his influence and power behind a program which was designed from the beginning to get the job done- rather than to make political capital." Praises Negro Leaders Nixon also praised responsible Negro leaders. He said their mod eration "has mobilized public opinion for their cause without letting up equally violent oppo sition against it." He said that "while the fight to remove discrimination in em ployment has been a long uphill climb, we are over the top and our progress in the days ahead will be increasingly fast." "If we continue to support a program of moderation, patience and hard work and resist the demagogue whose primary inter est is in using the cause of pre judice rather than removing it, our efforts will be crowned with complete success." Nixon added that "it is to the eternal credit of American Ne groes and their leaders that they did not prejudice their case by rushing into the arms of the Communists who talked so loud ly for their cause, but only want ed to use them." Hall expects it to be the big gest and most - streamlined con vention in history. Because of the special prob lems of holding a convention on the west coast, in a city they've never used before, the Republi cans are planning their arrange ments 15 months in Advance. , A part of the streamlining, and to overcome the time dif ference between the east' and west coasts, Hall would like to have a single session each day. running from 2 p.m. to 7 or 8- p.m. Pacific Time. That would put the show on the air during the best audience hours 5 p.m. to 10 or 11 p.m. in the popu lace Eastern Time zone. He also hopes to cram the entire convention speeches, demonstrations, adoption of plat form and selection of candidates into four days. Just to be on the safe side, however, the contracts for the convention hall and the hotel rooms will contain an option for a fifth day. Plant Hinge on Ike A lot of the plans hinge on whether President Eisenhower will be a candidate for reelec tion. If he should refuse to run, the Republicans could become embroiled in a battle that would last the full five days and may be longer. Hall expects to know the an swer to that most important question long before the conven tion opens. Mr. Eisenhower has indicated he might have some thing to say early-next year, per haps by the time selection of con vention delegates gets under way. Arriving at San Francisco the night of June 4, Hall and his party will spend the next two days looking over the conven tion hall and the hotel situation.

'Fair Sized' Quake Noted in California Pasadena, Calif. (U.R) A "fair sized" southern California earthquake that was not located was recorded at 11:44 p.m. (PST) Saturday by seismographs at the California Institute of Technol ogy. C a 1 1 e c h Seismologist Dr. Charles Richter said the jolt reg istered 4.5 on his magnitude scale. He said 11 was centered about 80 miles from here and could cause small local damage. However, a check of all areas throughout southern California failed to turn up a report of the quake. Richter said it was "possible" the tremor might have occurred at sea but that it was more like ly it was centered in a desert area. In San Diego, amateur Seismo logist Fred Robinson said the needle on his seismograph made a "jittery" motion about the same time, but he also could not locate where the quake had struck. West Berlin Cops Use Clubs, Hoses To Combat Rioters Berlin (U.R) Police out numbered 10 to one used clubs and fire hoses yesterday to re pel an "invasion" of West Ber lin by 3,000 Communists trying to break up a war veteran's re union. Four policemen and 10 rioters were injured in the clash, which authorities here said was the "largest and most savage" Com munist drive into the city's western sectors in recent years. Twenty-six Reds were arrested. Householders living along the street where the riot occurred aided police by pouring buckets of water on the rioters' heads. Bricks thrown by the rioters injured one United Press Movie tone television photographer and damaged another's camera. Gerd Jawarski was hospitalized for treatment of head injuries, and Kurt Grigar's camera was brok en by the mob. The target of the mob was a British - sector cafe, near the Soviet sector, where veterans of Germany's 3rd Armory Division were holding their fifth postwar reunion. Some 300 specially trained riot police stopped the mob short of their goal. A riot truck mounting four hoses hurled tons of water at the rioters. The Communists fought back with stones and clubs, shouting denunciations of West German rearmament as they battled the police.
