Republican Platform Drafters Expect NoMajor Differences
San Francisco tU.Rj Repub
lican policy drafterg meet to
day t draw up a platform based
on the theme of "Peace, Pros
perity and Progress" under
President Eisenhower.
Sen. Prescott Bush (R-Conn),
chairman of the resolutions com
mittee for the 1956 Republican
Convention, predicted the new
GOP statement of principles will
be drafted without major fights
or differences, even on civil
rights.
1 "It will be a platform based
on the- Eisenhower record of
achievements," Bush predicted.
"We hope to come up with a plat
form that is brief, forthright and
honest . . . and we hope it will
be considerably shorter than the
1932 plank.
"Our committee intends to
draft a platform presenting the
Eisenhower record of peace.
prosperity and progress and our
pledges for the future promises
which will be kept, as we kept
those we made in 1952."
Bush's committee, composed of
some of the ranking party lead
ers, will hold hearings in 10
subcommittees in the next two
days and hopes to be able to
work out a final draft by the
time the GOP national conven
tion opens next Monday,
On civil rights, an issue cur
rently plaguing the Democratic
convention in Chicago, Bush
predicted the GOP would recom
mend that the Supreme Court
decision on segregation is the
liw of the land and that the Re
publican Party pledges its ef
forts to implement it.

Langlie Hard at Work
Dratfing Republican
Convention Address
Olympia, Wash (U.P.! Gov.
Arthur B. Langlie was hard at
work today drafting a hard-hitting
keynote address for deliv
ery at the National Republican
convention Monday in San Fran
cisco. Aside from a heavy schedule
of official business, the govern
or has been spending four to
six hours a day on the biggest
speaking assignment of his 21
year political career.
Starts Early in Morning
"And I start pretty early in
the morning, usually about 5:30,"
Langlie said. "I even wake up
wondering about it."
Presenting1 a positive view of
GOP programs will be a major
job of the keynoter. But Langlie
also finds himself in much the
same position as he did after the
state Democratic convention.
He must answer a blistering
attack by the Democrats.
Langlie, who replied to Demo
cratic charges while addressing
the state GOP convention last
month in Seattle, now is faced
with a similar situation follow
ing a vigorous attack on the Re
publicans by Tennessee Gov.
Frank G. Clement Monday night
in Chicago.
Langlie had no immediate
comment on Clement's volley.
He will save it for Monday.
The Washington governor who
set the state convention on fire
with his oratory, has indicated
he will stress the contention
that the GOP has reversed a
"very dangerous trend toward
centralization of government."
National GOP Chairman Leo
nard W. Hall has said Langlie's
speech "won't be filled with dis
tortions and half-truths like
Clement's."
To this, Langlie commented:
"I'm happy Mr. Hall has that
much confidence in me."
The vital role of Northwest
senatorial races in GOP cam
paign strategy appeared to be
pointed up by the selection of
former Oregon Gov. Douglas Mc
Kay to introduce Langlie.
VERY LITTLE RUSSIAN
Hamilton, K.Y. vU.R) Only
nine American secondary schools
offer courses in Russian, accord
ing to a study by Henry W.
Mott at Colgate University. He
said most schools do not offer the
course because few states have
Russian tests in college entrance
examinations.
Chicago Polio Cases
Flare Up in New Area
Chicago (U.R) A decline in
the number of polio cases report
ed in the hardest' hit area of
Chicago's record outbreak of the
disease was apparently offset by
an increase in another congested
area.
Health authorities reported
that only 11 of the 25 new cases
reported for the last check pe
riod occurred in the slum-ridden
West Side area, which previous
ly accounted for more than half
of the new cases daily.
However, the new total was
only three cases below the rec
ord one-day total of 28 cases
Aug. 2. The latest figures
brought the total to 741 cases
and 21 deaths.
