Douglas MacArthur for president made a new try to day to reach the Republican Na tional convention with 30,000 campaign buttons before it's "too late." Ervin Hohensee, director of MacArthur for President, Inc., had planned to leave for San Francisco Monday night by plane. But he said he didn't go because the Republican Nation al committee couldn't find his seat reservations for the conven tion. He said he planned to leave today as soon as the committee confirmed that convention tick ets are waiting for him. May Well Year' "This may well be the year," he said. "But there's no use go ing if I don't have any tickets." Hohensee said he thinks the convention may be about to "dump" Eisenhower because of his health. He said if the con vention did that MacArthur would be the "main contender." He said he has not been in touch with the "hero of Bataan" so far this year, but there is "no question he would accept" the presidential nomination. And even if President Elsen hower is renominated, Hohensee said he believes MacArthur would be willing to accept the vice presidential nomination to resolve the "Dump Nixon" cam paign of Harold E. Stassen. Enjoy heolttv rest, comfort ond hospitality amidst pltoiant suiroundinai. Completely Furnished Steeping ond Housekeeping Cobirri. with oil modern foeilitres.
