Texas Lists Convention Group In Face Of Three-Way Split By The Associated Press Texas names a 50-vote democratic national convention delegation to- nt. in mnmnllnn tnm ! tween factions for and against Presi dent Truman am. a middle-of-the-road group. Lone Star State republicans pick 33 delegates expected to be largely In Uie camp of Senator Taft of Ohio. The - democrats met at Brown wood, the republicans at Corpus Chrlstl. It was tilt only presidential delegate picking of the day. At Washington Senator Robert A. Taft said he it, counting on two thirds of the 267 republican presi dential nominating delegates from 12 southern and three borderline states. Although Taft didn't discuss in detail his claimed southern strength, aides contend the Ohioan will have majority backing In 12 of the 15 states on Uie first ballot at Phila delphia. They conceded Gov. Thomas E. Dewey only one delegation, Okla homa's 20-vote group, and said they will break even with him In Florida, with six votes each and four lor Stassen. Party loyalty, an issue among the democrat there four years ago when Texas aent pro and anti-Roosevelt delegations to the national conven- Uon, was Uie big quesUon again to day. One group favored a delegation Instructed for the president. A sec ond wanted an untnstructed dele- . gaUon opposed to Uie president and his civil right program but willing to stand by hin. if nominated. A ' third was anti-Truman all Uie way. Gov. Dewey, f esh from his vlc tory over Stassen for Oregon's 12 vote delegation, ' headed east after visit to Idaho and Montana. He spoke at Butte last night, calling for U. S. world leadership and a "general house-cleaning" in Wash -lngton. Latest Oregon primary returns . nearly complete showed Dewey led Stassen by 9,037 votes. On Uie democratic side In Oregon, a write-in vote gave supreme court Justice William O. Douglas top place for the vice presidential nom ination. Wyoming, Montana, and Alaskan delegations are pledged to Senator O'Mahoney (D.-Wyo.) for second place on the democratic Ucket. President Truman was unopposed for Oregon's 16-vote delegation. - i
