The top arrangement commit tees' choice Tuesday of Gen. Doug las MacArUiur as keynoter, and the selection of Tall backers to 111) other major convention posts, was dictated down the line by the ohioans camp. The action served notice on sup porters of Gen. Dwight D. Elsen hower, Tuft's chief rival for the OOP presidential nomination, that there will be no quarter In the buttle over disputed soutnern votes which may go a long way toward determining Uie winner. KEYNOTER The keynoter assignment for MacArUiur, who has publicly bucked Tail and has criticized El senhower indirectly, emphasized the no-compromise mood of Uie Ohlosn's backers. MacArUiur accepted quickly in telegram to national Chairman Guy G. Gnbrlelson, expressing surprise that he bad been picked lor the Job. "I am fully conscious of the high honor and distinction involved but equally uware of its deep obliga tion," MacArUiur told Gabrielson. "I frankly have grave doubts of iny ability to fulfill Its demands. nowevor, in view oi my selec tion, I accept with a real sense of grateful appreciation." Although there had been some question about the legality of Uw five-star general's addressing a party convention because of Army regulations, Uie Pentagon said it would raise no Issue on this point. Friends said MacArUiur would spenk In civilian clothes. RETIREMENT Elsenhower has .asked retirement to campaign and has cut off at his own initiative his S1S.641 yearly pay and allowances from Uie Army. MacArUiur draws a somewhat sun ilnr amount as an officer on acUve duty, without specific assignment. While MacArUiur Is expected to make u Durtv rallying sbeec'.i with out refercpee to nny particular candidate, some other convention officers, selected by uie arrange ments group are In a position to make vital rulings. One of these is Walter Hallanan of West Virginia, a Taft supporter chosen as temporary chairman when that post was divorced from the keynoter's Job In order not to burden MncArthur with gavel pounding chores.

Opponents of the legislation de nounced it as "an anil-alien bill" and said they hoped and expected President Truman would veto tt. Truman has not publicly committed himself one wav or Uie other. 8en. McCnrrnn (D.-Kev.), - chief Senate rponsor " of the" bill denied that it was nnU-alien. On the con trary, he said it was a good biU that will preserve the nsUon's "fundamental institutions and pro vide fair treatment to those aliens who are accorded the privilege of coming to our snores." The measure sent to the Presi dent Is a compromise of separate bills previously passed by the Sen ate nnd House. The House ap proved the flnnl version Tuesday by a vote ol 203 to 63. The measure would eliminate ra cial barters to immigration under which certain Orientals now are excluded, wipe out sex discrimina tions, and tighten security screen ing of aliens and give preference to Immigrants with skills needed in this country. It would retain the national ori gin system of immigration totals.

A driver from the other direction did Uie same with his stiU picture gear, uoin crept close enough, cauUously, lor good close-ups. Suddenly the moose looked both ways, toppled over, kicked up his heels and died. Wildlife agents and highway pa trolmen to whom Painter told his story theorized over whether the beast died oi a neari iusci, woo scared by cameras or was dis gusted with man's encroachments on his domain.

KnwMipr hp stntpd tn the Senate Foreign Relations Committee his previous view thnt the President hns such autnority wnen uie ais patch of the troops would advance Uie security of the United States. The question was raised by Sen. Hickenlooper (R.-Ia.), who said it was of "vital concern to the Amer lcnn people."

Morse (R-Ore.) Sen Magnnson (D-Wash.) voted with the minority for the plan. Sen. Cordon (R-Ore.) voted against tt. Sen Cain (R-Waah.) waa announced as paired against ' ' ate. It was slapped down, U to 26. Morse argued that the Taft Hart ley law, which permits anti-strike Injunctions, would not assure pro duction of steel. 'Americans have been deluded into a conclusion that there in something about Taft-Hartley that would keep steel production go ing," Morse told the Senate, and added: - - "It just ain't so."- To invoke Taft-Hartley now. Morse said, would put the govern ment "on the side of the employi era. Morse's plan would have author ized plant seizure, with power .to raise the workers' pay and seize part oi tne plant a profits.

After hearing him. irate Repub lican and Southern Democratic sen- aiors joined lorces to write into the anu-inflauon Defense Produc tion Act an official "request" that Truman invoke at once the labor relations", law" he- bad inst-'de- nounced as funfair, harmful . and iutne. - . TAFT Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio, co author of the law. and an aspirant for the Republican - presidential nomination, helped lead a succes sion of rebuffs to the White House on the seizure issue. At day's end, Taft told a reporter: -nils was a direct answer to the President's request for Congress to act. Congress has acted." Government officials seemed to be generally agreed that Truman's personally-delivered request to Con gress for a special seizure law came close to committing him to do whatever ' Congress asked. These officials, who asked report ers not- to quote them by name, said the tone of the President's speech suggested willingness to comply with the wishes of Con gress, despite his statement that recourse to Taft-Hartley would be "by far the worse of the two approaches." TAKE SIDES To use the T.ift-Hartlpv nct'u 80- dajr anti-strike injunction provi sions, Truman contended "would be to take sides with the companies and against the workers." He hinted broadly there was no assurance Uie 650.000 striking steel- workers would obey an injunction a statement which drew sparks from Taft and others as art "invita tion" to defy the law.
