Tail litis lightened control over
Republican convention machinery

fighting vigorously for Uie seating
of Southern delegates favorable to

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

candidate, some other convention
officers, selected by uie arrange

make vital rulings.
One of these is Walter Hallanan

Immigration
Law Passed
WASHINGTON liB The Senate
passed by voice vote and sent to
the White House Wednesday a con
troversial bill revising and codify
ing the nation s immigration and
naturalization laws.
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.

with the minority for the plan.
Sen. Cordon (R-Ore.) voted

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

Morse's plan would have author
ized plant seizure, with power .to
raise the workers' pay and seize
part oi tne plant a profits. The seiz
ure would 'be limited to 60 days

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. '
