HERALD & NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON THURSDAY, JULY lo; inr.2 PAGE SIXTEEN Ike Captures Texas, Georgia Forges Ahead of Senator Taft " By JACK BELL CONVENTION HALL, CHICAGO (IP) Gen. Dwlght D. Eisenhower nursed Into the lead Thursday In hli Blam ban battle with Sen. Robert A. Talt (or the Republican presidential nomination. Helped by other presidential spirants. Elsenhower bowled over Taft In two vital preliminary vic tories Wednesday nlRht In the seatinR of contested delegations from Georgia and Texas. By the strength his forces dis played, the five-star General of the Armv appeared to have pulled within striking- distance of the first presidential nomination for a pro fessional military man since Dlvs aes S. Grant won the prise and the presidency In 186S. Taft fought a valiant rear guard action against the seating of pro Elsenhower delegations from the two states. But he lost Georgia by a 607 to 831 vote. It was the first time a OOP convention had overruled its credentials committee. I That Tart-dominated group had recommended, J to ai. me seal ing of a delegation heavily weighted for the Ohloan. The Elsenhower allies developed such power that Tail's supporters elected not to oppose the seating of a Texas delegation favoring the general, and it went on in an overwhelming voice vote. Prev iously the committee had approved a pro-Taft group. This made the new lineup In the Associated Press tabulation of del egates: Eisenhower 514. Taft 486, others 110. uncommitted 96. This picture could shift aulckly on the first nomination ballot, when the uncommitted must Join the ranks of those publicly tabbed for one candidate or another. But this slow-moving convention seemed unlikely to get around to any such showdown until Friday. Delegates faced action Thursday on the party platform, followed by the tedious business of nominating candidates.

Dwight D. Elsen hower in a victorious test of strength against Sen. Robert A. Taft. Stat Sen. Donald W. Eastvold of Tacoma, delegate-at-large, led the floor fight for approval of the minority report of the convention Credentials Committee to seat a contested delegation from Georgia favorable to Eisenhower. The result, second and possibly conclusive test of Taft-Eisenhower strength before nominee balloting, was a smashing 607-531 vote for Eastvold's position and seating of the Georgia Elsenhower group. Eastvold, a youthful appearing speaker, was cheered repeatedly as he hammered home his appeal to the convention as "the Supreme Court of tne Kepuoilcan party." In the earlier and initial con vention test it was Gov. Arthur B. Langlie who led a successful fight for adoption of the "fair play- rules cnange lougnt ny tne rait forces. It, too, was an Eisenhower victory. The Washington delegation di vided 19-5 on the question of seat ing the rival Georgia group the majority voting wnn asivoiu ana Eisenhower. . The vote appeared to represent a one-vote swing to Taft from the previously stated 20-4 division. Eastvold, 32, represented the 29th Legislative District in the last legislature and has announced he will file for reelection. A Tacoma attorney, he is the son of Dr. 8. C. Eastvold, presi dent of Pacific Lutheran College, where tne senator conducts courses in business and labor law. Eastvold was selected as Ta coma's "Young Man of the Year" in 1951 for . his contributions to church and community activities.

Government Reorganization ; Pledges reorganization of govern- i ment in line with Hoover Com mission recommendations. I Gov. John S. Fine of Pennsyl. vanla cut down the uncommitted list sharply bv a belated and wide ly forecast announcement that he Is supporting Eisenhower. The 62 to 18 poll of his delegation In favor of seating Uie Georgia Elsenhower group seemed to re flect equal support there for the general in the nomination battle. A Pennsylvania caucus showed 52 votes for the general, 16 for Taft. and three for Gen. Douglas MncArthur. Although Taft's strategists con ceded he had suffered a setback, thev promised grimly to continue the fight. There was no suggestion they micht give way for another can didate, although there was growing talk on the fringes about general MncArthur as a possible runner. Herbert Hoover came out for T.ift Wednesday. The former presi dent, whose speech Tuesday night drew a tremendous convention ova tion, issued a statement pleading for party unity and urged the nom ination of Taft. , Taft himself reiterated he ex pects to be nominated "on an early ballot." He said that "a number" of delegates who voted. Elsenhower's way on the delegate contests "have assured me thev will vote for me on the roll call." Eisenhower, who slept through the convention's midnight vote on the Georgia test, earlier had de clared be would win the nomina tion. In the Georgia contest, the con vention's action seated a delegation listed as 14 for Eisenhower, two for Taft and one undecided. The credentials committee-approved group would have given Taft all 17 votes. Elsenhower's Texas victory gave him 33 votes. Taft five. The Cre dentials Committee had voted for 22 Taft and 16 Elsenhower dele gates from the Lone Star state. Taft contended he had made a gain of 35 votes over a previous rules change test, when backers of all the other candidates went against him. On that test, the margin of his loss was 110 votes. Wednesday night It was 76. In the Georgia contest. Taft showed he has rock bottom sup port of about 531 delegates toward the 604 votes needed for the nom ination. Elsenhower's strength was more difficult to lnooint. Although his side polled 607 votes on Georgia. these Included lui puonciy com mitted to Gov Earl Warren of California and former Gov. Harold E. Stassen of Minnesota. Sen William Knowland told a reporter California will keep Its 70 votes behind Warren through as many ballots as it seems likely that the California!) might emerge as a compromise candidate. It was evident that Stassen and Warren could provide the winning margin lo Elsenhower 11 they chose. The California delegation may have tipped Its leanlnua by voting t2 to s for Elsenhower a Georgia delegation. Minnesota put all of its 2V votes in the Elsenhower column on that test. Michigan, which National Com mitteeman Arthur Summerfleld has kept publicly neutral, listed 32 for the Elsenhower side, 14 for the Taft men. Elsenhower's backers were wary of predicting any first ballot vic tory. But Thomas E. Coleman of Wis consin, Taft's floor manager, told reporters he thinks the "grass roots" slates will swing the nom ination for Tail. "The Dewev control over the New York delegation alone pre vented a Taft victory," Coleman declared. "Before the balloting Is over the delegates from the grass roots states will turn the fortunes of the party to new hands. "They will not give the next campaign to the same man that lost the last two." Coleman's allusion to Gov. Thomas E. Dewey seemed to be part of an apparent Taft move to make the New York governor the prune object of their attack. Buy the Best "Sikes Office Chairs' . . . Voight's Pioneer Office Supply Co. 629 Main.
