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.

nrrCAGO (Hi It was a Wash-
inotonian who again Wednesday
night for the second time in
this emoatueo HepuDiican conven
tion carried the ball for the
forces of Gen. 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.

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.
