COP. Move 10 Purge
PartyChiefs Expected;
Duff Seen as Chairman
lx Tho Askeeiotsd Rrsss


A move to purge the present lead
efsl1tp of the Republican National
Committee was said today to be
shaping up around Gov. Duff OF
Pennsylvania.
Gov. Dun is being mentioned In
some Republican quarters as pos
sihle carNiidate to succeed Repre-
sentative Hugh D. Scott, jr., who
was named to the national chair
manship by Gov. Dewey.
Many Republicans here doubt that
Gov. Duff will let himself become
publicly involved IN any such con-
test. But these same Republican
officials say they think the Pennsyl-
vania Governor must be reckoned
with In any move to change the
party's high command.
Gov. Dun isn't a member of the
National Committee, but friends
say he wields a lot of influence as
the Governor of q big State that
stayed in the Republican column
November z.
Led Anti-Dewey Forces.
The 65-year-old Pennsylvania
represents to many the party's anti
Dewey forces who took q licking at
the Philadelphia convention. They
have bounced back into the lime
light since Gov. Dewey's defeat by
President Truman.
Gov. Duff made his peace with
Gov. Dewey during the general
election campaign.
But he did about everything he
could to oppose Gov. Dewey's NOM
ination. He lost a fight within his
own States delegation when Sen
ator Martin and other leaders
pumped for the New York Gov
ernof.
But Gov. Duff held 28 of Penn
sylvanias 73 ballots in line for
Senator Taft of Ohio through the
first and second ballots. He pre-
viously had tried to get Senator
vandenberg of Michigan openly
into the race.
Close to Vandenberg, Taft
Out of that battle grew up q
close association between Gov. Duff
and Senator Vandenberg, as well
as with Senator Taft and other
G. O. p. leaders.
The Pennsylvania Governor Is
looked on as a potential candidate
two years from now when Senator
Myers of Pennsylvania, expected to
become assistant Democratic leader
in the new Congress, will be run
ming again.
But just now Gov. Duff is rep
resented as believing that q change
in the party's command, such as
was suggested recently by Clarence
Buddington Kelland, Arizona ma
tional committeeman, is In order.
Most of the party's wheel horses
apparently want to wait q couple
Of months until they see what hap
pens in Congress before they meet
the issue of q possible shakeup.

committees that he furnished her
with important information during
the war.
Transcripts of the testimony are
available to the board, but Mr.
Remington, through his counsel
has asked for the opportunity to
confront and cross-examine his
accuser.

Phillip Murray and some of his tor
aides are fed up with the pro-
Communist line followed by the

Mr.. Flaxer consistently has re-

refused to answer this question when
it was put to him by Congressional
committees.
As q result of its left wing policies
UPWAs membership in the Federal
