He is the man who yesterday
drove the Michigan executive to q

he completely forgot the cabbie.
Who's going to pay me, you?"
asked the driver of the reporters
as Gov. sigler was rapidly disap-

MocArthur's Name Presented

Assoeioied Press Staff Writer

PHILADELPHIA, June 24-Two
Ill men leaning on canes--a nearly
blind lawyer and partly-deaf SOL
dier-early today placed an absent
warrior in nomination for the Re-
publican presidential candidacy.
The absent warrior, Gen. Mac
Arthur, got a brief burst OF ap-
plause shortly before dawn In a
Convention Hall three-fourths
empty.
His dvocates-Harlin w. Kelley,
Milwaukee attorney, and retired
Gen. Jonathan Wainwright, hero OF
Bataan-Were cheered even more
heartily by the sparse galleries and
depleted ranks of delegates.
Guided to the speakers table as
he tapped with his red-and-white
cane, Mr.. Kelly lauded Gen. Mac
Arthur as s'An honest, honorable
Christian gentleman who can unite
all parties and creeds."
Politicians Dime a Dozen.
He said the job ahead was TOO big
for any politician. He said Gen.
MacArthur's lips had been sealed
by the War Department, but that
he would resign from the Army If
nominated.
Politicians are dime dozen,
Mr.. Kelley said, looking around at
the gathering of politicians he
couldn't see. But there Is only
one Douglas Macarthur"
He stepped back, still weak from
q 1o3-degree fever that kept him in
bed until last Monday.
Cheers bounced of the empty
gallery seats. Supporters trooped
around the hall with baskets carry
ing the 1,1O3,574 letters and tele-
grams indorsing Gen. Macarthur.
But the parade and the cheering
was briefer than the demonstrations
accorded any of the six previous po-
tential nominees-Gov.D Dewey, Sen
ator Taft, Gov. Warren, Harold
Stassen, Senator Baldwin and Sen
ator Vandenberg, all men who have
held or now hold elective office.

Mr.. Hallanan in announcing his
switch to Dewey said:

West Virginia, will be in the Repub-

insure a Republican Senate and at
least four additional Republican
governors.

"For that reason and because of
his outstanding qualifications for

Earlier, coalition leaders insisted
that the New York Governor already
had been stopped; that he could
never be nominated. They must, II

Austria Demands Russians
Release Seized Official
BY the Associated Press

VIENNA, June 24.-The Austrian
government yesterday demanded the
release of one of it's officials arrested
by the Russians on charges Of being
spy.
Anton Marek, chief inspector for
the Interior Ministry. was seized
last week. His chief job was in
vestigating kidnapings. The Soviet
news agency Tass said he was
charged with organizing an espion-
age service against the Soviet
Union"
Similar notes demanding Mr..
Marek's release were handed to the
four occupying powers-the United
States, Britain, France and Russia
The commands of each of the four
powers met separately last night to
consider what action they would
take
The note was the strongest ever
directed by the Austrians to any
of the occupying powers. 1t said
Mr.. Marek's arrest was only one
of "a long chain of arrests of Aus
trian civilians by occupational au-
thorities."

Gov Warren, Senator Vanden-
berg and Gen. Douglas Macarthur,
all of whom were officially placed
in nomination last night. They
could, if they wished, select another
nominee, but none is at present in
stght-although they have their
lightning rods up.
| The violence of the struggle be-
tween Gov. Dewey and his oppo-
nents manifested itself in Conven-
ton Hall last night. When Sena-
tor Martin began his nominating
speech for Gov. Dewey, mingled
with the cheers were boos and cat
calls in the galleries. Although
they were few they were something
new in Republican National Con-
vention. The feeling carried over
from the Pennsylvania caucus.
which was held only. an hour or two
before the convention session
opened.
| In that caucus, Senator Martin
told the delegates he had come
out for Gov. Dewey and withdrawn
his own candidacy because he be-
lieved' it was in the best interests
of the Republican Party in Penn
sylvania and of the country.
Senator Martin, declaring that
Gov. D 'wey would be "the next
Presiden. = said he had acted "be-
cause did not want a debacle such
as occurred in 1940"-referring to
Pennsylvania's failure in that year
to have any part in a presidential
nomination, because, Gov. James,
then favorite son, held on to the
delegation until the sixth and last
ballot.
Representative Halleck, in the
caucus of the Indiana delegation,
not only took himself out of the
race for the presidential nomina-
ton, but took the whole delegation,
20, into the Dewey camp with him.
The Taft camp thought 1t had
put over fast one, when 1t per-
suaded a New York delegate, Peter
w. Wynne, to second the nomina-
ton of the Ohio Senator. believing
it meant a break in the solid dele
cation of the Empire State, which
has been favoring its Governor.
Mr.. Wynne of the Bronx had never
lifted his voice in opposition to a
unanimous Endorsement OF Gov.
Dewey by the delegation, until he
reached Philadelphia. Senator Ives
and some of other fellow delegates
pleaded with him not to 60 for
Senator Taft, but he insisted upon
accepting the Ohioan's invitation.
When Mr.. Wynne began to speak
there were a few boos and Chair
man Martin had to rap for order
During the long hours of nomi-
mating speeches and demonstrations
in Convention Hall last night. pri-
vate conferences continued. The
cry of the anti-Dewey coalition has
been that this must be an open
convention, with the delegates not
bound by any secret agreements
made in smoke filled rooms. How
ever, the coalitionists hadS been

Weaving the Suggestion Box ideas into

speech next week.
Our annual picnic is an exhibition of Mr..
Facemeyer's tennis skill. Nobody has ever
beaten Mr.. Facemeyer, and kept his job. As
the days pass Ernest becomes so forlorn that
he is positively gruesome, and begin to hope
that he will beat Mr.. Facemeyer at tennis.
