Vondenberg Reported
AIoof in Toft-Dewey Fight
BY the Associated Press >

Friends of Senator Taft, Repub-
lican, Of Ohio said today that Sena-
tor Vandenberg, Republican, of
Michigan has personally assured the
Ohioan he is remaining aloof in the
rivalry between Senator Taft and
Gov. Dewey for the Republican
presidential nomination.
Neither Senator Vandenberg nor
Senator Taft would comment, but
those who insisted they know said
the exchange resulted from New
York Times report Wednesday that
Senator Vandenberg had told friends
he would work smoothly as a team
with Gov. Dewey as President and
John Foster Dulles, Dewey adviser,
as Secretary of State.
Senator Vandenberg, who has said
he does not want the Republican
nomination himself, has refused
comment on the announced candi-
dates. But he is reported to have
discussed the Times dispatch with
Senator Taft because the Ohioan's
hackers thought it indicated Van-
denberg support for Gov. Dewey.
The Taft people quoted the
Michigan Senator as having told
Senator Taft that all talk about
Senator Taft's being a weak candi-
date was ridiculous, and further
that any Republican nominated at
Philadelphia next week will be a
certain winner.

Arabian Steel Pipe
Decision Is Held Up
BY the Associated Press

The Government today put OF
until September a decision on
whether to let 5000 tons Of pipe 90
to Saudi Arabia for construction Of
a 1,loo-mile pipeline from ell fields
there to the Mediterranean.
No official explanation was given.
but Congress members have pro-
tested that a pipe shortage here at
home Is delaying oil and irrigation
projects. In diplomatic quarters,
there was conjecture that the pres.
ent unsettled conditions in the
Middle East influenced the decision
to wait a while before deciding
whether the pipe should be shipped.
The Trans Arabian Pipeline Co..
an American-owned concern, had
asked for export licenses for the
pipe.
The Commerce Department an
nounced that action on the applica-
ton has been deferred until the first
week in September, At the same
time. 1t announced it has granted
the Anglo Iranian Oil Co. licenses
to export 1850 tons of heavy OIL
line pipe to construct a pipeline in
Iran. }..st
The line Is to extend 48 miles from
the oil field at Agha Jari to the
Port of Bandar Maschur. on the
Persian Gulf, the department said,
adding that the line will be COM
pleted by June, l949.

said ne faVors the nomintion Of
Speaker Martin. He is one of those
who believes the convention Is
headed for a long. hard struggle be-
tween Gov. Dewey and Senator Taft
and that a compromise candidate
candidate may become necessary.
Another compromise candidate,
Senator Bricker of Ohio, is predicted
by others. They declare that, If
Senator Taft should find it impos-
sible to win the nomination after
considerable balloting, Senator
Bricker's name will be advanced and
many of the delegates will fall in
behind him.
One line OF argument has it that
the Taft delegates would be favor
able to Senator Bricker-who will
place Senator Taft in nomination
next week-and that the Dewey
supporters would have reason to
favor Senator Bricker, who with
drew in 1914 in favor of Gov. Dewey
and was nominated for vice presi-
dent.

result Of the Van Horn suit.
In his afiidavit, Senator Bridges
mentioned nine different trustee
resolutions to activate the welfare
fund where Mr.. Van Horn had voted
negatively. Each resolution was SUPP
ported by the Senator and by Mr..
Lewis.
Plan Subject to Change.
Senator Bridges pointed out that
his plan for payment of the sl00
pensions was subject to change II
experience proved they could not
be supported by the fund, but that
he thought the most important
thing was to activate the payments.
The welfare fund has been tied up
in controversy for nearly year.
Attached to the Bridges resolution
were the minutes of recent trustee
board meetings, which the Senator
said showed that he and Mr.. Lewis
had made repeated attempts to set
the fund in motion, but had been
prevented from doing so by Mr.. Van
Horn. <v
On the subject Of miner eligibility
for pensions, the most important one
in the controversy, Senator Bridges
said 1t would be impossible to set
down in advance broad general. rules
of eligibility. He said individual
cases should be haadled by the truss
tees as they arise. =.

.Taft-Stassen Camps
Reported in Par|ey;
Deal Rumors Arise
By the Associoted Press

PHILADELPHIA. June 16.-The
possibility of a deal bringing sup
porters of Senator Taft of Ohio and
Harold E. stassen together in Re-
publican presidential balloting arose
today out of pre-convention confer
ences.
Aides Of Senator Taft and Mr.
Stassen were reported meeting Sc
cretly In an effort to work out an
agreement by which the former
Minnesota Governor might consent
to help the Ohioan's bid for top spot
on the Republican ticket. : ~
These who sat In said these meet-
itgs had no Official sanction from
the candidates themselves, who were
reported prepared to deny that they
are engaged in such maneuvers.
Many Conditions Made.
The informal conferences were de-
scribed by both Taft and Stassen
hackers as being fenced In with con-
ditions that easily might make any
agreement impossible.
AS outlined to . reporter, these

been explored thoroughly In early

lime Mr.. Stassen might decide he
has lost his own chance for the
nomination.
Problem Of Timing.
3. The timing nust-be such that
It not only would head OF any pos

Sow. Dewey of New York, but also
would squeeze out potential dark
horses such as Speaker Martin.
These obstacles were not regarded
as insurmountable by some of those

|CoIIaday Group Wins
Fight for Recognition
AtG. 0.P. Convention
By J. A. o'LeoY
Stur Stuff Cogrsspendent

PHILADELPHIA, June 18.-The
organization headed by Edward r.
Colladay and James G. Wilkes ap-
peared destined today to continue
as the recognized District OF Colum-
bia branch of the Republican Party.
1t won the first and most im-
portant round easily when the Re-
publican National Committee threw
out the case of the contesting dele
CATION late yesterday.
This puts the uninstructed dele
CATION led by Mr.. Colladay on the
temporary roll of the convention,
where it is expected to remain.
The losers, led by Paul J. Foley,
a patent attorney, have one more
chance-an appeal to the Creden-
tials Committee, which will be set
up when the convention opens Mon
day. The speed with which the
National Committee upheld the long
established Colladay- Wilkes group
left little doubt, however, that the
fight is over.
Committee Acts Quickly.
The National Committee did not
wait to hear the defense Of the in
cumbent leaders. As soon as the
position of the Foley group had been
outlined in an open hearing N the
Bellevue-Stratford Hotel, Werner
Schroeder, Republican national COM
mitteeman from Illinois, moved that
the contest be dismissed for lack OF
q prima facie case. The voice vote
was decisive. Only few scattered
noes" were heard.
Joseph C. McGarraghy, vice
chairman of the Republican State
Central Committee for the District
was ready to take the floor to de-
fend the legality Of the procedure
followed in electing the Colladay-
Wilkes delegation, but the National
Committee decided no defense was
necessary. The Districts case was
the only one of five contests which
the committee decided Immediately
without going into closed session.
The District has three votes in
the Republican convention, but its
delegates will not decide until early
next week who will get them. In
the past, the local delegation has
not been governed by the unit rule
and may split its votes.
The three delegates who were rec
ognized by yesterdays decision are
Mr. Colladay, Mrs. William S. Gull
bertson and George A. Parker.
Hebert Objects to Move.
Their alternates are Clarence B.
Hewes, Mrs. Elizabeth E. Bolts and
Jesse H. Mitchell. When Mr..
Schroeder made the motion to dis
miss the claims OF the Foley group,
former Senator Hebert of Rhode
Island objected on the ground the
motion was out of order. inasmuch
as MI. Willig still had time reserved
for rebuttal. The National Commit
tee decided to let Mr.. Willig use
the balance of his time for argu-
ment, but 1t still dismissed the COM
plant.
In a caucus last night, the Dis
trict delegation agreed unanimously
on the following text OF the plank
they will ask the convention to
adopt:
I'VE favor granting to the District
OF Columbia voting representation
in the Congress and in the Electoral
College"
Mrs. Culbertson and Mr.. Parker
VIII present the plank today, be-
cause they have been assigned as

and efficiency but only in increasing
their payroll whenever possible.
The Kansan, on behalf OF the
committee, presented figures which.
he said, "nullified the claim" that
the Governments sharp rise in en-
.ployment since 1910 is the result OF
extra functions and responsibilities
that the Government has under
taken.
Committee investigation shows
that only II per cent of the 853,753
additional employees working in
agencies claiming new functions
actually are performing new duties,
Mr.. Rees said. The other SO per
cent are performing duties that were
being done prior to 1910, he added.
