Under the seniority rule, Senator
Ives will lose his spot if the Demo-
Gratis take eight places and leave
only five for the Republican mi

if the division we're seven to six.
Senator Ives joined with COM

Republicans controlled Congress, to
prevent certain additional union re-

the Taft-Hartley law. Then he
voted for the amended bill
Senator Thomas. who will be
chairman of the Labor Committee

Senator Thomas said he did that
with the understanding that Sem

was plenty of opposition to the idea
in the Steering Committee.

A 2 per cent sales tax, which
was approved by the House last

ened today to carry on their
fight against Senator Taft OF
Ohio by actively opposing any
Senate leadership proposals they
don't like.
Senator Taft was in the saddle as
chairman of the Republican Policy
Committee. put there by 28-to-14
vote of confidence given him yester-
day by the 42-member Republican
caucus
But some of the IA insurgents who
took the short end of that ballot
served blunt notice today that the
scrapping isn't all over.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,,
defeated by Senator Taft, keynoted
their viewpoint.
Real Movement Predicted.
Il think this is the beginning of
a real movement backed by public
opinion to impel forward motion to
the Republican Party and make It
a really effective part of our two
party system" he said.
Senator Morse of Oregon, who has
called himself and his rebelling COL
leagues liberals" blasted Senator
Taft as "a symbol of reaction and
defeatism for the Republican Party"
Senator Morse predicted that at
least l3 of the IA who voted for
Senator Lodge will continue to
stand united as a general policy in
fighting for a modern, forward
looking program for the Republican
Party"
While there were signs that the
Republican split might spill over
to the Senate floor on ma jor issues,
Senator Ives of New York said he
expects most of the scrapplng to
break out within party meetings
Serves Notice on Party.
Senator Ives, who quarterback d
the insurgent move. said the fact
IA Republicans voted against Sem
ator Taft serves notice to the Re-
publican Party that some of us are
determined that it shall 60 forward
and not backward"
But I fight my battles within
the party and not outside" he
added.
Senator Baldwin of Connecticut

porter: The new guard dies but
never surrenders."
Senator Taft himself discounted
the likelihood of a permanent rift
among the Republicans.
Il don't think this division will
carry down the line" he said.
He promised that under his guild
ance the Policy Committee will
follow a forward looking construc-
tive policy, accepting those things
proposed by the administration that
are sound and opposing those that
we believe threaten American prin-
ciples. liberty or justice"
Senator Margaret Chase Smith of

for Senator Taft because she felt
the other side offered only mega

BY the same 24-to-l4 margin,
Senator Wherry of Nebraska was
chosen floor leader. He defeated
Senator Knowland of California,
the insurgents candidate.

Report on Condition
OF Thomas 10 Decide
Plea for Trial Delay

Judge Henry A. Schweinhaut in
District Court today awaited a WAL
ter Reed Hospital report to deter
mine whether the trial of Repre-
sentative j. Parnell Thomas should
be postponed beyond January IT,
Mr. Thomas was to have gone on
trial next Monday on charges
of conspiracy to defraud the Gov
ernment and filing false claims in
connection with his congressional
Office payroll. His attorney. Will
liam H. Collins, yesterday asked a
continuance because of the illness
of the New Jersey Republican who
headed the House Committee on
Un-American Activities during the
last two years.
Judge Schweinhaut put off the
trial until January II with the un-
derstanding that by Friday he would
be given hospital report on the
condition of Mr.. Thomas
At Congress Opening.
Mr.. Collins said that Mr. Thomas,
after attending the opening of Con-
gresS, went to Walter Reed Hospital
late yesterday.
A letter from DR.. Frank r. Kan
ming of Allendale. N. j., home of Mr.
Thomas, was read in court. 1t
stated Mr.. Thomas suffered stom-
ach hemorrhage December 81 and
earlier last year was seriously i'll for
several weeks after being stricken
while on a cruise to Panama.
Because of the recentness Of this
last hemorrhage." the letter said
"any excessive physical exertion OF
nervous or mental disturbance or
strain is very likely to precipitate
another attack of bleeding and
might very we'll prove fatal"
United States Attorney George
Morris Fay. who opposed the post
ponement, said the presence of Mr.
Thomas in Congress yesterday in
dicated he could attend court
trial.
"Difference in Surroundings"
Judge Schweinhaut remarked
There might be a difference in be-
ing up there in the Capitol IN pleas
ant surroundings and being in court
here"
John R. Fitzpatrick, counsel for
Miss Helen Campbell. former Sec
retary of Mr.. Thomas. told the court
she wanted a speedy trial" Miss
Campbell was indicted on a charge
of conspiracy to defraud the Gov
ernment, whereas Mr.. Thomas was
indicted on two counts charging
conspiracy and filing of false claims.
The Government plans to try the
defendants jointly.
MI. Fitzpatrick explained Miss
Campbell wanted trial as soon as
