Policy Group Doubtful
OF Jurisdiction Over
Move, Taft Declares
By J. A. O'LeoY

The Senate Republican Policy
Committee decided today to let the
entire Republican membership in
the Upper House pass on the ques-
tion of whether the party should
ask for the resignation of Secre-
tary of State Acheson.
Chairman Taft of the policy
group emphasized that the COM
mittee took no action on the issue,
but felt the proposal was of Sufh-
|cient Importance to be presented
to the Republican Conference,
composed of all 43 Republican
Senators.
Senator Taft said the confer
ence has been tentatively set fol
Tuesday and will discuss all phases
Of foreign policy as well as the
Acheson matter.
He said it was possible next
weeks conference might produce
an outline of Republican policy
in the present world crisis. but he
thought it would take more than
this one meeting to do that.
Move Sponsored by Ives.
When the policy group met be-
hind closed doors at o'clock this
morning. it had before it reso-
luton drawn up by Senator Ives
of New York declaring that the
country has lost confidence in Mr..
Acheson and that the President
should replace him in the interest
Of national unity.
Senator Taft announced that
the policy group authorized him
to appoint a subcommittee of four
to consider the wording. of the
resolution before it goes to the
full conference.
The subcommittee will consist
of Senators Ives, Millikin of Colo
RADIO. Wherry of Nebraska and
Smith of New Jersey. a
Doubtful of Jurisdiction.
Senator Taft told reporters that
the Policy Committee was not cer-
tain whether it had jurisdiction to
pass judgment on the Ives resolu-
ton, since the committees func-
ton is to act on legislation pend
ing in Congress. Even if they
were certain of their Jurisdiction,
he indicated, they would have left
the decision for the entire con-
ference because of it's Importance.
II want to stress that the con-
ference next weeks is being called
for the general consideration of
foreign policy, which presumably
by that time will include the re-
suits of the Truman-Attlee talks" I"
Senator Taft said.
Senator Wherry said later that
if the Republican conference
adopts a resolution along the lines
of the Ives proposal it would be
sent directly to the President as
a petition. He said there was no
disposition to bring it into the
Senate for action.
The Senate Wrangled today over
whether the resolution offered
yesterday by "a Republicans re-
garding the Truman -Attlee con-
ferences should go to the Foreign
Relations Committee, and wound

That happened during the time that
the late Parker Henderson was may
or the city and Robert Bob" Dillon
was Chief of Police. Duke" Slater,
who at that time was manager Of
the team, secured permission from
the Mayor and the Chief Of Police
to stage the parade. 1t was granted
at once, and the spectacle moved
with clock-like precision. 1t marked
a first for Miami.
The teams played four-game
series - the Cubans won three and
the Giants only one.
COMICAL INCIDENT OF SERIES
Before leaving the second series
with the Cubans, I think I'll tell
you of a somewhat cOmical incl
dent that happened and strange
as it may seem, this particular in
cident happened to my infOrTcer,
BristO Payne, Sr. 1t was during the
second game of the series, Payne
was playing center field. The Cubans
were batting, and a ball was hit
high to right center field. Payne
ran over and was about to catch the
ball, when suddenly, the right field
er yelled 81 got it" Payne stopped
suddenly turned around and bend
over i'm the opposite direction from
which the ball was falling. He hap
pened to be right under the ball mt
that time but did not realize it. The
right fielder attempted to catch the
ball, but missed it, and strange rs
it may seem, the ball hit Payne on
the head and BOUNCED about twenty
feet into the air before falling to the
ground. Payne was not injured seri'
OusIy, but the incident provoked
much laughter from the fans. and 1t
has long since been the cOmical talk
of the old Miami baseball fans and
players.
