|EisenloWer-Taft
Seemed Headed
For COP Deadlock,
BY JACK BELL

CHICAGO R-With three months
Of the campaign to 60. Sen. Rob-
ert A. Taft Of Ohio and Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower appear to
be heading toward a possible dead
lock at the Republican presidential
nomination convention here in Ju-
".
Although fewer than one-fourth
Of the delegates have been chosen,
a recent trend toward splitting
state support between the two can
didates indicates they are running
the sort Of race that may tie the
Republican National Convention in
to knots.
Taft apparently win get a lift
BY collecting most Of Illinois so
delegates in Tuesdays primary. If
he wins the preferential (popular)
contest despite q write in cam
paign for Eisenhower, there will
be no doubt of his collecting the
states additional 10 nominating
votes at an April IS convention.
What he gets In Illinois and in
q state convention Saturday in
Kentucky could put Taft near the
200 mark In delegates by the
weeks end.
Eisenhower apparently still will
be below the 100 mark, although
he seems likely to get the lion S
share of Kansas 20 in a Thursday
convention and an uncertain NUM-
Der in Kentucky.
Taft might maintain his delegate
lead for some time - especially
since he probably viii get most of
Ohio's S.. But Eisenhower has the
promise of most Of New York's 96
votes in reserve and he probably
will pick up most Of New Jerseys
3S in an April is primary. Taft's
name remains on the ballot there
despite his attempt to withdraw ii.
Some recent state convention
balloting has indicated republican
politicians believe they have a
horse race on their hands and
some Of them don't want to get
their bets down too early.
Michigan's election of 46-vote
delegation last week was accom-
plished on d basis permitting the
majority Of the group to jump fast
toward any bandwagon that gets
rolling at the national convention.

and six said they back Taft. There
were such conflicting claims about
the learnings Of the unpledged
group 1t seems safe to say nobody
now knows with any finality where
their votes win co.

their Midwestern strength last
week when they caught the Taft

Senate May Take Plenty
OF Time On McCranery
Nomination Approval

WASHINGTON H-- Some Sem
ators predicted privately today
that it may be weeks before James
r. McGranery, President Tru-
mans newly : appointed attorney
general, gets official Senate con-
frmation.
Chairman McCaran ID. New. J
called the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee into closed door session
to decide how it win handle the
nomination.
Sen. Watkins (R.-Utah.), one Of
the commiitee's Is members, said
In advance he wants q full and
complete investigation that may
involve long questioning Of Me-
Creamery, now a federal Judge in
Philadelphia and q former House
member and top Justice Depart
ment official.
ITS our obligation to check and
examine his qualificxtinos, Wat
kins said, particularly his con.
nections with tho notorious Amer
asia ease"
Chairman McCarran, one of
those who predicted confirmation
may be delayed. already has asked
to see . 'sfuil FBI check on Nc
Creamery that has been brought up
to date.
Although .FBI reports on govern.
Inent officials and employees nor
rnally are denied congressional
committees. an exception has been
made for the Senate Judiciary
Committee chairman.
For years, he alone has been
able TO examine FBI reports on
judges, u. S. attorneys, marshals
and the attorneys general appoint
ed by the President.
Under customary courtesy the
two Pennsylvania Senators, Duff
and Martin, both Republicans,
have been asked to comment on
the nominee from their state. They
are allowed 10 days for this.
Duff told q reporter he would
not oppose McGranery's appoint
ment. He did not expand On his
comment except to say Il know
him very we'll" Martin was not
Immediately reached for comment.
McCarran said the full commit
tee win decide whether McGranery
win be asked 70 appear in person
for questioning, but he said this
was probable.
President Truman announced Sc
lection Of McGranery at the same
time he announced the sudden res
ignation Of j. Howard McGrath as
attorney general, last Thursday.

fired Newbold Morris, independent

before as an assistant attorney
