Eisenhower Backers
Accuse McGarraghY
OF be|ift|ing Issue

Republican hackers of Gen.
Eisenhower for President fired
another shot at District G. o. P.
Chairman Joseph c. McGarraghy
last night in the continuing con-
troversy over election procedure
for convention delegates.
Robert E. Mclaughlin, presi-
dent of the Eisenhower for -Presi-
dent Club, accused Mr.. McGar-
|raghy of seeking to "belittle into
petty personalities" a subject
which described as a matter of
high principle and practical po-
litical justice. i
Mr.. McLaughlin's statement
came in the form of a reply to
criticism of Chairman McGar-
raghy a day earlier. The chair
man had rebuked the Eisenhower
forces as publicity seekers who
lacked interest in a fair and i'm
partial discussion Of the election
procedures here.
Charges Outlined.
The Eisenhower leader said last
might that his group appealed tt
the Republican State Committee
of the District for better rules
and procedures and better voting
safeguards.
1--WE outlined some rudimentary
changes in present rules anC
asked for a chance to talk over
the matter with those in contro
of the Republican Party mach.
inery here" said Mr.. Mclaughlin
1--WE felt we were speaking espec-
tally for the little Republicans who
always seemed to have beer
scared away from active partici-
patton in party affairs. We are
not only willing but we are anxi.
GUS to lay Gen. Eisenhower
chances Squarely on the line ir
any fair and square election ir
which everyone has a chance tt
vote ef1ect1Vely.
Mr.. Mclaughlin chided Mr.
McGarraghy for saying it ha!
been customary to appoint to thu
Credentials Committee "impar.
tial members of the State Com.
mittee who are avowed partisan'
iof no candidate.
"To read what he says" com.
lmented Mr.. Mclaughlin, "onl
would wonder how such 'impar'
ltial' members of his group. whit
are 'avowed partisans of no can
didate,' could ever get around tt
making up their minds how the!
should vote.
Some Declared for Taft.
"Will Mr.. McGarraghy back VI
his words with deeds? Will HI
boot off his committee. or at leasi
out of controlling positions, eact
and every one of his machine as
sociates who have avowed them.
selves for Mr.. Taft? It is common
knowledge that several have de.
clared for Mr.. Taft. These mem.
bers Of the committee are en-.
titled to support whom the!
please. But Mr.. McGarraghy
should not pirate so .childishly
1about partisanship."
Mr.. Mclaughlin congratulated
the G. o. p. committee on none.

Commissioners Delay
Action on Bullock,
Await Developments

Two District Commissioners made
1t plain today that until District
Bar Association committee makes
its report and Police Inspector
Albert I. Bullock answers the Sen
ate District Crime Committees
QUESTIONABLE, they will take no
action on Inspector Bullock's re-
tirement request.
Commissioner John Russell Young
announced the latest Stand-pat
decision after Police Chief Robert
v. Murray conferred with Com
missioner Young and Commission
er F. Joseph Donohue today. Maj.
Murray gave the Commissioners
his complete file in the Bullock
case.
Today's action was on Inspector
Bullock's second retirement re-
quest. He applied for retirement
first on February II and again on
March 6.
Suit Is Threatened.
The Commissioners decide d
against immediate action despite
a threat from Inspector Bullock's
attorney, Charles E. Ford, that he
may file suit in District Court this
week to try to force the CommiS-
sioners to grant the request.
Inspector Bullock was suspend
ed last October after indictment
on charges of a gambling con-
spiracy along with Charles E. Mel
son and others. The inspector
was acquitted by a directed YER
dict January 20. His suspension
was lifted but he has been on
annual leave and has not returned
to duty. Meanwhile, the Com
missioners have asked a special
bar association committee to study
his case.
In line with Mai. Murray's
reiterated recommendation, Com
missioner Young said he will
await the bar association commit
tees report before taking further
action in the Bullock case.
Seek Grand Jury Minutes.
Commissioner Donohue said the
bar committee has indicated it is
waiting for the grand jury min
utes in the Bullock case before
filing it's report. Judge James r.
Kirkland is to decide tomorrow
whether the committee will get
the minutes.
Commissioner Donohue said he
understood that If the grand jury
minutes are not made available,
the bar group will file an interim
report.
AS for the Crime Committees
uuestionnaire, Commissioner Dono-
hue said he did not believe In
Spector Bullock is in q. good posi-
ton to ask for retirement when
he has not filed out the question
naire. Pending information or
whether the inspector has an
swered the QUESTIONABLE, the
Commissioner added, he does not
think the Commissioners will act
on the retirement request.
The file handed to the Commits
sioners by Maj. Murray included
a letter dated last Friday from
the police chief to Inspector Bul.
lock. In that letter Maj. Murray
said:
II cannot consistently recon-.
mend your retirement until all in.
quiries regarding your conduct
have been disposed Of"
Maj. Murray also called In
spector Bullock's attention to the
Commissioners order directing po.
lice to fill out the crime commit.
tees QUESTIONABLE. He directed
the inspector to comply with the
order. He also noted that In.
spector Bullock had notified hin
on March 5 that he had received
the uueStionnaire.

DR.. Ennis said, "No valid dis
advantage or objection to fourida-

Flouride Critics Answered.
Striking back at the testimony
of witnesses at a recent House
committee hearing, DR.. Enni.
said:
''As with any great advance ir

A fine letter from Mrs. Philip

Rover Girls, gives much of
their travels in the west. Since
their visit liz Colorado and Wy
Oming they have been in the
northwest. Mrs. Jacobs spoke
of the wide open spaces and
the number of rabbits they
saw, already killed on the road.
She thought of the gunners at
home and how they would have
enjoyed the hunting of them,
because they were so numer-
Gus. Yellowstone Park, Glacier
National Park, and Logan Pass
have been enjoyed, but the
highlight of the trip was the
visit to Banff and Lake Louise,
where they saw the beautiful
flowers, the snOwcapped noun
tains and the blue water of the
lakes. Being rural minded,
they appreciated the expanse
of wheat country as they drove
toward the northwest. The
scenic beauty of the coast, as
they drove along the Pacific
Ocean, toward Southern Cali
fOrnia, gave them many thrills
that most visitors enjoy. Com
ing home by the southern route,
they intend to visit New Or
leans and then will be hurry
ing home. Tomorrow begins
the sixth week of their absence
and most any time now they
will be driving in Milford, glad
to be home and receiving the
warm welcome of their friends
