of Tennessee.
Feeling between the Taft and
Eisenhower factions already is. SO
intense that Republicans in general
face this question: Now, no matter
which man gets the nomination,
will the loser and his supporters
work for the winners election in
November? Unless they can work
together, the party will go into
the elections under what may be
an insurmountable handicap.
The Democrates, of course, may
bust wide open before then, too,
but that's to be seen.

WASHINGTONLP-T The Republi-
cans are building up an intra-
party feud and fury which won't
reach a peak till next week. After
that it remains to be seen whether
the party is too badly split to win
the election, no matter who heads
the ticket.
AT this time Sen Tae..'s force
are in almost complete control of
the COP convention machinery,
meaning the Republican National
Committee, which for two days
has been hearing disputes involv-
ing S5 delegate seats claimed by
rival Taft and Eisenhower factions.
With one exception, the commit
tee has voted Overwhelmingly in
favor of seating the pro-Taft dele
gates. Before the weeks end it
will have finished its job and
may have decided to seat all the
other pro-Taft delegates in dispute.
That won't be the last word. The
Eisenhower people can still appeal
to the conventions Credentials
Committee to overturn the work
of the national committee. Failing
there, they can appeal to the
whole convention.
The convention faces the ques-
tion of the Young rights of the
disputed delegations where other
disputed delegations are concerned
For example:
The delegates from Florida and
Georgia are in dispute Can the
disputed Florida delegation of pro-
Taftites vote on the floor for the
seating of the disputed pro-Taft
delegation from Georgia
The final outcome in Chicago,
and its effect on the Republican
party, is of such serious concern
to 23 Republican governors who
have been meeting in Houston
Tex, that yesterday they sent a
telegram to the convention Off

Average Citizen Wilbur !.
PEBBLE At COP Convention

Wilbur PEBBLE, the aver
age American citizen, is attending
the Republican National Conven-
ton. He gives his first impression
in the following letter to his wife
BY HAL BOYLE
CHICAGO UP, = Dear Trellis
Mae,
Well, honey, the Republican Con-
vention menu right now is political
smorgasbord.
1t is a banquet of bitterness,
cynicism, faith, platitudes, princi-
Piles, hopes, ambition, and yearn-
ing. 1t is a reach for politicians to
get the support of the right people,
and a reach for the right people to
settle on the right politician--one
who can lead them to rainbow
victory after 20 years in the politi-
cal dark.
/ guess what everybody would
like most here is a good depend
able ouija board. But i'm politics
there doesn't seem to be any re-
liable compass, and if there is an
ouija board in town the Democrats
are saving it for their convention.
/ can't decide yet whether this
is actually a political convention,
a college homecoming, or a civil
war. 1t is kind of all three rolled
into one-with the candidates maxi
ing faces at each other, and teen
age supporters running back and
forth with rival banners and yell
ing Yeah, team!"
The two biggest questions here
are:
l. Who va for ?"
2. Who d'ya think'il really get
it,"
The convention headquarters are
in the Conrad Hilton Hotel, kind
of civilian Pentagon. 1t is SO huge
there is report one bachelor dele
gate got into an elevator in the
lobby with young lady and by
the time they reached his floor he
felt he had known her so long he
up and proposed marriage.
The hotel is crowded from dawn
until midnight with the two types
of people you find at every con-
vention-those who have some
thing to do, and those who just
come to view.
Hundreds simply mill around
like cattle until their feet get
sore and their eyes glaze like
zombies-picking up campaign lit
erature, hoping for glimpse of
favored candidate f. walking :. I.
walking :. endlessly walking.
This is Coney Island on Saturday
night i. !. a department. store bar

mass of human flesh overhung by
pail of continual noise-organ
music, pealing bells, campaign
songs, chanted slogans, shouted
greetings. -.

Rep. George Bender, Who has all
but lost his voice roofing for Taft
He looked at the churning chaos
in the lobby and whispered hoarse-
ly:
Organized confusion is hard to
find-but here it looks easy"
Somehow out of this chaos the
Republicans will emerge in few
days with a platform and a candi-
date. Behind the razzle-dazzle the
real work is going on.
1t is the candidates I feel sorry
for-Taft, Eisenhower, Warren,
Stassen, Macarthur. To be presi-
dent of the United States is the
toughest job in the world. But to
try to he President must be even
worse.

to use heat produced by atomis
reactors to produce steam for tur-
bines. Plans are afoot for a trial
of an atomic power plant in a
carrier.
The Air Force, meanwhile, is
working at the longer range and
more difficult project of trying to
adapt atomic power to plane pro-
pulsion. The weight and size of
reactors creates greater obstacles
than for similar installation in
submarines or ships. Target date
