Taft and Eisenhower
 Down to Cases In Race For Delegates On July '
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

The Republican convention ar arrangements committee opens a two-day session Monday in Chi cago, with strong support report ed developing for selection of Gen. Douglas Macarthur as con- vention keynoter.
 With only four weeks left, Sen. Taft and Gen. Eisenhower got down to the button-h -holing stage in their drives to win the nomina- ton at the convention in Chicago July 2.
 That meant ardent wooing of 341 delegates who hold the bal ance of power. They are the 130 COP delegates thus far chosen who are committed to other can- didates on the first ballots, and the 211 who are uncommitted or are in dispute.
 Eisenhower took the offensive Sunday = he had a three-hour lunch and chat with Gov. Fine of Pennsylvania. Of the states 70 regular delegates, 20 have been reported favorable to Eisenhower, IS to Taft, and 32 are officially uncommitted.
 After the conference, Fine told reporters he would not influence the views of delegates; that his own mind was still open toward the candidates. He said he found himself generally in agreement with Eisenhower views.
 The governor said a meeting with Taft will be arranged later, at Taft's request.

Troopers Prepare Operation Breakup Koje POW Camps

KOJE ISLAND, Korea, (P) - U. s. paratroopers used flame throwers, tanks and tear gas Mon day in a second dress rehearsal for the imminent breakup of Koje's IT prisoner of war com pounds into smaller units.
 Dispersal of Koje's 8O,OOO riot ous POWs into more manageable 500-man compounds will be Brig. Gen. Haydon L. Boatner's main blow toward gaining uncontested control over the prisoner pens. Present Sockades have POW pop ulations up to 5000.
 Date for the start of Operation Breakup" has not been announced, but it's imminence was under scored by the second straight day of rehearsal and the setting up of lOudSpeakers in front of Com pound 76, which with adjoining compounds TT and 78 probably will be divided first.
 Prisoners in each have dug trenches around the buildings and tents and there was feverish act ivity in the blacksmith shop. AL lied officers speculated that the clinking and hammering of metal meant prisoners were fashioning crude weapons.

2-Year Agreement In Steel Industry
 Appears Imminent

WASHINGTON, (P-An agree ment running perhaps two years to mid-1954 appeared near Mon day in the steel strike.
 Negotiators representing the in dustry and striking CIO Steel workers Union were reported on the verge of compromise that would give the workers boost in wages and other benefits worth about g cents an hour per man.
 A source close to the peace talks in the White House said union president Philip Murray probably will get some form of the union shop, an arrangement under which all the industry workers would have to pay union dues.
 This is the fifth straight day of negotiations which John R. Steel man, assistant to President Tru- man, described as earnest bar gaining" It looked like the parties were determined to reach an ag- reement.
 An agreement on the basis of 22-cent package would probably give the workers a 16-cent hourly boost in earnings now averaging close to S2 an hour. The additional five or six cents would be in i'm proved vacation, shift and holiday arrangements.

 Respectfully request your help in releasing boat to Nome. Nome has been without a boat for seven months. Supplies of staple groceries and other es- sentials running out.

Truman Asks Senate Keep Hands Off Steel Situation Pending Near Settlement

WASHINGTON, (P)-PreSident Truman told the Senate today that negotiations may be on the verge of settling the steel strike. He asked that the lawmakers take no action which might upset the delicate negotiations.
 In response to his plea, the Sen ate put off until tomorrow any further consideration of various proposals for legislative action re- lated to the steel dispute.
 Truman said there was "at least reasonable hope" for set clement of the strike, by direct negotiation. But any Senate ac- tion, he said, "could so alter the situation or the attitudes of the parties in this case so as to cause breakdown in their negotia- tions."

Supreme Court To Decided Legality of School Segregation

WASHINGTON, P) - T h e Supreme Court Monday agreed to say whether segregation of white and negro children in elementary public schools should be outlawed.
 The court granted hearings on two appeals by negro parents who claim segregation is a "stigmatiz- ing badge of inferiority" which has a bad effect upon their chil- dren. They contend segregation therefore violates the constitution al guarantee of equal protection of the laws.
 The appeals contest the validity of segregation only in schools in Topeka, Kas., and Clarendon County, S. C. However, the out come of the cases will affect public school segregation gener- ally.
 Gov James F. Byrnes, of South Carolina, has said that if his state loses it's fight in the courts to maintain segregation, the public school systems there will be abandoned.
 Other southern states - notably Georgia, Virginia and Alabama have taken steps which could lead to abolition of the public school system, in favor of privately-op- erated claSSrOOmS.

 After long and stormy debate, new rules were adopted on party procedure. The basis was provi- sion for election of leaders from the precinct to the top levels.
 A strong and united Fourth Division Fairbanks) delegation of Is was credited with steadying the rocking party boat.
