Vote On Georgia Delegates Seen As Decisive Factor
By JACK BELL

JUN VEN HUN HALL, CnlcaSO, (P)-Backers of Sen. Taft, in a surprise strategy move Wednes- day yielded 13 contested Louis jana votes in the Republican na- tional convention to Gen. Eisen- hover.
 Tn a maneuver interpreted as an effort to gain support for the Taft side in showdown floor battle on disputed delegates, Taft packers on the credentials com mittee initiated and supported the Louisiana move.
 Backers of Eisenhower made it clear quickly and emphatically that they had made no deal with the Taft people.
 Thomas E. Coleman, floor man. ager for Taft, also said there was no deal with the Eisenhower forces on the contested delegates.
 The move by Taft forces in the Louisiana case today was regard ed as indicating that the Ohio senator's leaders have come to the conclusion their drive for the nomination would be damaged more by a convention defeat on the contest issue than by the loss of a few southern delegates.
 There have been reports that the credentials group might try to work out a new compromise of the Texas fight with an even split of 19 votes each for Eisenhower and Taft.
 Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge, Eisen- hower's campaign managers at titude seemed to indicate that he would not accept any such move. Some Taft leader felt that if the Eisenhower group took this atti- tude, it might find many dele gates unsympathetic to a contin- uation of the fight.
 In it's major action Tuesday, the group voted 30 to 21 to seat a 17-member pro-Taft group from Georgia. And it is on minority report, urging the seating of pro-Eeisenhower Georgia delega- ton, that the floor fight will come.
 The vote on Georgia seemed likely to be the showdown, not only on settling the contests but also influencing delegates toward the nomination of either Eisen- hover or Taft.
 The delegate tabulation now stands at:
 Taft-527, Eisenhower - 452, uncommitted-119, others-1O8.

Mark Progress

Definite indications of the progress
that has been made in the building
of the Ground Observer corps were
seen March / and 2 when the filter
centers of Helena, Boise, Billings
and Casper had joint and co-ordi-
mated open house celebrations
Although the residents of Helena
were informed in advance that a
flight of BIOS would be dropping
leaflets March l, it was with mixed
emotions that they watched the
bombers sweep over their homes.
The B-29s dropped 10000 leaflets on
which was printed ''This could have
been bomb"
On March 2, the Helena filter CEN
ter held open house. A Civil Air
patrol plane equipped with loud
speaker flew over the city inviting
people to attend the open house.
Hundreds saw the Filter Center and
approximately two hundred re-
manned to watch Gov. John w. Bon
ner present wings to approximately
20 volunteers.
The filter center is the link be-
tween the Ground Observer posts
first contact with aircrafD and the
Air Force Control Center where the.
decision to dispatch jets for inter-
ception of unidentified aircraft IS
made.
The filter center is located in q
city since 1000 to 1900 volunteers
are required to operate the Center
on 24-hour basis. A plotting table
with detailed map of the area serv-
iced by the center and telephone
lines are the essential equipment.
When a ground observer post spots
an aircraft he telephones the in
formation to the filter center. Reports
from three or four posts on the same
aircraft enable the Center to estab-
ish track and to relay the informal
ton to the Air Force Center for
evaluation.
AS you can see, cooperation be-
tween three widely separated groups
is necessary to protect the safety OF
all. Do your share. Contact your
local Civil Defense office and back
up your neighbors in the filter cen
tiers by volunteering for training
with your local Ground Observer
post. For additional information
