To Sullivan Brothers
BY the Assoeiofed Press

There's a living memorial on the
Capitol grounds to the five Sulli-
van brothers of Waterloo, Iowa,
who gave their lives together in
defense of their country.
Final tribute to the sailors was
paid yesterday, a few months short
of a decade after they were lost
at sea when the cruiser Juneau
was sunk by the Japanese of
Guadacanal in World War II.
While a cluster of Navy admirals
stood at attention, five purple
Towering crabapple trees were
dedicated in memory Of the
brothers.
The trees are planted in a circle
on the northeast grounds of the
Capitol. between the Senate wing
and the Supreme Court. The boys
parents. Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas F.
Sullivan of Waterloo, sat with the
Iowa congressional delegation and
other friends as Senator Gillette,
Democrat, of Iowa described how
the sons went down with their
ship in a furious naval battle.

Gov. McKeldin of Maryland
said last night it looks as though
negotiations will get under way
toward welding three pivotal State
delegations into a harmony bloc
with a highly effective voice in
selecting the Republican presiden-
tial nominee.
Earlier the Republican Governor
had confirmed reports that he
had been approached about set
ting up Pennsylvania Maryland
Michigan combine designed to de-
eide who gets the nomination.
He said at Baltimore the ap-
proach was made by an emiSsary
ostensibly from Gov. John S. Fine
of Pennsylvania. Gov. McKeldin
added:
Il. of course. have no way of
knowing whether the person who
approached me had authority from
Cow Fine. Perhaps the same per-
son still has to make contact with
Gov. Fine.
"The initiative in this matter
certainly is not mine and if Gov
Fine is not interested that ends it.
| In Harrisburg, Gov. Fine said
he hasn't proposed any get-togeth-
er of delegates from the three
States.
McKeldin Appears on TV.
Gov. McKeldin appeared on q
CHS television program last night
Asked if he could say that "a deal
was certainly cooking" to weld the
three delegations into a harmony
bloc, he replied:
That's what understand. I've
been in negotiation with some
people and they've been in nego-
tiation with me. It looks as
though we're going to begin to
talk"
| Gov. McKeldin said he thought
the uncommitted delegates from
the three States would be mighty
effective" in selecting the party's
nominee.
His interrogation, Douglas Ed
wards, CHS commentator, had
previously spoken Of 80 uncommit-
ted delegates-24 from Maryland
33 from Michigan and 80 from
Pennsylvania.
Questioned about Gov. Fines
statement that Gov. Fine had not
proposed the three-State combine,
the Maryland Governor said:
TITS not what you say in this
business. it's what you didn't say.

Virginia Delegates
Call on Eisenhower;
See Taft Lead Cut
By Alex R. Preston
Stor Stoff Correspondent

NEW YORK, June 13.-Gen.
Eisenhower appeared today to
have made definite inroads into
Virginia's Taft-controlled delega-
ton to the Republican National
Convention.
Until the States delegates en-
tered the generals home at Co.
lumbia University late yesterday
afternoon. the consensus was that
he was in line for only one of
Virginia's % votes.
But when they came out, Wis
ibly impressed, some of the Old
Dominions G. o. P. leaders were
willing to be quoted on estimates
which ranged all the way up to
10 possible delegates for Eisen-
hover.
Robert S. Woods of Pearisburg,
a delegate te-at-large who was re-
placed as State G. o. P. chairman
at the convention in Roanoke
May 81. said after the Eisenhower
visit:
MY first leaning was toward
Senator Taft. I came up here
uncommitted. My position hasn't
changed. But it would be a lot
easier to lean to Eisenhower now."
Ride in Special Car.
A party of about Is made the
trip in special train car from
Washington.
Mr.. Woods gave the highest es-
innate. He predicted that Is
would vote for Senator Taft and
10 for Gen. Eisenhower.
Mr.. Woods said Fred McWain,
G. o. P. State treasurer from
Lynchburg. estimated an 18-to-5
margin, while State Senator Ted
Dalton of Radford. estimated al
17-to-6 margin, both in favor of
Senator Taft.
The only avowed Eisenhower
delegate, Bentley Hite of Chris
tiansburg, was even more conserv-
ative than Mr. Woods. He said
he believed Senator Taft would
receive Is and Gen. Eisenhower
8 of the votes.
Gen. Eisenhower promised a
Federal housekeeping if he isl
sent to the White House, two of
the Virginia delegates said.
Oren r. Lewis of Arlington, an
acknowledged Taft supporter. felt
chat the Eisenhower visit would
have no effect on the delegates.
FranknesS Hailed.
HE was frank but there were
some questions he didn't know the
answers to-" Mr.. Lewis said. "Un-i
der the circumstances, he did very
we'll"
Gen. Eisenhower was presented
a Smithfield ham by one Of the
delegates, Walter E. Huffman of
Norfolk.
Earlier, while chatting with the
delegates. Gen. Eisenhower said
his mother was born in, Virginia.
Further questioning revealed his
mother was the former Miss Ida
Elizabeth Stover of Mount Sidney,
in the Shenandoah Valley.

proved legislation which would
provide temporary two-year civil

The average increase that would
result from the bill would be $2O3,
civil service retirement officials
said
The increases would remain in
effect until June 80, 1854. They
would lapse at that time, however
unless Congress voted additional
funds to pay for the cost of the
increases for the previous year.
Until that time, the cost of the
increased pensions would come
out OF present funds in the civil
service retirement system.

would cancel the annuity boosts

Pennsylvania. both members of
the Senate Civil Service Commit
tee. Senator Smathers was chair
man of the subcommittee which
handled the bill.

While the measure fell short of
expectations of employe groups, it
represents compromise with the
attitude of the Civil Service Com
mission, which has opposed an

The bill does not increase the
pensions of widows or orphans,
nor does it provide for increasing

the various 1858 agency money
bills.
1t doesn't seem likely that final
action can be achieved on all the
money bills by July /. This means
that an emergency resolution will
have to be approved by Congress,
if most Federal workers are to re-
ceive their pay when due next
month.
In this respect. the situation
does seem little brighter than
it did during the recent pay
crisis. A hot controversy over the
steel seizure case prevented swift

COMMUNICATION
To the Nome Nugget:

All commercial "bush" and pri- vate airplane operators and pilots within Alaska who encounter any difficulty in the purchase of avi- ation gasoline due to the present curtailment of aviation gasoline usage by the Petroleum Defense Administrator are advised to con- tact Tony Schwamm, Alaska dir ector of aviation, Anchorage, AL aska, immediately.
 MT. Schwamm is acting as CO., ordinator for the Alaska aircraft owners and pilots in meeting gas oline shortage problems.
 Many aircraft owners may not have actually flown much during the month of March, 1852, the period on which the gasoline ra- tioning is based. This may be be- cause of the winter weather con- ditionS or for the reason that this period of normally unsettled weather is used for engine or airplane overhaul in preparation for spring and summer flying.
 The Alaska Department of Avi- ation will do everything possible to assist all aircraft owners in obtaining sufficient gasoline to carry on the normal flight oper- ation if the details of the particu- lar case are made known to the Department of Aviation.
