The Republican State Committee
last Friday night fixed Wednesday,

ilege Of nominating three dele

have to be selected by the conven-
tiOn after the caucuses have met.
Corruption Is Theme
Aside from the Taft Eisenhower
Warren Macarthur interest at the
meeting the principal theme was
raised by Clair J. Killoran, chair
man of the Republican State Com
mittee.
Mr.. Killoran said, whatever our
sentiments and thoughts are about
candidates and nominations we are
agreed on one all-important truth.
The nation. Republicans and Dem
ocrats alike, is outraged at corrup-
ton.
Foreign policy, taxes, welfare,
Communism, defense, civil rights
all of these things are issues which
will be debated as the campaign
moves into the autumn climax.
"Rut corruption is not an issue
1t is a terrible fact, an election

Man, 78, Found Dead
On Arlington Highway

A 78-year-old man, believed to
have been struck by a hit-and-run
motorist, was found dead in the
center of Arlington boulevard early
today.
He was Joseph Henry Roberts,
Of S South Garfield street, Arling-
ton.
Arlington police said the body
was discovered about 1890 a. M,
by Army Pvt. Richard S. West
bury, 20, who was returning to
his quarters at Arlington Hall Sta
ton from a District theater. The
soldier and his passengers told
police the body looked like a pile
of rags as they approached it.
Pvt. WeStbury said he straddled
the object and felt a bump as the
car passed over it, then stopped
his car and returned to investi-
gate.
Police said the man was lying
in the center of the four-lane
highway near Irving street, about
two blocks from his home. They
said they are investigating the
possibility that he was struck
down by hit-and-run motorist
but have not completely rejected
the theory that he suffered a
stroke or heart attack as he
crossed the busy highway.
Pvt. Westbury was issued sum-
mons as material witness in
the case pending further investi-
cation.
