COP. Plank AssaiIed

al Hayes. president Of the In

labor plank in the Republican
Party platform as ''unfriendly to

distorted"
In kilograms to the four major
candidates, sent out before the
nomination Of Gen. Eisenhower,
Mr.. Hayes declared:
'The so-called labor plank IN
the Republican Party's platform
makes it Strikingly clear that the
Republican Party intends to re-
main anti and unfriendly to labor.
THE text Of this plank is q
gross Misrepresentation and dis
ltortion of facts and its false sugar

Mr.. Hayes urged that before ad-
journing the G. o. P. concention
should amend the labor plank and
write In "a straightforward. un-
ambiguous pledge which will as
iSure the people Of genuine
and Self-reSpect."
Unless rewritten. he said, the
plank would amount to an open
admission that the Republican
Party is "the party Of big and
selfish interests"

He had had some warning of

He walked to the edge of the

stepped back, laughing, and stood
there with his hands in his

die down.
He had no speech to make. He
started by telling the people that
he was grateful to them for COM
ing to see him. He congratulated
them on their right, under free
government, to do it. He ex-
cused himself for not having more

CHICAGO, July 12.-Gov. Nc
Keldin Of Maryland was one OF
three men considered by Gen,
Eisenhower for the Republican
vice presidential nomination, it
was learned today.
This came to light when the
Governor. who was selected to
make Gen. Eisenhower's nominat-
ing speech, was asked if he had
been promised any rewards for his
loyalty.
The Governor replied that he
received no promises and expected
nothing in particular. He said
spokesmen for Senator Taft had
promised him a cabinet post such
as Secretary Of the Interior or
Commerce or something like that
for his support. Senator Taft
denied knowing about it.
Gov. McKeldin, whose term as
Governor does not expire until
1855. said his name was considered
along with Senator Nixon of Cali
fornia, who got the nomination,
and Gov. DriScoll of New Jersey
Nice Attended Conference.
Deeley K. Nice, a political con-
|f1dent OF the Governor, repre-
|sented Maryland at a conference
Iof key Eisenhower managers con-
|sidering the question of a run
ming mate for the presidential
nominee, Gov. McKeldin said.
When Gov. McKeldin was asked
by Gen. Eisenhower to make the
principal nominating speech, he
ruled himself out as a vice presi-
Dental possibility, even though he
was receptive to such an offer.
He reasoned that Gen. Eisen-
hover was honoring the East and
South by picking a Maryland Gov
Iernor to make the nominating
speech. He believed the general
might consider the ticket better
balanced by reaching into the Far
West for his running mate.
The Maryland delegation was
to leave Chicago by special train
today, arriving in the Washington
area and Baltimore tomorrow
morning.

Whales Heart Beats
Recorded by Device
Carried on Harpoon
BY the Assoeioted Press

SEATTLE, Aug. 1.-THE heart
beat of a small but maddened
whale thrashing about with two
harpoons in its flanks has been
recorded on an electrocardiogram.
The recording, made from beluga
(white) whale, was similar to
those made from elephants and
humans but more nearly resem-
bled that of an elephant.
The first reported successful
tracing of a whales heart beat on
a chart was announced yesterday
by the men who conducted the
tests in small motorboats on
Alaska's Bristol Bay.
DIR. Robert L. King of Seattle
and DR.. Paul Dudley White of Bos-
ton, both heart experts. believe a
study of the recording may give
information that will help de-
termine what the normal heart
tracing of a large human being
should be.
Water Grounds Wires.
The whales were spotted Wednes-
day from an airplane and the
party waiting ashore took after
them in a cannery tender. From
this the scientists transferred tC
the small boats. Joe Clark, ar
employe of the Alaska Packer:
Association, quickly harpooned &

The harpoon was tied TO an
electrocardiograph in one boat
and contained in its point the
metallic contact normally placed
on the skin in human diagnosis
The whale lurched downward

water and breaking the connec.
