unoficially it's been here for a week
that official high of 81 degrees as
reported by Ray Burkholder, official
observer for the Bluffton- Pandora
district cracked record for June 16
which stood ever since 1913 when
the thermometer went to a top of
"a degrees {. and speaking of hot
weather, there was Sundays high
of 80 which isn't exactly cool, either
but it's an i'll wind that blows
no good, and while Bluffton resi-
dents sweltered in the heat made all
the more uncomfortable by sticky
humidity, farmers said corn was
making record progress-and Tues
days shower added the final touch
for perfect growing weather-an
ideal background for the advent of

Eisenhower Kin Got
Convention Tickets
From a Taft Man

CHICAGO. July Seen. Eisen-
hower's brother Earl and Mrs
Eisenhower's sister and brother
in-law, Col. and Mrs. Gordon
Moore. sat practically unnoticed
in the gallery of the big-name-
packed Convention Hall yesterday
That they were there at all was
a lucky break, Mrs. Moore said.
She and her husband arrived in
town Sunday night to find that
there were no tickets to be had to
the convention. Gen. EiSen-
hower's 10 personal tickets allotted
to each candidate had been used
up and there seemed to be no
Eisenhower pool" of tickets, ac-
cording to the complaint voiced
by Gen. Eisenhower's supporters
all day yesterday.
The Moores were wondering
what they would do about it while
standing in the Palmer House
lobby talking to friends when they
heard q man wearing a Taft
button announce that he had too
many tickets. Did anybody want
some? The Moores did. a friend
told the Taft stranger, and so

Hartman Takes Campaign
10 Indiana Delegation
BY the Assoeioted Press

INDIANAPOLIS, July 8.-Averel]
Hartman yesterday carried his
campaign for the Democratic
presidential nomination to the
Indiana delegation. The group
leans heavily toward Gov. Adlai
E. Stevenson Of Illinois but might
give MIR. Hartman some votes If
Gov. Stevenson doesn't run.
Mr.. Hartman, director of the
Mutual Security Agency in charge
|of foreign aid. declined to estimate
ANY progress made in soliciting
support from Indianas 3O-mem-
Der. 26-vote group. However, he
told newsmen he would have a

when the Democratic convention
begins in Chicago July 81.
He lunched with Gov. Henry F.
|Schricker, the party nominee for
the United States Senate seat de-
Tended by Republican Senator
Jenner, and talked with Paul
Butler, South Bend lawyer re-
Gently named as Indiana's new
national committeeman. Both

appears inconceivable here. But
pessimists think he and Gen. Els
enhower will finish deadheat and
a last-minute outsider, not as good
as Gen. Eisenhower but not as bad
as Senator Taft will emerge.
AS for the Democratic nomina-
tion. many think President Tru-
man may run at the last minute
and the Democrats have a chance
to win.
There is considerable surprise
that his divorce may have dimin-
ished the chances of Gov. Adlai
Stevenson as a candidate. In
France divorces, even mistresses,
have never interfered in politics to
any extent.
Meanwhile, nobody here is bet
ting on the outcome in Chicago,
though the optimists still see Gen.
Eisenhower the winner.

Eisenhower Will Win;
Many Dubious Of Taft.
By Paul GhoIi
Foreign Correspondent Of The Ssur and
the chicooo Doilv Nev1.


PARIS, July 8.-The first flicker
|of interest among average French
men in who will next occupy the
White House is discernible as the
Republicans convene in Chicago.
It's only a flicker because it's
practically impossible for a
Frenchman to understand how
important and indicative of pub
lie opinion the two Chicago con-
ventions will be.
French correspondents stationed
in the United States have been
trying for weeks to explain the
Importance not only nationally
but internationally of the Novem-
Der elections in America. But four
months is a long time to the
French who start getting excited
only a few days before their own
elections. Their own big parties
Socialists, Popular Republican and
Gaullist-meet annually or more
often il a big domestic issue so
requires. The public takes little
or no interest in the proceedings.
Hardly Aware of Fight.
Anyway. the French masses are
hardly awake to the big fight
ahead in Chicago. They've taken
it for granted that Gen. Eisen-
hover would be the Republican
Party choice and his victory in
November overwhelming.
The educated F'renchman, more
aware Of the political turn of
events. is much more concerned.
To him no worse catastrophe could
befall Europe today than the elec-
ton OF Senator Taft.
He thinks Of Senator Taft as
a second-rate career politician,
unappealing, morally
dull and pompous. who has built
up his political reputation on
criticism Of the Democratic Gov
"help to Europe" policy.
He does not believe that Senator
Taft would reduce financial help
to Europe Immediately because of
commitments made. He is how
ever 100 per cent convinced that
Senator Taft's first gesture if
elected would be to recall some
of the already small American
forces in Europe and thus open
the doors wide to Russian ag-
greSSion.
Favor Ground Forces.
Senator Taft's well-known opin-
ion, that air supremacy sufficient
to cover the United States security
zone should be the Pentagon tar
get, not large ground forces, is
what has most harmed the Sena-
tors reputation here. The French
are certain that even the strongest
aviation is no protection for inva-
sion by overwhelming ground
forces.
The French have religious be-
lief In the wartime role of ground
men and little confidence in air
warfare.

heard the roll call this afternoon
and your husband won?" she was
asked.
Every happy, naturally" she
smiled prettily. VERY encourag-

What did she plan to do this
evening? II hope to rest tonight,
she said. you're not going to the
convention tonight, then?" "I will
go to the convention sooner or
later" replied Mamie without ap-
parent implication, "but not to-
night"
If the general wins the nomina-
ton. will she do any campaigning
with him?
II 60 every place I can with
him." she answered quickly and
firmly. II have followed him for

Was this assignment in Chicago
a hard one for her? mo, I don't
think so; it's tremendously inter-
esting," said Mamie, adding: II
love to see all these people,"
Whereupon she revealed that after
shaking 5000 hands Monday aft
ernoon, her hand wasn't a bit sore.

Eisenhower Urges
Kicking Democrats
Back About 20 Years
BY HE Assoeiated Press

CHICAGO, July 8. Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower appealed
today for Republican harmony
and for Kicking the Democrats
so far November that it'll take
them about 20 years to get back. +"
Gen. Eisenhower, top con-
tender for the COP presidential
nomination, came up with the
unity appeal and the slug-the-
Democrats remarks at a break
fast with the 26-vote Missouri del
egation to the party's national
convention.
He met with the group after
yesterdays dramatic preliminary
victory Of his forces over those
Of Senator Taft at the opening
session of the convention.
Caution Tempers Elation.
The Eisenhower camp, however.
was tempering elation with eau
ton in continuing to predict an
early ballot nomination of the
general.
At today's meeting with the
Missouri delegation, which backed
him % to over Senator Taft in
yesterdays dispute over seating
delegates, Gen. Eisenhower told
the group the Republicans must
close ranks after the convention
and concentrate on defeating the
Democrats in November.
Later, Alabama delegates chatted
with Gen. Eisenhower for 80 min
uteS but remained Steadfast in
their 9-4 preference for Senator
Taft.
At another conference with the
18 vote Nebraska delegation
largely pro-Taft group-Gen.
Eisenhower said he believes the
Republicans are going to have a.
'hard job whipping the Democrats
In November"
Gen. Eisenhower himself left
the victory claims to his campaign
manager, Senator Lodge of Mas
sachusetts, who declared the gen.
eral will be nominated on about
the third ballot. The voting may
start tomorrow night.
Eisenhower Halls News.
Gen. Eisenhower called the pre-
liminary triumph he scored
"heartening news" to himself and
millions Of Americans.
That triumph came when the
convention. by a vote of 658 to
548, went along with Gen. EiSen-
hover on the issue of seating
contested delegations. Then it
adpoted by acclamation a new
rule which bars 68 contested del
egates-most of them pro-Taft-I
until the disputes over seating
them have been settled.
The Eisenhower people voiced
confidence that in the long run
they will win out in the contests.
Gen. Eisenhower watched the
convention session on televisionE
at his Blackstone Hotel headquar-
ters. When it was over, he called
a news conference and read al
statement which said in part:
'"Today's action is proof
that this convention belongs to
the delegates and to the people
who elected them. -
Nov that this test has, been
met, the people will look to the
convention with trust and to our
party with growing confidence
that. unitedly, it will lead the
country to a rebirth of political |
honesty, courage and vision.
"Today'S action means that, on
next November 4, the Republican
Party will deserve to win"

Convention SideIiehts
By the Assoeioisd Press

CHICAGO. July 8.-The man
from Abilene-Gen. Eisenhower
has said all along he wanted this
to be a peoples convention.
Well, it is. Although maybe not
quite in the way the general in
tended.
The people-TCm. Dick. Harry
and their wives-are doing their
best to take it over from the dele
gates. And with quite a bit Of
success.
They surge through the aisles
of Convention Hall, gaping at
celebrities, chatting with friends,
|mugging for the televisio n
cameras.
They even move into the floor
space reserved for delegates and
alternates.
Convention officials do their best
to keep order. Chairman Gabriel
son pleaded, wheedled, threatened
and finally called in the cops yes
lterday. He said there were more
visitors in the delegates area than
there were delegates.
There was an anguished cal
from the speakers platform for
the sergeant at arms, Brassy-
voiced Charles Hacker Of Chicago
He couldn't be located. The
general belief was he'd been pes
tered so much for admission tick
cts that he'd gone underground.

There is a not-too-delicate aroma

ton Hall. They let you brand
your own steak there so you'll be

There are places about for the
poor man, too. One colorful saloon
is called "The Last Roundup"
Horse Still Plays Part.
Another Western Touch: The
parking lot attendants at Con-
vention Hall ride horseback.
Senator Supplies Quotation.
Getting back to the convention
itself:
A Democratic Senator furnished
Gen. Macarthur with one Of the
best-received passages in his key
note address to the national con-
vention last night.
Said the Senator (and the gen.
eral quoted approvingly):
II dread nothing so much as the
exercise of ungranted and doubt
full powers by this Government. It
is, in my opinion, the danger Of
dangers to the future of this coun-
try"
This wasn't one of today's Sem
ators but a 10th century legisla-
tor, Senator Benjamin Hill Of
Georgia.
II dare say" Gen. Macarthur
commented in the sole trace Of
humor his speech contained-"he
expected the responsibility would
be chargeable to q Republican ad-
ministration.
