Arthur should be placed on the
ticket as Vice President, will no
longer work. And these same
men suggest. in view Of the
often-heard objection that Mac
is too DID," the nomination of
Senator William Knowland who
has just won a spectacular vic,
tory in California's primaries,
or Of Senate Minority Leader
Styles Bridges as his running
mate.
ALI this is no longer mere pre-
convention speculation. Most Of
the top ranking Republican
strategists had written of Gen.
Macarthur as their first choice
although they continue to re-
gard him as a desirable dark
horse. The general himself has
repeatedly assured his friends
that he has no desire to be q
candidate for the presidency.
Recently, however, he bemoaned
the strife in Republican ranks.
In order to help the defeat of
the Democratic Party Gen. Mac
Arthur changed his original
stand that he would not take
either the first or second place
in the presidential contest, and
informed Senator Taft's sup
porters that he would agree, if
necessary, to take the second
place. To those who asked why
he would not do the same thing
for Gen. Eisenhower he replied
that while he has a high regard
for his former subordinate as a
military man, he does not con-
slider him politically competent
for the presidency.
The story that Gen. MacAr-
thur would accept the vice
presidency if Senator Taft were
nominated leaked out and has
been the subject of speculation
for the last 10 days. In the

Macarthur Might Heal Breach
Neutro o. o. Lawmakers Suggest New Standard Bearer
TO Gain Porty Unity After ToftEisenhower Conflict
Constantine Brown:

A number Of responsible "neu-
trail Republican Senators and
Representatives who are watch
ing with increasing concern the
bitter struggle between Taft and
Eisenhower supporters in Chi
cago venture their opinion that
the conflict between the two fac
tions has become so great that
unity in the party can be
achieved only by another stand
ard bearer. And they all guess"
that Gen. Douglas Macarthur
will be the man.
1t is true. they say, that Gen.
Macarthur is openly supporting
Senator Taft. But he has not
been in the slightest involved in
the bitter name-calling which
has been going on among Re-
publicanS ever since Eisenhow-
er's return from Europe. While
these "neutrals" will admit that
neither Senator Paft nor Gen.
Eisenhower has contrived per-
Sonally to engender the present
rift. they cannot disclaim re-
Sponsibility for what their en-
thusiastic supporters are doing
to the Republican Party.
These Republican legislators,
who for obvious reasons cannot
be named, are expected to be
influential within the next few
days at the convention in Chi
cago. They feel strongly that
the wounds of their party can
no longer be healed if Taft or
Eisenhower becomes the stand
ard bearer. But they are firmly
convinced that the vast major
ity Of the Republicans who are
so eager to see their party take
over next November would rally
behind Macarthur. They also
believe that the idea espoused

OF messages from important
people back home to the same

messages from home were in
spired by the big financial
houses in New York, who had
claims on the important people

They say they anticipate an

and are prepared to be as tough

meantime, however, the bitter
ness between the supporters Of

rift in the party cannot be
healed If either Of the contend
ers wins the nomination.
Early this year. when the
question of Gen. Macarthur
making the keynote speech was
first broached to Senator Taft,
one Of his friends drew his at
tention to the possibility that
the general might. inyoluntarily,
stir up such enthusiasm among
the delegates that he might get
the nomination for himself.

by one who was present at that
meeting to have said that while

does not occur to reconcile the

Macarthur would be the logical
nominee. Taft's supporters
would certainly lend a helping
hand. The intimate advisers of
Gen. Eisenhower might not like
it but the rank and file of the
State delegates who are sup
porting him are said to see in
such a nomination the best way
out Of the present impasse.
They all seem to think that
Gen. Macarthur. in spite of his
aloofness. is still the best poten-
tial vote getter and would be a
far stronger standard bearer
than either Gen. Eisenhower or
Senator Taft.

However, "all OF the discussions
related directly to the unresolved
problem" prisoner exchange
Gen. Nuckols told newsmen.
The secret talks began after the
Communists Thursday proposed
reclassif1cation of all prisoners ac-
cording to nationality and area
and checking Of prisoner lists to
speed repatriation. The Reds also
indicated they would permit vol
untary repatriation Of Korean
prisoners provided all Chinese
prisoners were returned.
Allied negotiators said the pro-
posal seemed full of "gimmicks, y
but they wanted more details. Last
April, the United Nations said only
5000 of 10000 Allied-held Chi

If we should take the word dis

The word tantamount always fails
to enchant my ears, partly because
most speakers do not pronounce the

chiefly because the word therefore

When Mr.. MuzZy heard his part
ner's jump raise he took another
look at his terrific hand and de-
cided he probably had about 16
winners. After checking to find
his partner had the missing ace,
he had no hesitancy in bidding
seven.
Mr.. Abel opened the jack of clubs
and Mr.. Muzzy's face fell when he
saw the dummy. Obviously he had
only IL sure winners. Shaking his
head sadly, he won the first trick
with the queen of clubs and laid
down two top trumps to make sure
they were all out.
Next he cashed his two remain
ing top clubs. At this point he
thought of throwing the hand in
for down one. Luckily he dis
carded that idea and ran the rest
OF his spades. On the last two
spades he had to make two dis
cards from dummy.
His hand went waveringly TO-
ward the ten of hearts and Miss
Brash closed her eyes as if she
couldn't bear to watch. She real
lied the ten of hearts might be an
important squeeze card.
When she looked again, Mr..
Muzzy had elected to throw two
diamonds from the board. Not be-
cause he knew those were the right
plays, but only because they were
the lowest cards in dummy.
Mr.. Champions blood pressure
had been rising all through the
play. He realized, if Mr.. Muzzy
didn't, that a squeeze was almost
bound to develop. On the lead
OF the last spade, Mr.. Champion
had to get down to four cards. IT
was clear that three of these had
to be hearts or else dummy's ten
OF hearts would be winner.
The only hope was that Mr.. Abel
had the guarded jack of diamonds,
so Mr.. Champion threw the queen
OF that suit. Mr.. Muzzy then
played the ace of diamonds, drop
ping the king. His jack Of dia-
monds and the two high hearts won
the balance of the tricks.
Your luck is revolving" said Mr..
Champion, disgustedly.
What do you mean, luck?" an
swered Mr.. Muzzy, angrily. At
