Mrs. Longworth said she's been
to II or IL Republican conven-

Democratic ones, because she loves
them. The fight being waged at
this one, however, "is as nothing
compared to the hate and savage
ry displayed at the convention of
1912" she said, remembering
when her father was squeezed out
by the William Howard Taft
forces.
Two men dressed like mountain

their hips. Anything can turn

Virginia Republican,
Unite on Dalton for
National Committee
BY Alex R. Preston
Star Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, July 9.-The vir-
einia Republican delegation today
named State Senator Ted Dalton
of Radford as national committee
man after opposition from Taft
forces was withdrawn.
The sudden shift to make Mr..
Dalton elections unanimous cams
during the delegations caucus this
morning after efforts to defer
action on the vote again were
beaten down.
There were some suggestions
that withdrawal Of opposition
meant that MIR. Dalton had come
to be more friendly to Senator
Taft's candidacy.
In accepting the party bid. how
ever. Mr.. Dalton said he still was
uncommitted. He added that he
felt it would be better for the
entire 23-member Virginia dele
CATION to vote solidly when the
time comes for either Taft or
Eisenhower-depending on who is
running in front.
McWane Quit Race.
His election came after State
Party Treasurer Fred w. McWane,
q Taft man mentioned as Mr..
Dalton's opponent. withdrew.
The election of a national COM
mitteeman was deferred at Mon
days caucus by 13 to 10 vote.
The strategy was an effort on the
part of Senator Taft's supporters
to hold off until Mr.. Dalton indi-
Gated his preference between Taft
and Eisenhower. Mr.. Dalton has
been uncommitted.
The agreement today came after
bitter charges had been hurled
by Taft and Eisenhower partisans
within the Virginia delegation.
The tense atmosphere remained
In the Maryland delegation.
Despite cool, rainy day yes
terday and a convention session
devoid of major issues. nerves
were growing taut in the battle
over the presidential nomination.
It was the deals, the attempted
deals and the closed door con-
ferences that were beginning to-
create strain.
The Maryland fight centersI
around Gov. McKeldin. who will
make the Eisenhower nominating
speech, and Senator Butler. leader
OF the Taft forces.
"Blitz Boys" AsSailed.
No definite time has been setI
for a Maryland caucus, according
to Gov. McKeldin. although one
could be called at any moment the
situation demands.
A source close to the Governor
accused Maryland'S three Repub-
lican members of the House OF
pressuring delegates to vote for
Senator Taft.
The delegation voted 10 to five
in favor of the Eisenhower forces
on a "fair play rule in the con-
vention. Just before that, Senator
Butler had estimated the "a dele
gates were evenly divided between
the two presidential candidates.
Butler Claims 10.
Asked if he cared to re-evaluate
his estimate after the fair play"
vote, Senator Butler said:
mo. I still think that when
the Taft Eisenhower vote comes,
we'll have at least 10. Certainly
we'll have more than the flve vel
had on the "fair play" amend
ment."
Asked why the other 10 voted
with the Eisenhower people. Sena-
tor Butler said. some Of them just
yielded to pressure.
Up until Monday, Maryland's
delegates had been pledged to
Gov. McKeldin as a favorite son.
He released them when he was
named to nominate Gen. Eisen-
hover at the convention.
An Associated Press poll lists
the delegation as six for Gen.
Eisenhower. five for Senator Taft
and 13 uncommitted.

BUTTERNUT SQUASHES.
Mrs. r. w. T., Herndo7,)

tMIos Az W 11CI HUUW/
To the reader who inquired
about butternut squashes, ]
: submit the following informa-
ton and recipes. Pick very
young squash while they are
green and tender. Each should
weigh u pound or less. Remove
stem and blossom, slice in one
inch slices (do not peeD and
steam until tender. Melt some
butter in a heavy pan, add
about a teaspoon of minced
onion and cook until golden.
Add squash to this and wash
thoroughly with fork or potato
masher. Then add salt, pepper,
a little sugar to taste. I al
ways add several tablespoons
cream, also. because the butter
nut squash is quite dry. Stir
over heat until well mixed,
serve. This Is a delicious vege-
table. I cook it in quantity
and freeze the ready cooked
product for winter use.
The mature squashes may re-
main on the vine until autumn
or until the vine has dried up.
Do gather before frost. They
will keep all winter in the Gel
lar. I used the last squash Of
my 1851 crop on June Is, 1852.
The following recipes are for
the fully grown, mature yellow
squash. These must be peeled
and seeded before they are
steamed. After they have been
steamed until tender, put
through a potato ricer or sieve.

perature to 325 degrees, cook

Add enough flour to make soft

until double in bulk. Knead

Let rise until almost double in
size. Bake in 400-degree oven
until done.
Whipped Butternut Squash:
Three pounds butternut squash,
70 cup water, l teaspoon salt,
70 cup milk, "a cup butter or

tender. Drain thoroughly. Heat
milk and butter together. Pour
over squash. Beat with electric
mixer minute at low speed,

dish.
