Big Fight Shaping Up
On Efforts 10 Amend
Convention Rules
Bottle Is Expected
Over Boring Vote by
Contested Delegates
D.. Au
By J. A. O'Leoy
Star Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, July 4.-The effort
by Eisenhower forces to prevent
any contested delegates from vot-
ing on final settlement of contests
lis shaping up as the first big
tight in the Republican National
Convention next week.
It will come at the opening
session on a move to amend the
rules, and will provide the first
major test of Taft-EiseDnower
strength.
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New
York, who led the party in the
last two presidential elections,
said yesterday that "if these con-
tested delegations are seated the
nomination will be no more valid
than it was in 1912, when it was
won by the same tactics"
Gov. Dewey, now the leading
Eisenhower supporter, was re-
Iferring to the convention in which
Theodore Roosevelt split the Re-
publican Party. after Senator
Taft's father, William Howard
Taft, won denomination. In that
convention there were contests
involving many more delegates
than are in dispute today.
Gabrielson Defends Ruling.
The ruling then was that dele
gates seated temporarily to get
the convention started could not
vote on the final determination
of their own seats. but could vote
lon contests in other States.
That ruling was cited and de-
Tended last night by Guy Gabriel
son, chairman of the Republican
National Committee in reply to

Governors. who have gone on

advocated by the Eisenhower
camp.

United as between Senator Taft
|and Gen. Eisenhower and controls
Ia substantial number of Pennsyl-
lvania's 70-member delegation.
Mr.. Gabrielson repeated the
argument Senator Taft has been
making that if contested delegates
were barred from voting on any
other contest, a minority could
lprevent a future convention from
lfunctioning at all, by contesting
the seats of a majority.
In a press conference yester-
day Gov. Dewey dismissed that
argument with the statement that
such situation would never arise

a forecast that might postpone

of 10000 persons.
He predicted humid day. with

last long enough, the Monument
show will be put off till tomor-

The showers are building up
ahead of a cold front moving this

Extraordinary Raid

can Sabre Jets today shot down IL
Communist MICS while Allied
artillerymen unlimbered every big
gun on the Korean battlefront for
a double-barreled July Fourth
blow against the Reds.
The toll of IL MICS shot down,
one probably destroyed and six
damaged made the air battle the
second biggest jet victory of the
Korean war, the 5th Air Force
said.
Few MICS have been seen over
North Korea for more than three
months. But today the Reds
hurled lis of the swift swept
wing fighters against U. N. fighter
bombers and the 81 Sabre jets
flying protective cover.
The Air Force did not identify
the target of the big force of F-84
Thunderjets. However, it said the
Communist installation was about

Toll Just Short of Record.
Some observers said the secrecy
and the unusually big fighter cover
gave the raid the appearance Of
something out of the ordinary.
Allied plane losses, if any, we're
not announced.
The MIG toll was just short Of
the all-time record set December
13 when 13 MICS were shot dow
two probably destroyed and 6ne
damaged.
The total number of MICS de-
stroyed, probably destroyed and
damaged topped the earlier fattle,

Two wings of F-84 fighter
bomhers pounded the unidentified
target with 1,000-pound bombs
and napalm. the Air Force said.
Then the jets dived low to strafe
anti-aircraft positions with So
caliber machine gun fire.
Returning pilots said it was i'm
possible to evaluate damage be-
cause of dense black smoke.
Fighting on Three Sectors.
Fighting broke out in three Sec
tors of the ground front as Allied
artillerymen wheeled every big gun
on the 155-mile line into action
for a murderous Fourth of July
barrage.
On the western front, Chinese
Communist battalion of 750 men
swarmed up Old Baldy and q
nearby hill three times. Twice
Allied guns hammered the charg-
ing Reds back, but stnl they came.
One Allied unit finally was cut
off and some forward bunkers
were overrun. But the doughboys
rallied around tanks which poured
lead into the attacking Reds at
point-blank range.
At 2:30 this morning four hours
after the attack began, the
Chinese gave up the battle and
pulled back to their own lines.

100 Reds were killed and 200

Slightly to the east, a some

about $50 men hit newly won

was stopped cold.
