Republicans in Texas
Braced for Battle on
National Delegates
BY the Asseeiosed Press

Lone Star State Republicans
meet today for decisions that
could make the Texas delegation
to the G. o. P. Convention in
Chicago a crucial hot potato.
The Texas State Republican
Convention meets tomorrow to
name 80 delegates to the conven-
ton. But by that time an intra-
party fight between hackers Of
Senator Taft and Gen. Eisen-
hover for the Republican presi-
dental nomination may have de-
veloped into Texas G. o. P. split
that will keep the issue in doubt
until the Chicago convention.
The State G. o. P. Executive
Committee was to judge today be-
tween rival Taft and Eisenhower
backer claims to control of 81 out
OF 38 county delegations to tomor-
rows State convention. Eisen-
hover Republicans said yesterday
they will bolt Tuesdays conven-
tion "if the State Executive Com
mittee runs roughshod over us and
the State convention upholds
them"
H. j. Porter of Houston, Texas
campaign director for Eisenhower,
said today'S Executive Committee
meeting is the important one. An
Eisenhower bolt would mean that
both the Taft and Eisenhower
forces would name 80 delegates
to Chicago.
Then it would be up to the ma
tional convention to decide which
slate to seat. or how many from
each slate to recognize.
Connecticut Rally Set.
Chances appeared strong for
Gen. Eisenhower to make another
gain in Connecticut, where the
State Republican convention
opens q two-day session tonight.
Gov. John Lodge is an Eisen-
hover backer and q brother of
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, jr.,
one Of the generals national or
ganizers. Connecticut names ~
delegates.
Texas Democrats also were
threatening q party bolt. The
issue in the Democratic Party
there was between pro-adminiS-
tration loyal Democrats and the
faction led by Gov. Allan Shivers,
who wants an uninstructed dele
cation. Texas Democrats name
So delegates to the big conven-
ton.
Pagan Dickson, pro-administra-
ton leader, said his faction is pre-
pared to walk out of the State
convention tomorrow at San An
tonic, and send q rival delegation
to Chicago.

said on a radio show that he

Space for Research
e..
Claimed Big Need al
Library Of CONGRESS

Additional space is needed by
the Library Of Congress to serve
teams of Government researchers.
DR.. Luther H. Evans, the Librari-
an, said today in his annual re-
port.
The Librarian pointed to the
growing tendency to send Govern
ment researchers to the Library's
books, rather than send the books
to the agencies in which they
work.
"This emphasizes one of our
greatest needs" DR.. Evans wrote,
that is the need for additional
space for the accommodation Of
research teams. who would be
much more efficient in their work
if they could have adequate
quarters in the Library during the
period of intensive study. It
would repay the Government
many times over to provide space
near the books and away from the
distractions of an ordinary
Government Office"
Cites Increased Demands.
DR.. Evans pointed to the in
creased demands on the Library
owing to United States world
leadership and the increased in
terest in world problems.
I'm order to meet the Govern
ment's needs, the Library was
forced to curtail its service to the
public" he declared.
Although the Library has the
largest collections in the country
relating to Russia, China and
Japan, they were found to be far
from adequate for the research
demands placed upon them, DR..
Evans asserted.
During fiscal 1851. he said, the
Library's Legislative Reference
Service handled $4,000 requests
from members of Congress and
the committees.
Many More Requests.
This was about 6 per cent more
than during the prior year and at
least four times as many as a
decade earlier.
Altogether, 2,737 comprehensive
reports, containing 16,500 pages
we're prepared. Some 80 of them
merited publication as committee
prints or inclusion in the Con-
gressional Record. ..
1.-THE Library of Congress is be-
lieved to be the greatest library
in the world. and every year that
passes increases the strength of
that belief" DR.. Evans wrote.
In the first place. it has more
space. more money, and more
staff than any other library in
history has had"
During the fiscal year 1851, tn,
Library spent $8.763,750 and EN-
ployed 1,734 persons from its owI
appropriations. In addition, it EN-
ployed 430 persons with th'
$2,045,054 transferred by othe
