be established, delegates to the
annual convention of the Com
munications Workers of America

hover, leading contenderS for the

lot. He estimated he has more
than 800 convention delegates
committed to him. For nomina-
ton, GIG votes are required.

thought Gen. Eisenhower's can
didacy lis weaker today than

In his convention talk, he said
1t may be" the two disagree on
foreign policy. He said he doubted

zionist sentiments of most of the
leaders of his party.
But l don't think that will do
Gen. Eisenhower much good" he
went on. mo matter what Repub-
Ilican is in the White House, the
Republican isolationist will domi-
nate the party"
/ In his attack on the Hart
ley Act, the Tennessee Senator
said: "The Republican leaders
want to break the back of Or
,ganized labor in this country"

With First Ballot
BY the Associated Press

LOS ANGELES, June 19-Gov
McKeldin of Maryland, leaving nc
doubt he was for Gen. Eisenhower
for the Republican presidential
nomination. said yesterday: 1--WE
got kind of a feeling we might
make it on the first ballot"
Mr.. McKeldin, Maryland's "fa-
vorite son" candidate, said all the
States "a convention delegates
were for him first and indicated
most were for Gen. Eisenhower
second.
But I'm not really a candidate
for President" Gov. McKeldin
admitted. Il would consider the
vice presidential nomination. yes. u
The Maryland Governor told a
press conference:
Il don't like military people in
public Office, generally. But Eisen-
hover is an exception"
Foreign policy is the most i'm
portant issue and the main rea-
son Mr.. McKeldin is for Eisen-
hover, he indicated.
Il can't agree with Taft men
that corruption and high taxes
are more important" Mr.. Nc
Keldin remarked.
Mr.. McKeldin concede that q
deadlock might occur at the con-
vention because right now II don t
believe either Taft or Eisenhower
have the delegates they claim
they have"
He said there was a possibility
that a bloc of 80 uncommitted
votes from Maryland, Pennsyl-
vania and Michigan might help
to put Gen. Eisenhower over.
Gov. McKeldin is here to ad-
dress two United Jewish Welfare
Fund meetings before returning
to Baltimore tomorrow.

Texas Delegate Fight
To Be Aired July |
AT Chicago Hearing

The Republican National Com
mittee has stepped into the heated
disputes over convention delegates
in Texas and six other States with
plans for a hearing in Chicago
next month.
The committee announced to-
day the hearing would start July
II. Involved in the dispute are
Texas 38 delegates and "a from
iother States 72-vote total that
could be decisive in a close nomi-
mating race.
This means the fight between
the Eisenhower and Taft forces
in Texas will be aired fully be-
fore the National Committee and
later before the Credentials Com
mittee of the National Convention
In the end, the dispute may be
put before the convention itself
for decision. The issue today was
whether the National Committee
should hear contests only for the
six delegates and six alternates
at large and the 80 district dele
gates and alternates should be
referred back to the party Or
ganization and the State.
Mrs. Howard Makes Ruling.

secretary of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, Mrs. Charles
P. Howard of Massachusetts,. She
acted after consultation with the
committees general counsel
former Gov. Ralph Gates of In
diana.
A statement issued by the Ma.
tional Committee said:
"All of these contests were re.
ferred to the National Committee
because the certificates of the riva
delegate states showed that, while
the District delegates wer'
recommended by district eau
cuses. they were elected by Stat,
convention, rather than by dis
Etrict conventions.

ayers have charged that the TAT
machine in Texas stole the Texas

World Peace Hinges Upon Korean Arnistice
 

TOKYO, (P)-Gen. Matthew B Ridgway says the stakes in the Korean armistice talks are world peace.
 The Allied supreme commander said in an interview he prayS con- stantly that Americans will be extremely patient while United Nations Command negotiators withstand Communist deceit and stalling.
 Ridgway conceded that the pro- longed truce talks-now in their ninth month-tried ones patience, but added:
 Patience is a necessity. The stakes in this case are not only the lives of Allied prisoners in Communist hands, but world peace itself.
 "Far reaching and almost in- calculable consequences could flow from facts which some of our people advocate in the cur rent situation"
 The 57-year-old commander de- scribed as most disturbing" Rus sia's charges that the Allies are waging germ warfare in North Korea-charges deneid repeated ly by high US. officials.
 "It is completely in accord with the deliberate and repeated em- ployment of falsehoods of Soviet leaders," he said. ''It is all a part of the big lie. The result is more hatred and more animosity and less chance of getting the world situation strengthened out"
 He added that the Communist charges show "they will stop at nothing to stir up things which could lead to bitterness and war"

Fire Wipes Out Half Wrangell's Business District

WRANGELL, (P) - A wind fed fire wiped out more than half of Wrangell's business section early Saturday, destroying 20 frame buildings and residence perched on billings along the towns main street.
 The loss was estimated by Fire Chief William D. Grant at close to one million dollars.
 Eighty-five persons were made homeless before the flames were brought under control at am, AZ hours after the fire mush- roomed from hardware store.
 Bremen said a boiler explo- sion was the apparent cause.
 Dynamiting of buildings in the path of the raging blaze failed to stem it's advance. Not until col lapse of the only hotel in this community of 1,2O0 persons 720 miles north of Seattle was the fire controlled.
 The entire water side of the towns single business street was a scene of destruction. For four blocks the narrow beach was lit- tered with the smoldering re- mains of the buildings, all of which were built on billings be- cause the steep hillside on which Wrangell is situated slopes sharp ly toward the water.
 Gone were the community's only bakery, barber shop, frozen food locker plant, theater and hotel. Also destroyed were a new Elks club and bowling alley, Red mems Lodge, one of three large grocery stores, two liquor stores and two gift shops.
 It was the first major fire in Wrangell since 1906, when all buildings on the land side of the business street were burned out.

TOrnadOes Leave l74 Dead Friday. Along Mississippi

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, (P) = Spring tornadoes rumbled with black fury across four southern states on the Mississippi River Friday and left 174 dead and more than 1000 injured.
 Even as rescue workers toiled through the muck and debris o1 the shattered areas, the Washing ton weather bureau warned that fresh tornadoes might hit in Ten nessess, Kentucky and Alabama Saturday afternoon.
 The bureau warned that by nightfall the storm conditions would reach into the western parts of Virginia and West Vir- ginia.
 Up and down the Mississippi River in Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri and North Mississippi large sections looked as if some vast artillery barrage had been laid down.
 Damage to homes, factories, public utilities and farms was ex- pected to run into the millions of dollars.
 Worst hit was Arkansas where the vicious black funnel, laced with rain and shot through with lightning, killed 115 persons. Forty died in Tennessee, eight in Mississippi and II in the Caruth- ersville area of Missouri.
 This was by far the worst storm ever to hit Arkansas. The dead Hest previous storm was June 5, 1916 when 86 persons were killed. The highest single days toll from tornadoes was on March 18, 1925 when 689 people in Missouri, Illinois and Indiana, died.

Eisenhower Says America Does Not Need Socialism

WASHINGTON, (R-It is Gen. Eisenhower's opinion that ''in some things <. we have drifted too far to the so-called left"
 This and other views held by the five star general were set forth today in an "off the record'' interview published by US. News & World Report.
 Eisenhower said the drift to the left has been shown particularly n our emphasis on legislation as panacea." And, he added:
 America is not the kind of country that needs socialism. We can achieve whatever reforms we need without such radical change in our own economic set up.
 "There are people in this coun- try, of course, who want to go' clear over to the left. I just don't agree that Americas future lies in that direction"
 He was then asked: "Do you think there is a middle way that is not too far over in the right and is certainly in the direction of the left?"
 Eisenhower said that depends on the definition of middle way" and added that Sin a general way" he would agree that the proper way is to select good ideas, no matter from which side they come.
 At another point, Eisenhower said that he believes the key to being a successful President lies in the ability to select and handle men.
