By the Assoeiofed Press

LOS ANGELES. June 17.-Gov.
Earl Warren of California says
he plans an all-out fight for the
Republican presidential nomina-
tion and he wants his delegates
to "Stay with me at the conven-
ton as long as we have a fighting
chance"
He told a group of some 70 of
his Southern California delegates
and alternates last night that the
nominee could be determined on
the first ballot, or ''it could drag
on to 30 or 40 ballots. We might
well hold the balance of power" /"
Gov. Warren said he has made
no deals Of any kind and II won't
shade my views q single whit to
win over any delegate at the con-
vention."
He told the delegates they will
be subjected to heavy pressure to
change their minds and urged
them to stick to their guns.

Star Sfaff Correspondent

DENVER, June 17.-Arriving
cold in the midst of the Eisen-
hover camp is something like
coming late to a moderately sue
ceSsful cocktail party.
There is an enthusiasm among
the people who have followed Gen.
Eisenhower since his return that
has not projected itself generally
throughout the country. You can
not escape the impression that
every one here is trying, perhaps
too hard, to make the party a
success.
Gen. Eisenhower presents a real
problem to what may be the
friendliest press corps ever to bless
a presidential candidate. It is a
problem that has little to do with
the political leanings of individual
reporters or individual newspapers.
Effective at Short Range.
1t arises from the increasingly
obvious fact that the general puts
himself across very effectively at
short range and much less effec-
lively at a distance. Something
essential about the man which inn
presses itself on his immediate au-
dience is lost in transmission.
The loss is particularly vexing to
news writer's. Words which sound
convincing and fortnight emerge
too often in print as chilly plati-
tudes. Perfectly genuine modesty
appears to have tinge Of what
the drama critics might describe
as corn. It is a phenomenon which
even Gen. Eisenhower's most ar
dent boosters are quick to recog-
nize.
The problem for reporters is
how to restore this elusive personal
quality without exposing them
selves to the charge Of bias. Not
to make the effort would amount
to an admission of failure in the
job of presenting the candidate
fairly and accurately to the public.
The simple fact Of the matter
is that Gen. Eisenhower, on an
informal person-to-person basis,
is extraordinarily impressive. On
any other basis he appears so far
to be at disadvantage. It may
be that this difficulty will diminish
as the campaign progresses.
Is Gathering Facts.
AS the emphasis shifts from q
question of personality to a ques-
ton Of political issues, the public
should find more to sink its teeth
into. BY his own admission, the
general sticks to generalities until
he is armed with the facts. And
since his return to this country
he has been gathering facts by
the hatful.
Things took q turn for the bet
ter in Detroit when the general
tore up his prepared speech and
launched out on his own. The
personal contact with his audi
ence, lacking in his earlier effort,
brought out a far more spontane-
Gus and satisfactory response.
Some Of his advisers would like
to see the general step down OFF
the somewhat lofty pedestal from
which he has been observing the

Eisenhower Will See
Colorado, Wyoming,
Utah Groups Today
By the Associated Press

DENVER, June 17.-Gen. Els
enhower begins this afternoon his
attempt to WOO additional ma
tional G. o. P. convention votes
from Western States.
OF three delegations invited to
confer with him, one strongly
favors him, one is split and one is
committed to vote solidly for SEN
ator Taft of Ohio on the first bal
lot at Chicago.
The general first will meet the
Colorado delegation, which is
safely in his camp. Utah will fol-
low for an hours conference and
Wyoming will come in as Utah
leaves.
Bid to Be Accepted.
The Utah delegation is the one
pledged to Taft. But State Chair
man A. Pratt Kesler said last
night at Salt Lake City that 33
Utah Republicans will accept the
generals invitation. Among them.
Mr.. Kesler said, will be majority
of the IA delegates and IA alter
mates.
OF Colorado's Is delegates, Is
have pledged support to Gen. Els
enhower, one to Harold E. Stas-
sen first and Gen. Eisenhower
second, and two to Senator Taft.
One of the Taft hackers is Sen
ator Millikin, chairman of the
Colorado delegation as well as
chairman of the National Con-
vention Platform Committee.
Senator Millikin will not be pres
ent at the conference.
Taft Leads in Wyoming.
Wyoming is divided. An AS
sociated Press survey showed six
of the States dozen delegates for
Senator Taft, two for Gen. Eisen-
hover and four uncommitted to
any presidential aspirant.
Earl Hanway, publisher of the
Casper Tribune and one of the
uncommitted Wyoming delegates,
reported that more than half the
delegates were planning to attend
the conference. Heading the
group is Marvin Bishop of Cas-
per, an avowed Taft man.
Tomorrow, Oregon and Ari-
zona Republican leaders have
been invited to talk over the is
sues with Gen. Eisenhower. No
such visits are scheduled Thurs
day but Friday groups from Mon
tana, Washington and Idaho are
slated for appearances at the gen.

|Brewster's Long Career Dotted

Another phase of the Brewster
Hughes tangle were statements
that the telephone lines of Mr..
Hughes associates were tapped
during the Senate inquiry.
A Washington police lieutenant,
Joseph Shimon, told a Senate
subcommittee in 1850 that he was
employed by Senator Brewster
during the Hughes investigation
to determine whether Mr.. Brew
ster was being shadowed.
1t. Shimon admitted he tapped
a number of telephone lines in
Washington hotels, some of them
belonging to Mr.. Hughes aides.
1t. Shimon now faces charges
before a police trial board here
growing out of his wire tapping
activities in 1947 and his testimony
before the Senate committee. Sen
Iator Brewster has denied knowl-
ledge of any wire tapping in his
behalf.
In addition to serving as chair
man of the Senate War Investigat-
ing Committee, originally known
as the Truman Committee, Sena-
tor Brewster served on the Senate
committee which investigated the
Pearl Harbor disaster.

name was brought into a House

owen Brewster's career in ma
tional political Office started with
his election to the House Septem-
ber 10, 1884. And it was unbroken
until yesterday.
The Maine Republican was re-
elected to the House twice and
elected to the Senate for two six
year terms.
Maine Republicans yesterday
rejected his bid for a third term in
the Senate in favor of Gov. Fred
Ierick G. Payne.
Senator Brewster's career in
State politics started well before
1884. He was a member of the
Maine Legislature from 1917 to
1918 and was renominated, but
resigned to enter military service
during World War I.
He re-entered the Maine Legis-
|lature for the 1922 term, was
|elected to the Maine Senate for
the 1924 term and served two
terms as Governor, 1925-1929.
Although he progressed steadily
in political Office, Senator Brew
ster's elective path was not
smooth. In fact, it was extremely
rough in spots.
In Senator Brewster's first cam
paign for Governor the nomina-
ton certificate was awarded his
opponent, Frank G. harrington
president of the Maine Senate.

But charges of fraud and ir'
Irregularities in the primary led tht
Governor and council to reverst
the finding after submitting man!
of the questions involved to th'
Supreme Court, which gave a f.:

ster'S candidacy.
j In 1886, when running for hi
second term in the House, Sena'
tor Brewster was blacklisted b!
the newly organized CIO, but wor
with a majority of 10000 above
his previous election.
l His nomination to the Senatt
lin 1910 also came after a bittel

Fertilizers Build
Farm Soils Supply
OF Organic Matter

NRGANIC matter plays an essen
~ tial part in soil fertility, but
chemical fertilizers are necessary to
build up the organic matter supply
in large land areas, declared the
Middle West Soil Improvement Com
mittee, in citing a recent statement
by DR.. L. M. Turk, head OF the Soil
Science Department Of Michigan
State College.
DR.. Turk pointed out that those
who advocate the use Of compost or
manure to increase the soils organic
content are performing a definite
service. But In condemning the use
of chemical fertilizer. he said,
some people are doing distinct
disservice to the nation"
'For efficient crop production, he
said. "lime, fertilizers and organic
matter must 60 hand in hand. Or
ganic matter is dependent upon
plants. And plants are dependent.
among other things, upon an ade'
quate supply o. soil minerals.
The most effective means OF add
ing organic matter to large fields
Is by an intelligent use Of purely in
organic fertilizer, DR.. Turk be-
lieves. Growing cover crop
through the use Of commercial fer.
tilizer and plowing it under adds
greatly to the organic matter in the
soil.
DR.. Turk said no proof has been
offered that crops grown without
chemical fertilizer are more free
from disease and insects than are
crops produced with commercial
fertilizer.
