A burglar-alarm system had

Navy Able 10 A-Bomb
Most Targets, Unit Told
BY the Associated Press


A top air admiral told senators
yesterday the Navy will be able
to deliver large or small atomic
bombs against most targets.
Vice Admiral John w. Cassidy,
deputy chief of naval air oper-
ations, offered this testimony be-
fore a closed-door session of the
Senate preparedness investigating
subcommittee.
I'm air-to-ground attack capa-
bilities, small atomic bombs will
open unlimited offensive possibili-
ties to naval aviation" the Admiral
said. There are many targets
against which the small bomb,
accurately delivered, is the pre-
ferable weapon.
"All naval attack aircraft and
all long-range fighter aircraft for
which we are asking funds will
be able to deliver the small atomic
bombs.
Despite the remarkable offen-
Sive strength that the small atomic
weapon gives us, we have not
ignored the fact that some specific
targets may be dealt with better
by the large bombs. We now have
in our carriers planes capable of
delivery of the big bomb. and a
greatly improved carrier-based at
tack plane is now in production. i"

Ivention came about in this way:
State delegates had been fight
ing for hours to shift the balance
|of power which seemed solidly set
lat a dead center between Senator
Taft and Gen. Eisenhower.
The eight district caucuses
elected Is delegates - two from
each district. and they were split
8-8 between the two presidential
candidates. After that, it appeared
there also would be an even split
in the election Of 10 delegates
lat large.
The task of selecting these at
large delegates Ito be approved
by the whole convention) was
given to the conventions nomi-
mating committee. The commit
tee was evenly divided between
Taft and Eisenhower hackers.
The committee struggled in a
hotel room for more than three
hours in what seemed like a dead
lock. The jittery convention dele
gates had been asked to leave the
convention hall by Sis pm.
(CST), because q play was sched-
|uled to open there in early eve
ming.
It appeared the convention
would be forced to recess until
midnight or today. But shortly
after S pm. the committee gave
its report to the convention. It
assured Gen. Eisenhower seven
and Senator Taft one of the 10
delegates-at-large.
Four Declared Neutral.
Four Of the States 26 delegates
publicly had declared themselves
Jas neutrals. But those familiar
with Iowa politics placed one in
the Taft camp and one in the
Eisenhower camp.
The reason is this: Although
announced neutrals, both said
they would abide by instructions
from their respective district
delegations. One district is pro-
Taft, the other pro-Eisenhower.
This left Senator Hickenlooper,
Republican, Of Iowa and National
Committeeman-elect Robert K.
Goodwin as the apparently firm
neutrals who could not be counted
in either camp. There are some
who believe that Mr.. Goodwin
would be inclined to go along with
the majority at the national con-
vention-although Senator Taft
seemed to think both Senator
Hickenlooper and Mr.. Goodwin
would be on his side.
