The President had discussed
that particular matter at ar

Republicans Expected
TO Ask Macarthur 10
Keynote Convention
BY the Assoeiaied Press

The possibility of inviting Gen
Macarthur to be keynote speake,
at the Republican presidential
nominating convention is under
discussion by members Of the
party's Executive Committee.
A prominent G.. o. P. official
told q reporter that he and his
colleagues have talked over such
Ian invitation to the general. He
said Gen. Macarthur is almost
certain to be asked to make a
major speech at the July conven-
ton In any event-a likelihood
confirmed in other Republican
quarters.
# Gen, Macarthur speaks, the
10. o. p. convention might note q
contrast between his attitude to-
ward Army regulations against
political activity and that Of Gen.
Eisenhower.
Take Different Courses.
Gen. Eisenhower has made it
clear that so long as he is In
uniform as North Atlantic Treaty
Organization commander, he will
not discuss political matters al
though he has made himself
available for the g. o. P. nomina-
ton If his friends can get it for
him
Although Gen. Macarthur was
relieved of his Pacific commands
by President Truman. the five-star
general remains technically on
active duty. assigned to the Chief
of Staff but stationed in New
York.
Thus far Gen. Macarthur has
rejected all invitations to address
purely political gatherings, limit
ing his appearances to civic
sponsored affairs and to address,
ing Congress and State legisla-
lures.
But the general is reported to
have written letters to some Office
holders making it clear he looks
with a great deal of friendly in
terest on the bid OF. Senator Taft,
Republican, of Ohio for the G.
o. P. nomination.
Selection to Be Delayed.
With this In mind, any invita-
ton to Gen. Macarthur to key
note the convention might meet
with opposition from within the
ranks OF the Eisenhower hackers.
The party's Executive Commit
tee will meet in San Francisco this
month, but is expected to delay
the selection of a keynoter until
April or May. -.
