To Crusade Against Insecurity

course between the leading con-
vention candidates. sticking close
/ to his main job of lambasting the
administration. He covered the
field from corruption to Korea,
leaving few stones unturned in
Ibis indictment Of administration
mismanagement. In the course OF
his 55-minute address he was in
lterrupted IS times by applause.
Judged from purely dramatic
standards, it was a smashing per-
lformance. From the time he en-
tered the filled convention hall
until the last prayerful phrase,
the General had his audience In
the palm Of his hand.
The cheering got under way as
soon as temporary Chairman
lTIallanan introduced him as "the
greatest military leader the United
States had ever known"
It reached a crescendo as the
General. wearing a double -breast-
ed blue suit. strobe down the Gen.
ter aisle to the speakers rostrum
behind a double row of police
men. It built up steadily as the
General faced his audience, smil-
ing slightly.
He raised his hand and the
cheering got louder than ever.
Chairman Hallanan started
pounding his gavel with no effect.
It was not, of course, a very seri-
Gus attempt to cut of the dem
onstration. No effort was made
to silence the band at the rear of
the hall. 1t was several minutes
before the general started to
lspeak.
His voice, deceptively hoarse at
the beginning, soon rose to those
familiar dramatic cadences that
have made him the envy of many
actors of the classic tradition. AS
the resounding and carefully cal
lculated climaxes rolled forth, the
audience sat back happily to en-
Joy the show.
Give 'em hell. Mac" came a
shout from the rear of the hall.
ut wasn't exactly what you would
call a speech in the whistle-stop
tradition, but it had some Of the
elements.

evening when he turned to the
Korean war which he charged to

Sterilization officials said the
percentage of dismissals would be
higher in field Offices than in
Washington, since they feel a
strong central Office control staff
must be maintained.
The stabilization units will meet
Thursday. 1t hasn't been decided
whether to issue dismissal notices
Immediately or to lay off employees

CHICAGO, July 0.-Senate Re.
publican Floor Leader Bridges OF
New Hampshire warned the Re-
publican convention today that the
party will lose the November elec-
tion unless all factions close ranks
behind the man who finally wins
the nomination.
Facing up to the threat which
the bitter fight for the nomina-
|tion has created, Senator Bridges
said:
II call on Gen. Eisenhower, Gen
Macarthur, Gov. Stassen, Senator
Taft, Gov. Warren and all the
other leaders of our party to stand
with me before the bar of Amer
ican public opinion. It rests on
our shoulders, on all of us, to unite
and bring the Republican Party
to victory.
"A detection of loyalty to our
party could conceivably cause the
defeat of the Republican Party
and be the end of the two-party
system as we know it."
No Hint Of His Choice.
The New Hampshire Senator,
who gave no hint of a personal
choice between Senator Taft and
Gen. Eisenhower, said there are
some persons around both of the
leading candidates who ito fur
ther their own personal interests
and extreme views, would, it ap-
pears, bring discredit on the
character Of these outstanding
public servants"
Let us not permit the villifica-
ton and invective, which has been
hurled by these purveyors of
smear, besmirch the good name of
our party" he added.
Senator Bridges indicated he
sees the possibility of dark horse
finally coming in first. House Re-
publican Leader Martin of Massa-
chusetts said the same thing sew
eral days ago.
Senator Bridges said:

As Solicitor General
After 5-Year Term
Resignation Is Fourth
In Top Justice Posts
Since McGruth Custer
By Joseph A. Fox

The White House today an.
nounced the resignation of So
licitor General Philip B. Perlman
effective August Is.
In an exchange of letters, Mr.
Perlman recalled he had told
President Truman recently that
he was Just about to complete his
fifth year at the Justice Depart
ment "and I have come to the
conclusion that my service in my
Ipresent Office should come to ar
end"
The President, accepting the
resignation, told Mr.. Perlman that
you have been a most successful
solicitor general" and expressed
regret that he is leaving the Gov
ernment.
Mr.. Perlman's departure will
Iconstitute the fourth top-leveI
change in the department since
Attorney General James P. Nc
Granery took over after the re-
moval of j. Howard McGrath.
Filled McGrath Spot.
He was Acting Attorney Gen
eral during the period between the
time Mr.. McGrath left and Mr.
Met cGranery took over. Mr.. Perl
man argued President Truman's
case in the steel seizure issue be-
fore the Supreme Court.
In his letter of resignation, Mr.
Perlman said that by mid-August
the vacation schedule Of those in
his Office will have progressed to
the point where the work of pre-
pairing for the fall term Of the Su-
preme Court can be continued
without interruption.
On this particular point, Mr.
Perlman said:
"I wish all the people of thu
country could appreciate the fac
that neither of the two Attorney.
General who headed the Depart.
ment of Justice during the five
terms of the Supreme Court since

morning to plead his cause. He
gave in detail his argument in
support of the Taft delegations
from those three States.
Last week the delegations were
Iput on the temporary role of the
convention by the Taft-controlled
Republican National Committee.
Yesterday. however, the conven-
tion by a vote of 658 to 548 de-
clined to allow the delegations to
take part in the proceedings of
the convention until their status
has been finally determined.
Their cases are being heard by
the convention Credentials Com
mittee today.
Majority Favors Taft.
The Credentials Committee has
a majority of members favorable
to Senator Taft-27 to 24-and is
expected to recommend that the
Taft delegations be placed on the
permanent role of the conven-
ton. In that case a minority re-
port by the Eisenhower camp will
be carried to the floor of the con-
vention and the final test will
come there.
The Eisenhower leaders are not
letting the grass grow under their
feet. They expressed confidence
they would have as large, or per-
haps an even larger, majority in
the convention vote on the con-
tested delegates. The showdown
in the convention will come either
tonight or tomorrow morning.
The consensus here is that Gen.
Douglas Macarthur is, for the
time being, out of the picture as
"a presidential nominee.
There has been high praise for
his keynote address, delivered to
cheering thousands at the conven-
ton last night. But delegates in
sist that there has been no SEM
blance of a stampede to the gen.
eral.
Visit California Delegates
The Taft meeting with the
California delegates had been
previously arranged. That delega-
tion, 70 strong, was called on by
both Senator Taft and Harold
j.. Stassen at the delegations
headquarters today. Gen. Eisen-
hover is to call on the delegation
tomorrow. It is unusual for presi-
Dental candidates to call on dele
cations. Instead, the delegations
usually call on the candidates.
The case of the California dele
cation. however, is something
special. It is pledged to Gov.

CHICAGO, July 8.-Eisenhower
advocates charged before the Re-
publican National Conventions
Credentials Committee today that
the Florida G. o. P. State Com
mittee cold bloodedly hand-picked
IA Taft slate of 18 delegates.
In their drive to wrest disputed
delegates from the Taft forces, the
Eisenhower spokesmen from Flor
ida asserted that the regular"
1S-member delegation approved by
the Republican National Commit
tee last week did not represents
the Republican rank and file in
Florida.
They declared also that the
State Committees method of se-
lection without primaries or dis,
trict convention violated the spirit
|of the State law.
The Florida conflict was the
first to come up as the Credentials
Committee opened momentous
hearings on appeals by the Eisen-
hover as we'll as Taft camps from
rulings by the National Committee
last week on disputed delegations
in seven states.
Argument Over Spectators.
The Credentials Committee ses-
sion, unlike the National Com
mittee hearing on the delegates
controversy. was being broadcast
and televised. The meeting, how
ever. not only got off to a delayed
start but was almost disrupted
at the beginning by an argument
over admission of spectators and
others.
Security regulations at the OUT
set were so strict that many Of
the Credentials Committee mem
bers as well as convention dele
gates and newspaper reporters had
considerable difficulty in entering
the hall in the Congress Hotel.
When tempers began to flare
inside and outside of the meeting
room. former Representative Ross
Ridley of Oklahoma, the commit
tee chairman. smoothed out the
situation by ordering the sergeant
at arms to admit every one pos
sible without needless red tape.
He further eased tension by an
nouncing that committee mem
bers would have luncheon in an
adjacent room.
Hearings to Take Day.
The hearings were almost GER
tain to take up the entire day.
The committee hoped to submit
its findings to the convention to.
night. Which ever way it rules,
particularly on the Texas, Louisi-
ana and Georgia contests. a floor
fight seemed inevitable.
The Taft forces held a slim con.
troll of the Credentials Committee,
as was shown last night when they
managed to elect Mr.. Ridley, a
Taft supporter, chairman by q rs
to 20 vote.
Obviously feeling their ground
carefully, the Taft supporters on
the Credentials Committee made
no serious issue when attorneys
for the so called grass roots"
Florida delegation favorable to
Gen. Eisenhower introduced q
witness who had not testified be-
fore the national committee.
Chairman Ridley explained that
the Credentials Committee was
not supposed to take new testi-
mony unless two-thirds of its
members so voted.
Miss Mildred Coogan, an attrac-
tive blond. was called by the Els
enhower faction to testify that the
State committee in Florida gave
no Republicans in her district an
opportunity to express their pref
erences for delegates to the ma
tional convention.
