Texas delegation but expected a
fight on the floor from COM
peting contingent, group sup
porting Gov. Alan Shivers.
Were not through yet," said
Joe Pyle Of Fort Worth after
the group he headed was re-
jected by the credentials COM
mittee last night. you'll hear
more about this on the conven-
ton floor"
The credentials group voted,
6-2, to seat what was considered
the "anti-Gov. Shivers" delega-
ton. Five committee members
abstained from voting. Ralph
BoleS of West Virginia, commit
tee chairman, said the group ap-
proved appeared to better rep
resent Texas Young Demo-
crats."
Gov. Shivers. although a Dem
ocrat. supported Gen. Eisen-
hover in the presidential cam
paign.
William Mcknight, Dallas,
head of the seated delepation
hailed the vote was encourage
ment for "a stronger Demo-
cratic organization in Texas"
'Dissenters on the committee
said they expect to file a minor
ity report to the convention
recommending that the Shivers
delegation be seated.
The resolutions committee
recommended home rule for the
voteless District of Columbia.
In the meantime, conserva-
tive-liberal fight for control of
the organization appeared shap-
ing up. Robert Lucas of Gary,
Ind, Endorsed as candidate for
the national presidency by a con-
servative caucus last August,
decided to be an active aSpirant.
Neil Smith of Des Moines had
been the only formally an
nounced candidate. Some South
ern States feel Mr.. Smith is too
liberal"
