BY The Assoeiotsd Press

CHICAGO, Feb. 18.-The Re-
publican National Committees
selection Of San Francisco over
Chicago as the 1856 convention
city was criticized yesterday by
a sponsor of a recent rally of
conservative q. O. P. members.
Edgar c. Bundy. president Of
the Abraham Lincoln National
Republican Club, said in a state
ment: I'VE do not believe that
any one in the national COM
mittee has the right to attempt
to use us as a scapegoat because
Chicago was bypaSsed In favor
of San Francisco for the ma
tional convention"
President Eisenhower was
credited by some g. o. P. COM
mitteemen with having sup
ported the selection Of San Fran
cisco. This was regarded by
some Republican Party leaders
as a rebuff to Midwest Repub-
licans who have criticized his
policies and administration.
However, Chairman Leonard w.

It will be the forerunner Of

The flying radar stations are

been operating from Mcclellan

The radar planes at Otis, each
equipped with 512 tons Of cleo
tronic equipment. will provide
extra time for the Atlantic Sea-

The ground radar stations now
in operation have a maximum
range of about 200 miles. They
have blind spots that might let

will have no blind spots.
The Navy is reported to be
