Crosby, Garland
FavOrites for
Oscar Awards

HOLLYWOOD, R-An all-im-
portant factor-a split in the big
studio today made Oscar
favorites Of Bing Crosby, Judy
Garland, and the picture "The
Country Girl"
The nominations were witnessed
Saturday night throughout the
nation over NBC-TV as will. the
Academy Award finals on March
80.
Prior to the nominations, CroS-
by, the tipsy-has-been actor. of
THE Country Girl" and Marion
Rrando, the punchy pug Of "On
the Waterfront" were rated neck
and neck favorites.
But the nominations presented
Brando solid opposition from
within his own studio. Humphrey
Bogart, Capt. Queeg Of "The
Game Mutiny," also was nomin-
ated. Both Waterfront" and
"Caine" are Columbia pictures.
Although Academy voters try
to forget old school loyalties in
the selections, it is only human
that many of them vote according
to their studios product.
That gives Crosby. a slight edge
in the top actor classification be-
cause he is Paramount's only en-
try. Apparently the studio is be-
hind him 10 man, which would
explain the surprise absence Of
William Holden from the nomi-
nees. Holden co-starred with
Crosby in Country Girl"
Besides Bogart, Crosby and
Brando, the other top actor nom
inees are James Mason GA Star
Is Born'D and Dan O'Herlihy
c'The Adventures of Robinson
Crusoe0.

WASHINGTON, tR-The Dem
ocrats today set July % as the
date for their 1856 convention to
open in Chicago unless some
states change their laws mean
time to permit a later opening
date.
National Chairman Paul M.
Butler announced a study of state
election statutes. showed it would
be impractical to hold up the con-
vention until Aug. 49,, as tenta-
lively planned earlier. Some
states, he explained, require GER
LITIGATION Of the presidential can
didates anywhere from 70 to go
days before Election Day.
The national committee said
the states which would have to
change their laws to make an
Aug. Is convention date partic-
ularly include South Dakota, Con-
necticut and Massachusetts,.
Butler said reaction to the idea
of a late convention date and a
shorter campaign had been favor
able and he was suggesting to
Democratic leaders they study the
possibility of changes in state
laws which stand as a barrier to
this.

Congressman Would Add
Alaska to Washington,
Hawaii 90 California

WASHINGTON, PA Califor-
MIA congressman yesterday pro-
posed this solution to the state
hood dispute: make Hawaii part
of California and Alaska part Of
the State of Washington. q
"The proposal is bound to mud
dy up even more the already con-
fused and complicated statehood
argument" Rep. Hosmer R-CaIff)
said in announcing he would in
troduce bill today to carry this
out.
However, the second-terrn mem
Der declared, his solution is worth
studying because neither Hawaii
nor Alaska has produced "a clear
and convincing argument for
statehood" while each has shown
that territorial status is not to
their advantage"
Hosmer said in statement that
no one he has talked with about
the bill has been enthusiastic
about it-"everyone seems to
have taken sides violently for or
against statehood" Even .Califor-
mans are probably opposed to an
nexing Hawaii, he said.
Strong opposition will come
from Texas" Hosmer added, ''be-
cause the measure would allow
California and Washington to be-
come bigger than the Lone Star

TAIPEH, Formosa, R-Gener-

pressed determination today to

made it plain he expects the Uni

Contrary to some reports, the
Nationalist Defense Ministry an
nounced it had no intention of
evacuating Nanchishan, 40 miles
north Of Formosa and now the
main northern Nationalist outpost
The ministry said a small num-
Der of dependents and civilians
had been removed and more
would be removed, but no troops
would be withdrawn.
NanchiShan is % miles from the
maitland. When newsmen visited
the island last year about 1000

he faced the largest news confer

evacuation operation was punctu-
ated by three hours of Commu-
mist Smelling of Quemoy, 100 miles
