To Make Last Run
AS an example of the reverence
the bluffs attach to this end Of
an era, the District chapter Of
the society will make the last run
from Charles Town, w. Va, to
Shenandoah.
Mr.. Libby and the chapter have
made the preservation and out
side display Of the steam loco
motive frequent subject on the
monthly agenda.
But they insist that the loco
motive be given full protection
from vandalism. He said in sew
eral instances children have SO
stripped and mutilated the en-
gines that the railroads took
them back for scrap.
This" he says with deep feel
ing, should never happen here. u
Throw Up Their Hands
The Smithsonian gave one
thought to displaying the engine
outside and promptly Joined the
National Capital Parks and Fine

their hands in holy horror, as
one spokesman put it.

was a chance Of success. The
South Carolina controversy re-
portedly has some elements of a
racial controversy but. according
to committee members, is pri-
marily a long-standing fight be-
tween two Republican State
factions.
Edgar Morris, Washington
businessman widely known as a
greeter of distinguished visitors,
is delegate on the Dow slate.
Mrs. Messervy has served as
National committeewoman for
16 years. She said j. Bates Ger

the same delegation and a Taft
supporter in 1852, had served
about as long.
She said Mr.. Hall had been to
South Carolina and tried to
make deals with me-" She said
she is still a Republican and will
vote for President Eisenhower.

The Credentials Committee
decided that Mrs. Messervy, Re-
publican national committee
woman from South Carolina,
failed to file the appeal within
the required time. Last week she
and other members of her Re-
publican faction in South Caro-
lima were turned down by the
Contest Committee in an at
tempt to prevent the seating Of
the Dow group.
Action Is Unanimous
The Credentials Committee
unanimously rejected Mrs. Mes
servy's move after Representative
Hugh D. Scott of Pennsylvania,
committee chairman. said the
appeal came too late.

Iservy said the dispute between
the two factions resulted mainly
from what she called an attempt
to purge" 1852 supporters of the
presidential nomination drive for
the late Senator Robert A. Taft

The possibility of a floor fight
developed last night when mem

Rules Committee, headed by
Gov. Theodore r. McKeldin of
Maryland, voted overwhelmingly
last night to retain 1852 con-
vention rule requiring that a
State delegation be polled if any
one member of the delegation
protests the chairman's an
nouncement of the total vote.
The National Committee pro-
posal would have given the con-
vention chairman discretion to
follow either of two courses If a
delegate took exception to the
correctness of the delegation
chairman's announcement.
Proposed Courses
Those proposed courses were:
81, The chairman of the con-
vention shall direct the roll of
members of such delegation to
be called and the result shall be
recorded in accordance with the
vote of the several delegates in
such delegation, or
80. The chairman, at his dis
cretion, may send an assistant
secretary to the delegation to
conduct a poll thereof. If an
assistant secretary is so sent. the
chairman of the convention may
direct that the roll call of the
States continue and the result
of the poll of any delegation
taken by an assistant secretary
will. in that event, be announced
by the chairman of the conven-
ton as soon as the poll of the
delegation is completed and re-
ported to the convention"
Gov. McKeldin said he and
his fellow committee members
felt that the little fellow ought
to have his day in the sun" and
not be denied an opportunity
to obtain a poll in plain view
and sound of the entire con-
vention.
Feared Delegates Ire
The Maryland Governor in
dicated the Rules Committee felt
such a departure from the 1852
rules would arouse some resent
ment among delegates who might
feel that the National Commit
tee was trying to tell the conven-
ton what to do on the polling
precedent.
