San Francisco more than a week
ago.
It was obvious, however, that
the Governor, who has some
thing of a reputation as a force
full orator, didn't want to let this
convention get by without hear
ing him. He even had a special
speech prepared, parts of which
he plans TO use in a Press Club
address here tonight.
His selection as one of the
|seconders came this week at
about the same time that the
Governor called a halt to his
McKeldin-for-Vice President"
boomlet.
Two Other Bids Reported
Although he denies there is
ANY connection between his with
drawal and his selection as a
seconding speaker. it fits in with
earlier reports that National Re-
publican Chairman Leonard w.
Hall had offered Gov. McKeldin
two other speaking assignments.
both of which he rejected.
The first offer was to second
Vice President Nixons nomina-
ton. Gov. McKeldin. who nomi-
mated President Eisenhower in
1852, was offended by this propo-
sition. 1t also is understood that
he looks upon Mr.. Nixon as a
political liability in the Free
State.
Under the second deal, re-
portedly offered to Gov. Nickel
din when he was still threaten
ing to disrupt the well-rehearsed
harmony of this convention. hi.
supporters were supposed to put
his name in nomination, and
then he would take the plat
form to withdraw in Mr.. Nixon's
favor, after delivering himself of
10 or Is minutes of oratory.
The Maryland Governor turned
down the second proposal as an
obvious sham after consulting
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-08-23

with his friend, former Cow
Thomas E. Dewey of New York.
So the seconding speech he
made last night apparently was
the best spot the Maryland Chief
Executive could obtain for him
self. It was plainly not COM
pletely to his liking. a
He was told to limit his re-
marks to two minutes, and to-
cover the advancements of the
Eisenhower administration In
the field of state sovereignty.
] A man of many words. Gov
McKeldin came up with pre-.
pared speech closer to. five min
utes long.
Convention leaders edited it
sharply, cutting out such Nc
Keldinisms as:
On the desolate beaches
of decentralization, the dreary
dunes of excessive power in which
all of the tryrannical dictator
ships of history have found their
roots"
1.-THE long-lost, but rediscov-
cred and recharted road to the
land of the brotherhood of man."
"A bevy of bureaucrats."
Even with all the cuts and a
delivery so rapid that some parts
were 'lnclear, the speech still
went over the two minute mark.
taking precisely three minutes
and five seconds. -
In that three minutes and five
seconds, Gov. McKeldin praised
President Eisenhower and said he
had reversed the treacherous
trend toward depressing State
sovereignty.
He said the President has given
America a Federal Government
which respects the rights Of
States"
The convention speech editors
did allow the governor to employ
another of his favorite oratoricai

consideration of the Foster case
grew out the disclosure in The
Star last April of the so-called
Brucker directive which banned
MISREPRESENTATION. kinship and
character reference in military
personnel security cases. The
order made it clear that for an
individual to be found to be a
risk it must be shown that he
is "motivated or influenced by,
or sympathetic to subversive aims
or ideologies."
Following The Star story, the
Seattle Urban League wired Mr..
Brucker urging that he recon-
slider the Foster case in light of
his own directive. Mr.. Brucker
named a representative to meet
with league officials to discuss
the case. 1t was then that the
Army received new affidavits
supporting Mr.. roster.
The original charges against
Mr.. Foster were these: That he
was a member of the Albina Vic
tory Club of Vanport, Oreg..
said to be a branch of the Com
munist Party, in 1914; that he
ATTENDED Red meetings in Port
land in 1913; that he resided
with and associated with one
Robert Cannady. alleged to be
ia card-carrying Communist. and
that he gave the Rev. F. Benja-
min Davis as a character refer
Ience.
The Army said Mr.. Davis was
listed in a left-wing newspaper
as a sponsor of a dinner for Paul
Robson, given under the au-
spices Of the Joint Anti-Fascist
Refugee Committee, an organi-
zation cited by the Attorney
General.
In his testimony before the

to make clear to Congress the

President the point of view OF

do we want to see Ike's

the cheering delegates. "All

down happily on the connection

Mr.. Martin was more kindly:
IF you really want Nixon, -
he advised. you'd better let us
lget on with the business of the
convention. Thank you very
much I would hope that the
Young Republicans would show
themselves good citizens and
retire"
The drama was not over, how
ever. AS the seconding speeches
got underway. the feeling of ten
sion settled back on the hall.
Fifth on the list of scheduled
speakers appeared the name of
Harold StasSen. And many of the
leaders were frankly apprehen-
sive of what the reaction of the
crowd might be when the man
who for several weeks had tried
hard to block Mr.. Nixon's NOM
ination came up before the con-
vention for his crow-eating act.
The feeling of uneasiness
mounted as Undersecretary of
Commerce Walter Williams;
Timothy j. Murphy, former
commander-in-cnief of the Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars; Senator
Bricker of Ohio and Undersec-
rotary of Labor J. Ernest Wilkins
rose to make their secondinp
speeches.

Its a good thing the Delegates at the Constitutional Convention have already made their decision as to where the capital is to be located. l received letter from 8 Spenard- ite lis that what you call them?) in which he advocates Tok as the hklieSt place to have the govern ment seat located for the new state of Alaska. He plead that il is cen trally located as to population and as to geography Whether logical or not, there are very few capital sites chosen for either reason. He also mentions accessible" as an- other reason. because you can drive there. Kodiakans would have a little difficulty in this respect. The writer mentions a ferry to the Mainland which, to US is like a bridge to dreamland.

 The writer says: '"Tok is about forty miles closer to Fairbanks than to Anchorage but I am sure the people of Anchorage can make up for it by driving. faster" An ehurage people may be faster than other people, but my experience driving the road between did not suggest greater speed. but more caution Travelling at excessive speeds in some places, you could write short book entitled From 2 Bier to Eternity" if they could find your body. No doubt the people, when they vote, will back up the Delegates in their choice.
