Continued From First Pag,

the seating of a Texas delega-
ton that was cool to his can.
didacy.
The origins Of the Texas
struggle go back to 1852, when
Allan ShiverS, then Democratic
Governor Of the State, led a
mass migration Of Democrats
into the camp Of President
Eisenhower.
In that year, Senator John
son and Speaker Rayburn
worked with the "loyalists" in
the unsuccessful effort to hold
Texas for Adlai Stevenson. In
1856, they again joined forces
to take control of the State
convention away from follow
erS of Gov. Shivers.
Since then. however, relations
between the 'loyalists" ano
Senator johnson have cooled
considerably. Some of the
'loyaliSts" have charged that
Senator johnson is playing ball
with conservatives and friends
Of eX-Gov. Shivers inorder to
solidify his home State backing
for President.
The lineup Of forces in the
loyalty oath battle ranges from
one extreme of Texas politics
to the other. The demand for a
loyalty oath is strongly sup
ported by the State AFL-CIC
and as strongly opposed by
Freedom in Action, an ultra
conservative group.
Mr.. Connally, the State chair
man, said the official party
leadership is trying to take a
middle-of- -the-road position.
He wants and expects the
convention to readopt the
1858 "three-way loyalty reso-
luton"
That resolution pledged
members Of the convention to
support nominees of the party
at all levels, to work with the
duly elected party officers and
to accept the platform Of the
party.
Mrs. Randolph said she and
the other "loyalists" do not
regard the resolution as suffi-
cient. because it does not re-
quire a pledge Of loyalty from
each individual delegate.
Mrs. Randolph herself is not
sure Of a seat in the State
INVENTION. Her "loyalist"
group was defeated in the Har-
ris County (Houston) conven-
tion but will go to Austin along
with some 400 other trump"
delegates to claim a place in
the convention.
She faces an uphill fight
also for reelection as national
committeewoman. Mrs. R. Max
Brooks, now State vice chair
man, is the favorite of the
regular party organization to
succeed her.
The whole Texas situation is
reminiscent Of the fight be-
tween Taft and Eisenhower
forces in the State in 1852.
Just as Mrs. Randolph and the
"loyalists" are claiming this
year that renegade Republicans
are invading the Democratic
convention, so the followers of
the late Senator Taft claimed
in 1852 that renegade Demo-
Gratis were trying to steal places
in the Republican delegation
from real Republican" Taft
hackers.
Though they lost on the
State level, Eisenhower back
ers were able to use the Texas
"steal," as they called 1t, to
embarraSs Senator Taft at the
national convention.
There is a suspicion among
the friends of Senator John
son that his enemies on the
national scene, notably Demo-
cratic National Chairman Paul
M. Butler, may try to use the
current Texas fight for anti
johnson propaganda purposes.
Mrs. Randolph has been a
close ally Of Mr.. Buffers in his

Here is a musician who knows

ute to the memory of Chief
Musician Walter Penland, first
oboist Of the Navy Band, who
was one Of the fine musicians
killed in the recent tragic plane
crash.
The evening closed with the
Tchaikovsky Serenade in C, a
work that preserves a certain
vitality in spite Of its fustian,
largely because Of a waltz of
the the twinkle-toes variety, a
real speciality of that composer.
The orchestra sounded unus-
ually good. 1t was well bal
anced, played cleanly and in
tune, and the lower strings
came through with fine char
acteristic tone. I especially
liked the sound of the violas.

be better known as a composer.
Maria Stoesser, harpsichord-

the instrument used was rather

Mr.. Croxton. who lived at

In 1929 Mr.. Croxton came to
Washington and Joined the
Federal Government. His posts
included President Hoover's

Yesterdays impressive choral
vespers at the National Pres
byterian Church marked the
first local appearance of Clar-
ence Ledbetter, the church's new
t"choirmaster.
Mr.. Ledbetter comes to his
post from st. Paul's American
Episcopal Church in Rome, and
it will be recalled that his ap-
pointment caused Nation-w wide
headlines because it was re-
ported that he had been per-
Sonally secuted" by President
Eisenhower during his recent
trip to Europe.
Mr.. Ledbetter has a solid
background, including study in
California. Germany and italy,
and is a gifted organist as we'll
as a highly competent choral
man.
Anyone attempting to take
the place of the late Theodore
Schaefer in the musical life of
the Nations Capital has his
work cut out for him. Mr..
Schaeter built the chancel
choir Of the Presidents church
into one of the best in the city,
with a well-deserved national
reputation.
From yesterdays music. it
would seem that Mr.. Schaefer
has a worthy. successor. The
vespers were marked by a high
seriousness, a devotion, a skill
and a lack of meretriciousness
that bode we'll for the future.
Mr.. Ledbetter has been here
for just about six weeks, and
it is very difficult to estimate
his capabilities from a single
program. His performance of
the Pachelbel Prelude, Fugue
and Chaconne" was brilliant
and exciting: his direction of
chamber orchestra. chorus and
soloists in the Pachelbel. Schultz
and Padre Martini deft and
stylish.
1t will be interesting to see
what happens musically at the
National Presbyterian after Mr..
Ledbetter has a chance to i'm
press his musical personality

mand.
