Henry F. Schricker, titular head of the party, tbps the Hoos-1 ifers. 'I The Republicans/trudged home,! the riiajority down in the dumps because Sen. Robert A. Taft lost the light for No. ; .1 spot on the national ticket. ; iWt’s loss foreshadowed what may amount to a complete overhaul, of tlhe Indiana Gt)P |ion: It virtually lifted State Chair-j man Cale J. Holder out of the job to which he was re-elected only two months ago for two more years. Holder said earlier he would re- [ sigjn if Eisenhower were nominated. But he held off any formal resignation or announcement pending > an early meeting of his state comjmiltee. . / \ - 1 Hofder aird 29 other Taftites in the 32-fnember Hoosier delegation atucVwith Taft even after he lost; !

J ; Korean War, Truce Talks Hos Issues I '■' , ' J I■: ... ■ Counter Attack On G. 0. P. Rlatform WASHINGTON, UP — Administration foreign policy Experts and Democratic party strategjists are digging up what they hope will be convincing answers !to Republican complaints abqut the Korean war. 4 The intensive search for a counter attack against the GQP platform reflects administration belief that the wat and | the year-long truce talks with the Communists will be a hot issue in the. forth coming presidential campaign. Informed sources say the administration, fr6m President Truman and secretary of Dean Acheson on down, is willing to air its -«ide of the- Korean! issue, regardless of whether 1 a truce is achieved durjng the : summer. Advance word on 'the administration’s counter-offensive indif cates that answers to the GOP charges will be pinned jto Republican statements* and actions before and after the war began on June 25, 1950. The foreign policy* plank approved by the Republican convention last week charged the administration with pulling Occupation troops Out of Korea too soon, declaring that Korea "was bf no concern to us/’ and theri deciding to fight back. Jt also coinplained of “hampering orders’’ producing "stalemates and ignbmitiious bartering’’ which offer “no hope of yictory.’’

Two, Calls Answered By Fire Department Two fires brought out city firemen over the weekend; the first, Saturday night about 7 o’clock, was a lumber on Elm and Thirteenth Streets belonging to Mike Biberstein of 1121 Elm street. Firemen battled the/ blaze for three hours, but it was totally destroyed. Biberstein estimates the loss at 11,500. The second fire happened Sunday night at about 10 o’clock just under the Monroe street bridge. Trash and weeds at the foot of a tree had caught fire, phssibly, fire reports say, through carelessness with a cigaret. It was put out in 15 minutes with no loss incurred.
