He should have taken the advice of a j member of I is own party, Congressman James P. Richards, S.C., and resigned lung ago.” Wiley; said “reckless politicking” and “foul blow” attacks by the Democrats have done “severe damage to bipartisanship.” He said it is "clear” that the Deihocrats have tailed to make bipartisanship a “two-way street and have stuck a knife into the back of the bipartisan foreign policy."

Henry F. Schricker of Indiana or former undersecretary of the army Archibald Alexander of New Jersey would place Stevenson’s name before the convention. Walter Johnson, co-chairman of the Stevenson for president com- ' mittee, said the Illinois caucus was “last opportunity” Ito say flatly that he would turn down a draft. “die did not-say, nor imply, that he would refuse the call of the convention to. lead tjie Democratic ’ party this fall,” Johnson pointed out.

Republican State Committee Meets Holder Expected To v Submit Resignation ‘ I ] INDIANAPOLIS, UP —Cale J. Holder’s future as .Indiana Republican state chairman hung in balance today as the GOP stale committee rpet. Observers expected Holder to submit-his resignation. But it was considered possible the district chairmen and vicechairmert, who comprise the commihee, might rejept the > resignation- and give Holder a vote of confidence to retain the chairmanship. Holder suffered two setbacks since he was re-elected state ,chairnian in May. One came in the nomination of George N. Craig for governor and another in the nomination of Dwight D. Eisenhower for President. Holder delivered Jo 1 Taft the 30 Indiana votes which the senator garnered in the state convention. When other states switched their votes to the Eisenhower bandwagpn. Holder stood- fast and did not change the Hoosier vote; But like Holder, most members of the ktate ijtdmmittee favored Tlift. Thexl therefore, may not consider Taft’s defeat a rebuke to Holder’s leadership.
