South Race Issue Aids Dewey Cause

Taft Gets Setback

In Commitiee Vote By EARL RICHERT

Soripps-Howard Stall Writer PHILADE June

The race issue in the South played a major role in getting the Dewey bandwagon rolling at the Republican National Convention here, it was learned today. It was one of those unexpected little things which often turn out to be of crucial importance. Sen. Taft was the victim and Gov. Dewey the benefactor, but neither was responsible for what hap-

ned. The Taft forces were carrying

their appeal from a Roe] National Committee ruling to| seat a pro-Dewey group of 18 Gsprgia delegates instead of a : aft slate. : ‘Taft Forces Confident The Taft forces had Countéd noses and were confident, The Dewey people had their own estimates and were worried.
