Washington Calling—
GOP Afraid Fight In Party Will Hurt Chance This Fall
By Scripps-Howard Newspapers
: WASHINGTON, July 5—Top GOP leaders are filled with fear and foreboding as they eye Chicago scrap. Bitterness between Taft and Eisenhower forces increases daily. Older politicians warn that it plays into Democratic hands, could mean GOP defeat in November. Taft offer to comprise on Texas delegates was due to alarm at chasm opening up in party. Eisenhower people rejected it, but they also fear November bitterness. Here's how things stand today: ce
Eisenhower:
His men at Chicago say they've got
Taft stopped on first ballot. They're putting out no state-by-state lists, but say they'll win eventually. Strategy calls for greatest convention floor battle since 1912. It comes Monday, on motion to bar all contested delegates from voting when temporary roll call is made up. If Ike forces win on this, they think they'll have a clear majority on convention credentials committee. Here's where they'll try to overturn rulings of GOP national committee, seat
their own southern delegations for the permanent roll call. There’s chance they can open this committee hearing to television, so whole country can see what's going on. And-—if this is done—balloting y be delayed for days. Committee has authority to hear all evidence fully, down to last rebel yell. . Taft: His latest claim is 565 votes—only 39 short of neces-

doesn’t include Michigan or Pennsylvania votes. (Looks now as if these are likely to turn up in Ike column). Also it counts none from California, Minnesota, Maryland—all fdvorite son states. It does include 30 from Texas, 17 from Georgia, 13 from Louisiana. Taft forces are using trick they learned from Dewey in 1948. They’re buttonholing delegates as they step off trains and planes. Each Ohio delegate and alternate has been made responsible for two doubtful delegates, has been supplied with background information on his two. Ohio delegate files written reports at Taft headquarters. Follow-up calls are made, if necessary, by another team, MacArthur: He could emerge GOP nominee despite his 72 years, some politicos say. If it looks like deadlock, he'd be first choice of some potent figures. Both Taft, Ike forces worry about effect on delegates of MacArthur's keynote
speech, Ike men worry less—
even toy with idea of having

early in roll call—to split Taft forces.
Steamroller Stopped AT CHICAGO: Taft steamroller was stopped once this week—by Mrs. Howard Coffin, GOP national committeewoms= an from District of Columbia. Mrs. Coffin was named to subcommittee on pooled TV and radio coverage of contest hearings. She's strongly proTaft, was supposed to cast deciding vote against letting in cameras, mikes. Instead, she voted other way. Ohio's Clarence Brown, taken by surprise, had ‘to whip up minority report, calling for closed sessions, and push it through full committee. National Chairman Gabriel. son, who named sub-commit-tee, either forgot, or didn't know, that Mrs. Coffin is TVminded. A son by her first husband is Thad H. Brown, director of a TV industry association. And his father once was chairman of Federal Communications Commission.
Ore Getting Short MOST SERIOUS aspect of steel strike: Iron-ore carriers on Great Lakes are idle too. Ore movement is already 10 million tons ‘behind normal. When lakes freeze over — for five months—it can’t be made up by rail. Pinch comes next winter. Industry men, seeking agreement with union to allow ore shipments to continue, have been sending frantic wires to ‘Acting Defense Mobilizer John R. Steelman. They've had no reply. : . C. M. White, president of Republic, says that if we're in shooting war next winter, ore losses already sustained would be grave; if strike continues, loss could be disastrous. Steel strike may cause shortage of canned foods next winter, too. Tin plate for cans is exhausted. Each week strike continues, 20 million cases of canned foods are lost. , Meanwhile: National Labor Relations Board is working over holiday week end to expedite hearings on complaint of the CIO United Steelworkers that the “Big Six” companies are violating Faft-Hart-fey Act by refusing to bargain. Union asks NLRB to seek
court Injunction against com-
panies for alleged conspiracy. It’s little-used procedure, but board has received 20 such re-
"quests during its life, has ob-
tained Injunctions in 10 cases.

Crop Support Zoom BRACE YOURSELF for vast government: farm price support program this fall, Crop surpluses are likely to set new records. Second largest wheat crop 1 history “may tie up billion dollars in government credit, to hold wheat off market. Agriculture Becretary Brannan could have held it down by warning wheat farmers that unless they voted production controls, price supports would be off. Instead, he ducked, merely urged voluntary cuts in planting, Significant fact is that no member of Congress concerned about farm vote criticized Brannan. ” Corn, cotton crops are expected to be near record. Oranges, vegetables — including potatoes—and poultry will be plentiful. Government's already buying eggs, may buy chickens and turkeys.
Because of ruckus raised
when potatoes were dyed and sold for animal feed, when powdered milk and eggs were stored in caves, government is starting now to push idea that surpluses are good things to have if war comes,
Congress to Quit CONGRESSMEN believe Truman means it when he said he'd call special session. Never-

Draft, plus some replacements from Army schools, will supply remainder. \

Top UN Brass Thinks Something Must Give
In Korea With Big R
Reds Must Use Their Air Force
Compiled From the Wire Services
Top-ranking United Nations commanders regard the next two weeks of the Korean War as critical, Keyes Beech, Times Special Correspondent, writes from Tokyo. They believe the Communist offensive will come during that period or not at all. They base
their calculations on the fact °
that the rainy season is now at hand and on the assumption “that the Reds won't be so stupid as to start another offensive without air support. Flying weather is growing steadily worse. Allied planes are now able to operate effec-
tively on only one out of three ’
days, Mr. Beech says. The rainy season, delayed, will hit its peak this month. It lasts from three to six weeks. About 40 per cent of Korea’s rain falls during this period.’ Eight inches of rain in 24 hours is not uncommon. “Of course, if the enemy doesn’t plan to use his air, the rain will be an advantage to him. Our own air will be han“~dicapped by the weather and since the enemy has less motor transport than we have he will be less dependent upon roads,” a three-star officer sald.

will launch’ a major attack without air support. His losses would be terrific—as ours would be if we attacked his prepared positions—and not even the Chinese can afford that many casualties.” Whether the Chinese do or do not attack there is a feeling in Tokyo that something must give in Korea in the next few weeks, says Mr. Beech. , The mysterious absence of the Red air force is causing more comment than its presence. MIG sightings have been on the decline for the past two months. Where the Reds used to put 200 planes into the air they now pug up two. When Allied planes hit the Suiho power plant—they hit it so hard they blasted one tur bine loose from its foundation and into the middle of the Yalu—208 MIGs were sighted
on the ground at Antung on .

Another tentative explanation is that>Russia isn't being so free with airplanes as it was and that the Chinese want to preserve what they have.

Big insurance companies, through the National Bureau of Casualty Underwriters, already have asked for a $6 boost in policies for Hoosierland. The state has refused, pending more information. However, state insurance officials expect they will have to grant all or part of the request eventually. States bordering on Indiana already have approved

Main reason for the proposed increase, according to state officials, is the fact that repair costs are going up.

Eviction
DR. GOLDEN P, SILVER, president of the County Commissioners, quietly has started wheels spinning to force three township assessors out of County Courthouse. Idea, he says, is to provide more space in overcrowded Courthouse by transferring operations of assessors for Washington, Warren and Wgyne Townships to their own areas Opposition to plan is forming among downtown real estate men who do extensive checking of records in these offices. They would be required to drive several miles to the new offices. On the other-hand, removal of the offices to the town-
ships would make them han-
dier to taxpayers. Another point is that offices would have to be rented in the townships, No rent is paid now for Courthouse space. Washington Township Assessof has tentatively arranged to set up office at 64th St. and Guilford Ave. with a rent of $150 a month. Plans are fo move Aug. 1 or Sept. 1. The office will request $2400 in next year’s budget for rent. “We're merely trying to solve. the space problem here,” Dr. Silver says. “We hope the people will leave willingly, but we can't throw them out.” ; Dr. Bilver said rooms of the three assessors in the Courthouse basement would be turned over to the Coroner or Plan Commission and other overcrowded offices.
