Holder Will Resign As State GOP Chief Due to lke Victory

By IRVING LEIBOWITZ Times Staff Writer

CHICAGO, July 12—Cale C. Holder will resign as Indiana Republican State Chairman The Indianapolis Times learned today.

Missed Boat Deliberately Indiana Republicans missed the presidential nomination boat deliberately by refusing to join the various states in climbing aboard the Ike victory special. The Hoosier delegation was invited—and refused—to change its vote and put the General over the top, as Minnesota had done.
