Chicago, July 14. — Shouting,
wrangling, fighting in dead ear
nest both behind the scenes and on
the storm-swept floor of Chicago’s
International Ampitheatre, the Re
publican party last Friday not on
ly nominated Dwight D. Eisenhow
er as its presidential candidate but
handed him the generalship of a
battle that promises to be as rig
orous as any he has ever waged.
For to him goes top leadership
now in the immediately necessary
task of unifying and solidifying the
party itself which was rent and
torn in the furious factional strug
gle last week between the Taft and
Eisenhower forces.
The man ‘whom General Eisen
hower and his cohorts picked for
the vice - presidential nomination
waS young, liberal Sen. Richard M.
Nixon of California, only 39 years
old, —.
As the only name proposed to
the convention for the vice-presi
dential post, Nixon was given the
nomination by the noisy acclama
tion of the delegates, who thus
completed their quadrennial task
for the party.
Nixon, who previously had been
rumored to be the Eisenhower
choice, first attained national
prominence as a member of the
house un-American activities com
mittee in the forefront of the in
vestigation and conviction of Alger
Hiss on a perjury charge.
The Eisenhower - Nixon ticket
represents the internationally -
minded segment of the Republican
party, and its selection by the con
vention can be regarded in no oth
er way than as a definite repudia
tion of the old-line GOP thinking.
control of the hall.
From Alabama's 14 votes, down
through the list of states and ter
ritories to the Virgin Islands’ one
vote, the call droned on, with Eis
enhower piling up the steady lead
that had been consistently his
during the balloting on previous
issues during the week.
The delegations held the lines
that were pretty much expected of
them. Illinois, representing the in
tensely partisan Taft-Dirksen line
of thought, cast 59 votes for Taft,
I for Eisenhower. To each of its
oprn California handed its TO votes
in a block to Gov. Earl Warren.
Michigan went 35 for Eisenhower,
II for Taft.
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New
York, was given a minor ovation
xvhen he announced his state’s vote
—a . massive 92 for Eisenhower, 4
for Taft. The dogged Ohio delega
tion was giyen a .hand also when
Chairman Sen. John Bricker deliv
ered all 56 votes for Taft.
As the call went on, Eisenhow
er’s lead grew steadily, but never
theless it was apparent as the bal
loting drew to a close that he
w’ould not have enough for the
simple majority of 604 needed to
secure the nomination. *
When the roll call reached the
Virgin Islands and the final vote
was cast the totals stood at 595 for
Eisenhower, 462 for Senator Taft.
It was at that point that the
spokesman for the Minnesota dele
gation sought and received recog
nition from Sen. Joseph Martin,
•permanent chairman of the con
vention.
During the regular balloting
Minnesota had cast 9 votes for
Eisenhower and 19 for its favorite
son, Harold Stassen. Now. at this
moment, the delegates sat in shock -

four or five days virtually elimi

struggle on the convention floor.
The i compromise civil rights
plank, as adopted, deplored racial
bigotry and religious prejudice,
but did not go so far as to put teeth
into the denunciation by openly
advocating a fair employment
practices law.
Both Taft and Eisenhower joined
in approving the foreign policy
section of the plaftorm which con
sisted to a great extent of an ex
coriation of the policies practiced
by the present Demrocratic ad
ministration.
The Republicans pledged an end
to the waste, spending and cor
ruption with which they have re
peatedly charged the Democrats.
“By the Administration’s ap
peasement of Communism at home
and abroad it has permitted Com
munists and their fellow travelers
to Serve in many key agencies and
In infiltrate our American life,”
the plaftorm stated.
Then, showing the reverse side
of the “coin of patriotic American
ism,” the platform claimed that
“TheFe are no Communists in the
Republican party,’ ’and that a Re
publican president will appoint
only ‘ persons of unquestioned loy
alty,” will overhaul federal loyalty
and security programs in coopera
tion with congress, and will coordi
nate all intelligence services.

the general a total of 614, 10 mor'

Actually, the speed with which
the switch occurred caused the
actual fact of Eisenhower’s nomi

climactic. The delegates cheered

oratorical soul-searching.

MacArthur, the old soldier of the
Old Guard, whose speech was
conceived largely in terms of de
nunciation of the Truman adminis
tration
Appearing as he did on the plat
form only a few hours after the
initial roil call defeat of the Taft
forces Mondav afternoon on the so-
called Fair Play amendment, Mac
Arthur, who represented the Taft
point of view, lost a little of his
usual effectiveness in teh face of
the trend to Eisenhower which al
ready had begun to grip the dele-
| gates.
Still, he received a thunderous
ovation when he made his appear
ance in the hall, and was solidly
cheered at points throughout his
address when he lashed out at the
administration for fostering “a for
eign policy as tragically in error
as its domestic policy” and, with
reference to Korea, for entering a
war “without the will to win it.”
Yet, even MacArthur’s reception
paled a little in comparison with
the roof-raising volume of ap
plause and cheers that the conven
tion accorded to ex-Prcsident Her
bert Hoover at the Tuesday eve
ning session.
Calm, dignified, supported by
long years of political experience
and an innate sense of realism, the
old statesman was interrupted by
shouts of “No, no,” when he said,
“fYom the inexorable course of na
ture, this is likely to be the last
time I shall attend your conven
tions.
He, too, attacked the Democratic
administration’s foreign and do
mestic policies and referred to
“the drip, drip, drip from dishonor
in high places ” The rafters shook
when he reached the climax of his
address with, “I am not ashamed
to say that our first duty is to de
fend the United States . . . I do
not propost that we retreat intu
our shell like a turtle. I do pro
pose the deadly reprisal strategy
of a rattlesnake.”
With most of the speeches out
of tae way, the convention briefly
•took up the matter of its platform,
approving it so swiftly as to seem
almost casual in its attitude.
