match at last night's big Republic

the "stalemate war" in Korea.
Speeches on behalf of individ-
ual candidates for the presidential
nomination were banned, but dem-
onstrations on their behalf werej
permitted. And that's where the
trouble started.
Taft forces bearing placards,
with pictures of the Ohio Senator
began parading the aisles of the
gymnasium soon after the door?
opened at 6 p. m. EST.
They had the floor to themselves
for half an hour before three Eis-
enhower banners appeared. In a
moment of exuberance, some of
the Taft marchers tried to shove
their placards in front of the Eis-
enhower banners, for the benefit
of photographers. The Eisenhower
forces resisted. The pushing and
ihoving followed.
For a moment, some observers
thought there might be a real
fight. But cooler heads intervened,
and the rival demonstrators went
their separate ways with nothing

Daniel Warns Of
Tidelands Import
NEW YORK, Feb. 5 (U.PJ—Texas
attorney general IVice Daniel
warned New York. New Jer3ey and
other*states today that they will
lose as much as Texas if the "fed-
eral tidelands grab" is not stopped
by Congress.
Speaking on the Columbia
Broadcasting System's television
program, "Chronoscope," Daniel
said that the U. S. Supreme Court
has ignored Texas' "Treaty" with
the United States in deciding a-
gain3t the state in the tidelands'
oil dispute.
Daniel, a Democrat who is run-
ning for a U. S. Senate seat, said
his state had a solemn annexation
agreement in whiflli it retuin"d all
its unsold lands before it consent-
ed to enter the union in 1845.
"The Supreme Court ignored our
treaty and refused to hear evi-
more than ruffled dignities and a
few dirty looks to show for the
encounter.
dvnee," lie
He pointed out that New York
alone has spent millions of dollars
on porta and other improvements
which lie below low tide along its
Atlantic 3hores. He said that every
state has submerged land and val-

and other navigable waters which

Dabs Of Paint On
Cardboard Good
VANCOUVER, B. C„ Feb. 5 'UJ .
—A 17-year-old artist admitted
today that an abstract painting
which a Toronto art gallery offic-
ial had praised was only a piece
of cardboard on which commercial
painters hurl cleaned their brushes.
Bob Nealess sent the cardboard
to the Toronto gallery for exhi-
bition under the title "Melancholia
in The S amp."
He got back a letter from an art
gallery official expressing interest
in the work.

Here's what the $51.2 billion which the President wants tor mili-
tary spending in fiscal year 1953 means in terms of actual combat
strength. Lion's share of the breakdown goes to the Air Force,
with $11 billion to be spent for planes to build U. S. airpower to
more than 100 wings, toward an eventual goal of 143 wings. The
Navy gets the second of 10 planned super-aircraft carriers, and the
Army expands to 3,700,000 men, up 2,100,000 since the Reds
attacked Korea. President Truman warned Congress future mili-
tary budgets will carry the same astronomical figures, with no cuts
in sight before fiscal 1955.
