Threaten Floor Fight
Negro delegates to the Republi-
can convention had threatened a
convention floor fight unless the
civil rights plank \^as beefed up
considerably.
They were willing to accept a
party pledge to a non-compulsory
FKIC but insisted that the agency
must have broad investigatory au-
thority, including the power to sub-
pena witnesses.
One member of the platform
group. Sen. Richard M. Nixon (R-
Calif.). said "I fear there will be
a floor fight" unless a stronger
civil rights plank is adopted. Nixon
.-aid he thought a "voluntary
FEPC** w ith power to subpena wit-
nesses is "the least we can do."
Eisenhower gave "unqualified
endorsement" to the foreign policy
plank, and Taft voiced agreement
with its principles. It endorses col-
lective security and denounces iso-
lationism.
lioth candidates reportedly were
less than 100 per cent pleased with
the defense plank but agreed to
accept it in principle. It calls for
balanced forces — an Eisenhower
"must" — with emphasis on air
power — Taft's pet idea.

The platform would commit the
party to ending economic controls
wherever possible. It would oppose
rent control "except in those areas
where expansion or defense produc-
tion has been accompanied by a
critical housing shortage."
Flexible Farm Plan
It denounces the Brannan farm
plan and calls for a flexible farm
price support system aimed at tOO
per cent parity in the market place.
It proposes a "reasonable deple-

persons engaged in production of
natural resources like oil. '
It calls for a cost-of-living ad-

for extension of all such benefits
to veterans of the Korean cam-

functions from the veterans admin-
istration, as proposed by the Hoo-
ver commission.
The document is most bitter in
its attack on alleged toleration by
the Democrats of Communists and

Showdown on Russ
Looms
Berlin; July a <u —The Unit
ed States seemed headed for show-
down with Russia Wednesday on
the Communist kidnaping of a
prominent anti-Red from West
Berlin.
Maj. Gen. Lemuel E. Mathewsr i,
American commandant in Berlin,
sent a sharp demand Tuesday
night to S. A. Dengin, chief of the
Soviet control commission in Ber-
lin, for the retur.i of kidnaped
Dr. Walter Linse.
"i must warn you that i regard
this act, which could only have
been curried out with the direct
r^siitance of forces under your
jurisdiction, us intolerable and one
which must be rectified," Mathew-
so" said.
Dr. Linse, a prominent member
of the a-.rt i-Communist under-
ground movement, was kidnaped
outside his West Berlin home
Tuesday by three men bel: ved to
be East German secret police ag-
ents who slugged him, dragged
him into a waiting taxi and fled
with him into the Soviet zone of
Germany despite a hail of bullets
from pursuing oolice cars.
Mathewson said Soviet zoae po-
lice raised the zonal border bar-
rier to facilitate the kidnap car's
entry. ,
GOP Farm Policy
Is Attacked
BRYAN. July 8 Agricul-
ture commissioner John C. White
attacked the farm price policy of
the Republican party as "the
groundwork for a second great de-
pression," in a speech to the Tex-
t's Pecan Grower? annual conven-
tion Tuesday night.
White said price supports, while
•.lot as desirable as the ideal meth-
od of supply and demand, have
proved sound economically under
present day .conditions.
He said the Republican propos-
al to put farm support prices on
a sliding scale basis instead of
fixed by law places farmers at
the mercy of the "whims of pro-
Cox Cardinals Ease Into First Place
With Defeat Of Ewing Christian Club
The Jack Cox Cardinals, peren-
nial leaders in Breckenridge Little
League baseball, eased into first
place position of the second half
of this season's play, with a 6-4
defeat over the Hwiag-Christian
sponsored t ubs.
But it wasn't till the last putout,
on a Cub runner trying for a score
at home, that anyone was sure of
the- outcome.
A run in each cf the first two
innings give the Cardinals an ad-
vantage that Cub batters overcame
in the third, with two runs, and
passed in the fifth, with another.
Then at the top of the sixth,
with the score 3-2 in the Cubs fa-
vor, everything happened. When
the dust had cleared three cent-
ers had been added to the Card
score, making it 5-3.
It looked like curtains for the
Cubs, then it seemed tv over-
whelming triumph, and finally it
ended in curtains after all, and
everyone sighed as the tension
subsided.
The first Cub at the plate dur-
ing the bottom of the sixth was
fanned. Then a walk put cm one
man, a single put on two, and
another walk loaded the bases.
The next batter lined one to
second, driving in a run, but was
thrown out at first himself. Pitch-
er Pete Tritble loaded the bases
again, for the second time that
inning, with a walk.
With a 2-2 count on the follow-
ing batter Tribble threw one over
the catcher's head, and in came
the runner from third base. Only
he hadn't reckoned with the speed
of catcher Charles Huddleston,
who was waiting at the plate, ball
in glove, when the runner slid.
Tribble gave only three hits,
walked eight and fanned six, but
was hexed by four wild pitches.
Curtis Cozart takes the loss. He
gave eight hits and two free pass-
fessional politicians, bureaucrats
and corporate r.iterests.'"
es. and struck out three.
In the first inning three Card
bits, a walk, and a hit by a pitched
ball loaded the bases, but only one
got in. In the • second two hits
were sufficient to get in another
run- . ...
A double in the third got a man
on, but he died there, while the
Cubs came up rnd scored twice,
off a hit, two walks, and an error.
A bit and a walk in the fifth
gave the Cubs the go-ahead run,
and then came the fateful sixth,
top half.
The first batter grounded out to
first. A walk and an error put two
on, and Cozart fanned the next
man. then George Wragg hit :i
single that brought in the tying
run, and a fielding error allowed
another counter on the same play.
The next batter sent Wragg a-
round to third, and Ronnie Pav.ii
drove him in with a single. The
next batter was thrown out at
first, and the side was retired, but
the damage had been done.
It was the first game for
Cubs in this half of play.
Cards have won two and lost
a-nd won the first half of
hands down.

WASHINGTON, July 9 (UP _
American battle casualties in Ko-
rea now total 112,128, an increase
of 552 over last week's summary,
the Defense Department annoum--
ed Wednesday.
The summary includes casualties
whose next of kin were notified
through last Friday. It shows
19,f>!)8 deaths, 80,060 wounded.
9,543 missing, 1,442 captured, and
1,385 previously reported missinj,

rop'inued From Page I
the Sweifel forces did not "pro-
duce one shred of evidence" to
prove that Democrats nominated
precinct conventions.
He praised the Republicanism of
Jack Porter and Alvin Lane.
He told the committee that here
is a chance that Texas "can go
Republican this year for the first
time since 1928 if we can get fair
play here."
Committee Had Power
The opening statement for the
Zweifel forces was delivered by
Monte Appel, a Washington attor-
ney, who said the Texas law in-
vested in the state political com-
mittee the right to determine con-
tests at the state conventions.
He accused the Porter leaders of
a "knowing, conscious a-nd deliber-
ate effort to mobilize Democrats
by ads in newspapers and by post-
cards" to come into the Republi-
can precinct conventions "and take
over."
