Anaheim Gazette WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1952 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Enthusiasts for Eisenhower Appear To Be Very Strong in Oklahoma By JACK BELL OKLAHOMA CITY (P) — Enthusiasts for Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower appear to have cracked wide open the almost solid wall of Oklahoma Republican support for Senator Robert A. Taft's bid for the GOP presidential nomination. Starting almost from scratch with Eisenhower's announcement several weeks ago that he is a Republican and available for the nomination, the general's hastily organized backers have the Taft forces fighting a desperate battle in an area they believed safely within their hands. This state's Republicans will begin tomorrow, at a district meeting in Durant, the selection of their 16-vote delegation to the July Chicago national convention. After other district meetings, they will complete the delegation choice at a state convention here Feb. 11, first of its kind in the nation. Whereas a month ago it had been generally assumed here the delegation would go to Chicago uninstructed but at least 12 to 4 behind Taft, competent observers now say they expect the vote to be about equally divided between Taft and Eisenhower. Otis Sullivant, veteran political expert for the Daily Oklahomaian, said he looks for such a result, with the possibility that most of the Oklahoma group would jump quickly to Eisenhower if it appeared the general was "going places" in the convention. C. E. Barnes attorney and forecould be bad news for Taft. Friends of Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York, including Rep. Hugh D. Scott (R-Pa.) played a leading part in organizing the Eisenhower drive here. Dewey'got the state's convention votes in 1948. Elsewhere in the west, similar Eisenhower drives have not yet reached the stage where the general's friends can say with confidence they are making inroads into the strength Taft built up with his extraordinarily early and effective campaign for vote pledges. The Eisenhower people have apparent control in some states, such as Oregon, but they seemingly have not denied Taft strength materially in others, such as Washington. Upsetting all the advance dope, the Eisenhower people grabbed control of the Oklahoma county convention here last week. This virtually assured them of two delegates from the Fifth Congressional district, in a meeting to be held later. They confidently expect to pick up two at the Durant meeting and split other choices so they will come up to the state convention in a position to challenge for the majority of the delegation.

Otis Sullivant, veteran political expert for the Daily Oklahomaan, said he looks for such a result, with the possibility that most of the Oklahoma group would jump quickly to Eisenhower if it appeared the general was "going places" in the convention. C. E. Barnes attorney and former GOP state chairman who is rain-rodding the Eisenhower drive, predicted to this reporter the general will get the majority of the delegation out of the district and state conventions. Baillie Vinson, Republican national committeeman who is close to the Taft forces headed by Tulsa oilman W. G. Skelly, said he is remaining entirely neutral in the fight. He said he believes the state's group "will be uninstructed but split about evenly between Eisenhower and Taft." To this reporter, who has traveled thousands of miles and talked to politicians from most of the western states, the Oklahoma story is significant in that it seems to represent the first actual translation into delegate strength of the reputed Eisenhower popularity among rank and file Republicans. If it is indicative of a trend, it Folsom Plant Plans Expansion SACRAMENTO (UP)—A $577,044 contract was awarded today by the U. S. Reclamation Bureau for purchase of three transformers for the Folsom dam power plant. The contract went to the General Electric Co. of Denver, Colo. The Folsom project is under construction on the American river 20 miles east of here. A $184,900 low bid was announced, meanwhile, for a transformer for the Folsom power plant switchyard. It was by Ferranti Electric, New York. The Folsom power plant will have a 162,000 kilowatt capacity and the Reclamation Bureau plans up two at the Durant meeting and split other choices so they will come up to the state convention in a position to challenge for the majority of the delegation. Committee Set To Check Sale Of 'Torch' Cloth BOSTON (UP)—A committee, headed by California State Fire Marshal Joe R. Yockers, has been organized to study the hazard of inflammable materials in clothing, the National Fire Protection association announced today. Robert S. Moulton, NFPA technical secretary, said the action resulted from the recent "wave of tragedy caused by the sale of highly inflammable garments such as brushed rayon sweaters." Formation of such a committee was authorized several years ago, Moulton said, but "the project was held in abeyance at the time before" Taft to Offer Challenge to Famed General WASHINGTON (UP)—Senator Robert A. Taft decided today to challenge Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower for the Republican presidential nomination in the New Hampshire primary March 11. Taft, in a statement, said he had not asked his supporters to enter the New Hampshire primary—first in the nation—but they had done so. "Win, lose or draw, I, therefore, feel I should permit the preference vote to be taken in New Hampshire," the Ohio Senator said. Harold E. Stassen, another aspirant for the Republican nomination, also has been entered in the New Hampshire preferential primary but Taft made no mention Pressure Put Richard Russe For Entrance WASHINGTON (UP)—So Democrats today were putting heavy pressure ontor Richard B.

And what with food savings and low costs for cleaning and redecorating, we're REALLY saving money now. She: I've never had so much freedom, so much time out of the kitchen as I've had since we bought an electric range. I just prepare the foods, set the controls and have the whole afternoon to myself. It's certainly a pleasure. Both: A better way to cook? OF COURSE—IT'S ELECTRIC. See your electrical appliance dealer.

Grunewald to answer any questions put to him by house tax probers brought him face to face today with a possible contempt citation. The full house ways and means committee meets to pass on a recommendation by its tax investigating subcommittee to cite Grunewald and his attorney, William Power Maloney, for contempt of Congress.

Bause it then appeared department stores and other large merchandising channels were instituting measures to restrict the sale of dangerous garments." Moulton pointed out, however, the inflammable brushed rayon sweaters were sold by street vendors, not in stores. He said the committee will consider the need to establish national test standards to measure the inflammability of garments and some criterion for determining the degree of combustibility which may be permitted." Pressure Put to Richard Russell For Entrance WASHINGTON (AP) — Southern democrats today were reported putting heavy pressure on Senator Richard B. Russell of Georgia formally enter the party's residential race. At the same time, Senator Mayank (D-SC) heatedly denied that Russell's backers are out "to top" Senator Kefauver (D-Tenn), resident Truman, or any other democrat. "I hope Senator Russell will now us to nominate him," Mayank said. The full house ways and means committee meets to pass on a recommendation by its tax investigating subcommittee to cite Grunewald and his attorney, William Power Maloney, for contempt of Congress. While this was not the first time Grunewald has been in bad with a Congressional committee, he now faces up to a year in jail and a $10,000 fine if eventually found in contempt by the house and federal courts. The subcommittee, which has been digging into tax fraud scandals, started contempt proceedings yesterday after Grunewald offered only studied silence to questions about what he knew of a purported $500,000 tax fix "shakedown" and other tax cases. Grunewald's name has repeatedly cropped up in recent tax fraud hearings involving high government officials and influence peddlers. The most sensational involvement, however, was the charge by Abraham Teitelbaum, Chicago at-made to shake him down for torney, that an effort had been $500,000 to "fix" a tax case under threat of "bad trouble" back in Washington. Grunewald has been identified as the good friend of Charles Oliphant, who resigned dramatically as chief counsel of the Internal Revenue Bureau after Teitelbaum are not limited to Southern Democrats." Senator Maybank said he entertained Gov. James F. Byrnes of South Carolina here this weekend. Byrnes, former Secretary of State, U. S. Senator and Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, has been highly critical of the president and his "fair deal" in recent months. The activity among Southern Democrats recalled the walk-out staged at the 1948 convention—by all of Mississippi's delegates and half of the 26 Alabama costs of special urban development officials looking for "soft touches." Oliphant has testified he lunch-ed frequently with Grunewald and that "The Dutchman," as Grunewald is sometimes known, had taken an interest in the Teitelbaum case and other cases.

LOS ANGELES ST., ANA County Service Not Luxury in Sacramento Area SACRAMENTO (UP)—Residents of the urban unincorporated areas of Sacramento county aren't getting much of a free ride. That's the gist of a 72-page preliminary research report submitted to an Assembly committee by its chairman, Earl W. Stanley (R-Balboa Island). Sacramento county was chosen for a pilot study in the municipal and county government's investigation for the financial problems posed by heavily populated areas which are not parts of cities. The League of California Cities is afraid that residents of these areas are receiving city type special services, like police and fire protection, at the expense of the taxpayers of the whole county—including those in cities. Committee researchers found in Sacramento county that the amount of special services provided unincorporated urban areas from county general funds is very small. The Cities league sponsored a bill in the 1951 legislature to allow county supervisors to establish urban service zones whose residents would have to pay the costs of special urban services. The county supervisors association fought the measure. It was defeated in the Senate after passing the Assembly. The Research report said special service zones already exist in Sacramento county, in the form of 68 special districts—fire, light, park, sanitary districts and others. The report indicated, too, that Sacramento county may not be Soviet Russia and China Are Reportedly Drifting Apart WASHINGTON (UP)—The State Department took note today of reports that red China and Soviet Russia are drifting apart. The department's official bulletin in a review of happenings behind the iron curtain during 1951 led off with this comment on China: "In China, one of the country's where food production has fallen in spite of so-called 'land reform,' mass executions, and the liquidation of landlords, year-end reports describe a growing coolness between Peiping and Moscow." The department did not enlarge on the point but said that in general "1951 proved to be an unhappy year behind the iron curtain." county board of supervisors is an important factor in the establishment of special districts. Another important factor," said the researchers, "is the unique provision of the county charter for the election of three of the five members of the board of supervisors from the city of Sacramento." Other studies will be made in Alameda, Kern, Los Angeles and Napa counties. RICE EXPORTS SOAR BANGKOK, Thailand (UP) — Thailand expects to ship a record-breaking 1,500,000 tons of rice during 1951—more than that export any year since the war. For the first nine months of this year rice exports reached 1,160,000 tons compared to the pre-tain." Month after month, and in country after country, the story has been the same," the summary said. "It is one of increasing dissatisfaction, unsuccessful repression, new purges, and other forms of communist frightfulness in the now familiar Soviet pattern. "In the free world, by contrast, 1951 has been a year of rising strength, rising hope, and rising production, combining to build new bulwarks against Soviet aggression and promote the cause of peace." The country by country survey of developments in the Soviet bloc included a report that more than 16,000 private industrial, trade and handcraft enterprises in the Soviet zone of Germany went out of business during the past 12 months. In Brussels an international commission of jurists heard testimony from former inmates of Soviet slave-labor camps and ruled that the Soviet Union's oppression in this respect equalled that of Hitler," said the survey. "Prosecutor David Rousset estimated that between 15 million and 25 million persons are being worked as Soviet forced laborers. Assistaht Prosecutor E. De Beer said 17 per cent of the total populations of Latvia and Lithuania had been deported to Russia. Troubles also mounted in the Soviet Union itself. These reports, together with a rising tide of escapes and escape attempts as thousands of refugees left or tried to leave Russia territory, contributed additional detail to costs of special urban services. The county supervisors association fought the measure. It was defeated in the Senate after passing the Assembly. The Research report said special service zones already exist in Sacramento county, in the form of 68 special districts—fire, light, park, sanitary districts and others.
