Roark as coordinator of the Anaheim Area Industrial Group of the Chamber of Commerce was received by the AAIG last week. In ill health for some time, Roark resigned on his physician's advice, he said, and expressed regret at leaving the AAIG. Sickness kept him from the office since June 30. Of the AAIG, Roark wrote in his resignation: "I think the Group should be kept together—and that it should be ready for the time when very likely its service will be needed much more than at any time to date. Either a sharp acceleration of the defense program, or a major cutback, due to changes internationally, could produce such a situation." Good luck to you as you build and develop the industrial capacity of this area."

CHICAGO—The army was never like this. As a soldier, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower put in some rugged days, but he never underwent anything like it on eve of GOP national convention.

These are three facets of the day. With him in center picture is Mrs. Frazer Dougherty of Bethel, Conn. CHICAGO—The army was never like this. As a soldier, Gen. Dwight D.

(UP)—The Republicans kicked off their 25th presidential nomination convention today and promptly moved into a bitter floor fight between Taft and Eisenhower forces over the playing rules. The issue was whether those delegates whose own right to sit in the convention is under contest should be allowed to vote on settling other contests. VICTORY-HUNGRY GOP stalwarts, worried that the floor battle would leave many wounds unhealed at election time, had striven desperately to head it off through some compromise. They even delayed the opening of the first session for an hour and three minutes in an effort to get the Taft and Eisenhower men in agreement. A long back-stage huddle produced no decision, however, and finally GOP national chairman Guy George Gabrielson gavelled the convention to order at 12:33 p.m. (EST). There was no compromise. FINNALLY IT CAME to the convention floor with a motion by Senator Bricker of Ohio that the convention adopt the 1948 rules. That was what Taft's backers wanted. The Eisenhower strategists countered with a substitute proposal that contested delegates be allowed to vote as each state contest is settled individually, except in the case or contested seats settled by two-thirds of the national committee. This was a proposal that some delegates not aligned with the Eisenhower camp had been advancing as a possible compromise. Eastern Tourists Should Beware!!

Winningham and Stanley Garbott 16, Lawton, Oklahoma, came into Santa Ana last evening from Oceanside hitchhiking their way home.
