Full Slate Of
§.C. Delegates
COLUMBIA, S. C, April 17 —
(AP) — Georgia Senator Richard
Russell has hig first full slate of
pledged delegates today, follow
ing the. South Carolina state De
mocratie convention.
The convention yesterday pledg
ed South Carolina’s 16 national
convention votes to Russell “for as
long as his name is in nomination.”
A few blocks away, the state’s
GOP _convention turned down
speciflic endorsement of either Gen.
Eisenhower or Sen. Taft. The Re
publicans elected six uninstructed
delegates to the party’s national
conventien, .- .x .
Gov. James F. Byrnes urged the
Russell endorsement in hkfiynote
speech to the convention. The De
mocrats agreed to recess, rather
than adjourn, and meet again after
both national parties have named
their presidential nominees. The
states rights maneuver leaves the
door open for a split with the na
tional party such as occurred in
1948, when J. Strom Thurmond,
then governor, was the states
rights presidential candidate.
Two of the GOP delegates came
out flatly for Taft, but the other
four are officially uncommitted.
One, however, privately indicated
his preference for Taft and an
other said he “leans” towards
Eisenhower. The convention turn
ed down flatly a resolution term
ing FEisenhower ‘“our best pos
sibility for president.”

On Industry Seizures
Murray Speaks ‘
To Press Club
By ROWLAND EVANS, JR.
WASHINGTON, April 17 —
(AP)—Philip Murray's CIO Steel
workers were reported growing
restive today under pay scales put
into effect 17 months ago and the
government was believed about
ready to give them a raise.
How much and how soon were
questions, Secretary of Commerce
Sawyer was not answering. Saw
yer, boss o fthe seized industry,
had a tentative date today with
Murray and Benjamin Fairless,
president of the U. S. Steel Corp.
Sawyer met separately with the
two men yesterday—presumably
to lay the groundwork for a gov=
ernment-imposed wage boost.
There was every indication,
meanwhile, that Murray would
lash the industry in a talk sche
duled before the National Press
Club.
Murray has done no more than
issue a short statement in answer
to last week’s attack from Clar
ence Randall, president of Inland
Steel.
Randall said President Tru
man’s seiure of the steel industry
was a corrupt deal ‘“that dis
charges a political debt to the
CIO.” He said that if any man
threatened U. 8. troops in Korea
for lack of steel “that man’s name
is Phil Murray.”
Murray called Randall’s state
ment “a deliberate and malicious
- e »
The CIO chief was fully ex
pected to expand on that in to
day’s off-the~cuff speech. :
President Truman seized the
industry eight days ago when re
peated attempts to reach agree
ment on a new work contract
failed. The wunion’s scheduled
strike was immediately called off.
The union is demanding a three
installment 17% «<ent an hour
wage boost, fringe benefits worth
about 8% cents and the union
shop, which would require all
workers to join the union.
Those are the settlement terms
suggested by the Wage Stabiliza
tion Board, which studied the dis
pute for three months.
The industry’s highest offer is
12% cents in wages, five cents in
fringes—and no union shop. The
industry says it would need a
price boost of sl2 a ton—four
times the increase the government
says it will allow—to offset the
union’s demands.
Truman was severely criticized
yesterday by Sen. Bridges of
New Hampshire, Republican Sen
ate leader, for his steel seizure
order. Bridges blamed the presi
dent for “helping create” the steel
deadlock and raising “the gravest
constitutional question since the
War Between the States.”
Bridges led a group of Republi
can Senators who sponsored a res
olution calling for a full investi
gation by the Senate -judiciary
committee.

Demos To Honor
Harriman Today
At N. Y. Dinner
NEW YORK, April 17 — (AP) |
~— A Demoratic dinner tonight'
honoring W. Averell Harrimant
may thrust him into the president- |
ial spotlight. ‘
Harriman, Director of the Mu- |/
tual Security Administration, will l
be guest of honor at the SIOO-a
--plate affair sponsored by the New
York State Democratic Committee.
The dinner reflects strong sup
port among the committee’s mem
bership to give Harriman the
state’'s 94 votes at the Democra
tic presidential convention in Chi
cagi.
Tomorrow, the state’'s 62 De
mocratic county leaders meet here
to discuss “the presidential situa=
tion”—full of more party question
mark since Gov. Adlai Stevenson
of Illionis said yesterday he “could
not accept the nomination for any
other office this summer.”
And a Democratic spokesman
said yesterday that, if Harriman
were named, he would be announ
ced as a full-fledged candidate, not
as a “favorite son.”
Dinner Speakers
Speakers at tonight’s dinner in
clude Sen. Estes Kefauver of Ten
nessee; Sen. Brien Mc Mahon of
Connecticut; Vice-President Alben
W. Barkley; Stevenson; Sen. Rgb
ert S. Kerr of Oklahoma, and Sen.
Herbert H. Lehmah of New York.
Sen. Richard B. Russell of Geor
gia is the only announced - Demo
cratic candidate not expected to
attend.
Harriman, known to be highly
regarded by President Truman,
worked closely with the late Presi
dent Roosevelt and attended in
ternationl conferences with him.
Mr. Truman has publicly ex
pressed no preference for a pos
sible Democratic successor. But
it is known that he liked Gov.
Stevenson and that he has been
lukewarm toward Sen. Kefauver.
Kefauver has been barreling
along in Democratic presidential
primaries. Some observers think
a “boom Harriman” offensive will
have the effect of a “stop Kefau
ver” drive.
The 60-year-old Harriman, still
not an announced candidate, for
the nomination, said he would
“consider it an honor” to be en
dorsed by the New York State
Democratic organization.

Civilian Defense Organizations
Work Hard In Face Of Disaster -
OMAHA, April 17— (AP) —The mightiest flood crest
in the history of the rampageous Missouri River was due
to throw its full weight against the dikes of Omaha and
Council Bluffs, lowa, tonight.
For a week the Twin Cities had been preparing for the
worst, They had marshalled armies of men with fleets of
trucks and heavy earth-moving equipment to raise dikes
and build auxiliary levies behind them.
From threatened areas of the
two cities nearly 40,000 persons
had been evacuated. Full-blown
civilian defense organizations
functioned in the face of disaster.
Some 8,000 troops had joined the
flood fight.
The peril which had mounted
day by day would reach its climax
with the arrival of the crest.
Still-rising waters prompted
watchful waiting in other areas
of the flood-ravaged midwest. As
the floods surged southward;
thousands turned from the levees
:9 the great tasks of rehibilita=-
ion.
The Missouri, the Mississippi,
the Milk in Montana, the Red
River of the North in Minnesota
and the Minnesota River all have
hit with punishing blows.
- Two Death’s
At least two persons had died
in the floods.
Last night, Mrs. Rosemary
Mohr, 28, was being rowed to
Eer home in St. Paul's west side
y volunteer ferryman Ed Thielen
when the boat capsized. Neighbors
heard Thielen's cries and pulled
him out but were unable to find
Mrs. Mohr in the darkness, Her
body was recovered later.
On April 6, William J. Red Boy,
24, of Poplar, Mont., drowned in
the Canonball River.
Mrs. Mohr's death came at the
height of the flood at St. Paul. The
Mississippi crested there yesterday
at 22.2 feet. Early today army
engineers said it appeared to be
falling slightly. .
The misery dealing Missouri was
beating at the metropolitan Oma
ha-Council Bluffs area. A record
crest of 31.5 feet is due tonight..
Uncertain Vigil
It was a wvigil frought with un
certainty that the huge force of
army engineers who built the
walls and dikes, soldiers and civil=
ians who raised them much be-'
yond the original height, were
keeping. There was nothing they
could do but wait.
They had built those walls and
levees originally to stand a 26.6
foot crest of the river, a couple of
feet over the best the wide stream
had ever recorded before.
But the Missouri had a punch
they hadn’t figured on—the pre
dicted 31.5 foot wallop. Today it
was up over 28 feet.
As it tore down the valley, deal
ing out mud and misery, the river
built up this punch and gave out
the challenge. There was a quick
answer in men and machines—the
building up of the walls and levees
and the evacuation of everybody
in the twin-city area that might
be affected.
High on the hills of the two
cities, most of the close to 40,000
persons evacuated waited for the
answer.
So the forces of man and the
forces on nature appeared to be
sizing each other up. The river
men were fairly confident they
had the Missouri licked in this
area, and that downstream the
government constructed walls and
levees would hold. :
" But actually, the Missouri, aided
and abetted by the Mississippi, the
Milk in Montana and the Red
River of the North in Minnesota,
has already put in the history
books the story of one of the great
est flood disasters of record.

barricaded in the prison printing
shop.
The prison administration is
“waiting it out” in an effort to
insure the safety of four employes
held as hostages by the riefers
since 10 a. m. Tuesday, when the
revolt began.
Reports so far indicate the hos=
tages, two of whom have heart
trouble, have not been harmed by
the convicts and have even been
fed and permitted to secure medi=
cine from the outside.
Late yvesterday afternoon the
four men all were permitted te
telephone the prison’s central of«
fice and report that they were all
right. ’
Since yesterday morning, when
a message from Institutions and
Agencies Commissioner Sanford
Bates was sent in to the muti
reers, they have been quiet and
the situation has remained un
changed.
An observer at the prisen said
the shop resembled a tomb—“no
noise, no faces, no lights—neth
ing.”
The rioters have been without
food, water or electricity since
they took over the two-stoty stone
shop.
The building has been sur
rounded with guards since the
disturbance started. During the
night floodlights covered all pes
sible means of exit. ’
Two fire department pumpers
stood ready to pour water at the
rioters if they tried to leave.
The rioters are demanding re
moval of Prison Warden M
H. Carty and an' investigation of
