Temporary Chairman Of
Convention Vital Post
CHICAGO.—The man whose gavel will bang
down to conduct the first——possibly crucial—pro
ceadings of the Republican Convention talked above
the ringing phone.
Big, suave, Walter S. Hallunan, in charge of ar
rangements and temporary chairman of the GOP
Convention, answered again the question being
fired at him from all over the country in his suite
at the Conrad Hilton Hotel.
What will be done about those “contested dele=
gates” from Texas and the other states? The answer
could decide who will be the Republican standard
bearer.
Mr. Hallanan, national GOP commmitteeman from
‘West Virginia, an avowed T=ft supporter, eyes the
coming battle for delegates and his part in it with
the seasoned calm of experience, With a spectaular
record im politics from page boy in the state legis-
Jature to high party councils, this son of a country
doctor has also been a successful newspaperman
and is now a wealthy oil executive.
He learned parliamentary procedures from his
experience as a member of ine Republican National
Committee and as committe. arrangements chief
for the 1944 and 1948 GOP Conventions.
2ir. Hallanan offered a chronology to explain the
contested delegates situation. First, he related, the
rules require that individuals or political organiza
tions must file a list of contested delegates 20 days
ah2ad of the opening of the convention on July 7.
Contested district delegates are referred back to the
state ecentral committees; contested delegates-at
larse ere referred to the national committee.
In the case of Texas, the contested delegates, in
ac ord with Senator Taft's view, were elected at
rump caucuses at the state convention—hence on a
sta‘e-wide basis—which makes it in order for them
to be referred to the national committee.
Thus all of the contested delegates-at-large will
be submitted to the national committee which be
gan meetings July-1 in Cihcago with members of
the credentials committee wino sit in but are with=
oul a vote.
in the national committee meeting a roll of tem
po-ary delegates will be nrade up and submitted to
the secretary of the convention on the opening day.
7 hereafter the list is referred to the credentials
committee which submits its report on qualified
d»'ezates to the convention.
)ir. Hallanan pointed out that the Eisenhower
people will have the right of appeal on any decis
jon, and Senator Henry Cabot Lodge has alreadye
indicated that he will seize this opportunity with
alacrity. At the opening session the Eisenhower
forces will support a resolution to amend the rules
and to bar the contested delegates from voting to
seat themselves or other contested delegates., A ma
jority vote of the resolution obtained by a roll call
of states would then decide the qualified or perma
nent delegates. Failure to put through such a reso
lution could put Eisenhower delegates at a disas
trous disadvantage.
Asked if he, as a Taft-supporter, could influence
delegates from his position as temporary chairman,
Mr. Hallanan shot a glance at a co-worker and
smiled. “That will depend,” he said, “on the situa
tions that mray come up or upon the parliamentary
procedures that may be required.”
Apropos of' this comment is the opinion of James
A. Farley, campaign manager for Franklin D.
Roosevelt and convention veteran, expressed in an
interview by the U. S. News and World Report. Mr.
Farley said he considered the temporary chairman,
in a sense, more important than the permanent
chairman since he ‘“can see over the head of the
fellow he doesn’t want to recognize to the fellow he
wants to put the motions.” :
There is also to be considered what influence the
Taft-dominated national committee and probably
Taft-influenced credentials committee, whose mem
bers are not yet fully selected, might have, And
there are, in addition, the Taft-dominated sub
committees for arrangemenis which nright exert
some influence.
Mr. Hallanan, reminded of the report that the
national committee had distributed gallery tickets
to favor the Ohio senator, said that the usual pro
cedure of distribution had been followed. Engraved
tickets will go first to top rity, state, and federal
politicos, the Chicago Citizens Committee, party
officials, etc., then to the radio, press, and televis
ion. Remaining tickets will pbe given to the states on
the basis of their delegate sirength and nearness to
the convention,
As party leaders draw battle lines to capture the
some 72 contested delegates listed by Mr. Hallanan
from six states, they are also doing some fairly
lively maneuvering to win over equally important
blocs of delegates from such states as Michigan, Cal
ifornia, and Pennsylvania.
Chicago will offer a test on a grand scale similar
to that which went on in state Republican conven
tions in lowa and Michigan. Upsurging Eisenhower
sentiment vied with disciplined party regulars who
controlle dthe convention machinery. In lowa, the
Eisenhower upsurge crashed through to a delegate
victory. In Michigan, it was held in check to agree
to an uncommitted delegation. Both outcomes were
the result »f strategy and strength.
What will happen when the “irresistible” Eisen
hower force meets the “immovable” object of en
trenched Taft strength? Barring an unwanted
deadlock, one side must glve. Which one will is the
604-delegate question,

No One But Labor Can Decide
To End Use Of Strike Weapon
For some time we have been scraping along with
a slim output of vital steel. Inevitably the national
defense program will suffer, So will the entire do
mestic economy, of course. And that includes the
steel workers themselves.
Lyery time a major strike occurs, some enter
prising fellows alway tot up the economic losses, in
output, wages, profits and so on. The bill is gen
erally staggering. 5
Maybe the time will come when we will regard
these losses as too great to bear, In the complex
state of our industrial organization, in the precari
ous state of our relations with the Communist
world, time is of supreme value. The time that is
thrown away when mren strike can never be re
gained,
That time spells money in workers’ pockets. It
spells, in this instance, steel for guns and tanks and
automobiles and ice boxes. We will make these
things again at the scheduled rates envisioned by
our business and military leaders. But we shall
never make the ones we could be producing now,
We may well conclude one day, in the light of
this painful fact, that the strike is an economic
weapon whose disadvantages outweigh its advan
tages.
We are not here .proposing that strikes be out
lawed, or severely curbed by any legislative means.
The strike is Labor’s last resort against what it
regards as management's stubbornness or unrea
sonable demands. It is the symbol of labor’s freedom
not to work. In a free land such as ours, there can
never be compulsion upon men to labor, except in
time of war.
No, if the strike as a weapon is ever to fall into
disuse, the initiative will have to come from labor
itself, acting voluntarily. Labor leaders will have to
conclude for themselves that the strike has become
in this complex age a rather barbaric device which
serves nobody well.
Management may “win” zny particular strike, in
the sense that its proposals are accepted by labor.
But it will never win back the lost production. If
labor should gain its demands, how long will the
men have to work te offset the wages lost while
they sat idle?
Every strike ends at some point. Why? Admit
tedly, the economic pressures on one or both par
ties to the dispute sometimes become too great to
resist. But many strikes end before either side ‘has
reached that limit. THey énd becauSe the two par
ties have knuckled down nard to the business of
bargaining—something they have gotten out of the
habit of doing in the early stages of present-day
controversies.
If the two can ultimately settle their differences
by tough bargaining, why wait to begin that pro
cess until millions of dollars in wages and produc=
tion have been irretrievably lost? What could be
more wasteful or more purpoeseless?
Though no such study has been conducted, it is
very likely that close examination of the record
would indicate that the majority of strikes are in
effective. They do not accomplish what they are
supposed to. They have become largely an escape
valve for accumulated emotional steam.
But since the strike is labor’s club, no one but
labor can make the decision not to use it. Labor
leaders will only decide thus when they are con
vinced there is more wisdom and benefit in other
ways of fighting.
Prime Minister Churchiil was on safe ground
when he told a questioner in the House of Conr
mons that he would welcome “full, sincere and
wholehearted talks” between the Soviet Union and
the Western Powers. So would other Western
statesmen. But, as Mr. Churchill recognizes, it does
not lie within the competence of the Western coun
tries to bring about such a millennial negotiation,
The paradox of the truce negotiations in Korea
is obvious to all the Western world. Now comes Mr.
Malik, who, as president of the United Nations
Security Council for June—!—launches a new pro
paganda offensive against the United States on the
subject of germ warfare, At the same time, the
Soviet embassy at Washingion makes a surprising
new approach to the Department of State for set
tlement of Russia's lend-lease account, on which
there has been no real progress since 1945.
This is without doubt in the familiar Marxian
tradition of simultaneous motion in opposite direc
tions. The Swedish government is meanwhile left
to ponder on the depth of Soviet gratitude for Swe
den’s cautious abstention from d#fense arrange
ments of the free world. So careful not to offend
its powerful Russian neighbor, so meticulous in
observing all neutral niceties, Sweden is outraged
at the shooting down of an unarmed amphibian
plane which encountered two Russian jet fighters
over international waters,
Sweden’s sense of outrage is natural, but the
Swedes ought not to be surprised. Their prime min
ister has, for exammple, had t» warn the Soviet am
bassador at Stockholm against the embassy’s espion
age activities. Seven Swedes have gone to trial ac
cused of giving vital military secrets to the USSR,
one of whom has confessed rijs guilt,
With its former allies and with neutrals alike,
the Soviet standard of conduct is brutal, when it
suits Moscow’s purposes. 'The Soviet Union is
neither to be appeased nor trusted.
Principal propaganda target just now is the
United States. U, S. failure to ratify the Geneva
protocol of 1925, which prohibits bacteriological
warfare, is sure proof to Mr. Malik that the U, S.
fights with germs.
Is there the slightest evidence in all this of a
“sincere and wholehearted” state of mind on the
part of the Soviet government? As Mr. Churchill
implied in his House of Commons statement, to put
the question is to answer it.

Truman Says New Economic Control
Takes Big Gamble With Inflation
WASHINGTON, July 2.—(AP)
—President Truman said Tues?ay
the new economic controls law
takes “a serious gamble with in
flation.”
- In & statement, he protested
that he asked for a strengthened
law but Congress “moved in the
other direction” and enacted one
which “weakens our ability to
hold down prices and stabilize our
economy.”
Truman declared the bili:
“Opens the way for increases in
rents for some six million fami
lies if the real estate lobbies are
’able to forestall positive action by
local bodies.”
| Price Raise
~ “The housewife will be exposed
‘to higher prices on fully 20 per
cent of her market basket” by
‘removal of price controls fromr all
fruits and vegetables, fresh, can
ned and frozen.
“It is very likely that in many
areas the price "of milk will go
up P .1'
The "President slapped, too, at
the ban Congress wrote against
the Wage Stabilization Board’s
making recommendations for set
tlement of labor disputes.
WSB Curbed
This ban was an outgrowth of
congressional displeasure with the
board’s action in the steel wage
dispute.
Truman commented: ‘
“This means thé Wage Stabil
ization Bouard method of settlifg
disputes is for all practical pur
poses abolished, even though it has l
been effective in every case but .
one. I
Dispute Laws ‘
“If Congress has a better way |
of dealing with labor disputes in
defense plants; it should write its
views into law.”
The change as to the wage
board, Truman said, ‘“destroys the
existing system without providing
any substitute.”
In this respect, he said, “the
Congress hos opened a dangerous
gap in the mobilization program.”
Truman got out a 1,200-word
statement of his views on the new
law. But at no point did he men
tion a provision requesting him to
invoke the Taft-Hartley Act in an
effort to end the steel strike.
Law Weakened
The new law continued for 10
months powers to curb wages,
prices, and rents and to allocate
