Lodge Appeals
To GOPers To
Support Ike *
SAN FRANCIBCO —W— Sen,
Hemy Cabot Lodge R-Mass. ap
pealed to the. Republican National
Committee today to help nominate
and elect Gen. Dwight D. Eisen
hower president because he is the
''peoples" choice."
•
Only a few hours earlier, David
S. Invalls. campaign manager for
Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio, told
the committee the GOP is dead, if
it risked its political future on
“hero worship, glamour or sex ap
peal."
Lodee. who has been conducting
a whirlwind campaign at tfie na
tional committee meeting in jgn ef
fort to line up party support for
Eisenhower, was the third-of four
men to. speak out for their can
didates.
Oov. Earl Warren of California
and Ingalls took their turns And
tonight Harold E. Stassen, former
governor of Minnesota, will follow
Lodve's luncheon appearance.
“We must give the American
people the man they want for the
job." Lodge said. “Popular senti
ment favor* one man above aU
others an dthat man is Eisen
hower.”
POINTS TO POLIJ3
Lodge argued that every public
opinion poll favored the general
and even in the solid South the
score was Elsenhower 59 per cent,
Truman 35 per cent.
Ingalls spent part of his speech
attacking public opinion surveys
which he called “the Trojan horses
of the Republican Party.”
“A blind reliance on these polls
has led the Republican Party to
defeat repeatedly in the -pact and
can lead us to defeat again," In
galls? saw. “They create tto grand
toM*.' sahTthe
QOP could not hope to turn out the
Democratic administration in No
vember unless it gets the independa
ant vote.
NOT ENOUGH REPUBLICANS
“There are just not enough Re
publicans in the United States to
elect a president without addition
al support"
“Therefore we must have a can
didate who not only will carry our
banner, but will also appeal to the
great strength of the independent
voters and also to the Democrats
who are sick and tired of the pres
ent national administration,”
Lodge said.

Truman Seeks
More Money
For A-Bombs
WASHINGTON W) President
Truman won will ask Congress for
funds to carry out a “major” ex
pansion of the U. S. Atomic pro
gram, the third of its kind since
Russia exploded her first A-bomb
in 1949.
Officials said the administration
blueprint for keeping this country
in, front in the atomic arms race
will be outlined'to the Joint*Atomic
Energy Committee “within a few
days.” -
Committee Chairman Brlen Mc-
Mahon Driponn. announced yes
terday that MT. Truman had ap
proved tn expansion program, but
would not disclose its scope.
MAJOR STEP-UP
Other authorlatlve 'quarters -told
today that it will definitely, rank
as a “major" step-up in this ‘ rerun
try’s A-bomb producing facilities,
which are even now in the process
df being doubled.
I&formahts indicated, however,
that the expansion will not be aa
sweeping as McMahon would like.
The Senator has urged that atomic
spending be stepped up to about
M. 000.000.000 a year, a six-fold in
crease over the present rate. But
tee. Atomic Ehergy Commission
anJLthe Defense Department have
derided after lengthy study that
the nation cannot spare that large
a quantity of critical materials,
such as steel, from other high pri
ority rearmament tasks.
MaMahon predicted Mere will be
little difficulty in getting OongrbM
to vote money fqf the program.

i Tyler, Other
Officials
Are Renamed
Officials of Dunn Hospital. In
corporated. at their annual board
meeting held Wednesday night,
voted to go ahead with plans for
enlargement of the institution,
provided the addition can be-erect
ed at an economical cost at this
time.

ing, said plans call for the addition
of a wing which would provide 25
new beds in the hospital and in
crease the size of the institution
by one third.
The hospital now has 37,Jbeds,
although the number of patients
cared for averages more than 50
a day and the addition would .make
a total of 62 beds.
At the present time, beds are
placed in halls, in the exanrtrrtiig
room, on the sun porch anil in
every other available spot. .* '*
An addition has been planned
for several years, but has been de
layed because of scarcity of ma
terials and prohibitive costs, but
Chairman Tyler said members of
the board felt the work coubf not
be delayed too much longer.
BADLY NEEDED^
“The community needs enlarge
ment of the hospital very badly,"
he said, pointing to the ” increase
In number of patients and the
services rendered by the institu
tion.

up proposed plans and to submit
