Campaign lieutenants for Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower and Sen. Robert A. Taft clearly felt that it was time to take off the gloves and slug it out until the GOP convention in Chicago July 7. Even the principals in the Tace were beginning to talk more bluntly. , CALLS "EM “NEW DEALERS” In a nationwide radio and tele vision broadcast last- night, Taft branded Eisenhower’s backers "the New Deal wing of the Republican party” and said they cannot lead the party to victory in November on a “me-too" campaign. Taft also claimed that he now has the support of 559 convention delegates—just 16 short of the ination on the first ballot, number required to win tite nom- Eisenhower supporters here pooh poohed the claim. While unwilling to divulge their own computation of Taft’s delegate strength, they said it was not “anywhere near” what Taft claimed. Sen. Henry Cabot Jr., Mass., Eisenhower’s campaign man ager, said in a statement today i that ihe has “just completed my V first state-by-state canvass nf i delegate strength since Eisen hower’s return and what 1 have l learned exceeds my best expecta tion.” ' ) 129 UNCOMMITTED ‘ N , The United- Pre» ■ tabular, delegates, baaot on OqnMl pledges and known first-ballot inferences credited Taft with 471 delegates and 120 uncommitted publicly to either candidate, and 67 contested including Texas’ 8 delegates who (Continued on page seven) CIO Opposing Senator Russell DETROIT (W Walter P.

ATLANTA (W Memphis, Team, the city of cleanU ; \ ' Passage Would Remove Present Price Controls WASHINGTON (IP) The house voted tentatively to- I day to kill just about all i price controls. What the | House did was to vote ten tatively to remove price con trols on everything not be ing rationed now. I Office of Price Stabilization of ficials said the effect of the action ! would be to take price controls olf all but a few metals. And con trols on even those few metals might also be removed by the House’s tentative action. The vote was 146 to 88. The action is subject to a later roll call vote. The action was taken as the House worked on a bill to extend price - wage - rent controls beyond June 30. j The decontrol amendment wa» offered by Rep. Henry O. (R-la.) Administration supporters attacked it as an indirect method of killing price control. Chairman Brent Spence (D-Ky.) of the House Banking Committee said: "Os course, there will be no rationing. The people don’t want rationing.” Talle’s amendment provides ceil ing prices “shall” be suspended on non-farm products as long as they are “not being allocated for civilian use." WOULD SUSPEND CELINGS It provides that ceilings on farm products or products processed in whole or part from farm com modities - shall be suspended as long as they are “not being ra tioned at the retail level of con sumer goods for household and personal use.” "In essence," complained \ Ren i’Wayne L. Hays ’ (D-?) “thwriwni itlSl controls in a clean way.’ Spence also urged that the house face up to a “clear issue” and vote on whether it wants to kill price controls outright. President Truman had requested a two-year extension with stronge controls. The Senate has voted to continue the authority for only eight months. The House committee measure recommends a one-year extension, but Republicans had served notice they would attempt to cut that down. :k:K.. - « ,1 W jSHffcpV;., A * Jt'v W fr'V" JN* M SPI . y. ■ . , rftSgi , , W If W jIP” r / * • DEED IS PRESENTED President Guyton Smith, left of the Cape Fear Country Club is shown here as he received a deed for the new club property from R.
