President Truman fired 15 months ago, rallied Republicans today to a crusade against the Democratic “war party.” Republican leaders generally ex acted with enthusiasm to the call to battle MacArthur issued last , flight to oust the Democratic “sche | mers and planners.” I In a 59-minute keynote address to the. 25th Republican national I convention, the 72-year old hero of the Pacific loosed salvoes of | scorn against the Truman admin ] istration. He aimfed directly at the “indecisive conduct of the cam paign in Korea.” HITS IRRESPONSIBILITY That conduct, and other “tragic blunders,” he said, increased rath er than decreased the danger of global war with Russia. “It Is fatal to enter any war with out the will to win it,” MacArthur said. “I criticize not the morality of the decision, but its irresponsi bility and recklessness.” That statement touched off a burst of applause that lasted a full minute. But the delegates’ cheers were even louder when he said the administration had talked and pledged peace while moving to ward war, and .added: “Indeed, none gan deny what his tory so clearly records-that the Democratic Party has well earned the doubtful distinction of being the war party of modem American politics,. The dead of World War I. of World War II and the Korean war render mute testimony.” APPLAUDED 71 TIMES MacArthur was Inftsjrrupted 71 times by applause and get an eight minrfe stomping, whoonlng oviv tion from the 12.000 persons in the hall when he marched down the center aisle to take the platform.

WILSON CHICAGO OP) Sen. Robert A. Taft lost four scat tered votes today to Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower in their bitter fight for the Republican presidential nomination, but Taft seemed to have the edge in new hearings on disputed Southern delegations. The convention _ itself held a routine oratorical session this as-; ternoon while the rival camps scrapped in the credentials com mittee over 68 contested delegate from the South. This time the fight was before television cameras, which were barred when the GOP national committee, in the week before the convention opened, was awarding 42 of the 68 delegates to Taft. ON FLOOR TOMORROW The final "battle of the staler delegates" wil lnot hit the conven tion floor until tomorrow. The program originally called for the credentials committee, picked yes terday with Taft men in control to make its report at the close of today's forenoon convention session But delegate-by-delegate arguments slowed the prpceedings and the committee’s findings will reach the convention much later. NO REPORT TODAY Walter S. Hallanan. temporary chairman of the convention, an nounced that the credentials com mittee would not report to the convention today on the contested delegations. He said the committee would need more than one day to make its recommendations. The credentials committee's first action today was a unanimous vote to recommend seating from Floriad l H Taft delegates, on* for ike and liotie uncommitted. This wt£s vmat [ the national committee had pro , posed. r All indications were that the Taft-dominated credentials com mittee would turn in the same sort ■ of report that the Taft - domin ated national committee had. pro duced. The Eisenhower camp will , appeal it directly to the convention . floor. • IKE TO BENEFIT j Then Eisenhower will have the I benefit of a rules change afecting the seating of contested delegates , which his forces rammed through i yesterday in the convention’s flrat , big test of strength. That was not exact guage of j delegate, strength, however.
