Margaret Chase Smith of Maine. The two front-running organiza- i tions of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower 'And Sen. Robert A. Taft insisted tney were concentrating only on the presidential fight. But informed sources said both groups were looking for strong running mates to bolster their bids. It was expected that there would be a recess after choosing a presi dential nominee, then a later ses sion to hear his acceptance speech and nominate a man-or-perhaps Mrs. Smith-for vice president. Speculation centered on Gen. «iouglas MacArthur as a possible ominee on a Taft ticket, and at least five potential running mates for Eisenhower-Sens: Richard M. Nixon and William F. Knowland of California, Sen. Leverett Saltons stall of Massachusetts, and Govs. Theodore McKeldin of Maryland and Alfred E. Driscol of New Jer sey. Knowland also was wooed by the Taft strategists.

Practically everybody, it seemed was sitting by their radio or tele vision sets and The Daily Record was kept busy answering phone calls from citizens wanting any last bit information. Feeling ran all the way from jub ilation from the staunch Eisen hower forces to bitter disappoint ment for the admirers of Senator Bob Taft. President Clarence Me Lamb of the Dunn Chamber of Commerce hail ed Eisenhower’s nomination as “the best man nominated on either tic ket since George Washington”. Mc- Lamb is a staunch Democrat He predicted that Eisenhower will . win without difficulty, that he’ll sweep Democratic votes as well as ®te jjailu Btmrfr Republican votes. 1 "He’s not just the Republican choice or the Democratic choice; the convention proved him to be the people’s choice.” Mr. McLamb, prominent business, civic and religious leader, said he thought Eisenhower is the only man that Truman would trust to “clean up the mess in Washington.” One of the happiest of all was Jim McMillen, who several months ago announced the formation of a Democrats-For-Eisenhower Club. "General Eisenhower’s nominat ion.” said McMillen, was not only a great victory for the Republican Party, but a great victory for the Democratic Party and for all the people of this nation and of the world. “Democrats who can no longer in good grace stomach the turmoil confusion and indecision in Wash ington will now rally behind Gen eral Eisenhower. McMillen said the issues of the day were so great that they by far transcend any individaul or party "General Eisenhower,” he said, “is the man who can and will lead America to peace and security and carry us forward in our position of world leadership.” McMillen said he would open •MARKETS* RALEIGH, (IP)—Today’s egg and live poultry markets; Central North Carolina live poul try: Fryers 'or broilers firm; sup plies dhort, demand good; heavy hens steady,'supplies plentiful, de mand fair.

Some said they felt Ike was the only Republican who stood a chance. Others, expressed belief that Sen ator Taft was the man “entitled to the nomination,” pointing out that he had kept the party together iConunueu On Page Hut Durham Farm Worker Rapes Pretty Six-Year Old Child DURHAM (IP) Sheriff’s of ficers arrested a youthful sandy haired farm worker in a wooded 'section near here and said today he admltte. draping a pretty six year old girl.

Russell served notice today he doesn’t intend to be over shadowed in the race for the Demo cratic presidential nomination by Sen. Estes Kefauver’s reputation as an anti-crime crusader. The Georgian sprinkled a bit of cold water on the nationwide ac claim given the lanky Tennessean who directed the Senate Crime Committee’s televised crime hear ings. Appearing on the Columbia Broadcasting System’s televised “Mark Evans Show” last night Russell noted that he had presided over the Senate hearings on Presi dent Truman's dismissal of Gen. Douglas MacArthur. Recalling that the MacArthur in quiry was held in perhaps “the most surcharged atmosphere of our times,” Russell said: “If I could have put my show on the road, it would have far ex ceeded any other investigation.” FOUGHT MCCARTHY INQUIRY Russell said he had to fight against televising the MacArthur inquiry because a third of the data revealed duing the closed-door hearing insvolved American mili tary plans. Russell predicted he will have “some additional strength corns to me on the second and succeeding ballots’’ at the Democratic national. MEoßvhntton which opens in Chicago Piily 21. He said “I hope” to get the 616 votes required for nomin ation, “somewhere between the . fifth - and eighth ballots.” Kefauver took another crack at the Republicans when he told Mass achusetts delegates that the cur rept convention shows the OOF is “so hopelessly divided it cannot be entrusted with handling the nation’s affairs.” Kefauver said he is “willing to take on any opponent” nominated by the Republicans. He predicted he will get 300 votes on the first ballot and will be nominated “by (Continned On Par* Two) Convention Shorts By H. D.
