MacArthur Calls For Great Crusade To "Save” U. S. From Democrats

OIDIOAGO. July 'l-(AP)-Gen. Douglas MacArthur summoned the Republican Party tonight to a great crusade to rescue the United states from what he called the "tragic blunders" of .the Truman administration.

in the keynote speech of the Republican national convention, MacArthur lashed out at "those reckless men- who. yielding to in- ternational intrigue. set the stage for soviet ascendancy as a world power and our own relative de- cline"

Me.cArthur has declared his sup- port for Sen. Robert A. Tait and has lashed out indirectly at Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Avoided Taking Sides

But in the text of his address as distributed before he spoke, Mac- Arthur avoided taking,aides in the nomination fight between the two top contenders.

left the U. 8. dependent on the for-i

elgn policies and diplomatic moves of its allies "without as yet having mounted either the will or the physical power to successfully meet aggression."

Eisenhower is a champion of col- lective security and until recently headed the combined West Eur- opean defence force in Europe.

C Taft has urged reliance on de- velopment of U. 8. air power and has contended too many generals

idepend too much on ground troops.

But MacArthur did not name either Eisenhower or Tait.

Instead his keynote scorched the Truman administration on domes- tic and foreign politics alike.

It was President Truman who fired him more than a year ago as

supreme commander in the Far East. MacArthur has five delegate

votes for the Republican presid- ential nomination himself and has been mentioned as a possible run- ning mate for Tait if the Ohio senator wins the top spot later this week.

In his address tonight MacAr- thur prcdicted victory for the Re- publicans in "the coming crusade to rechart the nation's course to- ward peace and security and pros- perity" through "a refortlfication of its will and faith."

"Therein," he said, "lies the Republican Party's challenge to leadership."

82nd Congress In U. S. Adjourns

Bul TaflSays He is Cerslain Of Nomination

By C. R. Blackburn

OHICAGO. July '1 -(CF) -Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's forces won a drama-packed victory in the first stage of the floor fighting at the opening of the Republican national convention today and staked out a jubilant claim to the Republican presidential nomination.

The camp of senator Robert A. Taft. of Ohio disputed the claim, insisting their man still was a sure winner.

By a vote of 658 to 548 the con- vention sided with Eisenhower in ii vital. preliminary tcst on the issue of seating contested delegations. Then it adopted by acciamation a new rule which bars 68 contested delegates-Taft men in large part --from voting on seating of dele- gations until their own seating dis- putes have been decided.

This issue boiled over soon after the convention was called to order Gabrieisoii an hour after the scheduled time of 11:30 a. m. CDT.

it turned the convention into an intra-party fight which has been sizzling for a week because of Els- enhower's claims. The delegates in the disputed states were accepted bf the Republican machine against the wishes of'the majority which favored the General. The fight has still to be settled but at least the delegates in dispute will not be permitted to vote on their own right to sit.

Canadian Dollar Moves Up Anolher Fraction In U. S.

NEW YORK. July 7 -(GP) - The Canadian dollar hit its high-i est point in terms of United states funds in 19 years when it reached SLIM 1-B today.

The high figure was .quoted in, opening dealings at 10 a. in. EDT: but it dropped back and was quot-I ed at 31.03 1-2 at the close of New, York dealings.

The record high of the Canadian dollar is 51.05 1-2 set Nov. 18, 1933 when foreign-exchange traders were acting on rumors of an in- crease in the U. 5. price for gold.

Anticipation of a higher gold price sent buyers into the marketi for shares in Canadian gold mines, driving the Canadian dollar up. Subsequently the U. 5. raised its price of gold from 520.67 to 335 a fine ounce.

Low mark for the Canadian dol-, lar is 71.75 cents U. S. recorded be? tween May 25 and June 1, 1940, when the fall of France created fl wave of pessimism among foreign exchange traders dealing in cur- rlencles of the belligerent count- r es.

The Canadian dollar began its present rise nearly two years ago when the Canadian Government relaxed controls and left it virtual- ly free to find its own level after having been at a 10-per-cent dis- count. It jumped to around 95 cents in terms of U. S. funds and when Canada dropped all foreign- exchange controls in December, 1951. the dollar's upward pace qulckened.

Most experts agree that the can- adian dollar is going up because Americans and others are interest- ed in investing in Canadian en- terprises and are bidding up the

currency.

Armored Cloth Sought For Canadals Soldiers

OTTAWA. July '7 -(OP) - - The Defence Department is experi- menting with types of cloth they think might save a lot of soldiers' lives.

Sources say the department is trying out various materials. in- cluding nylon. which might be found useful in throwing a. pro- tective armor around the body of a soldier.

They aren't looking for a bullet- proof vest. but are after a material capable of fending off shrapnel from shells and mortars. It would be a protective shield that wouldn't halt direct fire but would save the soldier from many of the indirect hazards of battle.
