Strrlag our Community Tolihuly for mora than a hall century had not come up with a candidate it was quite possible that the nomination would have gone to New Castle County. The Sussex caucus started at 10:10 a. 40 minutes late. The principle reason for the delay was the last-minute search for a candidate for insurance commissioner.

Mrs. Ruth Hoch of Brldgeville, was elected a vice chairman of the convention from Sussex. When it came time to select members of the State Committee, of which Sussex Is entitled to 10, the caucus became involved in a long discussion. Senator Johnson said that he would like to see those who are on the present state committee retained In office. He said that "this present group represents all of the districts in the county." He discovered however that there are two Negro men on the committee, and the rule only permits inclusion of one so Carlos Street, of Millsboro, agreed to withdraw.

LIQUOR ARREST LOOMS IN ATTACK ON YOUTHS Police Indicated last night that an arrest will be made on a liquor violation charge as a result of an attack on two 16-ycar-old Gwlnhurst youths at Sixteenth and Market Streets Tues day night, George Wood of 2208 Harrison Avenue, and Jack Fulkrod, 1905 Garfield Avenue, the victims, were taken to the Wilmington General Hospital for treatment after being assaulted.

They were returning from the open air dance in Rodney Square with Mary E. Porter, 215 East Twenty-fifth Street, when they were stopped by three youths in a car at Sixteenth Street. P. FRANK Martin of Milford ii the first A. iiailCt.

uiajuiii leader in the House, already had praised Mr. Warburton's stand in behalf of the program of President Elsenhower in the course of his address. But Mr. Leach, referring time and again to the president, said, for Mr. Warburton: "The evidence is slowly accumulating that Herb Warburton has gripped the hearts of our people in all walks of life and of all occupational and professional interests.

The thousands of men and women who work in plants, the white collar workers, the farmers, the professional leaders and business men Herb Warburton has extended his hand in cooperation to all; and the results of his efforts will mean victory for the Republican Party in November. Called Force for Unity "He has won the confidence of the people of Delaware and can unite the young and old In the campaign which lies ahead. His candidacy Is assurance that the Republican Party is never the party of the past, but the party of the present and the future always taking new life with the changing world In which we live. Herb Warburton will stand at the side of Dwlght D. Elsenhower In the troublesome days that lie ahead.

That, I think, is where the people of Delaware want him." Similar encomiums were made for Mrs. Martin, chief accountant for the Permanent Budget Commission, In the nominating speech by State Senator Thomas L. Johnson of Rchoboth Beach, chairman of the Sussex County Republican committee. Senator Johnson said that Mrs. Martin was the first woman to have obtained the nomination for an office of "this high caliber" In the history of the state.

The Senator spoke of her ability and her readiness to help those who need the assistance of her office. Theisen Nominated Another nominating speech which brought bursts of applause from the delegate-alternate audience which found many things to cheer about was that of C. Edward Duffy, chairman of the Brandywine Hundred Republican Committee, in behalf of Mr. Theisen. Four years ago on the same stage Mr.

Duffy, then chief deputy attorney general, had made an unsuccessful bid for the nomination for attorney general. Many of those In the house this afternoon realized that and were all the more willing to congratulate with their plaudits the leader who did not let a defeat deter him from continuing as a strong man In his party. Warming up to the words of nomination. Mr. Duffy said that the candidate for attorney general "should be a man of unquestioned integrity in the first place and before all other qualities, education or other wise.

In his professional and social contacts he should have demonstrated a full recognition and discharge of bis responsibilities as a true and unselfish member of our political, social and economic life. Over and above this, he should have demonstrated his recognition that there Is a spiritual approach to any pattern of life that Is governed by a higher authority." Mr. Duffy also detailed Mr. Thelsen's experience in the attorney general's office and spoke of his years of service to the United Fund of Delaware, "wherein he has demonstrated his interest In the progress of the many charitable and char acter-building agencies that the United Fund assists. Briefer, but nontheless sincere Mwchei of nomination were iiiiuii" ivi iiir uliil'i vaiiiiiuriica as the afternoon picked up.

Nominations Called The delegates and alternates had heard Mr, Halleck speak strongly in behalf of President Eisenhower's program, stressing savings in taxes, economies in expenditures and readiness against international conflicts. They were ready, then, when Clair J. Killoran, chairman of the Republican State Committee and permanent chairman of the convention, called for the nominations. They had been advised, by word of mouth and other means, that Mr. Trivlts would suit the convention as the candidate for insurance commissioner: and they had heard that Mr.

Harmon was the choice for state treasurer. Delegates Applaud The delegates applauded, too, as Mr. Killoran Introduced sev eral of the state's leading Republicans, including former U. S. Senators Daniel O.

Hastings, John G. Townsend, and C. Douglass Buck; Robert H. Richards, national committeeman; Mrs. Edmund N.

Carpenter, national commltteewoman; Gov. J. Caleb Boggs, Lieut. Gov. John W.

Rollins, and the members of the state committee who were seated on the platform. Solemnly, the delegates approved the resolution expressing their regret at the death of Hy-land P. George, their candidate for governor in 1948. This resolution said, In part, that "the untimely death of Hy-land P. George has deprived our nation, state, and county of one of our ablest political and philanthropic leaders." The measure was proposed by the Kent County Committee headed by former State Senator Robert H.

Yerkes, of Houston. A similar resolution, regretting the death of Ebe P. West, a member of the Sussex County Republican Policy Committee, was approved. The platform which the delegates approved was comparatively brief and was prepared by for Congress. Mr.

Townsend was governor of Delaware when the "votes for women" campaign reached its peak in the General Assembly. And he almost wrecked his political career in fighting to get Delaware to ratify the "women' votes" amendment to the U. S. Constitution. The slate selected by the GOP convention here in the Capitol Theatre is made of young persons.

Herbert B. Warburton candidate for U. S. Senate is only 37 years old. Mrs.

Martin Is 44 years old. Vincent A. Theisen, the candidate for attorney general, is 40 years old. For a split second in the afternoon session, the throng in the convention hall thought fireworks were going to pop out all over the place. Mr.

Warburton had just been nominated for the U. S. Senate. Then there were the seconding speeches. And suddenly.

In a clear loud decisive voice came. "Mister Chairman!" Every one turned around. There in the aisle stood Mrs. Vera G. Davis of Dover whom every one knew had been seeking the nomination for the S.

Senate. Most every one In the hall felt, Thl is it!" But they were fooled. Mrs. Davis moved that the nominations be closed and that Mr. Warburton be acclaimed the party's candidate for the Senate.

Tor that, Mrs. Davis won an enthusiastic round of applause. The tradition of the organ playing at Republican convention was done away with. In stead, there was an orchestra led by George Madden. The or chestra showed no favoritism.

It played "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "Dixie." After Mrs. Martin made her acceptance speech, the orchestra broke out into "A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody." The convention missed some old fashion political oratory because former U. S. Senator Daniel O. Hastings left ho stage before the convention was over.

Chairman Killoran was holding him to the last because Dan Hastings is noted for his pre-public address system fiery, blood and thunder political speech making. However, when Mr. Killoran looked around to present the veteran political leader, he wasn't there. By far the most popular man at the convention was U. S.

Senator John J. Williams. Before the convention adjourned, someone In the crowd called for a speech by Senator Williams. His was a short speech an Invitation to a party In Wilmington on the night of Nov. 2 "a victory party," he said.

In honor of Lillian Martin, the Sussex County delegation took over practically one-fourth of Towne Point Motel for a huge reception. It seemed as If every Republican in Sussex County was there plus Republican friends from Kent and New Castle Counties. The brevity of the GOP platform was explained this way by State Chairman Killoran: "This 1954 platform of the party is not a legislative agenda. It is a statement of principles. It represents the best thinking of our citizens.

And brief though it Is, It contains a great deal of thought and I would say It is progressive, liberal platform." There was no parade within the convention hall, for the simple reason that there is no room to parade inside the Capitol Theatre. However, some of the Sussex crowd had brought banners that read: "Sussex County for Lillian I. Martin." The only campaign button that appeared at the convention was the 1952 button that said, "Warburton for Congress." However, most everyone was wearing a little pin an elephant with the year 1954 on its side. While the elephant Is usually considered the emblem of the Republican Party nationally, the official emblem of the GOP in Delaware is the eagle with a star on its breast. That was adopted at the convention as the symbol to be placed at the head of the GOP column on the voting machines.

The eagle and the star represent the merger of two GOP factions years ago, One faction employed the eagle and the other faction, the star. polio experTdIes after long illness MONTGOMERY, Aug. 18 The doctor who directed the nation's first mass use of gamma globulin during a severe polio outbreak was found dead todav.

This! platform Is an affirmation of the planks of the 1952 platform, plus some reassertions. In the pre-convention Jockeying, Mrs. Vera G. Davis, of Do ver, majority leader in the House in the 1953 General As sembly, reminded the Kent County caucus that that county has not had nominee for the U. S.

Senate on the Republican ticket In 34 years. Mrs. Davis was herself candidate for this nomination. She said she deplored the method by which the nominees were selected. But when nomination time came, Mrs.

Davis cooperated to the fullest. The pre-conventlon business this morning included the election of members of the Stale Committee which will meet within 30 days to select a chairman. It is anticipated that Mr. Killoran will be reelected to that post. Committee Named Named by the caucusscs were: Wilmington: W.

Killoran came when the reports were not ready before the recess which found the delegates going to the Grace Fellowship Hall of the Wesley Methodist Church for a luncheon served by the Kent County Republican Women's Club. 15-Minute Caucus The Wilmington caucus required only 15 minutes, at its session in the House chamber of the Legislative Hall, to provide unanimous endorsements of Mr. Warburton and Mr. Theisen. Mayor August F.

Walz, a delegate from the Twelfth Ward, was elected chairman of this caucus. City Treasurer Alexander R. Abrahams was name secretary. Mr. Warburton's name was placed In contention bv Assistant City Solicitor William F.

Warburton for the Senate, Mrs. Martin for Congress, Townsend, the acting incumbent, for state auditor, and Harmon for state treasurer. Action wasn't taken, however, he had been reached by tele phone. Mrs. Davis, given the floor before the slate had been endorsed, said that Kent County hadn't had a Republican candidate for senator for 34 years.

"A few persons can sit around a table and say which candidates can come from Kent she said. Dislikes Method "I don't like that kind of ac tion. Some months ago 1 an nounced my candidacy for the Republican nomination for U. S. senator.

"I have not withdrawn my candidacy. Neither have I approached any delegates from Kent County. A woman from Wilmington elected as a delegate to this convention informed me that she did not know what to do, but that her husband told her not to worry, when she got to Dover, she would be told what to do. I certainly cannot approve of tactics of that type. Regardless of what happens in this state convention today, I hope to get out and work for the candidates named." When Mrs.

Davis completed her talk Isaac Thomas, a dele gate from Westover Hundred, said he would like to go on record that there has been nothing "crammed down" his throat in connection with this convention, and he did not ex pect it to be. Chairman Robert If. Yerkes then remarked that the county committee merely made a recommendation at an Aug. 12 meeting to the delegates in pre. senting their suggested nom inees.
