There was more significance to his congratulations than just the sincere, well wishes of a Republican, headett to a campaign young 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's votes" amendment to the U. S.

For a split second in the afternoon session, the throng in the hall thought fireconventiere 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. suddenly, in a clear loud, decisive voice came, "Mister Chairman!" There Every, one the aisle turned stood around. Mrs. Vera G. Davis of Dover whom every one knew had been seeking the nomination for the U.

S. Senate. Most every one in the hall felt, "This 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. For that, Mrs. Davis won an enthusiastic round of applause. The tradition of the organ playing, at done Republican away with. conven- Instead, there was an orchestra led by George Madden.

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 a a a a 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 a 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 Martin." The only campaign button that appeared at the convention was the 1952 button that said, "Warburton for However, 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 the the eagle and the other faction, the star.

PaleseContinued From First Pace I. Martin of Milford is the first major party in Delaware for States. congratulate the Republican Representatives at the Republican Convention- for Mr. Warburton amounted to his second endorsement since the keynoter, Congressman Charles A. Halleck (R-Ind), majority leader in the House, already had praised Mr.

Warburton's stand in behalf of the program of course of his address. President a Eisenhower in the But Mr. Leach, referring time and again president, said, for Mr. Warburton: "The is slowly accumulating that Herb Warburton has gripped the hearts of people in all walks of life our 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 all; and the results of his efforts will mean victory for the Republican Party in November.

Called Force for Unity Continued From First Page of the people Delaware and "He has won, the confidence 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 Dwight D. Eisenhower 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 the Permanent Budget Commission, in the nominating speech by State Senator Thomas L. Johnson of Rehoboth 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 ReCommittee, in behalf publican, 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 re all other qualities, education or otherwise. In his professional and social contacts he should have demonstrated a full recognition and discharge of his bilities 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.

Theisen'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 character-building agencies that the United Fund assists." Briefer, but nontheless sincere speeches of nomination were made for the other candidates as the afternoon picked up. Nominations Called The delegates and alternates had heard Halleck speak strongly in behalf of President Eisenhower's program, stressing savings in 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.

Trivits suit the convention as the candidate for insurance, commissioner; and they had heard that Mr. Harmon was the choice for state treas- urer. Delegates Applaud The delegates applauded, too, as Mr. Killoran introduced several of the state's leading Republicans, including former U. S.

Edmund N. Carpenter, national committeewoman; 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 Hyland P. George, their candidate for governor in 1948. This resolution said, in part, that "the untimely death of Hyland P.

George has deprived our nation, state, and county of one of our ablest political and philanthropic 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 his business at his home, 5 Rodman Road, Canby Park.

A delay in the schedule worked out by Mr. Killoran came when the reports were not ready before the recess which found the going to the Grace Fellowship Hall of the Wesley Methodist Church for a luncheon served by the Kent County Re- publican Women's Club.

15-Minute Caucus The Wilmington caucus required only 15 minutes, at its session in the 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 by Assistant City Solicitor William F. Lynch, IT.

The move for Mr. Theisen came from Deputy Atty.Gen. Clarence W. Taylor. The Rural New Castle County caucus, underway about the same time in the Senate chamber, also endorsed Mr.

Warburton and Mr. Theisen.

Collins, of Smyrna, that he wasn't a candidate for renomination. The name of Webester Phillips of West Dover was also mentioned for the state treasurer's nomination, but it was withdrawn by William H. Kenworthy of Smyrna.

The question of whether Mr. Collins had withdrawn was raised by Antoinette Richardson of Smyrna, who made no further issue over the nomination after he had been reached by telephone. 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 table and say which candidates can come from Kent she said.

Dislikes Method "I don't like that kind of action. Some months ago I announced my candidacy for the Republican nomination for U. S. senator. 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 delegate 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 expect it to be.

Chairman Robert H. Yerkes then remarked that the county merely made a recommendation at an Aug. 12 to the delegates in presenting their suggested inees. There was no requirement for the delegates these suggestions, he said, if they did not want to. The caucus then heard brief addresses by a number individuals including Liquor, Commissioner George Schulz, Ridgely Vane of Harrington, Mr.

Harmon and Mr. Townsend, who both expressed their appreciation for the consideration given them as candidates. J. Henry Hazel of Dover, former lieutenant governor, who presided, then A asked the caucus to stand for a moment's silence in tribute to the memory of Mr. George.

Convention committees from Kent County and the county members of the State Republican Committee were then announced. Convention committee assignments were: Resolutions committee: Isaac Thomas Mr. Kenworthy, Elizabeth Clark; credentials: Thomas C. Rodway, Frances and Bertha Boyd; permanents, organization. Fulton Edwin Prettyman, Johnson; rules: Jesse A.

Harmon, Mamie Anderson, Frances G. Simpson. Sussex Caucus Mr. Trivits, a former state representative, was nominated unanimously by the Sussex County caucus. The nominee is in the chicken business, and is a member of the policy committee in Sussex County, During the 1951 session of the General Assembly, Mr.

Trivits was chairman the revised statute and appropriation committees. As he accepted the support of his caucus, Mr. Trivits said "It is just as much a surprise to me as it is to you to receive this endorsement. I will get into the race: and do my utmost to get elected and to help elect the whole ticket." chairman Senator of Johnson the of Sussex Rehoboth, County Committee. presided at the caucus, and it was he who introduced Mr.

Trivits. The Sussex Delegates had nominated William F. Wilgus of Ocean View for insurance commissioner at a pre-convention caucus on Friday night. Conference Held But it was then discovered that Mr. Wilgus, because he is in the insurance business, was not eligible.

It then became necessary to find another candidate and Senator Johnson explained that there had been conferences morning, noon, and night since Friday to find a nominee. The senator said that Mr. Trivits had agreed "because he is interested in the welfare of the Republican Party." The senator also said that if the conferences had not come up with a date 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 Bridgeville, 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 of the tricts in the county." He discovered however that there are two Negro men on the tee, 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 on a liquor violation charge as a result of an attack on two 16-yearold Gwinhurst youths at Sixteenth and Market Streets Tuesday 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 Twentyfifth Street, when they were stopped by three youths in a car at Sixteenth Street. She said two of the youths in the car used obscene language and jumped from the car and struck her escorts. Last night one of the victims saw a car answering the description of the one in which his assailants were riding and turned the license number over to police. Police said Wood and Fulkrod admitted they had been drinking beer shortly before they were attacked.

As a result of their admission a warrant has been sworn out for the person from whom they allegedly obtained the beer. BRADLEY SIGHTS END OF WAR IN 50 YEARS LOS ANGELES, Aug. 18 Gen.
