He is a candidate for reelection because "I think I have a responsibility to my state and to my party." He said if elected to a third term he intended to serve out the full time, thus spiking rumors he would step aside if Knowles were lieutenant governor. FOUR. He said "I have no deals with anyone and I don't intend to influence this convention in choosing candidates." He pointed out that he had "worked closely" with Thomson during previous political campaigns. Kohler had high praise for Thomson as a public servant and for his party record. While Kohler praised Treasurer Warren Smith, who Is unopposed for party endorsement, the governor declined to say anything about the other two constitutional offices which are being contested.

Party leaders here said the governor's statement would create further unity among GOP delegates. Thomson also called for a strong state ticket. He made it clear that he has nothing but good wishes for the left, and. Wayne Hood, La Crosse. Seated are Mrs.

United Press-State Journal Telephoto Members of the platform committee for the State Republican convention met Thursday at a Milwaukee hotel. Standing are John Lindner, Eau Claire, protecting him-against subsidized competition." "'Publicly financed federal sub sidies, over long periods of time cannot be regarded as the ultimate solution," the committee de clared. Rogan said the committee is taking no stand for Gov.

Walter Kohler's two-price n'an or any other proposal because "the situation in Washington may change" and the state's congress men should have a free band. The 1954 platform will follow the 1952 national plank on labor. The committee rejected a plank calling for a state minimum wage law, in line with the stands of past legislatures. Another plank pledges development of a "sound state economy" to encourage further industrial growth, and points out that Wis consin now is one of tne it) top industrial states. It hails the passage this year of the St.

Lawrence Seaway as a step toward greater industrial growth. It notes, too, that both the in dustrial development committee and the natural resources com mittee are working to bring new employment and better use of the state's natural advantages. On finance. Republicans promise continued operation of the state on a pay-as-you-go policy and condemn Democrat efforts to repeal the constitutional ban on state debt. Other platform sections to be written today include public welfare, the state building program, highways and highway safety, veterans, and human rights.

On higher education, the platform committee intends to reopen the subject of integration, proposed by Kohler in the 1953 session but beaten after a hot battle. It will be called "coordination," with an aim to making college-level work "more broadly and more economically available to our youth in the various areas of the state." Rogan said he would ask the committee to reaffirm its 1952 stand of area and population reapportionment. There is a pledge of continued building at the University and the state colleges, which had had $50,000,000 for construction since 1945. The platform takes no stand on educational television except to point out that the state last year took steps to hold 12 non commercial channels reserved for Probers to Hear McCarthy, 2 More, Then End Hearings (Continued from Page 1) Council Votes 2 Annexations But Water Service Issue Hits a Snag (Continued from Page 1) America." Its military aspects, he said, are intended to build up the necessary strength to "oppose suc cessfully any rash aggression by the Communists." Stresses Farm Program On the home front, he stressed heavily his desire for a flexible program of farm supports. Against this, the House Agriculture committee has voted for a year's continuance of the present rigid, 90 per cent of parity support plan, Mr.

Eisenhower said he has been told it would not be good politics to try to Solve the farm problem In an election year, that the sensible thing to do would be "to close my eyes to the damage the present farm program does to our farmers and the rest of our people and do this job of correc tion next year. But he said he wants to make this one point clear: "In this matter I am completely unmoved by arguments as to what constitutes good or winning politics. And may I remark that, though I have not been in this political business very long, I know that what is right for Amer ica is politically right." In his praise for Congress' "hard work," the President said that appropriations bills have been acted upon much faster than usual, and Congress has backed administration efforts to cut spending. Taxes Eased He said stifling taxes on cofr sumers have been eased, legisla- tion enacted to provide better highways, the St. Lawrence seaway project finally authorized after more than 40 years.

But much still remains, he said which is of vital significance to every American citizen. The President expressed hope for speed on the general tax re vision bill already passed by the House and approved by the Sen-ate Finance committee. He mentioned, too, expansion of the Social Security program to bring in 10 million more people under increased benefits, blank' eting another 6 million workers under unemployment insurance. and a housing program he said would let every citizen "aspire to a decent home and a wholesome neighborhood." Protection from Reds Mr. Eisenhower said the potent package protection against Reds Includes measures to: Plug the loopholes through which spies and saboteurs can lip.

Bar proved subversives from essential defense facilities. Take citizenship from persons hereafter convicted of advocating or attempting violent overthrow of the government. Permit use of wiretapping evidence against Communist conspirators under proper safeguards. Give immunity from self-incrimination to selected witnesses bo as to get the truth from them about their associates and fellow conspirators. Ray Glowers; Then Hearts and Flowers (Continued from Page 1) here Stevens got himself "mouse' trapped." McCarthy used the word "mousetrapped" so often that this note was passed along the press lame: "McCarthy seems to be saying that Stevens Is a nice guy as mice go." Well, as the afternoon wore on, the questioning did become a mite rougher, and prospects certainly are for rougher going before McCarthy steps down from the stand.

But the immediate letdown, after the ferocious buildup, can't be better expressed than in this touching exchange after all the bitter words that have passed between the Army and McCarthy camps: Jenkins: "Senator you like Bob Stevens, don't you?" McCarthy: "Yen, I do." Uls co oslnAState Journal Entered tecond clan matter at postofflc at Madison. under tne acta oi MarcB 3. 1879.

Francour, La Crosse county agricultural agent. The Alice contest was the highlight of the Richland Center Dairy Day celebration that brought thousands of visitors to the city. And the sponsors of the event really picked "ice cream" weather for the event, which included a parade and two public ceremonies. Spaced between high school bands from Richland Center, Muscoda, and Blue Riven were 13 4-H club floats, all featuring the dairy idea, the 19 Alice con-didates riding in convertibles, and a cantering contingent of horsemen. In competition for $60 in parade prizes, Dayton Merrymakers 4-H club entry- was selected as the best.

Others ranking high in the competition were Fogo Valley 4-H club, with its interpretation of the Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe; Richland-Eagle-Orin (REO) 4-H club for its Alice in Dairyland of 1954; Dayton Hill-toppers 4-H club for the presentation of "Milk the Health and Wealth of Wisconsin;" and Brush Creek club for the theme "Wis consin Dairy Foods for Health." Each of the Alice candidates was introduced to the public at a program in the courthouse square. Odin Solberg, president of the Richland Center Chamber of Commerce, presided at the ceremony attended by most of the 3,000 who watched the parade from Krouskop park. Mary Ellen Jenks, the present reigning Alice in Dairyland, called the celebration "one of the finest Dairy events I've experienced in all my travels." The Richland county crowd responded with full applause. The Alice candidates were guests of the Chamber of Commerce at the noon luncheon and 110 persons joined the group for the Dairy Day Dinner served by the Order of Eastern Star at the Masonic Temple. In addition to the winners the list of candidates included: Nancy Schroeder, Mt.

The Bachmanns were passengers in a car driven by Benjamin Bollig, also of 1706 Packers when it was involved in the accident with a car driven by James Johnson, Mauston. They had asked $19,000 damages in their suit against Bollig, his insurers, the Rural Mutual Casualty Insurance and Johnson. The jurors decided Wednesday night that Bollig was 30 per cent negligent in causing the accident, and Johnson was 70 per cent negligent. They awarded Bachmann $1,000, his wife J09, and nothing for their 2-year-old son, Allen, who received minor cuts and bruises in the accident. CANVAS SHOES fQr family! Poiture Foundation "The Man- Tailored Shop (Continued from Page 1) has been at odds with regular party members for many years.

There seems to be little ques tion here that Gov. Walter Koh-ler, Attjr. Gen. Vernon Thomson, and Treasurer warren smiin win receive convention endorsement without opposition. Support for Thomson Unless he makes an announce ment today, Thomson may figure in an unusual political sitlation.

The popular attorney general has not yet announced oniciauy mat he intends to seek another term. but his name will undoubtedly be placed before, the convention for 'endorsement. Thomson, who "campaigns" continually on behalf of the GOP, is popular enough with party regulars that he may not have to make an announcement to get party backing. The endorsement of Knowles will probably come in a effort to strengthen the party's campaign team in one of the toughest campaigns the GOP has faced in Wis consin in recent years. Want Campaigner Smith, a relative unknown when he captured the lieutenant gover nor's job in 1948, has shown little inclination to campaign actively for the state tickett "We have to have someone will Ing to carry the ball," one party leader declared.

Smith's heaviest support is ex pected to come from Milwaukee county, which has 840 of the con vention's 4,141 votes. Atty. Charles P. Curran, Maus- ton, chairman of the Knowles for Lieutenant Governor club, said however, he expects the New Richmond senator may attract at least half of Milwaukee's county's votes. While no county delegation has officially endorsed Knowles, seV' eral delegates arriving here have said they are prepared-to endorse him.

Curran said no work had been done in contacting the county delegations before the convention but the campaign began to pick up speed Thursday night. Congressmen Busy Unofficial word was received here Thursday afternoon that many of the state's eight Repub lican congressmen may not be able to attend the convention. The Washington office of Rep. Law rence Smith (R-Racine) said im portant votes in the House today may keep the congressmen in the capital. Rep.

Glenn Davis (R-Wauke- sha) and Rep. Gardner Withrow (R-La Crosse) are scheduled speak to the opening session this morning in the Milwaukee audi torium, and Kohler will deliver the keynote address this after noon. Sen. Alexander Wiley will also speak later in the afternoon and Sen. Joseph R.

McCarthy will deliver a speech to open the final session Saturday afternoon. The mam convention address will be given by Rep. Richard M. Simpson chairman of the GOP congressional campaign committee. $25 Bail Forfeited by Restaurant Man Donald Moran, 30, of 710 S.

It now com prises 24 home sites. The request, for extended water service was made by Grant Kittle, home builder and chair man of the Home Show commit tee. He said 16 home builders have agreed to erect 16 model homes on the tract, which will have an average value of $18,000 each. But the plans have been delayed by bad weather and strikes, Kittle said, and further delay may mean that Madison will have no Home Show in September, he added. Although the water service ex tension would break the prece dent set, City Planning Director Walter K.

Johnson favored granting of the request because, he said, it may expedite annexation of the area to the city. It's a ''peculiar situation," Johnson said. The Home Show site is part of an unannexed island which has been a "hard core of resistance" to annexa tlon. although it is completely surrounded by the city, he ex plained. Kittle said his group will at tempt to have the area annexed to the city, but admitted he could not guarantee that the persons buying the model homes will consent.

The council refused, 15 to 4, to rerefer the request to the committee of the whole. Then it refused, 15 to 2, to suspend Its rules on a motion to "place on file." Then it voted, 12 to 6, to sus pend its rules on a motion to grant the extension. But the motion' required 14 votes so the rules were not suspended. Then the council adjourned, leaving the whole thing to be foucht out again two weeks hence. California Crewmen Lose $203 to Thief Four members of the Univer- sitv of California crew, in Madt son lor the race Saturday with the University of Wisconsin crew, reported to police Thurs day afternoon that $03 was stolen from their unlocked rooms in Hotel Loraine.

The crewmen, Desmond Crof-felt and Armond Maggenti, Al-emeda, and Carter Swen-son and Frank Robin, Dickson, said they forgot to lock their hotel room doors because of the habit of not doing it in their fraternity houses. The thief took $100 in travelers' checks and the rest in cash from their billfolds while they slept. made biting references to candidates who fail to defend the party's record. Atty. Lyall T.

Beggs, Madison, Dane county GOP chairman, and Mrs. E. W. Holmquist, county vice-chairwoman, praised Kohler's talk, Lt. Gov.

George Smith spoke briefly. Philip G. Kuehn, Milwaukee, was elected head of the county chairman's organization. Another 850 Doctors Face Draft in July WASHINGTON (If) The De-fense Department announced Thursday that an additional 850 physicians will be drafted in July. The 850 include 500 for the Air Force and 350 for the Navy.

They are in addition to a previously announced call for 120 physicians for the Navy in July. The total doctor draft for next month thus will be 970, com pared to 360 being drafted this month. This month's call is entirely for the Navy.

last Oct. 20. The Wisconsin lawmaker described this incident as a "gross insult" to Cohn, And he declared that if it had happened to him: "I would have used language much stronger than any I have heard described here." Three Army witnesses have testified that 27-year-old Cohn 'biew toD. on that occasion and uttered such threats as "this is war with the Army" and "we'll really investigate the heck (or something stronger) out of you now." McCarthy snorted impatient disbelief. He said he doubted if Cohn said any such thing.

"If Roy said it," McCarthy de clared, "obviously it had to be in jest only Truman or Con gress can declare war." In any event, he said, his sub committee never has' waged any sort of war against the Army just tried to get "a few rotten apples out of the barrel." Jenkins Quizzes Him Counsel Ray Jenkins who switched to the role of cross-examiner in the afternoon session and was invited by McCar thy to do if "as vigorously as you can" asked if McCarthy would describe Cohn as "a strong-willed young man." Cohn grinned and McCarthy laughed silently, shoulders heav ing. "I wouldn't say very strong, no," McCarthy finally answered. "But he is a strong-willed young man and sometimes, as a matter of fact, seeks to and maybe does superimpose his will upon that of Sen. McCarthy, doesn't he?" Jenkins pressed. McCarthy said all members of his staff are free to argue with him and sometimes they convince him, but: "I don't find any superimposing of their will upon mine." He said, too, he doesn't regard Cohn as having a hotter temper than most people.

And for Schine, McCarthy said the word "brash" which Jenkins suggested is 100 per cent wrong. He described Schine as "the most modest young man I have known," The Army side has charged McCarthy and Cohn Cohn especially, fried by improper means to get speciat treatment for the 26-year-old Schine be fore and after the Army drafted him last Nov. 3. The McCarthy camp retorted that the Army used Schine as a "hostage" in an effort to kill the investigation of alleged subversion at Ft. Monmouth.

The record of these hearings is going to the Justice Department as the basis for possible perjury action against one side or the other. Bcrgmann's 102 King St. I ian wanted Carey on the stand to disprove, he said, a McCarthy charge that Symington once paid off a known Communist William Sentner, at the expense of St. Louis factory workers. Carey, at a news conference Thursday, blasted the McCarthy charge as "provably false and: demanded tne ngnt to tcsmy.

Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D-f Wash.) said he thinks the vote of i the Republicans to wind up the hearings "will be interpreted by the American people as an at tempt to shorten the hearings to the point that the full story can not be heard." I can't understand how any committee can just eliminate i.s a witness the man who has been talked about for the last six weeks Schine," Jackson said. Sen. John L.

McClellan (D- top subcommittee Democrat, charged that GOP defeat of his motion to call Schine and Clifford robbed the subcommittee of "indispensable evidence." McClellan also protested as in conceivable" the refusal to call Clifford since McCarthy has charged that the former Demo cratic adviser was. one of those who helped spark Army charges against him. McClellan said the GOP members had violated "all standards of traditional American justice" by refusing to hear Clifford, McCarthy Testifies McCarthy testified all 'day at the televised hearing which pre ceded Thursday night's closed door session. Specifically, McCarthy denied sworn testimony by Secretary of the Army Robert T. Stevens and Maj.

Gen, Miles Reber that he sought a direct commission for Schine. On the contrary, McCarthy said, he told the Army repeatedly to "lean over backwards" in avoid Ing any sort of favored treatment for the wealthy young Schine, McCarthy pictured btevens as a "fundamentally honest" man who was "mousetrapped" by others into a blackmail plot because he failed to understand "the tremendous Interwoven Communist conspiracy" or the "very rough politics being played down here In Washington." He said a stronger man than Stevens would have resisted such outside pressure and would now confess the Army charges were unfounded. The Wisconsin senator said Stevens plainly acted at the urg ing of Symington, one of the "judges'1 in this dispute, and Clif ford, as well as White House and Justice Department officials who attended a secret meeting last Jan. 21. The Wisconsin senator dechred, too, the charges were filed in an effort to stop him from investigat ing (1) Communist-clearing mem' bers of "the old Truman loyalty board" at the Pentagon and (2) those still at the Pentagon who "coddled a Fifth Amendment Communist major." The reference was to Dr.

Irving Peress. a den tist who was promoted and honorably discharged despite his refusal to answer questions about Communism. McCarthy went right down the line In backing up the testimony and defending the conduct of his chief counsel, Cohn though he pleaded a hazy memory on some points, and once declared: "I can't he dead certain about anything that happened a year ago." McCarthy declared Cohn had every reason to be "thoroughly Irritated and disgusted" when he was denied admittance to a $100 I DOZ. $150 I DOZ. i owerS Avenue Phone 5-4534 made up, boxed or delivered.
