The Department says 2 U.S. aircraft carriers have been dispatched to protect rescue and search work at the scene of the downed British airliner which was shot down yesterday off the South China coast. The Department said 2 Chinese Communist planes deliberately shot down the plane which had 18 persons aboard. The Department issued a statement saying the United States takes the gravest view of the act, which it called one of further barbarity for which the Chinese Communist regime must be held responsible.

The statement was Issued by Secretary of State Dulles. He said that the action to be taken by the United States in connection with what he called the wanton attack will be announced later. The pilot of the transport, Captain Blown, did not identify the attacking fighters precisely. said they were propeller jets, and that they were cream colored. He said they fired what appeared to be a mixture of incendiaries and plain bullets.

21 (East Taylor was very quiet and pro-Shivers all the way. It passed a resolution commending administration: "Whereas Allan Shivers has given Texas an outstanding administration as a Governor, and whereas Ailan Shivers wants the people of Texas to have a voice in building a strong National Democratic Party, now therefore, be it resolved by this Democratic precinct convention that we commend the leadership of Governor Allan Shivers and join with him in the effort to maintain the intergrity and in- fluence of the Democratic Party of Texas." The loyalist faction, those who supported the national par- I ty in 1952. attempted to condemn cross-filing, which permitted the pro-Shivers group to vote for President Eisenhower and Shivers in the Republican col- umn in 1952. A Supreme Court ruling Friday dismissed an effort of Jefferson County Democrats to base delegate strength to county and state conventions only on votes cast for Allan Shivers in the Democratic column two years ago. Such an interpretation would favor liberal precincts.

Then the State Democratic Executive Committee ordered the count to be based on vote regardless of party. Shivers' name was cross-filed by the publican Dwight D. Eisenhower 1 for President. Precinct 13, led by Amas Peters succeeded in passing a weak resolution, resolving this con- vention go on record as affirm- i. taith thi.

Precinct conventions lead up to the county convention on July 31 and the party state convention on September 14. In the Democratic convention, the is, sue will be whether the Texas Democratic Party organization, headed by Gov. Shivers, will re' tain control, or whether the loyalist will gain control of the party machinery in many counties this coming week, or statewide in September.

Precinct 21 elected Herbert Patterson permanent precinct and Jerry Pavlik precinct convention secretary. Precinct 13 elected Amos Peters Sr. chairman of the county convention delegation. Precinct 27 elected K. L.

McConchie permanent chairman and Mrs Alma Lee Holman secretary. None of the conventions lasted more than 30 minutes. FOR UT.

Previously, Knowland had said he would not compromise but would hold the Senate in session indefinitley until a vote could be obtained. He did not indicate buster. Senator Wayne Morse of Oregon, one of the main endurance speakers, also says frankly that's what it is.
