Nebraska GOP
Seek To Establish
Paf tv Bloe
OMAHA, Neb. (^P)—Republican
state party chairmen representing
19 midwest states will meet here
today in what a spokesman de
scribed Saturday as part of an ef
fort to establish a midwest equiv
alent to the ‘‘solid south,” as a unit,
at the national Republican con-!
vention in Philadelphia next year,;
the midwest Republican state
chairmen’s association would rep-1
resent 428 of the 1,093 delegates,
according to association chairman
A. T. “Bert” Howard of Scotts
bluff. Neb.
“The national convention, after
the favorite sons have passed the!
reviewing stand, becomes a great
disorganized body of delegates,
milling like a band of sheep,”
Howard said in an interview. “Ev
ery state chairman in the midwest
group will know pretty generally
the thinking of his delegation and
in that hour of confusion, the or
ganization will show its strength.
“We don’t hope to dictate, but
we want to put ourselves in a po
sition so no one else can dictate.”
Individual names of prospective
Republican Presidential candi
dates aren’t likely to figure in the
Omaha meeting, the chairman in
dicated.
States represented are Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan,
Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska,
Ohio, Oklahoma, North and South
Dakota, Wisconsin, Colorado, Ida
ho, Montana, Utah, Wyoming and
New Mexico.
Butte, Mont., is built over one
of the world’s richest mineral de
posits.

England Sells
Some Gold: Will
Raise Taxes i
A treasury spokesman said the
sale of 20,000,000 pounds sterling
from government reserves was the
first transaction of the kind since
the remaining $400,000,000 of the
$3,750,000,000 American loan was
frozen Aug. 20.
Britain at that time suspended
the right to convert sterling into
dollars.
“Since we can’t get dollars from
the American loan we must draw
on our gold reserves,” the treas
ury man observed.
This action coincided with an
authoritative report that prime
minister Attlee soon would re
shuffle his cabinet, and a predic
tion that Britain’s already heavy I
taxes would be increased this fall
as a bar against inflation.
The chancellor of the exche
quer, in announcing the end of
sterling convertibility Aug. 20,1
said Britain had 600,000,000
pounds sterling ($2,400,000,000)

Search for the missing, aban
doned at midnight, was resumed
this morning in the two-mile
wide stretch of the Firth where
they went down after being buf
feted by a southerly gale.
Loss of the cutter was reported

ter discovery of a body in the wa
ter.

serves in addition to the loan re
sources.
The prediction of new taxes
came from a government source.
