troops rushed to Anchieta to' re
store order and found the bodies
of the guards and employes in
the prison compound and some
buildings partly burned.
Troops, air force planes and
boats rushed to this area after
the bloody break-away by some
of Brazils most desperate crimin
als.

cape, the prisoners overpowered
their guards, seized their weap
ons, including machineguns, and
pushed off for the mainland in

Eisenhower Texas
Trip Shows New
Campaign Routine
(By the Associated Press*
The Taft-Eisenhower battle for
Republican presidential nomina
ting votes took on bare-knuckle
aspects Saturday with the general
primed for a “rip-snorter” speech
and the senator saying his defense
is solid.
t
All indications at Denver were
that Gen. Dwight Eisenhower’s
weekend dash to Texas and Nev
ada would mark a departure from
his carefully polite routine to
date.
His chief rival for the GOP
presidential nomination, Ohio’s
Sen. Taft, told a reporter in
Washington:
“I don’t see how the Eisenhow
er people can break through to
win at this point. They have not
made the headway they expected
when he returned home to cam
paign.”
With 604 delegate votes needed
to nominate at the GOP conven
tion July 7 in Chicago, Taft has
467 to Eisenhower’s 392 in the
Associated Press tabulation. This
tally is based on avowed and con
ceded first-ballot alignments.
After flying from Denver to his
Denison, Tex., birthplace Satur
day, Eisenhower goes to Dallas
for conferences and a speech.
Various Eisenhower campaign
ers have called the Texas wrangle
an attempted “steal” by Talt for
ces. The Ohion’s backers retort
that Eisenhower’s Texas follow
ers are really Democrats in dis
guise. The issue—whether a pro
Taft or a pro-Eisenhower delega
tion should be seated—is docket
ed for settlement by the Republi
can national committee.
