Increases; Truman Fight Tightens Prospects of a convention dead lock In the Republican battle to nominate a presidential candidate were increasing today. At the same time, the lines were drawn tighter in the Democratic intra-party fight over President Truman’s civil rights program. Latest Republican development was the assertion of Harold E. Stas sen. one of the thjee top candidates, that nobody was going to be named very early in the Philadelphia con vention—and private acknowledge ment in the camps of Gov. Dewey of New York and Senator Taft of Ohio that if some one doesn’t give way quickly -a dark horse may win. In the Democratic sector, the Texas State convention, meeting at Brownwood refused to instruct its convention delegates to bolt the national convention if President Truman is renominated, but called for a fight against him and his j civil rights program. Texas, how ever, will support the nominee, who i ever he may be. Stassen Off Again Today. Preparing to take off today on a seven-State swing, Mr. Stassen told a news conference here yesterday that despite his defeat by Gov. Dewey in Oregon last week, he still have more combined first and sec ong choice support for the nomina tion than either Gov. Dewey or Senator Taft, the other two leaders in the race. Mr. Stassen insisted his chances are good, despite the prestige and 12 Oregon votes he lost to Gov. Dewey. He contended he has enough j first and second choice strength in sight so that it “adds up to a possible nomination.” In this connection, the former Minnesota Governor said nine of | his backers were among the 12 actually elected as delegates in Oregon. The 12 are bound by law to sup port Gov. Dewey as long as he is a contender. But after that, Mr. Stassen said he will get the nine votes. Dewey Laughs at Statement. In Cleveland. Gov. Dewey smiled when informed of Mr. Stassen's statement that he would eventually get nine Oregon votes. "That is the biggest laugh I have had in a long time, and you can quote me on that,” he said. Texas Republicans went for Sen ator Taft yesterday in one of the windup State meetings before the national convention opens June 21. The Ohio Senator picked up 30 of the Lone Star State's 33 votes; Gov. Dewey got two and Mr. Stas sen one. Mr. Stassen went to Massachu setts today for a luncheon meeting with that State's convention dele-j igation. Its 35 votes are expected to be cast for Senator Saltonstall on the first ballot. They may scatter after that. Negro, White Law Schools j On Par, Oklahoma Asserts By th* Associated Press NORMAN. Okla.. May 26—Okla homa now is offering Negroes law school education facilities that are substantially equal to those available to white students, the State con tended in testimony yesterday.

P"V ■ ft fl i ■■■ ■H ; w.*m WSmA ' gU Ilf PH ■ j Garageman Routs Four Bandits With Flaming Acetylene Torch By the Associated Press CHICAGO, May 26.—Four hooded ' gunmen got a red hot reception— flames from an acetylene torch— when they attempted to hold up Joseph Dagy, 51, in his auto repair shop in suburban Cicero last night. Mr. Dagy, using the torch like a flame thrower, told police the gun men fired several shots as they fled to the street and drove away in a car parked near his shop. None of the wildly fired shots struck Mr. Dagy or his wife, Ger trude, 38, nor one of his eight children, Joseph, 10, who also were in the shop. Mr. Dagy told police he was weld ing a fender with the torch when the gunmen entered. When one came within arm’s reach he turned the flaming torch into his face. The gunman ran screaming from the shop, the garageman said. “The flame went out after I socked the first one, I think.” he related. “But I hit the others with the tip and that was still red hot. Maybe I branded them.” Mr. Dagy weighs only 150 pounds. He said most of the day’s re ceipts had been taken to a bank earlier, but “I guess I got real mad at those guys. We’ve got a lot of mouths to feed. (The chil dren range in age from 18 months to 18 years.) I guess I was burned UP" Senator Feazel to Serve On District Committee Senator Feazel, Democrat, of Louisiana, who was sworn in thia week to succeed the late Senator Overton, will serve on the Senate District Committee, the Democratic Senate Steering Committee an nounced today. Senator Sparkman, Democrat, of Alabama will be transferred from the District Committee to the Public Works Committee, Minority Leader Barkley said after the meeting. Another committee change, he said, will be the transfer of Senator Chavez, Democrat, of New Mexico from the Civil Service to the Appro priations Committee. This will still leave a Democratic vacancy on the Civil Service Committee. Senator Barkley said the vacancy would be filled within a few days. Philippines to Ask U. S.
