Senator Bridges Warns Of Defeat Blissful Farewell In Nov. If GOP Quarrels Continue Party Unity Is Stressed By Leading Political Figures CHICAGO #—— Senate: Republi- ean Leader Styles Bridges told the GOP convention today it must patch up party quarrels or “al- most certainly go down to defeat in November.” The veteran New Hampshire leg- islator appeared on the conven- tion’s second - day morning pro- gram along with other party lead- ers — Sen. James Kem of Mis- souri, Rep. Marguerite Church of Illinois and Chicago Councilman Archibald Carey Jr. In a prepared address, Bridges delivered a scathing attack on the Democratic Party. He called for @ united front of Republicans, now unsettled by the close race be- tween Gen. Dwight Eisenhower mate: ‘Ben Robert A. Taft for “The Republican Party is be- set,” Bridges said, “by stormy, bitter wrangling forces. . . . This party cannot succeed if this bitter- oe after the conven- “Let us heed this warning—un- less the Republican Party stands in a solid phalanx behind the choice of this convention for the presidency of the United States, we will almost certainly go down to defeat = November.” A ican defeat in the pres- sdential slostion then, Bridges said, would spell ‘‘the end of the 2-party system as we know it.” But he said he does not expect the GOP to lose in the fall. Bridges characterized the Dem- ocrats as a party itself divided on issues like civil rights. He said the administration must take re- sponsibility for ‘‘inflation, public debt, high taxes and deficit finan- He said all segments of the na- tion have lost confidence in the Democratic administration and are calling for a change. Sen. Kem and Rep. Church ex- horted the convention to sweep the Democrats from office lest the country plunge into socialization and possibly dictatorship. Kem, in his prepared talk, up- braided the administration for its foreign and domestic policies. Call- ing for a Republican victory in November, he said the general election’s stake was ‘the very structure of our government.” “Never in our history has the ster been so brazenly de- , the law so openly flouted, or the rights of the people so defiant- Jy trampled underfoot,” Kem said. He added: “Our founding fathers never in- tended to give the President of the United States the powers of a dic- tator.”” Kem said all dictators have characterized themselves as “the friend of the people.” President Truman, he said, has declared the President has the power. “to do what is right for the people’—in other words, he may do what he, and he alone, thinks is right for the people .. .” Rep. Church said Democratic ad- | the ministrations during the past 20 years have evidenced an “envelop- ing trend toward socialization of | industry and of every phase of American living.” This trend, she said, gained im- petus from those who planned it, those who fostered it as a vote- getting means and those, even | some Republicans, who fail to see “the disastrous end.” “A Republican (election) victory based on Republican principles,” she said in her prepared speech, “is vital for our very survival.” New Gamblers JACKSONVILLE — New occu pational gambling stamps issued by the collector of internal revenue included these: For the year ended June 30 James Monroe Burch, 619 Cleery Ave. Sanford; Mary Anderson, Star Route 2, Box 48, DeLand For 1952-53: Henry Frenchy Hen. derson, 227 W.

The tentatively seated delega- tions from Georgia and Florida now lean toward Sen. Taft. The committee will consider these contests: Florida — The Spades-Alexander faction, predominantly Taft, vs. the Wesley Garrison grass-roots group which favors Eisenhower. Georgia — The Foster faction, unanimous in support of Taft, vs. the W. R. Tucker group, predomi- nantly Eisenhower. The Garrison and the Tucker groups lost out last week in rulings by the National Republican Com- mittee. The Credentials Committee, which acts like an appellate court, may hear no new evidence but will listen to a réview of that presented the National Committee.

TALLAHASSEE (®—The Cabinet today overrode adverse recom- mendations of the State Hospital Advisory Council and ordered prep- aration of plans for construction alcoholics at Avon Park.

The 1951 Legislature levied a special tax on whisky and put it into a fund for construction of an alcoholics hospital at Avon Park. About $250,000 already has ac- cumulated in the fund, and the total may amount to $500,000 by the end of the new business year. However, the Hospital Advisory Council which must pass on all projects for participation of federal money recommended that no such hospital for alcoholics be built, and Director Walter E. Keyes of the Improvement Commission said he had similar adverse recommenda- tions from the U. S. surgeon Gen- eral’s office. He said every state has built institutions has abandoned them, and no state now is operating one. He said hey had run into prob- fems of staffing and that state hospitalization didn’t seem to be tthe way to deal with alcoholism. Keyes told the Cabinet he could- n't design such an institution until he knew whether there were to be facilities for medical treatment, or just a place “for impounding people for a drying out Period.” | Secretary of State R.

Taxi Cabs And Buses A special meeting will be held Monday, July 14, with regard to settling disputes that now exist as to the parking of buses and taxi cabs on Duval St. Eisner favors that taxis be moved onto Southard St. Delaney objected to anything being done in this regard at the present time. Eisner pointed out that there was no hesitation on the part of commissioners when taxis were moved from in front of the La Concha Hotel to Fleming St. and he wanted to know what difference there was in the pres- ent situation.
