...Georgia, the officially recognized Republican faction took a chink out of Taft's Southern armor in ten district conventions. Results: ten delegates for Ike, one for Taft, one for Warren, one uncommitted. ¶ In Louisiana, where Eisenhower supporters tried to outmaneuver the pro-Taft party leaders, Republicans split wide open and wound up in a whole series of rump sessions.

However, allied tanks which now & then push out on raids have run into heavy antitank minefields. Communist armor has recently begun to reappear on roads leading to the front. In the past two months, more than 30 enemy tanks have been destroyed, some 20 more damaged...
