SALT LAKE CITY, (UP) An appeal to give "the American people an administration dedicated to peace instead of prosperity brought on by war" was voiced here Satur day by Edward D. Crippa, Rock Springs, Wyoming Republican national committeeman. Crippa, keynoting the 1954 Utah' GOP state organization convention, said this could only be accomplished by giving President Eisenhower a solidly Republican Congress in this fall's elections.. The Wyoming political leader told 1,038 delegates that Mr. Eisenhower has made "considerable progress" in the last 15 months toward reversing "dangerous trends" of 20 years of Democratic admin istration. Lists Ike Gains He listed the top five Eisenhower administration accomplishments as: 1. Peace in Korea. 2. Continued removal of securitv risks from government. 3. A cut of 13 billion dollars in government expenses below the President Truman budget. 4. Reduction of some taxes, and clearing the way for other cuts. 5. Proposed peaceful use of atom. ic energy. also Crippa complimented the GOP regime fof proposals jebkh would broaden the social security base, stockpile strategic metals to help Western-mine- s, arrange flexible farm supports, and improve small business admlnistration. Lauds River Project He said he also' was happy about the Republican administration supporting the $934,000,000 Upper Colorado River development project. O. J. Wilkinson, incumbent state Republican chairman, admonished GOP members to do their utmost to assure victory for the party this fall. "Wilkinson said "if we lose this election, we'll probably be out for another 20 years, because if we lose this one, we'll probably lose in n Republicans Seek Ways to Cut Hearing By. HERBERT FOSTER WASHINGTON (UP) Republi cans plan to make a new try Monday to cut short the dragging Ar hearings by putting Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy on the witness stand, informed sources said Saturday. Simultaneously, Sen. Everett M. Dirksen (R-H- l) told reporters he expects to make; a "concrete proposal" to shorten the hearings. He would not disclose details of his plan but said the hearings should "end shortly" if t is accepted. Another source said Dirksen's proposal calls for McCarthy to take the stand to testify and be as tae next and final witness in the inquiry. The stormy . hearings, in recess until Monday, have already run 12 days. McCarthy Reported Willing The source said that under Dirksen's plan, subcommittee counsel Roy ! M.' Cohd and staff director Francis P. Carr would not take the stand to answer Army charges that they; along with McCarthy, used "improper means" to curry favorable trtment for a drafted subcommittee aide, Pvt. G. David Schine. A source close to McCarthy said the Wisconsin Republican would be willing to break off his cross-examination' of Army Secretary Robert T. Stevens if Dirksen's plan is approved. The obviously tiring secretary, has been on and off the stand since the hearings began.
