GOP Factions Battle Over Chairmanship in South Carolina
In Columbia South Carolina rival GOP factions contested the state party chairmanship with Frank L Sudfeld asserting a new chair would be named while Edgar Morris disputed the move as illegal. The Gerald led faction met to proceed, Morris and W Edward Moore clashed over leadership and Moore faced removal as secretary. Moore backed Eisenhower allies and Morris said he would skip the illegitimate gathering. Washington then set a Thursday meeting as factions spar for control. William A Kimbel reported 120 federal appointments in SC with one to a Gerald pick and Moore floated for federal housing administrator.
