Taft Rift Deepens in Topeka Kansas Delegates Row
In Topeka on Kansas Day the Taft and Eisenhower factions clashed as the Republican State Committee failed to complete plans for selecting Kansas delegates to the National Convention. The session adjourned without fixing a site or date for the statewide convention or finalizing the delegates at large. District conventions were set at several cities, with the Taft forces denouncing the four at large delegates as undemocratic and urging the state convention to decide.

Soviet Reneging Blasted in U.N. Political Committee
In Paris on January 29 the United Nations Political Committee condemned the Soviet Union for failing to honor its 1945 treaty with Chiang Kai-shek's Chinese government. The 24 to 9 vote with 25 abstentions followed charges by Soviet Delegate Jacob Malik of American-backed forces in Burma aiding Chinese Nationalists. The U.S. denied the charges, while Burma lamented possible Kuomintang aggression, and U.S. officials defended Washington’s role in Burma’s Nationalist issue.
