Last week 500 party bigwigs listened intently as he rose to address a meeting at Philadelphia. Said Fine: "I have no thought in mind as to who our candidate may be . . . My decision will have to wait for the development of real, sound issues." In a manner befitting those who consult oracles, Taft and Eisenhower partisans alike said they thought it was a fine speech.
