(AP) Gov. Price Daniel today nominated Rep. Frank Ikard of Wichita Falls as temporary chairman of the state Democratic convention to be held here tomorrow. Daniel ended speculation on his choice in a speech before the state Democratic Executive Committee. It drew the lines for a sharply defined issue between coalition of conservatives and middle-of-thea, roaders against liberals in the convention.

Judge Nominated The liberals have nominated Dist. Judge Jim Sewell of Corsicana for temporary chairman. Daniel said Ikard "has first in his mind the best interest of Texas and the Democratic party." The governor referred to Ikard as "one of the outstanding crats of the state and nation." Ikard was regarded as a choice who would be highly acceptable to both Senate Majority, Leader Lyndon B. Johnson House Speaker Sam Rayburn. Neither Johnson nor Rayburn was on hand to take an active part in convention affairs but political professionals looked on Ikard as a candidate with a good chance to follow the moderate pattern Johnson has urged on Texas Democrats.

Statement Applauded The governor's announcement was met with applause with some boos audible. Daniel said it was his duty and obligation as titular head of the party in Texas to make the recommendation to the committee. Ikard is a life-long Democrat, a former district judge, and a member of congress since 1951. He is a member of the powerful House Ways and Means and the key committee on Committees in the House. "He has the ability, the integrity and parliamentary experience necessary to make an excellent presiding officer for this Daniel said.

The Nationalists warned this weekend that bombers would attack Red artillery positions if the bombardment re- sumed.

Only three MIGs of a flight of 12 escaped undamaged.

A Nationalist announcement said 12 MIG17s approached equal number of Nationalist' Sabres from the rear. The Sabrejet flight leader barked over his radio: "Let's around and get them." and the battle was on. The jet fought a series of diving battles for eight minutes about 16 miles off the China coast. Capt. Chin Ping-chun followed one MIG in a screaming dive from 30.000 to 8,000 feet and nearly exhuasted his ammunition in furious bursts before he destroyed the Sovietbuilt plane.

Capt. Liu Hsien-wu destroyed two MIGs within six minutes for the only multiple claim. All the downed MIGs crashed into ths sea, some in flames. One Red pilot was seen to bail out. Using the extra speed advantages gained from dives, several Sabrejets closed to within 200 feet of MIGS before destroying them.

He said the joint committee had considered the idea and decided against it. Nixon's speech was regarded by his associates as a major outline of his individual views, with more likely to come later. Some of his associates are understood to have been urging him to establish a greater measure of independence from the Eisenhower administration.
