Dwight I). Kisenhower received approximately 1.12,(X/J ■ more vote.-, than Sen. Robert A. Taft in the New Jersey presi dential preferential primary, almost complete returns showed Wednesday. I he general's hackers, who included (»ov. Alfred K. Driscoll and a nnmher of other state COR leaders, interpreted the re sults a- an unblemished triumph for their man. However, Taft's backers claimed a "moral" victory because the senator repudi ated the primary, tried to withdraw his name, and refused to conduct a personal campaign. Although he ordered his state headquarters closed, his Xew Jersey supporters conducted an active campaign. , I he voters also expressed a presidential preference and also elected .IS delegates to the Republican nominating convention. I he delegates are unpledged, but Kiscnhower forces claimed! that .17 oi the 38 would support Hisenhowcr’s bid for the nomi J nation. ’President Truman assailed . . . . . . Wednesday the economy bloc in Congress for thwarting his federal flood control recommendations and Invited the governors of seven! flood-stricken states of the Middle West to join hitn in "lobbying" for . an over all Missouri basin program. He made an aerial survey of the water-logged upper Midwest Wednesday. The president landed in Omaha as it and its sister city of Council Bluffs' la., braced for the highest Missouri river crest in history. Kmphauizing that he was "not running for office” and was speaking as the "lobbyict for 155,000,000 Americans,” the president told the governors that he wanted them to join in an admitted pressure pro gram on Congress to approve his 1953 fiscal year budget for flood, control. Five of the governors were Republicans and two were Democrats, including Gov. Aillai Stevenson of Illinois on whom President Truman reportedly has looked with favor as the 1952 Democratic presidential, • nominee. Governor Ad la i E. Stevenson . . . ... said Wednesday he "could not accept the nomination for any other office" than that of Illinois governor, closing the door on his . possible draft as Democratic presidential nominee. “I have been urged to announce my candidacy for the Democratic nomination for president," Stevenson said, "but I am a candidate for the governor of Illinois and I cannot run for two offices at the same time." He said he has stated repeatedly that lie has no other ambitions, j Truce negotiations . . . ... on Russia and airfield issues lasted only 20 seconds Wednesday, i . but there was a growing belief that recessed prisoner discussions would ! be resumed soon ami reach a showdown. Vice Admiral C. Turner Joy nevertheleses continued to delay his j reply to a Communist proposal to renew discussion on whether war captives shull be permitted to refuse repatriation. Communist soldiers, backed by mortar . . . ... and artillery fire, captured a hill from the Allies Wednesday in ! one of our engagements on the western front. Some 75 Communists drove back an Allied advance position west, cj Korangpori after a 25-minute clash. However, the Allies repulsed an enemy probe in the area later. Joint negotiation sessions ... .. . between Western Electric officials and representatives of the Communications Workers of America (CIO) broke up today with "no progress" reported in settling the 10-day old telephone strike. Union leaders of the striking 16,000 Western Electric employees stalked out of the joint meetings at 2:30 a.m. and refused to comment. They were followed by company officials and federal mediators who both reported no progress had been made. Price stabilizer Ellis Arnall . . . .. . said Wednesday price controls "had better" be junked if the government yields to steel industry demands for price increases. Arnall gave the Senate labor committee a 7000 word statement de fending his position that the government cannot give in to steel makers’ demands for raises of $12 a ton. The wage stabilization board’s proposal for settlement of the steel dispute would raise production costs $4.50 to $6.50 per ton over an 18 month period, Arnall said. This would add $300 a year to the average family’s expenses.
