14 The Statesmen, Salsnn, Oregon, Thursday. April 34, HS2 Ike Group Predicts First-Ballot Victory By The Associated Prrsa Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's new victories in Pennsylvania and New York prompted his campaign managers to predict Wednesday that the five-star general will be nominated on the first ballot at the Republican National Convention in July. The results apparently propelled Eisenhower within close hailing distance of his chief rival. Sen. Robert A. Taft, for the first time in I the race for delegates to the GOP 1 Supreme Court Outlaws City Theatre Tax The 3 per cent theater admis nions tax imposed by the city of I Eugene was ruled out by the state supreme court Wednesday. The court held that the city's charter does not permit such a tax. Circuit Judge G. F. Skipworth. I-ane County, previously upheld the tax. The'high court decree re verses his decision. The suit was brought by the Eugene Theater Company and the Western Amusement Company against the city. "The tax imposed by the Eugene ordinance does not possess any of the earmarks of a license or occu pation tax," Justice Walter Tooze wrote: "In determining the question whether a city has the power to levy a particular tax the charter Is strictly construed in favor of the taxpayer. But once the power is established, a more liberal rule of construction applies as to its exerci5e. If power is expressly granted a municipal corporation to levy particular taxes it excludes by implication power to levy other taxes. "The tax imposed by the Eugene ordinance does not possess any of the earmarks of a license or occu pation tax. It is a sales tax." "Does the charter of the city of Eugene vest it with power to levy that sort of tax? We find nothing in the charter that expressly con fers that power, nor do we think it can be implied from the power to impose and collect license taxes. It follows, therefore, that that part of the ordinance which provides for a 3 per cent tax upon the total admission charges is void and un enforceable." 3 Salem Students iSoniinated for 4Ugly Man' at U.O.

And they contended that Taft made a remarkable pop ularity showing without a cam paign and without having his name on the ballot. The latest Associated Press tab ulation - based on pledges, ex pressions of views of delegates or other indications - showed Eisen hower with 220 relegates as com pared with 239 for Taft. The Taft camp disputes these figures, claiming Taft has 267 delegates to date. Adds Delegate The AP tabulation Indicated Eisenhower had picked up a pos sible 100 delegate votes while Taft gained 27 in the two big pri maries. A total of 603 is needed to cap ture the nomination. In the Democratic camp, the late-starting W. Averell Harriman took over the lead in delegate strength in a single swoop from Senator Estes Kefauver, 90 to 73 17. This was based on Harriman's apparent hold on 88 of the 90 del egates elected in his native New York. Needed to nominate are 616. Along with his surge forward in de 1 e g a t e strength, Eisenhower showed vote-pulling prowess m the popularity" phase of the Pennsylvania primary - the big gest in the East. There was no "popularity" contest in New York, the voting was only for delegates. Large Margin Eisenhower not only rolled up a 765,000-vote margin over Taft in Pennsylvania, but also got more votes on the Democratic ticket than any of the avowed Democra tic candidates except Senator Ke fauver. No names were listed on the Democratic ballot; all votes were write-ins. Nearly complete returns - 8.385 out of Pennsylvania's 8.421 pre cincts - gave Eisenhower 847,420, Taft write-in 172.829, Harold E. Stasscn 121,151. On the Democratic ticket - 8,067 out of 8,421 precincts - Kefauver scored 87.844, President Truman who said he won't run 25.699. Eis enhower 78.266, Gov. Adlai Stev enson of Ilinois 2,941, Harriman 1,563. Groundwork For Reds Said Laid in India A good groundwork for Com munism is laid in India, but the United States can change the pic ture by confidence, appreciation and better propaganda .according to Dr. Victor H. Sword of Salem. The former Baptist missionary told Salem Exchange Club on Wednesday that Americans should learn that two-way sharing, rather than giving, is the key to winning friends for the country. He urged that the U. S. have confidence in India's integrity, improve eco-" nomic and political relationships, remove racial prejudice, help In dian students in this country and have greater appreciation of the spiritual values which India stresses. Sword said Prime Minister Ja waharlal Nehru, whom he knew, has a background of a rich fam, training in England and strong socialistic tendencies. He added that Nehru had felt the need to be on the left politically in order to show the Indian people the need for a revolution to gain freedom. This contrasted with Gandhi, who "lived on the level where the people had to" and was believed implicitly. Despite some discontent with Nehru's program, said Sword, it has accomplished great reforms in land ownership, agriculture, health and education, and more than 63 per cent of the people voted in the last election. Sword, now a Salem business man, said that the more than 1,500 Indian students now in the U. S. are a "golden opportunity" for this country to show its good points and send its ideas to India.

DOWNSTAIRS STORE IJWJIJUIDMj Harriman to Keep Position As Aid Chief WASHINGTON (P)-W. Averell Harriman Wednesday night reject ed a demand that he either resign his post as foreign aid chief or get out of the race for the Demo cratic presidential .nomination. The demand came from Chair man Richards (D-SC) of the House Foreign Affairs Commit tee who issued a statement on Cap itol Hill declaring: "The very nature of our foreign aid program requires a non-partisan approach and bi-partisan sup port in Congress and the country, and it should be headed by a man who is not actively engaged as a candidate in domestic politics." Several hours later, Harriman said in a statement: "In answer to inquiries, I want to make it clear that I will not per mit my candidacy for the Demo cratic nomination for president to interfere with my responsibilities as director of mutual security. "It is a common and well-ac cepted practice for men holding public office in this country to seek nomination for other offices. "I shall continue, as I have in the past, to make my views known in public speeches on the basic and inseparable issues of domestic and foreign policy which face our country today."
