Taft's Chips Down In Wisconsin Primary By LYLE C. WILSON Washington (U.R) The temational Exposition in San Francisco opened January 1, 1892. re- The California Midwinter In- j turns from the Wisconsin presi dential primary wm De in one week from Wednesday. If Sen. Robert A. Taft does well in Wisconsin his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination will receive 'a most useful boost. A reverse in Wis consin would hurt the Taft cam paign badly. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower is not entered in Wisconsin. Gov. Earl Warren of California is represented by a slate of conven tion delegate-candidates who al so are friendly to Ike. They are so friendly that the Warren vote reasonably may be interpreted a week from Wednesday as very substantially an expression of Vffitou TENDER -(mou oiliciousi -' " One V' ' A Vi Stocking ' 1 with VJ Seven Features Ik A At last, Nolde Nylons brings you the stocking with : SheeracM die magic of a jet-black aeam on 60 gauge nylon Clunoae naughty-bat-nice lace imeit in the welt Flatter; ' luxurious doll finish Beany dimming new Princes Reel ' Fit three proportioned length " Endnrance-hith-twist 60 gauge IS denier nylon FaaMoa -a delicate shell foot Aik for "Seventh Heaven" -the out-of-thu-icorld ' stocking at a down-to-earth price A.

Stassen also has a slate of delegate-candidates, but Tuesday night he announced he would give half of any elected to Eisenhower on the first ballot at the Republican national con vention. The former Minnesota governor's move was regarded in general as a bid for support from voters favoring Eisen hower. Stassen is not likely to get any support from fringe sup porters of Taft, especially now. Gen. Douglas MacArthur has disavowed the slate of delegates entered in his behalf but with out his name being on the bal lot. That disavowal should be more advantageous to Taft than to other entries. No Write-in Voles Neither Ike nor MacArthur can be written-in on the Wiscon sin ballot." Nor is there any per sonal popularity vote, as there was in New Hampshire and Min nesota. The Wisconsin primary is for election of convention delegates only. Wisconsin was the state orig inally chosen by Taft's managers for a show of his strength. De-' cision to go into New Hamp shire and New Jersey primaries came later. The senator lost in New Hampshire and withdrew from New Jersey. The chips emphatically are. down in Wisconsin for Taft He is making a terrific campaign. Warren's stake also is great If the governor fails to make a reasonably good showing, his stock as a vote-getter outside California will suffer. Truman Not on Ballot Delegates favorable to Presi dent Truman are entered in the Wisconsin primary although the president's name will not be on the ballot. Sen. Estes Kefauver is bucking the administration there for Democratic convention votes. Nebraska's primary falls on the same day as .Wisconsin's. There it is Kefauver against the administration's Sen. Robert S. Kerr of Oklahoma in a popular ity contest. Write-in is okay in Nebraska. Movements are stirring to write in both Taft and Eisenhower. Stassen is . formally entered in Nebraska's primary opposed by Mrs. Mary Kenny who favors MacArthur. The Nebraska prim ary does not pledge delegates to either convention to support any person. Wisconsin's does.

Hopes To Avert Portland Transit Strike Increased Portland (U.R) A citizens committee resumed its task of working out Portland's transpor tation problems Wednesday as Portland Traction Company President Gordon Steele made two offers that raised hopes that an AFL bus drivers' strike set for next Tuesday, can be averted. Steele said: 1. "If the city council ap proves an increase in fares prior to April 1, I pledge every effort to bring about an adjustment of the wage controversy to avert any disruption in Portalnd trac tion operations." To Use Federal Service 2. "We will make use of the federal conciliation service or any other agency that can be helpful" in bringing about a set tlement. Earlier, Harvey Thomas, busi ness agent for the union, had asked the federal mediation serv ice to intervene. Commissioner Bob McClelland said he would arrange a meeting between the company and the union. The fed eral conciliator said he would meet separately with traction company officials, and then would ask for a joint session with both disputing parties in an effort to find a common area of agreement. May Study Problems Meanwhile, Fulton Magill, pub lic utilities consultant of Tacoma, ' may be called upon to make a study of the city's transportation problems. The city council has asked City Attorney Alexander G. Brown to contact Magill in a new effort to solve operating problems of the company.
