Taft's Headquarters
Anxiously Awaiting
South Dakota Result
By LYLE C. WILSON
Washington (U.R) Taft-for-President
headquarters was
braced for bad news Wednesday
as South Dakota resumed count
ing ballots in this campaign
year's last presidential primary.
Sen. Robert A. Taft was lead
ing Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower
by about 600 votes with a hand
ful of decisive precincts still to
be tabulated.
Seen Taft Territory
South Dakota has been count
ed Taft territory. The senator
campaigned the state. The prize
was only 14 votes in the Repub
lican National Convention but
prestige also was riding on the
result.
With few precincts still out it
was not possible for Taft to pile
up the kind of lead which his
supporters had hoped for and
which many observers believed
he needed to knock down again
the argument most often used
against him. It is that he lacks
political sex appeal.
But Taft had made no pre-vote
predictions of triumph in South
Dakota. His managers hold that
he already is within a few votes
of the minimum 604 necessary to

Licksd in California
A Taft-or-MacArthur slate of
delegates took a licking in Cali
fornia's presidential primary on
the basis of incomplete but ap
parently firm returns. Califor
nia's 70-vote delegation will be
for Gov. Earl Warren on the
first convention ballot and, per
haps, thereafter.
Sen. Estes Kefauver, D-Tenn.,
apparently won California's and
South Dakota's Democratic Na
tional Convention votes, a total
of 76 which boosted his nation
wide count to 251. Kefauver was
opposed in both states by admin
istration slates of delegates al
though President Truman with
held his direct blessing from
them.
Charges of Riot
Faced by Four
College Students
Portland (U.R) Four college
students, accused of firing six
pistol shots into a car occupied
by a high school couple last Fri
day morning, Wednesday faced
charges of riot.
James Collins, deputy district
attorney, said Jack Saunders, 17,
signed the complaint charging
the four with violation of the
little-used riot law. Saunders
and a 17-year-old girl were park
ed oh Portland Heights when the
shots were fired. They were not
injured. .. .
Carries 13-Year Term
The riot charge is a felony and
carries maximum sentence of 15
years is prison upon conviction,
Collins said. He said the charge
can be invoked when three or
more persons act in concert com
mitting any act of force or
violence.
Originally the four youths
were booked for assault with a
deadly weapon, but Collins said
that charge was dropped because
of difficulty in proving the four
accused youths knew the Saun
ders car was occupied.
Shooting Admitted
The four youths, who are free
on bail, admitted the shooting
while "playing around." They
are Kent Arnoly, 20, Portland,
and Michael Armstrong, 19, Ore
gon City, students at University
of Portland: and William K.
Whitlock, 18, and Robert Bur-
dick, 19, both of Portland and
students at University of Oregon,

Liquor in TV, Radio Shows
Tarqet of Prohibitionists
Washington (U.R) Liquor
replaced sex Wednesday as the
target of a congressional inves
tigation of allegedly immoral
television and radio shows.
Prohibitionist and temperance
groups urged a House Commerce
subcommittee to clamp down
on radio and TV programs to
"protect American homes from
the deluge of drunkenness
sweeping the country today."
Legislation Urged
The International Order of
Good Templars, in a statement
prepared for the subcommittee,
said that if the Federal Com
munications commission doesn't
already have the power to curb
liquor advertising and ban
drinking on TV programs," Con
gress should step in the breach
with adequate legislation . . ."
J. Raymond Schmidt, an offi
cial of the Templars, asked:
"Why permit the highly organ
ized and financed brewing in
dustry to bombard non-drinkers,
especially teenage boys and
girls, with their high pressure
selling tactics over radio and tel
evision?" 1
Has Solution
But Rep. Arthur G. Klein, D
N.Y., a subcommittee member,
told a reporter he will stick by
his contention that the solution
to offensive television and radio
programs is to "turn the damned
thing off."
