COOKIES Two Key Tuesday's Milwaukee, Wis. -(UPD- The Wisconsin primary, the reput ed "graveyard of presiden tial hopefuls, will be run Tuesday. Sen. Hubert Humphrey (D' Minn.) and Sen. John Ken nedy (D-Mass.) are pitted in the only contest, with Vice President Richard Nixon run ning unopposed on the Re publican ticket in a sort of "vote of confidence" race. The question seems to be: Can Humphrey outpoll Ken nedy or blur the easterner's victory enough to set back Kennedy's present position as the leading contender for the Democratic presidential nomi nation? Two key factors must be considered in the contest. Kennedy is Catholic and about a third of Wisconsin is Catholic. Wisconsin primary rules also permit Republicans, who have no contest in their column, to cross over and vote Democratic. Just what will happen in the polling booths tomorrow is complicated by several im portant unknowns. Nobody knows exactly how much the religious issue will solidify both Republican and Democratic Catholics in favor of Kennedy. Or for that mat ter, how many Protestants of both parties will vote against Kennedy. And since this Is the first contested Democratic race in the Wisconsin primary in re cent years, it is not known just how heavy the Demo cratic vote will be. Best guesses are that nearly a mil lion, or perhaps more than the Maurine Neuberger Sorting Volumous Papers of By A. ROBERT SMITH Mill Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington - Mrs. Maurine Neuberger is working day and night sifting the voluminous files of a man who was a copious cor reap ondent and who nev er threw any thing away. The widow of the late Sen. Richard L. Neuberger A. Row. smith VLl vre.) nas been given a small makeshift office in the old Senate Office Building across the hall from the five-room suite her hus band occupied as an Oregon senator. There, amidst the long row of filing cabinets, Mrs. Neu berger has gone to work de termining what should be kept and what thrown out. "Dick never threw anything away," she said. "He must have answered every letter he received and kept the corres pondence on file." Correspondence with Adlal Stephenson and other leading fjgures will, naturally, be kept. But where to draw the line is a puzzler. Mrs. Neuberger offered a clue to the senator's capacity for keeping up such a heavy personal correspondence, of ten a subject of amazement to those who realized that a senator leads a busy life. Paper in Typewriter "Dcforc he went to bed at night, he would almost always put a piece of paper In his typewriter, and start out with 'Dear John' or whoever he planned to write to. Next morning he would start by finishing the letter." Or, she said, whenever he had a few spare minutes he never spent it Idly. He would sit down at his typewriter and peck out a note to a friend on a subject close to his heart. Mrs. Neuberger said she will be here until May 9. That's the deadline she faces in disposing nf her husbands papers. The Senate allows 60 d)S following the death of a HUMPHREY MEETS SUPPOHTEHS Sen. Hubert Humphrey and his wife, Muriel, hake hands with backers at the Milwaukee Factors Being Considered in Wisconsin Primary Election 1952 record of 1,018,000 votes will be cast. Presidents Roosevelt and Truman, and Sen. Estes Ke- fauver (D-Tcnn.) have had the Democratic side of the Wis consin primary all to them selves since 1940. Kefauver won in 1952 and 1956, but this did not mean he got the presidential nomination. Dewey Stopped Willkie On the Republican side, Thomas Dewey won in 1940 to put Sen. Arthur Vanden-- berg of Michigan out of the running, but the New Yorker did not win the nomination. In 1944, Dewey won again and stopped Wendell Willkie from getting a second nomination. In 1948 Republican winner was Harold Stassen, who thereby cooled Gen. Douglas MacArthur's ambitions but did not win the nomination himself. In 1952, Ohio's Sen. Robert Taft won, but he fal tered before Gen. Dwight D. Elsenhower at the Republican convention. President Eisen hower was unopposed in 1956. As in all Wisconsin elec tions, it will be Milwaukee county against the rest of the state tomorrow night. With an impetus from a hot race for mayor, a third of the votes will be cast in metropolitan Milwaukee. If Kennedy's rated strength holds true here, he should be able to win the popular vote as ex pected. Strong With Farmers Humphrey's chance to de tract from Kennedy s victory lies in his conceded strength in rural farm areas. If the Minnesotan wins in six of the Husband senator for the closing out of his office. . Nouberger's staff remains on the payroll until then as a matter of course - but in this instance, many of them have shifted over to work for Sen. Hall S. Lusk, Neuberger's suc cessor until election day. Mrs. Neuberger said she plans to return to Oregon in May to make preparations for her election campaign. She is opposed in the May 20 pri mary by Henry Fowler and in the general election by ex Gov. Elmo Smith. She is not running for dele gate to the Democratic Na tional Convention, as original ly she had planned to do be fore her husband's death cata pulted her into a contest for the Senate. Neither is Sen. Wayne Morse running as a delegate. But he said he expects to be named as alternate, which will give him floor privileges at the convention. Morse will be on the Oregon ballot as a presidential candidate. Oregon's three Democratic representatives are all run ning for delegate at large. This will give them a chance to test their strength state wide. So are the state's top Re publicans running for dele gates at large to the GOP convention. Gov. Mark O. Hatfield and Rep. Walter Nor blad are among them, as is Sig Unander, now a member of the Federal Maritime Board here In Washington. Program Planned by West Side School Dads of West Side school will present a variety show Tuesday, April 5. at 7:15 p.m. at the school. The event will assist the student body fund, it whs reported. Included on the program j will be John Day, who will I show his colored motion pic-1 tures of Xodiak bear hunting In Alaska: a skit featuring j Dr. Eugene Ray and dads, and other act. The public is invited to at tend, i 10 congressional districts, he will split the 31 delegate votes evenly with Kennedy. Wisconsin's urban areas are so concentrated that four dis tricts are predominantly rural, and two others - con taining the cities of Madiuon, and Kenosha and Racine -have sufficient farm popula tions to make them uncertain for either candidate. A 1946 referendum vote on a proposal to have public school buses carry parochial school children established a number of counties as heavily Catholic. Among these are Milwaukee county, and Keno sha, Brown and Outamagie counties which contain the large cities of Kenosha, Green Bay and Applcton. Campaign Differently The campaigns by Humph rey and Kennedy have been significantly different even though both fit into the class of Democratic liberals. Humphrey has insisted that the differences in their vot ing records be discussed, but Kennedy maintains that the records are almost alike. The easterner has urged voters to choose between them on the basis of who can win the Democratic nomination and go on to win the general elec tion. Humphrey admittedly has Kennedy on the defensive on such issues as farm policy where the Bostonian's record is out of line with Humph rey's midwestern oriented votes. So Kennedy has avoided a meeting or debate with Hum phrey. This week end in Mil waukee they both appeared on the same television pro-1 gram, but Kennedy refused j to go on with Humphrey, i and they flipped a coin as to who would be first. j The anti - Catholic issue came up twice in the cam- paign, and proved that if Kennedy does win the Demo- j cratic nomination, he and the : nation can expect it to be an Issue in the presidential elec-, tion. Both times the Hum-1 phrey and Kennedy camps strongly repudiated the rais- j ing of bigotry in the campaign ; but it still appeared. . j Republicans Can Cross The likelihood that many ' Catholic Republicans will vote for Kennedy has upset GOP party leaders. Their po sition - and Humphrey's -has been that everyone should vote in his own party. What Coopers Purchase House of Mystery Gold Hill - Mr. and Mrs. Ernest H. Cooper. Gold Hill, have purchased the House of Mystery at Oregon Vortex from Mrs. Mildred Litster, widow of the late John Lit ster. founder of the attraction.

Humphrey, like his opponet. Sen. John Kennedy, is winding up his Wis consin primary campaign. (UPI Telephoto) Republican leaders fear most is tnat Nixon will be left a poor third in the voting, and this will cast a reflection on the general election. Just this week end Republi cans started a push by tele phone canvass to keep the GOP voters in line. Both Humphrey and Ken nedy sought all the help they could get to cover the state thoroughly. Humphrey brought in his wife and family, as well as a host of Democratic office hold ers from Minnesota, and car ried with him a guitar-playing troubador who sang Humphrey campaign songs to his audiences. Kennedy made liberal use of his mother and his num erous brothers and sisters, and got Frank Sinatra to re cord his campaign song. Both men called on sports celebri ties to endorse them. The two campaigners shook thousands of hands. Hum phrey used his oratorical pow ers to hammer at the record and the issues. Kennedy on the other hand concentrated on letting his personality be seen by the greatest possible number of people, and mostly discussed the importance of the presidency and the primary.

'Satisfaction guaranteed or your money back" Jickion at liddlt SP 3 Open Mondftri and Washington - t'PIl - Senate Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen (111.) today accused Walter P. Reuther of making a "stinking statement" before a Senate subcommittee look ing into possible new federal programs to provide medical care for the aged. Reuther, president of the United Auto Workers, was not present when Dirksen an grily denounced him. Reuther was unable to deliver his statement personally because his plane was grounded by bad weather in Pittsburgh. It was read by Leonard Lesser, director of social se curity activities for the AFL CIO. Fancy Footwork In his prepared testimony, Reuther said President Eisen hower indicated at a Feb. 1 news conference that a social security tax hike was being considered to "make greater provision for the care of the aged." "Since that date," Reuther said in the statement, "the GOP's presidential aspirant (Vice President Richard M. Nixon) and Secretary of Health, Education and Wel fare Arthur S. Flemming have been indulging in some fancy footwork designed to cover a retreat from this pres idential promise with some show of forward movement." Republicans Interested Dirksen blew up at this point in the reading of the statement. "I think that is a stinking statement from Walter Reuth er," he told a packed hearing room. Dirksen said the Republic ans, Nixon and Flemming, "are just as Interested as Wal ter Reuther or anyone else" in seeing that old folks get proper medical care., Furthermore, he said, Ei senhower made no such "promise." Lesser Insisted it was pic tured that way in the press. Knoxvllle, Tenn.
