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

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

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

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

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.

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.

James Dickason Hosklns, 90,
