April 14 (P) Japanese whalers chanted in a Buddhist temple today for the souls of the 1321 big mammals caught last winter. "They are not Just cold fish," ex plained one weather-beaten old whaler. "Their souls must be con soled and rest In Nirvana because they are mammals and a kin to us." It all but snuffed out the dying hopes of Oen. Douglas MacArtnur's supporters. But it left intact the darkhorao poaslbllitiea of Senator Arthur Van. denbe. -, secure in fourth place In a race be spurned. The count in yesterday's free- for-all primary from 1521 of the state's 2024 precincts was: Stassen 58.520; Dewey 44.818; Taft 15.079; Vandenberg, 5789; MacArthur 4956; Oov. Earl Warren of California 1290. and House Speaker Joseph Martin 606. Along with his victory in the free- for-all popularity contest, Stassen appeared likely to wrao un as a 41st birthday present the first-ballot sup port at the Philadelphia convention of at least 13 of the state's 15 delegates. One t npledrrd On the basis of incomplete returns. Dewey had a chance to get one dele gate and another possible winner was unpledged. Of the 13 who said they would vote for the primary winner on the first nominating test at the national con. ventlon, five also pledged to support him aa long aa he haa a chance for the nomination. The delegates are not bound by the popular vote In the primary. Charles Reed. Omaha attorney and Nebraska manager of Vandenberg's unsuccessful presidential camiiaign in 1940. was leading the list of' can didates running in state-wide race for seven of the 15 delegate post.

Renominated Republicans renominated Senator Kenneth Wherry, acting GOP sen ate leader, and Oov. Val Peterson. Democrats gave a long lead to for mer Rep. Terry Carpenter for their senatorial nomination. Frank Sor rell was unopposed for the demo cratic gubernatorial nomination. But it waa Stassen. the untiring young fellow from Minnesota, who rode off with the political glory in a state where he himself had thought the outcome ao doubtful he made only cautious pre-vote predictions of victory. The total vote in the primary seemed unlikely to exceed 310.000, with republicans casting about 160,- 000 ballots and democrats 50.000. Stassen sent the republican organ ization headed by Senator Hugh Butler (R-Neb.) down to it worst defeat Taft, supported by the Butler group, never had a chance.

The former Minnesota governor planned to resume campaigning in Ohio tomorrow with appearance at Hiram college and at Youngs town. Dewey and Stassen meet head-on in the May 21 Oregon primary. A loss for Dewey there like those In Wisconsin and Nebraska would put the New York governor almost wholly out of the presidenUal race.
