Taf t, Stassen Wind Up Battle For Ohio Popularity Vote Today By The Associated Press Senator Robert A. Taft and Har ola E. Stassen wind up their Ohio delegate battle today amid signs that the outcome may sway early GOP presidential balloting at Phila delphia. Both candidates planned last hour appeals over state-wide radio hookups tonight in their contest over 23 of Ohio's 53 presidential nominating votes. Both camps expressed confidence In the results when upwards of 700. 000 republicans go to the polls in tomorrow's primary. Politicians were watching the out come for Its possible effect on foot loose delegations from such states as. Illinois and Pennsylvania, where the bloom of favorite sons might fade quickly. From the Taft camp came reports that a majority of the 56-vote Illi nois grour is ready to come their way .speedily at the national convention. In fact, some of the Taft follow ers are predicting the Ohioan can have 51 on the first ballot, despite previous plans to back Gov. Dwight Green as a favorite son. Green has been named as the national conven tion keynoter. But these Taft supporters admit privately that unless the senator can stand Stassen off with a half dozen or fewer delegates from his own vote orchard, the Illinois plums may tall on the other side of the wall. Taft's hope for support in the 73 vcte Pennsylvania d e le g a 1 1 o n pledged to Senator Edward Martin as a favorite son was said to hlnce In nart on his showing here Gov Thomas E. Dewey of New York, now campaigning to keep Oregon's 12 convention votes out of Stassen's hands, has his eye on th3 Pennsvlvanla, delegation, too. Stassen's backers concede that the Illinois-Pennsylvania delegate line up mav be the battering ram of a stop-Stassen movement. Radio Star Dies Sunday LOS ANGELES, May 3 (Pt Dud Williamson. 45, master of ceremonies for the Mutual Broadcasting System radio show "What's the Name of That Song?" died last night of a heart ailment, his company an nounced today.

Oregon GOP Leaders Scramble For Neutral Sideline Spots As Dewey Launches Drive For State's Primary Preference By B. L. LIVINGSTONE PORTLAND, May S Wt While leading Oregon republicans scram bled for neutral sideline positions. Gov. Thomas E. Dewey set out today on an Intensive quest for Oregon's republican presidential primary preference May 21. It was a clenr-cut race. The only other contender wns Hnrold A. Stassen of Minnesota. Fast Pare Dewey set a fast pace for his first day a tempo unlikely to be slowed during the ensuing throe weeks of campaigning which will take him the length and breadth ot Orrgnn, and with side Jaunts Into Washington. On the outcome he wns sinking his political pres tige ngalnst Stassen. Today was a l--hour day for Dewey. Starting al 10 a.m. he scheduled meetings with represent atives of the state grange, agricul tural cooperatives, labor, business, republican groups, lunch with Ore gon publishers and editors, and tea with the Oregon state central committee. Tonight. Just one week after Stassen spoke here, Dewey Is to address a public rally on "How to Stop Communism." Reply Slated He was expected to deliver a full-dress reply In biting terms to the Mlnnesotan's proposal to outlaw the communist party. Talk ing to young businessmen here Saturday night, Dewey noted with some asperity that understanding ot the communist Issue goes "to the very root of the qualifications of men to hold high office." Although he did not mention Stassen by name. Dewey left no doubt to whom he referred. Meanwhile, as Dewey took up the gauge against Stassen. the re publican family row put mnny state, party leaders on the spot. Many Absent National Committeeman Ralph Cake, reputedly friendly toward Stassen, departed for the East on business. Senator Wayne L. Morse proclaimed his "complete neutral ity" In a public statement, but added he favored Senator Van- denberg ot Michigan is either Dewey or Stassen "cannot make the grde." And Gov. John Hall will be absent on a speaking en gagement when Dewey appears at Salem. He will be greeted Instead by State Treasurer L. M. Scott. Dewey begun his arduous week rested and refreshed from a motor trip Sunday afternoon up the Co lumbia river to Bonneville dnm. Both during the trip, and his earlier attendance at church, he was besieged by autograph hunters. The trip lo Bonneville waa made In a misting rain through the magnificent Columbia River gorge. En route, like other tourists, Dewey stopped to view the breath-taking drop of Multnomah falls, 642 feet high. Watched Fish Dewey was escorted through the dam and power house by U. S. army engineers, and gawked along side other visitors at Columbia river salmon fighting their way up the fish ladders by-passing the dam. "It waa a thrilling experience to go back." the New York governor said afterwards. "The first time I was there wa in 1940. They had only two gen erating units going and it was great unfinished project. Today it's one of the great installations of the world. "It Justifies In every respect my confidence in the future power resources of the country." Dewey aald the Bonneville power project was "actually showing a profit on the figure allocated to power." "1 (eel very strongly," he added, "that the power shortage of the Northwest can be overcome by thi Investment of government monlei and It Is an Investment and by completing Installations at Grand Coulee, ' completing McNary dam and proceeding with development on the Snake river, Hungry Horse and others." Autograph hunters and amateui photographers found the New York governor a willing subject on tin trip. At Bonneville, a small group of visitors and employes clapped when he left the power house.
