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.

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.
