Taft, Eisenhower Deal
Reported in Oklahoma
Br The Associated Press
The political spotlight focussed
on Oklahoma Monday where Taft
and Eisenhower forces meet In
the nation's lirst Republican state
convenUon.
But some of the edge was taken
off the outcome by a reported last
minute compromise made in an
effort to avoid a showdown test of
strength.
Jack Bell, Associated Press polit-
. ical writer, said backers of Sen.
Taft of Ohio and Gen. Elsenhower
rot together in Oklahoma City ho-
' lei room conferences Sunday and
tentatively decided on a slate of
four at-large delegates including
two for Taft. one for Eisenhower
and one uncommitted. . . .
BREAKDOWN
Bell said the best estimate of
political observers on the 12 dis
trict delegates already chosen is
that four are for Taft, four Eisen
hower, one favorable to Taft, two
lean to the General, and one com
mitted to Cen. MacArthur but
likely to go to Taft.
If Taft gets two delegates Mon
day, he would have a slight ad
vantage, and. If the MacArthur
support goes his way, a majority,
involved is small, the advantage
is viewed more from the psycho
logical standpoint.

China's Parley
Rights Argued
By WILLIAM JORDEN
MTJNSAN, Korea tfl The chief
United Nations truce negotiator
- Monday questioned Red China's
right to take part in a Korea peace
conference and suggested that the
problem of which nations should
negotiate the peace be solved after
an armistice is signed.
Rear Adm. C. Turner Joy also
told the Reds, in effect, to give up
any ideas of deciding the fate of
' Formosa or settling other Asian
proDiems at a Korean Peace con
ference. "If it is your view that the com.
manders must make inappropriate
recommenuauons, then the U.N.
uommana delegation wiu be op
posed to any recommendations be
ing made." he said.
BOTH SIDES
The Allies previously have made
it clear that unless both sides agree
On recommendations none can be
made. Negotiators have agreed to
discuss withdrawal of foreign
troops from Korea and peaceful
' settlement of the Korean question.
' Joy's statement came during a
one hour and 35 minute session of
the full armistice delegations on
agenda item five recommenda
tions to governments involved.
He declared that by the Com
munists' own standards Red China
is not eligible to take part in a
post-armistice peace conference.
VOLUNTEERS
Joy ' pointed out ' that Chinese
troops fighting in Korea always
have been labeled volunteers, both
by Red China and North Korea, He
. said the Communists have argued
that the appearance of volunteer
units in Korea was "completely
unrelated to any official action on
the part of their political authori
ties." "Clearly," Joy said, "the Peo
ple's Republic of China would not
qualify under your criterion."
that takes him on to Seattle and
Portland, said he will not enter
Minnesota and California prima
ries.
He said it wouldn't be a fair
test because he would be bucking
"lavorite sons" in both states
Harold E. Stassen in Minnesota
and Gov. Warren in California.
FORCE
But the possibility arose that he
may be forced into the Minnesota
race, in wnicn stassen. Eisen
hower, and Oen. MacArthur al
ready are entered on the GOP tick
et. MacArthur may withdraw.
A rural editors' committee an
nounced at Piers, Minn., that all
Presidential candidates - including
Taft, President Truman. Warren
and Sen. Keiauver who have not
filed will be entered in the March
IS primary by a petition now being
circulated.-
If they want to withdraw, they
must sign an affidavit saying they
are not candidates, and will not
accept a nomination if it is offered.
Sen. Long, D-La.. said in an
interview in St. Louis that he be
lieved Elsenhower could carry the
south on either ticket if nominated.
But he said chances of nomination
do not seem "too' good."
Gov. Warren said in New York
he will announce soon in which
states he will enter Presidential
primaries and added he was giv
ing some- thought to those in Wis
consin and Oregon. He speaks in
Boston Monday night.
Aruiur a. vanoenoerg Jr., said
in Detroit he would run for the
GOP senatorial nomination to suc
ceed his late father if it would
help promote the Eisenhower cam
paign in Michigan.
Sen. Kefauver of Tennessee
plunged headlong into his New
Hampshire campaign in the na
tion s iirsc presidential primary.
In a Nashua, N. H speech he
spoke out against moral decay and
corruption in government, and took
a slap at president Truman, also
entered in the primary but not an
announced Presidential candidate.
Kefauver, only Democratic can
didate yet to announce, said he
firmly believed in primaries as the
democratic way to select officials.
He said they were not "eyewash",
as Truman classified' them re
cently. - ,

Property Tax
Loss Reported
SALEM lift State Tax Com'
missioner Robert D. Maclean esti
mated Monday that 100 million dol
lars worth of merchandise is escap
ing personal property taxation be
cause toe owners aren t reporting
it.
Maclean said the personal pro
perty taxation system, has broken
down because of this fact, which
throws additional burden on real
property owners.
An "honor" system Is used for
personal property taxation, with
each businessman trusted to re
port his inventory at the end of
each year.
"In a sample check of eight
counties." Mclean said, "we found
taxpayers reporting as little as 4
per cent of their merchandise."
The Tax Commission is urging
each county assessor to check per
sonal property tax returns.
Personal property taxes, like
those on real property, are paid
to county assessors.
If the full amount of the personal
property tax were collected. It
would reduce real property taxes
by that amount.

rible rumbling noise."
That sound, she snld. "was as
terrifying as anything I've ever
heard."
Then, Miss Taylor aald, "we

Bonds Serve
Two Wives
WASHINGTON Ii Congress
heard Monday about a bigamist
who had had to cash his defense
bonds every 60 days "to save my
life."
The story turned up with the re
lease of hearings by the House Ap
propriation Committee on the
budget of the Treasury Depart
ment's Savings Bond Division.
Robert W. Coyne, unpaid busi
nessman consultant to the divi
sion, said he ran Into Uie case
while conducting a check In an unl
dentlfied Eastern city into why
people were cashing their bonds
He said one man, after exacting
a promise that his namo would
never be disclosed, told investiga
tors:
"The fact is, gentlemen, I am
married to two women. I buys
me oonas ana l gives tnem to my
first wife and after 60 davs I sneak
them away and cashes them and
gives tne money to my second wife.
So you see the box I am in. That
is why I cashes bonds."
Coyne said he hadn't followed
through on the man's subsequent
unanciai juggiings. He added,
however:
"It Is my impression that it may
have saved his life, but not for
long.

Haag was wounded in the chest
while attacking a Communist-held

his breast pocket turned much of
the shrapnel from his heart and
kept his severe wounds from being

But nurses reported the youth
seemed morose, woman t take mea

As a last resort a tupe record

to his bedside. As he listened
through earphones, a smile spread
over his face. Worried nurses told
him later that they knew then the
biggest part of their battle was
over.
