On the other aide of the lence,

clearly LIKE KEFAUVER. They
have been giving potiiuve prooi oi
that at every opportunity. First he
tromped on Truman In every pri

a choice between the two men.
In both Wisconsin and Nebrnnka,
Kefnuver swamped his opposition.
In Nebrnnka, he routed Bcnntor
Kerr, who I supposed to have
had tho Trumnn blessing no fnr

Kerr In concerned. (It la genemlly
believed that Trumnn's rcul choice

The profeaalonnla don't think
much of Kefnuver, but the people
obvloualy have a warm apot In

In their final word on the sub

Communists Wednesday that U. N.
negotiators at anv level will not
accept Soviet Russia as a "neutral

A sub-committee of top ranking

diplomatic nature, but Miller feels
he was "regularly checked on" by
the Hungarian government and
pressure was brought to bear on
Hungarians that dealt with the
Americans,

Strike Wave
Sweeps U.S;
Industries
By The Associated Pre
Strikes and threats of strikes
complicated the nation's production
picture Wednesday.
A nationwide steel strike next
week appeared Inevitable, unless 1
the government selz.es the steel in-
uuslry or obtains a court Injunction
forbidding the walkout.
In communications, the nation's
telegraph and telephone systems
were notified to .expect a scries
of strikes starting at midnight
Wednesday night.
In steel, the big trouble was the 1 i
government reluctance to promise
the Industry price Increases which
producers say are necessary to off
set a govcrnmenwecommenued
wage boost.
The CIO United 8tcclworkers
have set April for a walkout un
less an agreement on wage hikes is
reached.
The Wage Stabilization Board's
public and labor members recom
mended a 17 ',2 cent hourly pay
boost for the steelworkers over
industry members' objections.
The steel Industry says It will
need to get S L2 more a ton for
sleel to pay for the' wage Increase
plus some other benefits okayed by
the WSB. '
Price Director Ellis Arnall has
Indicated he will hold fast against
giving the steel Industry any spec
ial price consideration.
His assistants have said a $4 a
ton Increase this year and $6 next
vear would compensate the indus
try. Arnall told newsmen he was
"very, very fearful we are going
to have a steel strike . . . unless
someone gives. I have no reason to
feel optimistic."
Meanwhile, some 30.000 Western
Union employes, members of the
AFL Commercial Telegraphers un
ion, were set to walk off their Jobs
across the country at midnight in
support of demands for a 16-cent
hourly wage increase and a cut in
Uie work week from 48 to 40 hours
with no pay reduction.
And the CIO Communications
Workers of America called a strike
o( more than 40,000 telephone com
pany workers in Ohio, Mlchlgnn
and Northern California for Thurs
day. In addition, 16,000 Western Elec
tric Co. employes in 43 states called
a strike for Monday.
Western Electric manufactures
and installs telephone equipment
and Its employes are represented
by the Communications Workers.
Tlie CWA has not stated its exact
contract demands, but has said
they include "substantial" wage In
creases. In other labor disputes, Akron,
O., was plagued by two strikes
in tire manufacturing and trans
portation. One-fourth of the city's rubber
workers remained idle because of
strikes over various Issues not In
volving wages.

Taft Scores In
Double Primary
Nebraska:
By DON WHITEHEAD
OMAHA I Sen. Taft of Ohio
drove to a hard-fought victory
Wednesday over Gen. Elsenhower
on the basis of mounting returns
from Nebraska's gruelling GOP
presidential primary.
With three-fourths of the state's
2.0S8 precincts counted, the trend
clearly indicated that only a polit
ical bombshell could reverse the
slow but steady How of votes to
ward Taft.
Elsenhower had virtually ex
hausted the strength from his
strongholds in Lancaster (Lincoln)
county and Scottsbluff
Taft still had reserves in Douf'as
(Omaha; county, which was giv
ing him his edge.
With 1.512 precincts counted,
Tail's lead of 12,500 votes over
Eisenhower was roughly the plur
ality given him in Omaha.
In the Democratic presidential
contest. Sen. Kefauver of Tennes
see scored an Impressive victory
over Ben. K.err of Ukianoma.
Kerr conceded his defeat earlv
Wednesday, thanked the voters of
neorasica tor courtesies, and then
said his defeat would not halt him
in his fight for the Democratic
presidential nomination.
But the defeat was a halt be
cause it came in his first entrv
'into a primary contest.
On the other hand. Taft was sain
ing revenge for defeats handed
him by Eisenhower in New Hamp-
snire and Minnesota and he was
regaining some of the political
prestige he lost in those, encount
ers. Harold Stassen ran third behind
Taft and Eisenhower although four
years ago in uie NeDraska presi
dential primary he was an easy
four-to-one victor over Taft.
The curious development was
that Stassen's name was on the
ballot but he was defeated by two
candidates whose names the voters
were forced, to write in as then
choices. The latest rundown, based
1,512 of 2,058 precincts:

Eisenhower 41,225.
Stassen 35,997.

Gen. MacArthur) 6.615.

Democrats (1,438 precincts)
Kefauver 44,690.

Taft appeared to be winning at
east is 01 neorasKa s us uor na
tional convention delegates, based
on incomplete returns.
On the Democratic side, the pic
ture was not as clear-cut on dele
gates. Kefauver and Kerr both appeared
to have the support of five dele
gates among the 12 out in front.
The reason Taft appeared to have
such delegate strength was this:

was holding 40.6 per cent of all
the Republican votes cast. '
But Taft's 24-6 victory in del.
gates was possibly more Important
suite Wisconsin ablegates to the
nominating convention pledged to
support the winner of the primary.
Gov. Warren got the other six, leav
ing Stassen 1948 winner in Wis
consin completely shut out.
On the Democratic side Sen.
Estes Kefauver swamped his-rivals
as expected.
LO8E WEIGHT
The two opposition slates lost
much of their drive when Pv.oi.
dent Truman whom they claimed
to represent, announced last Satur
day that be will not be a candidate
again.
itelauver's latest count was 205
837. It represented 85J per cent of
the Democratic total. The Tennes.
seean took all 28 Democratic con
vention aeiegate votes in the elec
tion. Tabulations for 31R2 nrln-t
out of 3204 in statewide races to
elect 10 Republican delegates-at-large
and an eight-vote Democratic
slate showed:
Republicans Taft 313,399 (40.8)
Warren 260.215 ( 33.7) Stassen 188,
919 212. Ritter for MacArthur
26.316 (3.4), Stearns (unlnstructed)

Democrats Kefauver 205,837
(85.3) Fox (uinstructed) 18.354
(7.6), Broughton (Truman draft
advocate) 17,191 (7.1).
Taft answered a reporter's tele
phone call to his Washington home
but said he had no comment yet
on his victory.
Warren said: "Without belittllng
the vote which Sen. Taft received, I
am deeply grateful for the confi
dence the voters of Wisconsin have
expressed in me, particularly in
view of the fact Ibat I had very
little opportunity to- become ac
quainted with them. We made, a
very modest campaign, both In
time spent and money expended,"
SET PATTERN V
Kefauver commented: "I believe
this expression of faith In the prin
ciples for which I stand will set
the pattern for the nation. . . We
must all put our shoulders to the
wheel and work together so we will
elect a Democrat to carry on the
principles of the Democratic party
and to continue the progress of the
last 20 years." -
Stassen asserted: "Senator Taft
received a setback because he fail
ed to obtain more than one-half
of the total popular vote."
In Taft's Milwaukee headquart
ers, excitement started at an early
hour Tuesday night, and overflowed
as he built up his lead. He was out
in front from the start.
Stassen held second place until
nearly midnight and then Warren
passed him when returns began
