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.

I yw C t 'ul j 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: Republicans Taft 53.705, Eisenhower 41,225. Stassen 35,997. Mrs. Mary Kenny (Stand-in Gen. MacArthur) 6.615. on for Democrats (1,438 precincts) Kefauver 44,690. Kerr 29,439. 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: J" SSSXS. inA.nt have said they will abide by the result of the popularity contest or they have announced previously they were for Taft, Percentage-wise Taft was in (Continued on Page 4.)

Taft put new power Into hla drive for the Reoublican nrelrtn. tlal nomination Wednesday, win ning the vital Wisconsin primary and taking 24 of the state's 30 dele gates. The total vote, exceeding 1,000, 000. broke all primary records. With 222 precincts still urn norll Talt waa leading Gov. Earl War. f California bv BS nnn Harold E. Stassen, former goverl nor of Minnesota, was distant third. Warren and Stassen, ' together, racked UD a bliraer total than t. The senator, at the latest 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) 3,009 (.4). 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 to come in from the more southerly (Continued on Page 4.1
