N.J. ii New Jer. ey, a state which takes politics seriously rvrry day of every year, Monday headed into Ha most hec ticand confused primary election In decades. Topmost attraction Is a Taft-Eiacnhower-Staaaen battle in the state's first presidential preference ballot since 1040. Along with this Is a mixed up race for delegates lo ihe Republican National con ventlon. Some 760.000 to 1. 000,000 voter! tomorrow will ballot In the presi dential preference noil, select dele tstfH to the major party national conventions, name u. s. Senate candidates and choose congress ional nominees. QUIET The Democratic side of the pic ture is relatively quiet. Benntor Kelauver Is the only candidate In the presidential popularity poll. There are but three contests for 36 delegate posts. One of these Is local affair. In the others. Inde pendent Kefauver supporters op pose the organisation which Is bi ding Its time before determining lis favorite. The delegation will have 33 votes In Uie national con vention. In Republican ranks, the storv Is different Oeneral Elsenhower. 8 e n a t o r Tafl and Harold E. Stassen are entered In the presidential poll which is not binding. Stassen Is not considered a serious contender. Tafl avowedly Is not a candidate. TOO LATE Taft tried to withdraw from the race after Gov. Alfred E.-Drlscoll came out for Elsenhower but the Ohio Senator made his decision too late to remove his nome from the ballot. Taft closed his headausrters. cancelled a speaking tour and said as far as he was concerned he was out of the New Jersey contest. He said Drlscoll's endorsement of El senhower made a fair primary Im- possioie. The Elsenhower forces countered that Tail's action was a sham. They said no matter what vote he receives, he can claim a "moral victory." Taft followers said this wasn't so. 8ome nredlcled he will get only a fraction of the vote. other sunporters. however, dis agree and look for a slsable turn out. An Associated Press poll of the state's sewspapers forecast Elsenhower will win the election but Tafl will get a good vote. UNDERGROUND Supporters of Elsenhower said the Tuft campaign went under ground after he announced his withdrawal and even stepped up Its activity. Thcv claim Tnit strat egists were spending $350,000 as compared to less than $76,000 the Elsenhower camp was spending. noi so, came duck, the raft forces, addlmr that this was all talk to got out a big vote for Elsen hower, The slate will send 38 dclenatos to the national convention In Chica go July 7, The stalo OOP organ ization has put up a full slate, which Is listed on the ballot as unpledged.

Cents 14 Pair -. mn mnmi West Taxed To Tune Of 9 Per Cent WASHINGTON ' The Inter slate Commerce Commission Mon day gave tile railroads a lurlher Irelghl rate increase, estimated to hike charges by about 678 million dollars a vear. The rbie Is nine per cent In the south and west and tlx per cent In the east. The order boosts rates 16 per cent above what they were at tins lime last year. The railroads applied last year for 15 per cent Increase. The ICC lar-t August ruled that Instead nf a atrniuhl 15 per cent hike, the charges should be raised nine per cent In Ihe east and six per cent in the south and west. Monday's order, Issued alter re consideration, allows the full 15 per cent across the country. This means the rates will now be raised nine ncr cent In the south and west and six per cent In the east. This is the 12th general freight rale increase allowed since the end of World War II. GRAINS The Increases msy be put Into effect upon 15 days nonce :io me public, except for grains and grain products, on which a 30-day rate- revision nonce wui oe rcquircu. The ICC said domestic water car- rlera muv aunlv to their charges the same revisions authorised lor , the ralta.- , ' As In the case of the rata In creases granted last August, the ICC termed the new revisions "sur charges which will automatically expire February 28. 1954. unless continued on a permanent basis through further action by the com mission. The new rate Increases were granted in response to a plea by the railroads their revenues had failed lo keep pace with a con tinuing upswing In wage and ma terial costs. The Office of Price Stabilisation, during the hearings, took the posi tion that any new general increane would bring fresh pressure against the Inflationary spiral.
