NEWARK. 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

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

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

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.

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

Witnesses said Anderson stood
at the side of the track, apparently
dazed as the train approached.
Anderson and his son-in-law,

Just prior to the accident several
persons saw the man standing on
the bank near the highway.

engineer of the tram, said he did
not see Anderson untU too late to
stop. The tram came to a stop
33 car lengths beyond the point of

Army Engineers estimated a to-T

similarly deserted.
GHOST AREAS v Z
These were ghost areas. natrolleH '
only by soldiers, police and civil
guards. Not even the persons who"
live there were permitted to enter .
much of the area. ' .
Experienced relief workers called
the exodus one of the biggest di-'
