Ike Given Edge Over Taft
On Eve of N. H. Primary
Gen.. Dwight D. Eisenhower was credited with a narrow edge
over Sen. Robert A. Taft. last (Monday) night on the eve of New
Hampshire's first-in-the-nation presidential. primary election today.
Coincident with the Repuplican balloting, NeW Hampshire voters
will choose between T'reSidentTrUrnan and Sen. Estes Kefauver of
Tennessee - in the Democratic pri
mary.
Reptiblican Clakh Important
Truman cainpaignmanagers
predicted the; President will
"smother" Kefauver, The Tennes
seean retorted that was "really
eyewash."
Less interest centered on the
Truman-Kefauver -Tace - than the
Taft-Eisenhower clash. However,
an unexpectedly strong showing
by Kefauver would undoubtedly
boost the Senator's stoc k - \ and
might influence Truman's decis
ion on whether to seek re-election
in NoVember.
The Republican 'race, on the
other hand, was regarded' aS g
possibly decisive showdown be
tween Taft, and Eisenhower as
vote pullers. Former Gov. Harold
E. Stassen of Minnesota, was -re
garded as , a third-running "dark
horse" entry.
Restilts to be Slow
Candidates' favorable to. Gen.
Douglas MacArthur are, also: en
tered in a separate contest for
delegates to the GOP nominating
convention in July, but - Mac-
Arthur is not listed in ,the so
called "popularity" test.
Results of the New Hampshfie"
election may be slow in compil
ing because of the complicated
nature of the ballots.

vacation over the Weekend to
visit his family in Washington
and fly to New York City for a

Force chief of staff, paid an un
heralded flying visit to confer
with the President at the winter
White House here yesterday.
Coupled with today's announce
ment, the White House released
a letter written by Truman cau
tioning the country's farmers they
might lose gains -of the last 20
years "if the next administration
were to follow the wrong agri
cultural policies."
Truman asserted that the farm
ers' benefits are threatened by
"the voices of reaction." He ac
cused opponents of his policies of
trying to "cut down on-price sup
ports."
