And Conservative Parties
BY Gould Lincoln
Stor Stoff Coryesporden+

MILWAUKEE, Wis. June H.
The Democrats of Wisconsin are
as anxious to see Senator La Fol-
lette "eliminated" in the coming
senatorial primary as are the
regular Republican of the Tom
Coleman brand.
The Democratic leaders say frank
ly that they are seeking to make
their party the liberal, progressive
party of the State. They want a
clearcut division between a liberal
Democratic party and a conservative
Republican party. Under such con-
ditions they believe they would have
an excellent chance of winning con-
troll of the State and electing their
candidates to the Senate and House
in Washington.
They make the point that if Sen
ator La Toilette wins the Republican
senatorial nomination and carries
the Progressives back into the Re-
publican party, the political situa-
ton will be as mixed as it could
possibly be-with large part of the

Senator Hugh A. Butler won

In another primary contest sena-
tor Charles c. Gossett, Democrat

Mr.. Stassen has a chance to re-
gain in Minnesotas July 8 sena-
torial primary whatever prestige
he lost in Nebraska yesterday. But
its rather clear now that he can
not count on Nebraska's Is votes

vention.
He is supporting Gov. Edward
j. Thye against Senator Hendrix
Shipstead in the Minnesota contest.
How much Senator B-1er's VIC
tory was due to the in rational
issue and how. much to the fact
that Mr.. Stassen was an outsider
intervening in the primary cannot
be measured.
However, Senator Brooks, Repub-
lican of Illinois, himself a conserva-
tive in international dealings, said:
This is another evidence that the
States do not want outside inter-
ference in the election of their rep

Gen. Eisenhower, Army Chief Of

come permanent American terri
tory"
Disposition OF the Pacific island
remains to be determined "presum-
ably in accordance with the Pots
dam Declaration" the general said
in a letter to Representative Buffet,
Republican, of Nebraska.
Mr.. Buffet had asked Gen. Eisen-
hover to answer series of ques-
tions regarding the generals address
to members of Congress January
Is in the Library Of Congress.
Mr.. Buffet quoted Gen. Eisen-
hover as stating at that time: ION
Okinawa a garrison of approx
mately $4,000 air and service forces
will be permanently stationed" The
Representative then asked,
docs this statement mean that
Okinawa has become permanent
American territory and, If so, would
be interested in knowing when, how,
and by whom the decision was
made"

ment to Congress referred to the

period in Japan, the extent of
which it is not possible to determine
at the present time"
Mr.. Buffet also stated that the
general indicated garrison of about
$4,000 American soldiers will be
kept in the Philippines after July
l and asked "how this large army OF
occupation squares with the promise
of independence for the Philippines

Presidents message?"
In reply, Gen. Eisenhower
asserted:
1.-THE $4,000 American soldiers
- are for the purpose Of carrying
out the responsibilities we now have
and which will continue to exist as
of July /, 1916.
Requirements Will Change.
at can be expected that response
bilities and corresponding require
ments will continue to change as
the situation in the Western Pacific
becomes more stabilized.
"This force has a mission which
includes - support of the occupa-
ton forces in Japan"
The general said the permanent
military structure Of the United
States throughout the Pacific, after
the occupation Of Japan, remains
to be determined"
Gen. Eisenhower said that the
rs, 900 troops on July will include

force reserve available for deploy-
ment in the event that reinforce
ments are needed to quell an up
