DeweY's Nomination
Without a Deadlock
Forecast by BrowneII
BY the Asseeiotsd Press

NEW YORK. April 5.-Gov.
Deweys campaign manager says the
New Workers. nomination for presi-
dent is assured. He predicts there
will be no deadlock at the Repub-
lican National Convention.
Herbert Brownell, jr., Gov Deweys
manager, said yesterday at a news
conference that by tomorrow night
305 of the 1904 convention delegates
will have been named, and the Gov
ernor will have the support of more
than half Of the 305.
Mr.. Brownell, former Republican
national chairman, said he made
the prediction regardless of the re-
suit OF tomorrow's Wisconsin pri-
mary. New York State also is hold
ing a primary tomorrow.
Enough returns are in to make it
clear there will be no deadlock, u
Mr.. Brownell said. He AIDED that
the Dewey strength among the 305
Is q good indication" of how the
remaining delegates will divide in
support of the presidential aspirants.
Won't Predict Which Ballot.
A candidate needs only simple
nomination.
Refusing to estimate how many
votes Gov. Dewey viii get on the
first ballot, Brownell would say only
that the Governor will win on one
Of the ballots"
New York Republicans tomorrow
will name by districts 80 of the
States delegation of 81 to the June
21 convention in Philadelphia, and
Wisconsin voters will choose q
Republican delegates. The seven re-
manning New York Republican dele
gates will be chosen on State
wide "at-large" basis April 81 in
Albany, when the new Republican
State Committee meets to organize.
Under New York law its delegates
are uninstructed.
Although Michigan's delegation of
Al and Wisconsin's. n are included
in the 305 figure, Mr.. Brownell said
he had not counted either in his
forecast of Dewey strength.
Browneli's Claims in IA States.
The Michigan delegation is ex-
pected to support Senator Vanden-
berg as a favorite son.
Mr. Brownell made these claims
for Gov. Dewey among the IA States
which already have named all or
part of their Republican delegates:
At least majority of Names l3,
and majorities in New Hamshire,
Kansas, North Carolina and Iowa.
He also predicted that Republican
conventions to be. held shortly in
South Carolina. Virginia and Arkan-
sas will give Gdv. Dewey sub
stantial additional support.
Mr.. Brownell said the non-Dewey
votes among the 305 would be di-
vided largely between Harold E.
Stassen and Senator Taft of Ohio.

of its facilities from the Govern

the State Department for its own

One of the foundation programs
is news broadcast daily from

The foundation is assisted with
educational program material and
translators by Harvard, Yale, Brown,

TWO PLEAD GUILTY
TO ARMED ROBBERY

Pleading to charges of armed
robbery, two Redwood men were
placed under bonds of $500 each
by Justice William H. Snodgrass,
Wednesday afternoon. The men
are:
Paul DeBolt, 2l, and Edgar
(Buck) Carr, 40.
They are accused of stealing
$3.50 from Gale Hogue, age about
so, York Township farmer, after
beating and stabbing him in
Redwood, late last Thursday.
Neither man was able to furnish
bond, and both were remanded
to the County Jail awaiting the
May Grand Jury.
Mr.. Hogue told Sheriff H. S.
Roosa that the two men had
offered to take him home, last
Thursday, but they attacked and
robbed him, instead. His stab
wound, from which he rapidly
recovering now, was in the throat
and narrowly missed the jugular
vein.
After the two men had left him,
Mr.. Hogue said, he was able to
drive himself as far as York,
where he lost consciousness for
about four hours. After regaining
consciousness, he was able to
continue on home, arriving there
about 4 a. m, he told authorities.

Frank w. Galloway said this
morning following a meeting of
the POOLS Board of Directors to
make plans for the coming sea-

Season tickets are being placed
on sale now, and will be the same
low price as they were last year,
he said-S5 plus 81 federal tax
for single season tickets, and S12
plus S240 federal tax for family
season tickets.
The tickets will be sold for
cash only this year, no time pay
ments being accepted. This is be-
ing done to eliminate so much
bookkeeping, it was explained
But a season ticket to the
swimming pool still remains the
cheapest recreation one can buy"
Mr.. Galloway declared With the
pool open 100 days, the total cost
figures at only 5 cents per day
for single tickets and II cents for
an entire family"

But Few Days of Sun
Can Change Picture
Quickly. Agent Says

Union County'S farmers are ap-
proXlmately two weeks behind in
their spring work as the result
of inclement weather which has
prevailed almost constantly since
the latter part of March, County
Agent Frank Greeneisen indica-
ted today.
"Thls spring has been as bad,
so far, as it was last year." Mr..
Greeneisen said, "and many
farmers are quite discouraged,
feeling that they are in for anoth-
.er season like l947.
But it is not serious yet" he
added, land a few bright, dry
days can quickly change the en-
tire picture"
Most serious immediate con-
Germ of the farmers is getting
their oats crop into the ground.
Oats should have been planted
two weeks ago, and only very
small amount has actually been
seeded.

farmers % Weeks Behind
In Work as Result of Rains
INCESSANT RAINS SEND COUNTY STREAMS
OUT OF BANKS, BUT DO LITTLE DAMAGE

April showers may bring May
flowers, but it is a cinch they
won't bring and corn or oats if
they don't slow down enough to
let the farmers work and let the
sun shine little.
The only things which are real
ly thriving in the rain are the
lawns, which everyone was just
about ready to NOV before the
rains came, and the *!?!!*? -
weeds, which seem to thrive on
most anything the weatherman
sends along.
According to the reports of
Russell S. Banks, local weather
observer for the u. S. Weather
Bureau, all recent orders for sun
shine have been filled with a to-
tai of 3.64 inches of rain the past
week, until today.
Thus far in April, there have
been 4.82 inches of rain, compar-
ed to IL inches the first Is days
of April last year. Total rainfall
for April 1947 was ASS inches.
Storm Sewers Meet Tests
The heavy rains provided the
first real test for the new Maple
st. storm sewer and, even though
few minor connections remain
to be made, it performed up to
expectations.
"The sewer did everything we
had expected of it in diverting
surface water off the area west
of Maple st. from the Town Run" !"
Mayor Kingsmore said today.
Residents whose easements
used to be flooded from storm
sewers backing up had dry base
ments for the first time, the Ma
yor added. Such spots as the
Milford rd. railroad underpass or
the intersection of S. Court and
w. Seventh SITS. remained dry.
One problem which has always
accompanied heavy rains here
has been sanitary sewers backing
up into some Easements and caus-
ing water to bubble up out of
manholes.
Sanitary Lines Overloaded
This is caused, Mayor Kings
more said, because many homes
have the downspouts from their
roofs connected to the sanitary
sewers instead of draining their
water into the streets where it
can run off with other surface

in connection with the sewer job,

concrete would be less satisfac-
