Taft Will Go All Out
In Ohio 10 Check
Stassen Victory Streak
by the Assoeio.sd Press

Senator Taft; Republican, Of Ohio
laid plans today for an all-out effort
to choke of Harold E. Stassen's s
delegate winning streak when the
two tangle in Ohio's May 4 Repub-
lican presidential primary.
The Ohio Senator told a reporter
he frankly is both puzzled and dis
appointed by his poor-third showing
in Tuesdays Nebraska ballot battle.
But I'm quite confident that
things Will be differeit in Ohio" he
added.
There Mr.. Stassen is bidding for

delphia nominating convention.
Taft viii Campaign.
The former Minnesota governor
headed into Senator Taft's terri
tory today after promising at Min
neapolis to carry on the work OF
developing a vigorous, forward
looking and humanitarian Republi-
can party"
Senator Taft plans to leave
Washington tonight for a week end
of campaigning in Ohio, where Mrs
Taft already is busily engaged In q
vote-seeking tour.
Gov. Dewey of New York. who ran
second to Mr.. Stassen in the Ne
braska popularity test, meets the
former Minnesota Governor again IN
the May 81, Oregon primary.
The Nebraska count, with only Al
of the States 2,024 precincts miss
ing. gave:
Mr.. Stassen, 1850; Gov. Dewey,
81, ,444; Senator Taft, 2o,680; Senator
Vandenberg of Michigan, 1858; Gen.
Macarthur, 6,679; Gov. Warren OF
California, 1,772, and House Speaker
Martin, 1856.
: Results Not Officially Binding.
The returns gave Mr.. Stassen 13
Of the States Is votes on the first
nominating ballot at Philadelphia.
But Taft hackers still hope to pick
up some Nebraska support in later
balloting. The results Of the pref
erential vote are not officially bind
ing on the delegates.
The Taft camp actually had ex-
pected Mr.. Stassen to lead in Ne
braska, but hoped the Ohioan would
run a close second.

they insist that humping setback
for Mr.. Stassen in Ohio would more
than offset the Nebraska result.
Senator Mccarthy, Republican, Of
Wisconsin, a Stassen backer, said
that if the Minnesotan can turn
back Senator Taft in from five to
seven of the % delegate races ut
will be a major victory"
While politicians generally re-
