Taft and Eisenhower
Chances Rated Even
In Iowa and Michigan
By the Associated Press

Supporters of Senator Taft of
Ohio and Gen. Eisenhower ma
neuvered busily today for delegates
in two important Midwest Repub-
lican State conventionS-Iowa and
Michigan.
The odds appeared about evenly
divided for both presidential as
pirants in each State. Backers of
other candidates were not so
active.
Michigan's G. o. P. convention
doesn't open until tomorrow in
Detroit but the backstage was
abuzz with cautious horsetrading.
Iowa Republicans meet in Des
MoineS today to select rs delegates
to the Chicago National Conven-
ton. Informal caucuses by coun-
ties and congressional districts left
the outlook muddled.
But it appeared from prelim-
mary commitments that Senator
Taft and Gen. Eisenhower were
running neck and neck, hackers
of each claiming four OF the eight
districts. Each district picks two
delegates and 10 will be chosen
at large.
Farm Plank Proposed.
The 5000 Republicans also will
be asked to support proposed Re
publican national farm plank.
In Michigan Republicans ap-
peared agreed to compromise on
dividing the States 46-vote dele
cation rather than risk a show
down fight.
The convention will choose 10
delegates-at-large and districts
will select the other SO in pre-
convention sessions.
Leaders Of both the Taft and
Eisenhower forces issued state
ments claiming an edge, but each
said they would oppose a resolu-
ton favoring convention indorSe-
ment of any candidate. They said
there was general agreement that
Michigan would have an unin-
Structed delegation.
Gen. Eisenhower picked up three
more national convention dele
gates in Kansas yesterday. This
resulted when Taft hackers at a
First District G. o. P. convention
offered no delegate candidates of
their own.
The generals hackers pushed
their campaign in Illinois for a
write-in victory over Senator Taft
in next Tuesdays preference pri-
mary. The Ohio Senator is on
the ballot.
Technical Hurdle.
But Gen. Eisenhower faced a
technical hurdle. Election off,
Gals said his name didn't have
to be spelled correctly but voters
would have to draw in a square
beside the written-in name and
write in an K.
Besides Senator Taft, the names
of Harold E. StaSsen and Riley
A. Bender, a Chicago hotelman,
are on the ballot. Senator Ke-
fauver of Tennessee is alone on
the Democratic side.
Senator Taft told Illinois news
men yesterday he would win next
Tuesday by much larger mar
gin" than in Wisconsin. Mr..
Stassen asked for the vote of all
who do not approve" of Senator
Taft.
Supporters of Illinois Gov. Ad-
lai Stevenson drummed up a pres
idential write-in campaign. He
is on the ballot for another term
as Governor.
Supporters of CALIFORNIA; Gov
Earl Warren's campaign for Pres
ldent scheduled filing of petitions
today to place his name on the
Republican ballot at the Califor-
mia preferential primary June 3.

nounced more than 10000 sigma

Truman Defends Plan For National Health Insurance
By Ernest B. Vaccaro

PHILADELPHIA, {P) = Presi- dent Truman Tuesday described opponents of national health in- surance-Gen. Dwight D. Eisen- hover is among them as pull backs" who want to Ego back to the horse and buggy days"
 The President declared "It is job for all of us" to bring medi- cal and health services to the peo- pie at price they can afford to pay.
 "I would not call such a goal socialism," Truman said "I would call it a goal of enterprise enterprise"
 Truman didn't mention the Re publican presidential nominee by name in a speech prepared for a luncheon of the American Hos pital Assn. in Convention Hall.
 But he quoted language used by Eisenhower in New York Sunday opposing Truman's medical insur- ance plan. Eisenhower advocated, among other steps, locally ad- ministered indigent [needyl med ical care programs" >.
 That's about like saying we don't need any form of social security except the county poor house," Truman said.
 Truman's opponents have de- nounced Truman's past proposals to Congress as specialized medi- cine" and compulsory medical in surance," definitions with which he differs.

2 FREIGHTERS CRASH NEAR SEATTLE

SEATTLE, (P)-Two sea- going freighters collided in dense fog in the Strait of Juan de Fuca early Tuesday.
 One seaman of the Japanese ship Taikyu Maru was reported killed, the US. Coast Guard said.
 Brief messages from the two ships, intercepted by the Gordon Head wireless station at Victoria, B.C., said neither ship was be- lieved seriously damaged, and both were proceeding.
 The other ship was the 7,176- ton Greek ship George D. Grat- sos, bound for the Columbia R.
 The Victoria wireless station said the Greek vessel first sent out a call for assistance, but later cancelled the call after a check on it's damage.
 A thick fog covered the area and the pilot of a Coast Guard plane which flew over the scene two hours after the crash radiOed he was unable to spot the vessels except on his radar screen.

Start of Work On Cordova-Copper R. Hwy. Celebrated

CORONA, P)-Alaskan from all over the territory gathered here Saturday to help Cordovans celebrate the long-awaited start of construction of the Cordova- Copper River Highway which will link this seaport city with the continental road system.
 A celebration originally planned at Mile 14 on the highway was held in the ElkS Hall when rain forced a change in plans.
 The master of ceremonies, Dr. Will H. Chase, perennial mayor, a pioneer of '97 and author of numerous books of his Alaska ex- periences, recalled how he had watched the territory grow in his 55 years residence. He asserted his unwavering faith in the terri tory's great future.
 Those present included Gov ernor Gruening, representatives of the Army, Navy and Air Force, Territorial High way Engineer Frank Metcalf, Director of Avia- ton Tony SchWamm, MT. Ghig- liOne of the Alaska Road CommiS- son, and MT. French of the Bu- reau of Public Roads. Schwamm announced a gravel extension would be added to the Mile 13 airport this fall.
 Governor Gruening, principal speaker, recalled the progress made by the earliest Alaska set tiers until the present time and said that roads had been a great deciding factor in Alaskan devel- Opment. He said that now was an era of great road-building activity over the territory.
 "We have S65O,OOO for this road," he said. Tt represents a great deal of work on everyone's part and we must not let up in our efforts for an early completion of this vital road link in the ter ritory." '

Controller General Lindsay War
rem ruled today that the Govern

ers are entitled to share in the
December 26 holiday along with
other Federal employees.
Since per diem (blue collar)
workers are paid by the day rather
than on a yearly basis as is the

there was a question raised wheth-
Ter President Truman's executive
order could include them.
The controller General decided
that per diem workers could be
given the day off with full pay.
