Taft L 10 !. Go All OUT ..
For Win No Later
Than Second Ballot
By jock Bell
Associated Press SfuH Writer

Senator Taft will throw the full
weight of his organization behind
an attempt to win the nomina-
ton by not later than the second
ballot at the Chicago convention.
Despite their public talk Of pos
sible first ballot victory. Gen. Eli
|senhower's hackers privately are
saying that if they can keep the
nomination away from Senator
Taft for two ballots, the general
will get it.
Taft Backers Agree.
Privately. the Taft hackers agree
with this analysis and thus are
prepared to shoot the works early.
While he said the strategy in
volved would have to be de-
termined by condition at the con-
vention, Senator Taft told this
reporter he remains confident his
organization is holding the line"
against Gen. Eisenhower's efforts
to break into the Ohioan's dele
gate column.
On the other hand, Senator
Lodge Of Massachusetts,, Gen.
Eisenhower's national campaign
manager. said the general is max
ing inroads by his personal cam
paigning, adding that his nomina-
ton nov is assured"
Senator Taft has a sizeable
lead over Gen. Eisenhower in
publicly committed delegates and
his friends control of much of the
Republican convention machinery.
His belief that he can win on
an early ballot is based on. the
latest survey by his forces. His
friends say this gives him 604
"rock bottom" delegates-just
enough for the nomination.
Taft Strategy Set.
/ If by the time voting starts the
Taft leaders believe they are
Solidly set, they will put every
thing they have into a first ballot
try. If they are doubtful of max
ing the grade. they will see to it
that about so delegates are dis
tributed around among other
candidates who can be brought
into the Taft column on the
second ballot.
That will bring the crucial test
and if the Ohioan doesn't make it
then, he is almost certain to face
a slump which would take him
quickly out of the race.

LANCER and Aandahl
To Clash tuesday in
North Dakota Primary
By the As.ociosed Press


BISMARCK, N. OAK, June 21.-
Two of North Dakota's best vote
|getters clash head-on in the
States primary election Tuesday,
climaxing one of the most spirited
campaigns in years.
Senator William LANCER, one of
the States most colorful and con-
troversial political figures for
more than 80 years, is being
challenged for the Republican
senatorial nomination by Repre-
sentative Fred G. Aandahl.
MIR. Aandahl, now serving his
first term in Congress. is a three
time former governor who has
never been beaten in a statewide
election.
Senator LANCER is seeking re-
nomination for a third Senate
term. He previously served two
terms as governor and two as
attorney general.
G. O. p. Factions to Clash.
Voters will nominate full states
for national and state offices on
the Republican and Democratic
ballots. The presidency does not
enter into the election.
The main contest is between the
two Republican factions - the
Nonpartisan League and the Re-
publican Organizing Committee.
Democrats seldom have any
chance against the Republican
primary winners in the fall general
election, though some believe the
Democratic voters will have a lot
to say in the Republican primary.
Some observers are predicting
many Democrats will vote Repub-
lican to help decide the Aandahl-
LANCER contest.
Senator LANCER heads the lea
que, which regards itself as the
more liberal wing of the Republican
Party IN the State. Mr.. Aandahl
belongs to the Republican Or
ganizing Committee. generally re-
garded as the more conservative
wing.
Accuse Each Other.
Senator LANCER has called Mr..
Aandahl the "tool of oil interests
and the private utilities" Mr..
Aandahl has retorted that "Langer
is the biggest political buffer !
have ever known" who has failed
to deliver on campaign promises
in the past and is an "errand boy
who spends most of his time doing
personal favors.
Principal issues of the campaign
have been tidelands oil, REA, and
the method Of distributing power
from Federal dams.
The Republican Congressional
candidates are Usher Burdick, in
|cumbent, and Orris Nordhougen
of the nonpartisan league, Otto
Kruger and A. r. BergeSen OF
the Republican Organizing Com
mittee, and Clyde Byerly, unsuc-
cessful Democratic candidate for
governor in 1850.
The only contest on the Demo-
cratic ballot is for the United
States nomination. H. A. Morri-
son of Cavalier and Peter Zappas
jamestown, are the opponents.

Taft's Delegate Claim
For Virginia Is Called
50 Pei. Exaggerated

A high Republican official in
Virginia yesterday charged that
Senator Taft's claim to 10 of the
Old Dominion's presidential
nominating convention delegates
could not been made in the
interest Of truth or honesty
from a party standpoint.
Miss Phillis Otey, of Richmond,
vice-chairman of the Republican
State Central Committee. said
the claims on Virginia delegates
made in Senator Taft's Thursday
night radio-television broadcast
"can only be classified as fraudu-
lent"
Claim Is Disputed.
'I do not presume to have an
authoritative estimate of the
exact number of Virginia dele
gates committed either to- Taft
or Eisenhower" she said, 'but ]
do know that the Taft claim is
exaggerated by close to SO per
cent :" Miss Otey said.
ANY other tabulation of dele
gate strength, such as the Asso-
ciated Press or United Press totals,
shows Taft's latest claim to be at
least so per cent inflated"
The Associated Press tabula-
tion credits the Ohio Senator with
13 delegates and says he claims
19 of the % delegates.
IF the Taft delegate claims in
other States are overestimated in
the same proportion as they are
in Virginia" Miss Otey said,
''Taft's actual Nationwide delegate
strength must be from 100 to $50
less than he claims"
Miss Otey's statement, released
through Eisenhower headquarters
here, said no Eisenhower delegate
