Demos Assured
Real Fight By
Sen. Kefduyer

WASHINGTON up = Sen.
Estes Kefauver, who has as
Sured the Democrats a par
ty fight this year, began
casting about today for
promising state primaries in
which TO make his long-shot
bid for the presidential NOM
ination.
He already has entered the Ilh-
nois primary. and he announced
plans to enter in California. He
promised to disclose within a few
days what he will do in other
states.

captured national attention pre-
siding over the Senate crime in

a news conference yesterday that
he will seek the Democratic presi-
dental nomination. He said he is in
the race TO the finish" whatever
President Truman may do about
seeking reelection.
TRYING TO STOP HIM
The fact that he gave no heed to
Mr.. Trnman's still undisclosed plans
has already led some administra-
ton Democrats to join stop-Ke-
fauver movement.
Sen. Brien Mcmahon D-Conn9
has been entered in the Illinois
primary with the backing of state
organization Democrats. When pro-
Kefauver activity appeared in Min

state.
Some Democratic party strate-
gists have predicted a similar pat
tern in other states where Ke-
fauver may decide to bid for dele
gates who will pick the nominee at
the party convention next July.
If Mr., Truman decides against
seeking re-eleetiolf, few expect him

Negroes In
Virginia Favor
Taft Over Ike

RICHMOND, Va. - # Senator
Robert Taft or General Ike Eisen-
hover, is nominated by the Re-
publican National convention for
President, little support can be
expected for either of them from
Negro voters in Virginia in Nov
ember.
Of the two aspirants for the
presidency, Taft is more popular
among Virginia Negroes. They pre-
fer Taft's views on the contro-
versial FEPC to Eisenhower's
more conservative position, but the
Ohio Senator is on the black list
just the same.
A check in the larger cities and
populous rural areas in Virginia
since Gen. Eisenhower returned to
America, indicates that Taft will
get some Negro support in this
state if he is nominated.
The Republican party has been
more active in the current presi-
dental campaign in Virginia than
at any other time since the inaugu-
ration of the New Deal under
Franklin D. Roosevelt. COP lead
ers in Virginia think the party
could have its best chance this year
to end the reign of the Democratic
administration in the White House
in almost 20 years.
While Republicans in this state
are bidding for more support "a
mong Negroes, they seem more
concerned with winning dissident
Dixiecrats and independent voters
who have abandoned the Democrats
on account of President Truman's
civil rights program.
