He recalled that on April

"Never in the history of the

Eisenhower Beats aft in JERSEY
General Given Murqir
Of Nearly $50, 900
Votes Over Senator
By Gould Lincoln

by 0OuI0 Lincoln
Gen. Eisenhower's smashing de-
feat of Senator Taft of Ohio in
yesterdays New Jersey presi-
Dental primary gives the general
a score of 2 to 0 in States where
the names of both candidates for
Ithe Republican nomination were
actually on the ballot. The other
State in which the contest was
direct, with both names on the
ballot, was New Hampshire.
The returns from the New Jer-
Isey primary indicate that Gen.
Eisenhower will have a margin of
100000 votes over the Ohio Sena-
tor when all the votes are counted,
and that Gen. Eisenhower will
have received so per cent Of the
total number vote cast. Harold
E. Stassen, former Governor of
Minnesota, ran a poor third.
Here is the latest count, accord
ing to Associated Press figures:
With lit of the States 3,840
ELECTION districts still to report,
1.-THE count in the presidential
preference poll gave Gen. Eisen-
hover 364,901 votes to 217,933 for
Senator Taft and 21,675 for MI.
lStaSSen.
Gets 81 Delegates.
Further, Gen. Eisenhower will
have at least 81 of the States 38
delegates to the Republican Ma
tional Convention. where the
presidential nomination will be
made, to 4 and possibly for
Senator Taft and / for Mr.
Stassen.
The New Jersey victory restores
to Gen. Eisenhower some Of the
distance which he lost to Senator
Taft in the presidential race in
the Illinois primary and the Ken
tucky State convention last week
1t will, in all probability. have its
effect on the primary results in
Pennsylvania and New York on
April %, and in Massachusetts, on
April 20, in all of which big blocks
of delegates will be chosen.
There is no presidential pref
erence vote in New York, but there
it is expected the great majority
of the delegates will be supporters
of Gen. Eisenhower. The general
is entered in the Pennsylvania
preference primary. and so is Mr.
Stassen. but Senator Taft has re-
NAMED out of this contest. Ir
Massachusetts states of delegates
for Gen. Eisenhower and Senator
Taft will compete and both mer
will meet in a write in" contest

Federal Budget Bureau officials
and the District Commissioners
conferred for 80 minutes today
on their two separate plans for
|reorganizing the District govern
ment.
After the meeting, Budget Di-
rector Frederick j. Lawton said
they are planning no further dis
cussionS. Mr.. Lawton added that
the two groups will meet with
President Truman on the reor-
|ganization question again next
week.
While this conference was 60
ing on, an emergency committee
of representatives of citizens
groups met at the Board of Trade
conference room. The commit
tee indorsed the plan proposed
by the Commissioners. 1t OBJECT
ed to adoption of any reorgani-
zation plan without giving the
citizens chance to see it. "Details
of this meeting will be found in
another story on page A-23J
Merely a Discussion.
Budget Bureau officials favor a
council-manager form of city gov
ernment, and the Commissioners
want a Streamlined setup under
the present Commissioner form.
Today'S meeting was not held
for the purpose of reaching any
decision. Mr.. Lawton explained to
reporters.
ut was a discussion to get to-
gether all the facts regarding
both plans so that the President
can make the decision" he added
The goal is to get presidential
approval of one blueprint or the
other so that a proposal may be
placed before Congress by May l..
That deadline leaves 60 days in
which Congress may either let a
reorganization program stand, or
vote it down by a constitutional
majority by either house.
Under questioning by reporters,
Mr.. Lawton said he saw no need
for a public hearing on the Bud
get Bureau plan which came to
light less than three weeks ago.
He said, however, that the bureau
will inform the President of the
public reaction, which has been
generally opposed to the bureau
plan.
"The President reads the news
papers. too, you know" Mr.. Law
ton said with smile.
Robinson at Conference.
Engineer Commissioner Ber-
nard l.. Robinson, architect of the
Commissioners plan, attended the
conference with Commissioner F.
Joseph Donohue. Commissioner
John Russell Young did not at
tend the meeting, although he has
advocated the Robinson plan
along with his colleagues.
Gen. Robinson said the confer
Ience was a friendly one. "All was
amicable, no matter how violent
the differences" he reported.
The general said the meeting
was not held for the purpose of
reaching a compromise. "No COM
promise is possible where two basic
concepts are incompatible" he
said.
