recent years by reports from
peasants that a ship has been
seen on the snow-covered slopes.
Mr.. Newton displayed a small
sack of a black substance which
he says is pitch from the remains
of Noah's Ark.
I'm convinced the ark has been
found" he said.
Mr.. Newton said he had been in
touch with several Turks since he
returned from the last expedition.
Recently. one of them, a man from
Constantinople, wrote saying he
had discovered remains of the
ark on Mount Ararat. The Turk
also sent along the sack of what
appears to be bits of charcoal.
The letter noted: "These pieces
were picked with my hands
from 40 centimeters inside the
sand of the mountain of Noahs
Ark. If we had available tools
for making excavations, no doubt
we would obtain the big pieces of
the boat"
The 1949 expedition was under
the leadership of Aaron j. Smith,
la retired missionary from Green's
lboro, N. c. Mr.. Newton was Off
Ecial photographer. Two other
Americans and an Associated
Press correspondent made the trip.
/ A good many Turks went along
Ialso. Russia had denounced the
expedition as a spying operation.
The Turks sent troops mainly to
keep bandits from waylaying the
travellers, however.
They found nothing. Turkish
officials later said it at least
served the purpose of killing off
the many stories that a huge
craft was exposed on Mount
Ararat. AS early as 1916, Rus
sia aviator made such a report
after a flight over the area.
Mr.. Newton is from Foley, Ala,
where he has a farm. He is liv-
ing in Washington at 145 Twelfth
street Sc. A house painter by
trade, he has been working for

Speaking of the support for Gen.
Eisenhower here, Mr.. Bowles said
that women voters favored the
general strongly over Senator
Taft. A poll taken by the Boston
Globe showed the women voting,
2-to-1, for Gen. Eisenhower.
Mr.. Bowles, admitting Taft
strength in the State, said he
believed that Gen. Eisenhower
would run from to 10 per cent
of the vote ahead of Senator Taft
in the preference primary and
that If he did, the general would
make a clean sweep of the dele
gates to the Republican National
Committee. He added that he
did not believe the Taft people
would elect more than one dele
gate. He conceded that Wesley
Powell. running as a delegate-at-
large favorable to Senator Taft,
would be a tough man to beat.
Both the Taft and Eisenhower
camps appear to have plenty of
money. And to be spending it.
There is no limitation on expendi-

primary. Advertising. radio time.

and mailed to all Republican
voters takes money. At least two
letters, circularizing every Repub-

been mailed out by both sides.
Excessive Spending Denied.
F. E. Johnston. executive secre-
tary of the Taft committee, pooh
poohed the idea that excessive
sums were being expended for his
candidate. He said he. did not
think the total expenditures would
exceed $4,000. But, he added.
the Eisenhower people were SPEND
ing three or four dollars for every
one spent by the Taft organization.
That's absurd" commented Mr..
Bowles-who insisted that the
Taft campaign was costing as
much. if not more, than that put
on for Gen. Eisenhower. He
frankly admitted that both sides
were plentifully supplied with
money. It is believed that some
part of it is contributed by the
National Taft Committee and by
the National Eisenhower Com
mittee. In other words. part Of it
comes from out of the State.
A special effort has been made
to line up the doctors in support
of Senator Taft-as the great ex-
ponent of free enterprise and op-
ponent of socialized medicine. In
fact, a doctors committee has
been working to that end. The
Eisenhower people admit Senator
Taft has a number of the doctors
with him-but, they say. the move
has cut both ways. A letter was
sent, with the blessing Of the
American Medical Association, to

Some Doctors Irked.
This suggestion has burned up
some Of the doctors, who resent
being asked for lists of patients.
However. some of the pro-Taft
doctors claim the Senator viii
have 8 out of 10 physicians with
him in this contest. The doctors
worked for Senator Taft's re-
election in 1850.
the veterans constitute another
group to whom much attention
has been given. and the Eisen-
hover camp believes it will have
many of them. And the citizens
of French descent have not been
overlooked. There are q large
number of them in the State, and
they have been circularized with
pro Eisenhower literature in
French. proclaiming him the lib
orator of France.
The main issue between Gen.
Eisenhower and Senator Taft
used frequently in the campaign
is foreign policy, and national de-
fense. The Eisenhower speakers
have criticized Senator Taft's
votes in the Senate on foreign pol
icy. New Hampshire voters. in the
main, are not isolationist. Many
OF them, however, have been will
ing to turn their blind side to
Senator Taft on foreign policy and
to support him as q fighter against
the Truman Fair Deal and for
Republican domestic policies.
New Hampshire's Senators.
Tobey and Bridges, take different
positions in this campaign. Sem
ator Tobey is an all-out Eisen-
hover supporter and is expected
to return to New Hampshire per-
haps to speak for the general and
certainly to vote for him. Sena-
tor Bridges has attempted to re-
main neutral, saying that his posi-
tion as Republican floor leader of
the Senate demands that he keep
hands off in this Republican con-
test. Both sides claim him.
For the first time this year
New Hampshire is holding a presi-
Dental preferential primary
with the names of the presiden-
tial candidates printed on the
ballot. Also, more emphasis is
given to the presidential candi-
dates in the listing of the names
Of the candidates for delegate to
the national convention. Each
slate carrier, under the name Of
the delegate candidate, the name
Of the presidential candidate
whom they favor.
In the presidential preference
vote column are listed Gen. Eisen-
hover, William r. Schneider, Har-
old E. Stassen and Senator Taft.
The Stassen entry divides the Taft
opposition, and to some degree will
hurt Gen. Eisenhower, it is be-
lieved. On the other hand, the
ballot is SO written that voters may
write in other names-and it is
believed that several thousand will
write in the name Of Gen. Mac
Arthur, which may detract from
the Taft vote. Also on the ballot
is a column in which the voters
may express a choice for a vice
presidential candidate. No one is
listed as candidate for Vice
on the Republican bal
lot.
