Warren and Stassen,
Denounce Truman's S
Primaries Stand

Two Republican candidates for
President struck back today at
President TIuman's statement yes
terday dismissing State primaries
as eye-wash.
Mr.. Truman made the remark
IN withdrawing his name from
the March II New Hampshire
contest. Although still not dis
closing his plans, the President
told his news conference he could
have the nomination If he wants
it when the convention meets in
July.
'Never Eye-Wash."
"The election process in this
country is never eye-waSh." re-
torted Republican Gov. Earl War
rem of California.
Harold E. Stassen, another Re-
publican aspirant, said, President
Truman's statement is an exam
pie of the cynical attitude Of the
Pendergast machine toward the
rights Of the people"
Several Democratic Senator's
agreed with the Presidents con-
cluSion that he can have another
nomination If he wants it, but
most Of them SHE'D away from
comment ON his reference to the
primaries.
Taft Gets Eight i'm N. Y.
Meanwhile, Senator Taft, Re-
publican, of Ohio. was enjoying
the news that he will have the
eight Queens County. N. Y. dele
gates. Backers of Gen. Eisen-
hover have been counting on a.
solid New York delegation Of So
for their candidate.
Senator Taft last night sent the
following telegram to Frank Ken
ma, Republican county leader Of
the Borough of Queens:
Il was greatly pleased to see
the announcement in the New
York Times that you are openly
supporting my candidacy and that
the eight delegates to the Repub-
1ican Convention from Queens
County will support me at the con-
vention. I note also that the slate
will not be contested by the State
administration. I am grateful toI
you for your support and regard
it as significant of the truly grass
roots Republican sentiment in New
York City. a section which has
been steadily claimed by my op-
ponents. The same sentiment was
shown at the meeting of the Wom-
ems National Republican Club in
New York last week and I feel con-
fident that many other New York
delegates will join those from
Queens County. Best regards"
Strategy Change Seen.
Some observers saw a change
of administration strategy in the
Presidents eye-wash statement
They recalled that only a fewI
weeks ago Senator Humphrey off
Minnesota became a favorite son
candidate in his States primary
with administration urging, as an
open supporter of the President.
Shortly thereafter Senator Nc
Mahon, Democrat, of Connecticut,
another administration supporter,
went into the Illinois primary, I
only to Withdraw few days later.

Work on UNIT Bill
To Be Started Monday
by House Committee
By George Beveridge

The House Armed Services
Committee viii go into closed ses-
sion Monday to begin work on a
supplementary bill to clear the
way for universal military train
ling.
More than 10 witnesses during
the last two weeks have testified
on the bill, which would define
legal rights and obligations of
youths in a UNIT program. If
Congress approves the provisions,
some sort of UNIT could be
started later this year.
Biggest problem facing the
committee. however. appeared to
be a dispute over how long the
UNIT inductees would stay in uni
form.
Pentagon Plan Criticized.
Defense Department officials
have said they want to start the
program with volunteers who
would agree to remain on active
duty for IS months after finishing
their six-month UNIT courses.
This plan met heavy criticism
from spokesmen for veterans
groups and other organizations.
Chairman Vinson of the House
committee said he would propose
next week that the UNIT grad
uatess be sent into Reserve pro-
grams, with some form Of guar
antee that they could not be
ordered to active duty as reServists
Immediately. Since the program
would have to begin on a small
scale. he said. some plan would
have to be worked out to decide
who would go into UNIT and who
would remain eligible for the
draft.
Reduced Draft Calls Forecast.
Meanwhile. draft officials indi-
Gated that a drop in casualty rates
in Korea and increased voluntary
enlistments will reduce the num-
Der OF men it originally was
planned to draft during the first
half of this year.
Selective Service Director Lewis
B. Hershey told the committee
yesterday he believed draft esti.
mates, based on Pentagon figures
last November, will be reduced
somewhat.
However, he said he has re-
ceived no official notice to that
effect from the Pentagon. He said
there undoubtedly have been
changes in the manpower situa-
ton, but that his Office has not
attempted to correlate them with
the Pentagon's November figures.
