Wisconsin Editors
Report kefauyer and
Taft Are Holding Edge
By Relmon NORM
As.ociuted Press Stoff Writer

MILWAUKEE,, Mar. 2l.-A ma
jority of As Wisconsin newspaper
EDITORS. surveying their own coun-
ties. estimate that Senator Taft,
Republican. of Ohio and Senator
Kefauver, Democrat, of Tennes-
see hold the edge in popular senti-
|ment. with IL days of campaign
ing left before the primary elec-
tion. April /.
Senator Taft's principal oppo-
nents in the Republican primary
are Harold E. Stassen, former
Governor of Minnesota, and Gov
Earl Warren Of California.
Senator Kefauver is campaign
ing to take the Democratic dele
gates from two separate states
favorable to President Truman.
Most Of the editors reports were
made before the Minnesota pri-
mary. In that election. Gen
Eisenhower rolled UP more than
100000 votes. all of them write-ins
Eisenhower Isn't Entered.
Gen. Eisenhower is not entered
in Wisconsin either, but the i'm
pact of his Minnesota showing
editors said, could cause changes
in their respective counties.
Their reports showed popular
sentiment apparently favoring
Senator Taft in "a counties. Mr.
Stassen and Gov. Warren were
reported favorites in four counties
each. In two. although he is not
entered, Gen. Eisenhower was de-
Scribed as the favorite. One edi-
tor said he was unable to estimate
Republican sentiment in his county
On the Democratic side, % edi-
tors said Senator Kefauver ap-
pears to be leading the President
13 reported Mr.. Truman is ahead
and 10 said they could not gauge
the Democratic contest.
OF the IS reporting. seven listed
themselves as supporting Senator
Taft, three are backing Mr.. StaS-
sen. and two are for Gen. Eisen-
hover. The survey included %
daily newspapers and % weeklies
or Semi-weeklies.
Some Qualify Report.
Along with their reports OF
grass roots" popularity. many Of
the editors expressed cautious
qualifications, such as
TT may be a close race between
Taft and Stassen. Taft has been
ahead but opinion seems more
evenly divided after hearing both
candidates. Taft has strong
regular Republican backing but
the people supporting Warren are
good vote-getters and may pull Q
surprise. Although Republican
leaders favor Taft. Warren may
capture larger vote among for
mer Progressives than Is ex-
pected."
Similarly, with respect to the
Democratic vote. editors said:
with two states out for Tru-
man, Kefauver is the only big
name on the ticket. An
opinion poll here last week listed
Kefauver as the fayorite.
If Kefauver wins the Democratic
race here, 1t win be by q narrow
margin. -. All we hear Is anti
Truman talk. but that doesn't

Macarthur Denies
He Is Inconsistent in
Avoiding Primaries
By ne Assoeiassd Press

- no Assosiuteu tfose
NEW YORK, Mar. 2l.-Gen.
Douglas Macarthur says there
Is mo inconsistency whatsoever"
between his statement in ls4s
that he would not shrink from
any public call to duty and his
current unwillingness to allow
his name to be used In party
primaries.
Gen. Macarthur made the dec
laration last night in q state
ment saying he neither directly
nor indirectly approved any move
to put his name in the Repub-
lican presidential nomination in
the April ! Wisconsin primary.
The previous statement to
which he referred was issued by
him March 9. 1948, in Tokyo
while he was United States Far.
Eastern commander.
In that statement, issued in
regard to g. o. r. nominating
petitions filed for him In the Wis
consin primary that year, this
general said:
i would be recreant to all my
concepts Of good citizenship were
I to shrink because Of the hazards
and responsibilities involved from
accepting any public duty to which
I might be called by the American
people,"
Similar Statements Issued.
Gen. Macarthur also said at
that time: II do not actively
covet or seek any Office.
He has made q number of sim
liar statements since he returned
to this country following his custer
from his Far Eastern commands
by President Truman.
Maj. Gen. Courtney Whitney,
the generals aide, who issued last
nights statement, was asked if
Gen. MacArthur'S reference to his
1948 principle could be interpreted
as an announcement that he now
would be willing to accept call
from the people to be President.
Gen. Whitney replied that he
would not interpret the statement,
but that any one else was free to
interpret it for himself.
Gen. MacArthur's statement
said his withdrawal Of his name
from State primaries this year had
been questioned as inconsistent"
with his 1948 declaration.
Denies Inconsistency.
He added:
''The principle enunciated Gin
1948) is fundamental to the re-
Sponsibility of citizenship to which
every good American will fully sub
scribe. There is no inconsistency
whatsoever Herewith in my not
seeking political Office through
participation in State primary
elections"
Gen. Macarthur also said:
Il have repeatedly been asked
whether a slate of delegates en-
tered in the Wisconsin primary,
repeatedly as favorable to my Sc
lection, has my direct or indirect
approval. My answer is def
nitely no.
"As did in New Hampshire and
thereafter in Minnesota and else
where, in Wisconsin have done
everything within the State laws
to prevent and discourage any
such movement even by indirec-
ton in my behalf.
MY desire not to become ac-
lively engaged in these State pri-
maries has generally been recog-I
nized. accepted and honored, but
there has remained a few citizens
who have voted for me regardless.
Under such circumstances a vote
for me, instead of. for the active
aspirant for the Republican NOM
ination deemed best qualified, is |
but to waste the all-important op-
portunity for direct participation
in Government at this critical
time"

pass and we will have to pack our
summer and winter clothes and get
ready for our initial trip to the west
coast and Sacramento, California.
Just a couple of weeks ago the
Chronicle had advertisements in it
about the opening of the new
Strawbridge and Clothier Store in
Wilmington, October 1st. Oh my!

When we get home in late spring
II will take all our leave to catch

missed in just years time. Chang

assist with the day children, those

go on, one day I left Lynne at the
summer day school to see how she
would make out She went there
about IL am. and was there for
lunch, nap and play One of the
things that impressed me was her
appetite report. A menu is typed

when the parent arrives to pick up
her offspring the menu might say:
Clipped beef (check)
carrott strips (ate 15)O
mashed potatoes Check
milk {mOst of it,
cookies and pudding Check
That requires a lot of overseeing,
but how much it is appreciated by
the parents.
Lynne's teacher is Mrs. Lois
Hughes and there are about thirty
five in her class. Mrs. Hughes is
young, pretty and Lynne says
"smells good. Her three hours al
kindergarten are spent learning tC
play with other children. They are
taught finger painting, how to worn

music, story time, nap time,

It's a very nice school and please

The collectors most pic

Other unusual items are a
