results of advertising costs from
Holiday Magazine, Hawaii spent
per inquiry twenty-five cents
more than Alaska" he said.
Alaskan ads appeared five times
each in Time and NeWsweek,
bringing a combined total of near
ly 1900 inquiries. Holiday and
Sunset ads attracted about 1000,
while ads placed in three low-cost
teachers magazines were the in

ROANOKE, Va. May 31.-The
largest. most enthusiastic Repub-
lican State convention in Vir-
ginia's history opened here today.
Forces behind Senator Taft for
President were in control of key
positions. but supporters of Gen.
Eisenhower hoped to capture the
four remaining delegates at large
to be selected to go to Chicago.
Republican supporters OF the
Ohio Senator chalked up a pre-
liminary victory. however. even
before the convention got to work.
Three Taft Delegates Seated.
That victory came last night at
a meeting of the State Central
Committee. which voted to put
the names of three Taft-favoring
delegations on the temporary roll
of the convention over three con-
testing pro-Eisenhower states.
These were delegations from
Richmond and adjacent Henrico
County, part of the Sd con-
|gressional district whose two ma
tional delegates are in dispute
and the Central Virginia county
of Amherst.
Eisenhower supporters. still have
a chance-an admittedly slim one
to be seated. If they can plead
their cases successfully before the
conventions credentials commit

Forces Swap Smear
Blasts in South Dakota
Ex-Gov. Nicholson Admits
His Paris Trip Cost Was
Borne BY Committee
By ihe Assoeioted Press

PIERRE. s. OAK. May ST.
Alleged smear" tactics and an
expense-paid trip to Paris became
hot issues today in the bitterly
fought contest for South Dakota S
IA Republican presidential nomi-
mating delegates.
Former Gov. George T. Nickel
son was the central figure in the
newest outbreak in intra-G. o. 2.
warfare. He is heading a slate of
delegates running for Gen. Eisen-
hover against slate backing Sem
ator Taft of Ohio in next Tues
days presidential primary.
Mr.. Nicholson told the Asso-
ciated Press, in reply to charges
leveled by David S. ingalls,, Sena-
tor Taft's campaign manager, that
the National Eisenhower Commit
tee had picked up the transporta-
ton check for his recent visit to
the general in Paris.
Doesn't Know Amount.
Mr.. Nicholson said he doesn't
know what total expenditure was
involved but that he spent $500 of
his own money.
Mr.. ingalls, had brought up the
question Of Mr.. Mickelson's ex-
ses on trip that produced a
statement by the former Governor
that Gen. Eisenhower supports a
program of farm price supports.
The farm vote in the South Da-
kota primary could be a decisive
factor.
Mr.. Nicholson denied emphat-
ically that any South Dakota Re
publican delegate elected in the
primary will have a free ride to
talk to Gen. Eisenhower in Denver
or any other stopping place after
the general takes of his uniform
next Tuesday to become a civilian
candidate Tor the presidential
nomination.
Calls Plan Bribery.
Leaders in some States said
such a program Of expense free
trips to consult with Gen. Eisen-
hover is in the works for their
delegations.
Mr.. ingalls, declared In a WASH
ington statement yesterday that
the purported plan for the trips
comes pretty close to efforts for
bribery" Mr.. Nicholson said he
doesn't know about that but he
believes there Is a definite effort
in the primary campaign here 'to
viciouSly smear" the general.
