All 3 House Members
Facing Opposition Win
Illinois denominations
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, April all Of the
eight Illinois House members
with primary opposition appear to
have won denomination in yes
Iterday's balloting.
One of them was Adolph j.
SABBATH Of Chicago, 86-year-old
dean of the House. Mr.. SABBATH,
who has As years continuous
service in Congress-, piled up an
easy victory over his Democratic
opponent, Stanley Piechowicz, in
the 5th district.
Pre-primary speculation that
Representative Robert B. Clipper
field of Canton might encounter
a strong challenge failed to ma
terialize. In a four-way Repub-
lican race Mr.. Chiperf1eld outdis-
tanced his closest rival, Mayor
Melvin Mckay of Rock Island, by
a 4 to l margin in incomplete re-
turns from the 10Th district.
Another veteran G. o. P. House
member. C. w. Runt) Bishop of
Carterville, defeated James S.
Pritchard of Benton, a former
sheriff. and Ray j. Hawkins of
Marion.
The five other Republican House
members who apparently won over
primary opponents were Harold
H. Velde of Pekin, Marguerite
Stitt Church of Evanston, William
E. McVey Of Harvey. Chauncey
w. Reed of West Chicago and
Timothy P. Sheen Of Chicago.
Mrs. Phyllis Stewart Schlafly
OF Godfrey. whose bid for the Re-
publican nomination in the oath
district attracted attention
stepped out ahead of her rival
John T. R. Godlewski of East
st. Louis. The winner will face
Democratic Representative Melvin
Price of East St. Louis in the
November election.
OF the 18 incumbents unop-
posed in the primary. II are Re-
publicans and seven are Demo-
crats.
Two Of them, Peter F.. Mack
Carlinville Democrat. and Edward
H. Jenison, Paris Republican, will
clash in the election. They were

Senator Lodge refused to answer
specifically Senator Dirksen's
questions. He said the Dirksen
cable did not reach him before
he left Paris last night.
After listening to a reporters
reading of the questions, Senator
Lodge declared:
Its picayune to expect a man
who is in military headquarters
without staff of political ad-
visers to give offhand answers to
tricky questions.
when Senator Dirksen asks
questions like that, it's just a po-
litical trick and it makes him un-
dignified and he should not do it,"

Taft Proud Of Victory
In Illinois Primary;
Claims 200 Delegates

Senator Taft of Ohio comment
ing today on his victory in the
Illinois Republican presidential
primary yesterday, told a press
conference at the Senate Office
Building:
II am proud Of the result in
Illinois, Wisconsin and Nebraska.
1t is not an easy task to defeat a
popular wartime general in sue
cesSive elections.
I'm the fourth largest State in
the Union I have carried the
State by a smashing margin of
6 to ! against him. It is signif1-
cant that my vote was far in
excess Of a majority Of all the
votes cast for all candidates COM
bined. 1t appears to be about 10
per cent of the total. My vote
was six times more than Harold
StaSsen and at least six times
more than that of Gen. Essen
hover"
Lodge View Differs.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,
campaign manager for Gen.
Eisenhower, on his arrival in New
York today from his visit to the
general in Paris, took a very diff
ferent view of the Illinois primary
results.
"The Illinois primary results
mean nothing so far as Eisen-
hover is concerned" said Senator
Lodge. 1--WE made no effort there"
Both Senator Taft and Mr.. Stas-
sen were on the primary ballot in
Illinois while Gen. Eisenhower was
not. A campaign for write-in votes
was made by a number of daily
newspapers and it is expected that
Eisenhower's total write-in vote
will be approximately $4,000.
Had Expected to Win.
Senator Taft said he had ex-
pected to win in Illinois but not
so impresSively. He said he
thought he had won all of the
contests for district delegates in
Illinois except perhaps two.
"The delegates selected yester-
day by the Illinois voters COM
prised the largest block of dele
gates (to the Republican Ma
tional Convention) yet chosen.

Morris Back TODAY
To Tell OF Brief Career
As Cleanup Director
By George Beveridee

Private Citizen Newbold Morris
beat a path back to the Capital
today, taking advantage of two
chances to tell about his brief
career as the Governments clean
up boss.
The wealthy, 50-year-old New
York attorney, who was on the
Federal payroll for just over two
months. was to make his first ap-
pearance at a National Press Club
luncheon this afternoon.
The subject Of his talk, adver-
tised long in advance. is: MY
Mission in Washington"

invitation to make a second Cap
itol Hill appearance tomorrow
this time before the House SUBJ
committee investigating the JUS
tice Department.
Clashed at Ship Probe.
In his first Capitol visit. under
sharply different conditions, Mr..
Morris became involved in stormy
exchanges with Senators probing
his connection with surplus ship
deals.
Chairman Chef of the House
Judiciary subcommittee said men,
berS wanted to ask the ousted
cleanup man about numerous pub
lie statements he has made since
last Thursday. That was the day
both he and former Attorney Cen
eral McGrath were swept out of
Office.
Meanwhile, the Chelf subcom-
mittee postponed until late to-
morrow a closed session to ques-
ton A. Dewitt Vanech, who as
Deputy Attorney General was No.
2 man to Mr.. McGrath. The
meeting, slated for 10 am. today,
was put off when the House went
into early session. Committee
spokesman said Mr.. Morris would
appear in open session at 10 am.
tomorrow.
McGrath Affairs Checked.
Officials also disclosed that sub
committee investigators are now
in Rhode Island, checking on at
fairs of Mr.. McGrath. There are
no immediate plans to call Mr..
McGrath, but Republican mem
bers have made plain he will be
questioned later.
Subcommittee members are GER
tain to ask Mr.. Morris for his YER
sion of events leading up to his
custer. But they also want ex-
plantations of his statement that
official Washington doesn't want
to be investigated" And they
want to know what, If anything,
he saw of actual wrongdoing.
In Dumont network television
interview last night. Mr.. Morris
said in his brief Washington stay
he did not find evidence of wide
spread corruption" His aides
have pointed out, however, that
virtually no investigative work
was done.
Personal Report Delayed.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Morris said ne
had abandoned plans to personally
deliver a set of written recon-
mendationS to the White House
this week. He hadn't had a chance
to put them together, he told a
reporter. but they might be mailed
later.
Since his custer, Mr.. Morris
has not been invited to the White
House. Asked if he planned to
go there at all during his current
visit, he replied:
Il may go by just to see the
fountain and the tulips"

General Manager of American

PAST PRESIDENT DINNER

Ray G. Atherton, general man
ager of the American Trucking AS
sociations with headquarters in
Washington, D. c., will be the prin-
ciple speaker at the Past Presi-
dents Dinner of the Delaware Mo
tor Truck Association which is to
be held at 6 PM. on Tuesday, May
81, in the Starlight Room of the
Hotel Rodney in Wilmington, it
was announced by Samuel B. Sing
er, general chairman of the dinner
committee. In addition to honor
ing all past presidents of the twen-
ty-year-old Delaware organization
of motor truck owners and operat-
ors, the dinner on May 27 will also
mark the launching of new and
continuing program for increased
highway safety combined with
more adequate highways to accom-
modate the ever-increasing motor
vehicle traffic. For the past twen-
ty years, Mr.. Atherton has been
associated with the motor carrier
industry, both as a federal official
and as representative of various
motor truck organizations. He has
served in his present capacity as
general manager of the American
Trucking Associations for the past
nine years. In 1892, Mr.. Atherton,
who for the two preceding years
had served as manager of the
Chamber of Commerce in Wewoka,
Oklahoma, first became identified
with motor carrier activities when
he was appointed manager of the
Associated Motor Carriers of Okla
homa. During his four years in
that position, he also served as sec
retary to the Oklahoma Code Au-
thority for the trucking industry
under the authority of the National
Recovery Administration. In those
same years, he participated active

Poor Wiring
Boosts Electric Bill

Delaware farmers are using
more electricity to reduce hand
labor and speed up chores, says
Earl A. Croust, agricultural engin-
eer with the Delaware Agricultural
Extension Service.
But old, inadequate wiring is
still slowing up the job electricity
does on many farms. Grouse sug-
gests several ways to find out if
your farm wiring is inadequate.
Do lights dim when refrigerator,
pump, heating, etc., motors turn
on?
Does your radio volume decrease
when other appliances switch on?
DO motors in the barn operate
poorly when the electric stove or
other large household electric
equipment is on?
DO electric motors on your farm
stal easily or get hot fast?
If you're losing time and patience
over these troubles, chances are
that the wiring is inadequate. Most
common causes are too long, and
too small wires. These wires in
crease resistance and slow up cleo
tricity. Studits show that extra
costs of from eight to ten percent
can be charged to too long and too
small farmstead wires, says Grouse.

Of cases under General Assistance
in Delaware dropped by 169 in
March, 1852, as compared with
March, 1851 Total expenses for
this phase of the departments
work were S762 higher in 1852 than
in 1851. The drop in the number
of cases receiving general assist
ance reflects great activity on the
part of the staff to investigate re-
quests for general assistance, and
to transfer applicants to a more
specialized type of assistance, for
which Federal funds are available,
DR.. Huntington said. The entire
general assistance program is fin
anced by state and county. Some
persons formerly receiving general
assistance properly belonged in the
group receiving aid for disabled,
and have been transferred there, he
explained.
Welfare Home and Child Aid
Delaware's two other services
supervised by the State Depart
ment of Public Welfare, the Wei
fare Home in Smyrna, and the
Child Welfare Services, showed
slight changes in cost during March
DR.. Huntington said. At the Wei
fare Home, administration costs
were 81, 900 less in March than they
had been the month before. The
daily cost per patient had dropped
from S2.88 in February to- S2.65 in
March, a saving of % cents day.
Expenditures for services such as
food, fuel, and medicine increased
about 81, 900 in March because of
the increased number of patients
at the overcrowded home. Child
Welfare Services provided care for
$50 children in March of this year
compared to 974 in March, 1851
More than half of the children
cared for this year are in foster
homes. In March, 1851, a little
over a third of the children were
in foster homes. 1t is the aim OF
the service to provide as many
foster homes as possible for chill
dren. Costs for maintaining the
children in March. 1852, were about
$4,000 higher than in the CORE
spending month last year because
of increased boarding expenses
Other expenses for this division Of
the departments work were about
$4,000 higher, however, due largely
to the purchase of two cars anc

ity for nearly six years, during
which time he established I. C. C..
field offices in Oklahoma, Arkansas
and Louisiana, and directed the ad-
and enforcement of
the Motor Carrier Act in those
three states. Almost Immediately
after the outbreak of World War
II, Mr.. Atherton was appointed as
sociate director of the Division Of
Motor Transport in the Office of
Defense Transportation in Wash
ington. He was responsible for the
establishment and operation Of
more than $50 O.D.T. field offices
throughout the country and for the
of the large field staff
needed by that federal agency for
its wartime control of the millions
of trucks comprising the vitally i'm

GIVES REPORT
ON WELFARE
Public Welfare Director Says
State Getting More Than
Average For Money
CASE COSTS GIVEN

Delaware is getting more welfare
service for it's dollar than the ma
tional average. DIR. Park w. Hunt
ington, director of the State De-
partment of Public Welfare, de-
clared. Commenting on the de-
partment's monthly report of ser
vices to the state, DR.. Huntington
pointed out that the average
amount of money spent by Della
ware in March, 1852, for aid to de-
pendent children, aid to disabled,
old age assistance, and general as
sistance amounted to $199.07 per
case. The national average spent
for these same services during
March, 1852, amounted to S211.70.
While the overall saving cannot be
attributed entirely to the recent
consolidated program, this phase of
Delaware's welfare setup makes for
economical operation, DR.. Hunting
ton explained. The program of in.
tensive in-service training which is
being conducted under the depart
ment plan enables supervisors and
case workers to serve well in those
fields in which they have not work
ed previously, he said. This means
more efficiency throughout the var
ious categories. In aid to Depend
ent Children the national average
spent on each case was $76.01. Del
aware spent S81.97. Delaware's
average case consists of 2.95 peo-
pie, while the national average con-
sists of 2.55, DIR. Huntington ex-
planned. Administrative costs for
aid to dependent children in Del
aware dropped slightly, rejecting
a saving of $376.44 over March,
1851. Money spent directly in as
sistance in this phase of the depart
ment's work totalled about $4,000
more in March, 1852, than in March
1851. While part of this was due
to an increase in the number of
persons and cases handled, much of
the increase is a result of more lib
eral allowances for aid to depend
ent children authorized at the last
session of the state legislature.
Old Age and Disabled Assistance
Under the category of old age
assistance, Delaware spent an aver
age of $33.29 in March, 1852, COM
pared to the national average of
$43.67. Delaware's average expend-
iture was $4.55 higher in March,
1852, than it was in March, 1851.
This is explained chiefly by the
increase in maximum amount al
lowed for each old age assistance
case. This was raised from $40 to
$50 a month by the last session Of
the Delaware legislature. One Of
the states newest services, Aid to
Disabled, granted an average of
$44.49 per person during March,
1852, compared to the national
average of $44.46. The number of
cases handled in Delaware in March
of this year was II per cent higher
than in March, 1851; and the aver
age amount spent was $3.37 higher
than in March, 1851. A medical
social worker has been authorized
to work with this branch of the
department, DR.. Huntington said.
Expenses for this program, put in
to effect in September, 1851, by
Congress, are shared by the Fed
eraT Government. General assist
ance cost Delaware an average of
$3.50 per person. Nationally, the
average was $47.56. The number
