The Taft victory in Illinois, though expected, puts Senator Robert Taft in a stronger position than at any time since the New Hampshire and Minnesota primaries. But there are indications that the Ohio Senator’s steamroller will be thoroughly tested this week and next, when results of the New York and Pennsylvania pri maries will then become known. Then, on the 29th of this month, the Mama chusetts primary will be held. Of these fdqrkey-state primaries, Eisen hower is favored in three. If forecasts come tree and the Gen eral wins in three of the four or all four of them, he willbnve regained the offensive. Senator Taft, how ever, took over the offensive with Wisconsin, Nebraska and Illinois vic tories in succession. That stopped the Eisenhower wagon, which had carried the day in the first two pri maries. Now, it seems that Eisen hower’s forces will have their turn, boosted somewhat by Ike's resigna tion.. .--■■■ There is a chance that by the end of April delegate votes for the two major Republican candidates will be pretty closely matched. Eisenhower forces claim delegate Victories in Iowa and Michigan. Taft forces have won in Tennessee and several other conventions, These Convention bat tles, though less publicized, are just as important as the primary battles in the one sense—that they produce delegates just like ; primary votes. However, they do not show the popu lar appeal of the candidates as ac S««sisr Write or See Us About Our ALL FIRE-SAFE, LONG-LASTING, LOW-COST, VITA-UTE CONCRETE HOUSI PHONE 8412 KINSTON, N.

The * z this month, coming i next, and the last, will con , the third round. Eisenhower is favored to win this one, and if he does not, it will seriously affect his chafiees ||r the nomination. Likewise, if Senator Taft wins as many as two of the' four eastern states his fortune will rise appreciably. II Ike;wins all four of the major primary tests, he will have taken a long step forward. The President’s first mews confer ence with the Washington" press corps after his announcement that he wouldn’t run again in 1962 was' a strange one. Beaming and in a good humor the President entered this dramatic Conference. On that very day he had learned of Newbold Mor ris’ dismissal in the newspaper, and had fired his Attorney General, J. Howard McGrath, who had fired Morris. . In addition to tliat, he was entertaining Queen Juliana and Prince "Bernhard in the White House, plus trying to stave'off a steel strike. In addition to a few. other items, this was all the President had on his mind. Yet at four p.m., he crossed the street from -the White'House, to the old State Department Building and took the elevator up to the fourth floor. He stepped into a side room and then walked into the room where reporters were standing on top of each other. This was the first con ference he had had with, these veteran newsment- sinee-he had announced his exit. The conference lasted only about fifteen minutes. Questions were con tinuing fast and furious when a wire reporter cut the session short by giv ing the “Thank You, Mr. President” too soon. It seemed that it was done purposely. Anyhow, when the dust had cleared, and the President left, a number of people in the ' room were puzzled. Not one word had been said about the President’s impending re tirement. Not a word of regret had been expressed. No one had said a friendly word, for the President. -It was as if' nothing had happened. President Truman must have won dered. ■ ■ > The Army is talcing combat-train ed Korean veterans and sending them to the States to conduct troop train ing.
