Fair Treatment
Assured Taft
In New Jersey
WASHINGTON HP) Sen.
H. Alexander Smith (R-NJ)
assured Sen. Robert A. Taft
today that he can count on
fair treatment in the New
Jersev Renublican president
ial primary.
Smith, a self-stvlrd “neutral” in
the race for the C3OP nresidential
nominat'en. said he holds that view
desDite Gov. Alfred E. Driscoll’s en
dorsement of Gen. Dwight D. Eis
enhower.
Smith sought unsuccessfully last
week to Dersuade Taft to remain
in the New Jersey primary' after
the Ohio senator announced he was
pulling out. Taft charged—AND
DrisqbH denied—that toe New Jer
sey governor had violated a pledge
of neutrality. <
A New Jersey court ruled this
week that, it was too.late for Taft’s
name to be removed ffgm the bal
lot. _ --
smith told a reporter he is glad
to See Taft’s name stay ..on the
! ballot but regrets that toe Ohioan
, did not remain in toe race vol
• untarily .

' a fair break in the New Jersey
