C., TUESDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 29, 1952 Taft's Forces Accused Os Absurd Claims WASHINGTON IIP) Eis enhower backers charged to day that Sen. Robert A. Taft’s supporters are put ting out “absurd claims” that Taft was “the popular choice” in Republican pri maries held so far this year. | Wes Roberts, executive director | of the organization seeking the Re publican presidential nomination for Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, is sued a statement accusing the Taft camp of “juggling figures” and using “New Deal arithmetic” in an attempt to show that Taft is a bigger yote-puller than Eisenhow er. i “Actually. Taft has shown a start ling weakness among Republican voters,” Roberts declared. “And if he cannot win the Republican vote, what vote ran he win? Surely not the votes of independents whom Sen. Taft has labeled ‘m ug wumps.’ ” Roberts said the Taft camp’s claims to a majority of the popular votes in GOP primaries to date collapses if Wisconsin is eliminated from the totals. Eisenhower was not on the ticket in Wisconsin and write-in votes were not permitted. “Take out Wisconsin, and Eisen hower is ahead by 173,334 votes,” Roberts said. The Eisenhower manager said that Taft actually made a good , shewing in “Aeiy -Trie.state'out'of seven—namely *he Chicago'Tribune -dominated state of Illinois .. . .

Eisenhower leaders claimed they would win a “comfortable” major ity of Ahe delegates, but Taft said he expected to win a “fair” share. OTHER EVENTS In other political developments: 1. Sen. Hubert H. Humphry, (D-Minn), said it is “very doubtful” that the Democratic convention will nominate a presidential candidate who disavows a major platform plank in advance. His remark was aimed at Sen.
