The train stopped directlv be hind the old Eisenhower home. In an open field adjoining the backyard of the house, ground has been broken for an Eisenhower museum.

Taft WASHINGTON, June 4 The Senate jumped into hot de bate today on a bill that would (a) forbid strikes in critical in dustries for 120 days, (b) set up board to recommend settle ment terms, and (c) allow the President to seize the industry if the terms were not accepted. The measure was offered by Senator Maybank S.C.), chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, as an amendment to the Economic Controls Law, Sen. Robert A.

Taft of Ohio, Republican presidential aspirant, quickly jumped on the Maybank proposal. He said it would be "infinitely tougher on labor than the Taft-Hartley Act," TAFT-HARTLEY LAW The law calls for an 80-day cooling off period and a factfinding board to report on the strike issues. The board, however, can not make settlement recommendations. Senator Morse au thor of a plant seizure bill now before another SenateLcommit tee, termed Maybank's proposal unworkable. He told a reporter he had heard some mention among senators that Maybank's plan might amount to compulsory arbitra tion.

But he said he doesn agree with that theory. NO WAGE RAISE Under the Maybank proposal the President would "pay just compensation to the owners" after seizing a plant. He would not be allowed to change workers' wages. The Maybank Bill was the first move in Congress to resolve the dispute between Philip Murray's CIO steelworkers union and the steel industry. President Truman seized the Industry to prevent a strike on April 8, but last Monday the Supreme Court ruled the seizure unconstitutional.

The union promptly went out on strike. NOT SENT TO COMMITTEE Maybank told the Senate his Banking Committee, which recommended extending wage-price controls until March 1, had not yet seen his amendment. The controls expire June SO unless extended by Congress. Senator Capehart (JL, Ind.) demanded that Maybank send the Continued Page 9, CoL 1 vSo They Say GOV.

KNOW-LAND: "The grave problems confronting us, domestic and foreign, cannot be satisfactorily solved under the Truman Administration. It has lost the confidence of the Nation. They have stayed too long in power." SEN.

Senator i Knowland popular vote margin for re-election to the U.S Senate neared 1,500,000. The results were a double blow to Truman Democrats. Senator Kefauver bested a slate of veteran organization Democrats who got behind Atty Gen. kdmund u. Brown as a favorite son after President Truman refused to run.

TRUMANITE SWAMPED Senator Knowland, a leading Republican critic of the Truman Administration's foreign policies, swamped a staunch Truman supporter. Congressman Clinton D. McKinnon. The treno was i established early in counting last night and margins appeared to be widening as tabulations continued today. Leads of better than two to one gave Lrovernor warren cautor-nia's 70 GOP convention votes and Senator Kefauver the state's 68 Democratic delegates.

California's Governor now has 76 pledged GOP delegates and Senator Kefauver boosted his Democratic convention total to more than 250, compared with his nearest competitor, Averell Harriman, of New York, who has 95 votes, GREAT POPULAR LEAD Senator Knowland rolled up a popular lead in excess of 1,000, 000 early today. His edge over Congressman McKinnon on the Democratic ballot soared above 300,000 and he was running ap proximately 1,140,000 ahead of his own Republican ticket The Warren sweep, Kefauver's upsetting of the recognized Democratic party organization in California and Senator Know-land's trouncing of his Democratic opposition reflected in congressional and legislative fights. Returns were still fragmentary but in most races GOP contenders appeared to hold the advantage. Strengthened Republican control of both houses of the Legislature seemed virtually certain. EARLY VICTORY The count was so conclusive in the senatorial race that the die was cast within three hours after the polls closed, although McKinnon did not concede until early today.

I Senator Knowland swept the entire state, with the exception of McKinnon's home county of San Diego, on the Democratic ballot. In some cases his edge was as great as three to National attention was focused on the result because it was the first time a VS. senator has captured both major party nominations at the primary since the second term of the Sen. Hiram Johnson. At that time, the state was predominantly Republican, while at present.

Democrats hold a registration advantage of more than 1,000,000 votes. ISSUES STATEMENT Governor Warren won in all counties except Orange, and is sued a victory statement shortly after midnight. Congressman Thomas H. Wer del, of Bakersfield, head of the roundly defeated anti Warren GOP ticket refused to concede for several hours.

S.D June 4 WV A handful or votes may tip the balance today in South Dakota's slam-bang presidential primary battle between Sen. Robert A- Taft and Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. As counting pf yesterday's rec ord Republican balloting re sumed, Taft clung to a slender, narrowing lead in a contest for 14 nominating delegates and the prestige of a victory in the final ballot box test before the Chicago convention.

The count from 1868 of the state's 1947 precincts, was: Taft, 64,125. Eisenhower, 63,482. SLENDER MAKlilN With an estimated 15,000 votes yet to be tabulated, the. winner's margin seemed likely to be only a few hundred at most. There was some talk on possible recount, which could delay final selection of the state's delegation.

Neither side wanted to commit itself on that point, however, until the unofficial tabulation was completed. Some of the 79 precincts yet unreported lay in the far western area of the state, where -Eisenhower was proving himself strong in the cities ahd towns but Taft was running ahead in the country districts. The 14 delegates involved would not change the relative standing -of the two major candidates appreciably. Taft had 420 delegates and Eisenhower 387 on the Associated Press tabulation, hot counting South Dakota's. CLOSEST PRIMARY As the race neared it end here Taft was getting 50 JO per cent of the vote, Eisenhower 49.70 per cent narrowest margin in any presidential primary this year.

Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee took the state's eight Democratic delegates in stride. He defeated an uninstructed slate which had planned to vote on the first ballot at Chicago for Sen. Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota, although Humphrey said he wasn't running against his friend Kefauver here. This and victories elsewhere lifted Kefauver into a long lead in the Democratic delegate race.

The Associated Press tabulation gave him 244 votes against 86 credited to his nearest rival. Sen. Richard Russell of Georgia. French Kill 120 Reds HANOI, Indochina, June 4.
