Taft Predicis Lead Over Dewey at Convention Time Managers Estimate Senator Will Have 300 to 370 Votes By the Associated Press. Despite Thomas E. Dewey’s lead in primary-picked delegates, Sena- tor Taft of Ohio said today he ex= pected to enter the Republican Na- tional Convention with more votes than the New York district attor- ney. Senator Taft did not mention a specific figure in talking to report- ers, but his managers have esti- mated he would have between 300 and 370 of the 1,000 delegates when the convention opens. | His strength will be largely in un- | instructed Southern groups, 52 from | the forthcoming Ohio primary, and | an expected block from some of Ohio’s neighboring States. | The selection of Pennsylvania Re- publican and Democratic delegations with 72 votes did not formally af-| fect the political picture, for the two groups were not pledged. President’s Lead Raised. The Republicans have picked 411 | of their 1,000 delegates, the Demo- | crats 328 of their 1,094. Six more Re- publican delegates were to be se- lected today at a Delaware conven- | tion. President Roosevelt's lead in dele- | gate strength, including those | pledged and claimed for him as a| result of unbinding primaries, was raised to 275 as a result of the Pennsylvania voting. The Chief| Executive was unopposed in the| Democratic preference balloting. | Even though the 72 delegates elected were not bound by that vote. they are regarded by New Dealers as the | President’s for the asking. | Pennsylvania’s Republican con- vention votes may go to Gov. James on the first ballot, party leaders here said. No candidate had en- tered the preferential primary. Of the Republican delegates chosen so far.

Tax Exemption Case Goes Today To Supreme Court Seal Seeks Petition For Review in Ruling On Sweeney Victory A petition for a review of the decision by the Court of Appeals in the Sweeney case, which munic- ipal officials fear may lead to ex- emption of thousands of Federal workers from the District income taxes, was to be filed today with the Supreme Court by Corporation Counsel Elwood H. Seal. While the case won by James J. Sweeney in the appellate court con- cerned the District’s former in- tangible personal property tax, the Commissioners promptly authorized Mr. Seal to apply to the high court because of the broad terms used in deciding that Mr. Sweeney was not domiciled here although he had worked here for 20 years. Weeks of Preparation. Preparation of the facts and argu- ments in the case has been under way in recent weeks and the petition for a writ of certiorari was expected to be printed by noon today. Meanwhile, Tax 'Assessor Edward | A. Dent predicted the total anticipat- ed revenue would go above $3,000,000 | Last - summer other officials had estimated $3,200,000.

CHUNGKING, April 24—The Chinese Central News Agency re- ported today that Kaifeng, Honan Province. had been wrested from the Japanese—the first provincial capi- tal to revert to Chinese hands since the Chinese-Japanese war began July 17, 1937, Chinese military circles here, how- ever, said they had no confirmation of this report. The agency operates under the central Chinese govern- ment at Chungking. Chinese military reports earlier had told of an assault on Kaifeng in which the Chinese attackers smashed through the north and south gates, wiped out a Japanese detachment defending one gate and fired Japanese barracks and supply depots. These earlier advices, however, | did not say specifically that Kaifeng had changed hands. Central News declared the Chinese were in full | occupation of the city yesterday. Chinese forces first cut the Lung- hai railway which runs through Kai- feng—apparently to shut off rein- forcements for the Kaifeng Japanese | garrison—and then stormed the city | from four directions according to Central News, The agency said the Chinese had 80 miles | south of Kaifeng. | Chinese Claim Kiangsi | Counter-Thrusts Repulsed | HONGKONG, April 24 (#).—From | Kiangsi province, one of China's| far-flung battlegrounds. came Chi-| nese advices today that three Jap- | anese columns were countering in a “desperate attempt to check the| steady Chinese advance toward | | Nanchang " the provincial capital and one of China’s key cities.

The Air Ministry communique said: “The air ministry announces a further series of offensive opera- tions was carried out by R. A. F. bomber aircraft last night against air bases available to the enemy for‘ use in the invasion of Norway. | “Westernland Airdrome on the | island of Sylt was heavily and suc- cessfully attacked. Bombs were | dropped on hangars and runways. | Several fires were started and a large explosion occurred. “North of Sylt a number of enemy patrol vessels were encountered. ‘These opened heavy anti-aircraft fire on our planes. They were im- | mediately attacked and two were | sunk. “Attacks were made also on enemy air bases at Aalborg, Kris- tiansand, Oslo and Stavanger and offensive reconnaissance was carried | out over Trondheim Fjord. “Detailed accounts have not yet been received, but preliminary re- ports indicate that these operations were also highly successful.” Uneasy Over Next Move. With fighting between the allied forces and the Germans under way in at least three sectors of the Norwegian front—Narvik, Trond- heim and Hamar—uneasiness grew in London over Germany next strategic move. The possibility of operations in Sweden was discussed. The critical attitude of the Ger- man press and radio toward Sweden and reports of troop movements on Germany's Baltic Coast aroused speculation. Swedish frontier reports indicated that the British and Norwegian troops were driving effectively to- ward Hamar, Oslo, and the War Office’s mention of a “sharp engagement” north of Trondheim fitted in with frontier reports of close-quarter fighting at Steinkjer, a small town on the Trondheim Fjord. German destroyers sheltered in| Trondheim Fjord were reported shelling the allied flanks, while Ger- man warplanes attempted to bomb and machine-gun allied troop con- centrations Warfare on Britain's shores took a further toll of shipping. The Brit- ish steamer Lolworth sank off the southeast coast yesterday when it struck a mine. Another vessel was reported mined in the same area but a coastal lifeboat crew found no traces of wreckage. The latest sink- ing followed the appearance of Ger- man warplanes over the Thames and Humber estuaries Mondav night, apparently in an attempt to lay mines. Allies Seen Alert in Balkans. Diplomatic observers trying to read between the lines of the allied War Council’s communique saw in- dications that allied strategists also were alert regarding the tense situ- ation in the Balkans. Some believed that the cautiously worded state- ment contained a warning to Italy to refrain from joining Germany in the war.

The Prime Minister made no war statement.

C. M. Smith, Winchester Civic Leader, Dies By the Associated Press. WINCHESTER, Va., April 24— Clark M Smith, 65, clerk of Win- chester's Corporation Court and a leader in civic affairs, died yesterday in Union Memorial Hospital at Bal- timore. He was taken ill while on a fishing trip with friends off Norfolk and re- cently underwent an operation. Mr. Smith, a Republican, was elected clerk in this strongly Deme- cratic community and had held the office for some years. He also was & member of the Chamber of Com- merce, of Memorial Hospital here and of the Commercial Savings Bank. He had served as president of the Winchester Kiwanis Club and as a member of the council of Grace Lu- theran Church. His successor, who will be ap- pointed by Judge Philip Williams, will have about seven years of the | eight-year term to serve. Funeral services will be held to- morrow.

A communique issued last night by Norwegian military headquarters said that the German attempts to force an entrance to the Gudbrands- | dal and Osterdal Valleys were sup- ported by artillery, tanks and air- craft. The Norwegians insisted that they held command of the railway from Andalsnes to Lillehammer, a dis- tance of some 135 miles, and said their defenses at the latter place had been strengthened by mountain artillery. “The Norwegians are being equipped with arms by the allied powers.” the communique said. South of Lillehammer the Ger- mans were reported in control of the area surrounding Lake Mjosen, in- cluding the towns of Hamar and Gjovik, approximately 60 miles from Oslo, and Raufoss, important as the site of an ammunition factory. | West of Lake Mjosen, the Nor- wegian communique said, the Ger-' mans were beaten back with the loss of 100 prisoners in an attempt | | to advance up the Valdres River Val- | ley. | Narvik Nazis Holding Out. | The German garrison at Narvik.| | on Norway’s northwestern coast, was | | reported still holding out, although surrounded on land and sea. | German versions of the situation | there said their position was im- pregnable, that they had mined the | harbor and quays and that attack! from sea was out of the question. A first-hand account of the Ger- | man occupation of the town was given by Patrick P. King, an Ameri- can sailor, who succeeded in making | his way from the port to the Swedish border. In® an interview published in a Swedish newspaper, King was quoted as saying that the Germans had arrested the British consul and his assistant when they first landed and that the former had been shot | when he offered resistance. Most of the women and children have been removed from the town, King said, adding that both the| Germans and the British -ppnrent]y; had attempted to avoid injury to| civilians in the struggle for Pposses- | sion.

Second lieutenants would become first lieutenants after three years’ service. Thereafter, the automatic promotion scale on total years of service as commissioned officers would be: 10 years, captain; 17 years, major; 23 years, lieutenant colonel; | 28 years, colonel. A maximum of 705 colonels would be fixed. Promotions above lieutenant now are limited to the filling of vacan- cies. The new bill would increase the number of majors, lieutenant colonels and colonels by 1350, but proponents said that substantial savings eventually would result. With the exception of general of- ficers and 5 per cent of the colonels, all officers would be retiired at 60 years of age instead of at 64, the present limit.

Norse Bus Drivers Plunge Over Cliff With Nazi Troops By the Associated Pre:s. STOCKHOLM, April 24— Three Norwegian bus drivers, pressed into service to transport German troops, were reported today to have driven their vehicles headlong over a cliff, killing themselves and most of their 180 Nazi passengers. The story was told by Reidar Haanes, sports writer for a Nor- wegian newspaper, on his ar- rival here. Un-American (Continued From First Page.) munistic A. C. A. members who had gone into the Government serv- ice, Howe said that Walter Adams had gone into a Government airways | station in Kentucky and Thomas C. Ault, whom he called “a well known Communist,” had gone into the Federal airway service at Camden, N. J, and later Baltimore, The wieness said that Ault had been arrested at one time in Ecua- dor for .distributing subversive lit- erature. He testified that Ben Rosset, whom he called a Communist, was now working on a Government- | owned ship, the Mormack Gull. Rosset, he said, had been arrested | at Lisbon, Portugal, for distributing Communist literature. The A. C. A. Communist unit, he continued, had succeeded in placing party operators on the Manhattan and Washington, big passenger ves- | | sels of the United States Lines. A Communist had been an operator for a time on the President Roose- velt, he continued. but was not now. Howe called out a long list of Al C. A. local officials who he said were | Communists. Names and identifi- cations as he gave them included: Paul Rothman, Baltimore, secretary of Local 4; T. J. Vanermen, Seattle, Local 6; Leonard Anderson, Cleve- land, secretary of Local 20. The witness said that Communists controlled A. C. A. “99 per cent.” He also testified that officials of Postal Telegraph frequently used another telegraph servcie because {of fear that Communists in their own organization would delay mes- sages or disclose their contents. Tells of “Slow-Down Strike.” Howe asserted that Mackay radio | operators, who he said were the best in the world, conducted a *“slow- down strike" several weeks ago in order to help gain demands the A. C. A. made upon the company. Operators capable of sending and Teceiving 40 or 45 words a minute, he said, complained about the speed of transmission when the speed was about 10 words a minute, or said, “We can't hear you.” In some in- stances two hours were required to transmit a message that ordinarily would require only two minutes, he added. _Radio service companies usually give ship radio operators a “frank" Which they use to send their own | messages, Howe said. Through fake | call letters these operators may communicate, for example, with Moscow, he continued. The Federal Communications Commission requires copies .of all messages to be filed. but Howe said that the requirement was ignored in many instances. Many coastal :mtlons are so busy that they jot owht fiotésin their “logs F 15 minutes. o o Representative Dempsey, Demo- Tat, of New Mexico, brought out that the F. C.

Special Sprino-Summer Rates could stop shipments to the allies if the Communist party in Russia decreed such a course. On the East Coast, Howe replied, the Communists could stop such shipments on American vessels but not on foreign flagships. On the| West Coast, he continued, they | could do it “almost 100 per cent” because “Harry Bridges controls the longshoremen as well.” At that point Representative | Dempsey explained that the Neu- | trality Act already forebade ship- | ment of munitions or any other| cargo to belligerents in American | vessels. Howe said there were 150 or more “good Communist” operating radios on American ships. In response to & question by Mr. Dies, he said there i was no reason why they couldn’t,| | in war-time, reveal positions of con- voys and battleships. No Moscow Messages. | He expressed belief that Earl| Browder, Communist party leader in | this country, received instructions {from Moscow through Communist operators on American ships. Mr. Dies said there were no ca- blegrams of record from Moscow to | the Daily Worker, Communist pub- | lication, instructing it what line to | take regarding the Russo-German pact. Howe said it would have been easy for Moscow to have sent word through an operator on a ship a short distance out of an American | port. Asked by Mr. Dempsey how that could be done without the message being intercepted. Howe said a false call—passibly Chinese—and a secret code could be used. Earlier Chairman Dies called on the C. I. O. today to “clean house” by expelling any Communist mem- bers. Representative Dies declared that John L. Lewis' organization owed a duty to the country “to quit side- stepping and ducking this issue.” Funeral Tomorrow For Elphonzo Youngs | Elphonzo Youngs, 38, of 2701 Four- | | teenth street N.W. died suddenly | Monday at his home.
