Robert Taft of Ohio getting 50.35 per cent and Eisenhower 49.65 per cent. Votes were: Taft 61,579, Eisenhower 60,734. The total Republican vote there is expected to break a 1932 record of 128,000. The South Dakota skirmish was for 14 Republican and eight Demo- cratic presidential - nominating votes. GOP nomination» requires 604 and 14 seemed mighty few to “be causing such a natiorwide hooplah. ; The reasons were psycholossical: South Dakota was the last head-on | elash of Taft and Eisenhower, top- runners for the GOP nomination, before the July 7 National Conven- | tion. The winner would get not only 14 votes but a springboard battles. Even as primary ballots were being marked Tuesday in South Dakota—and California and Ala- bama as well—Eisenhower made the transition from 5-star general to private citizen.

Then, Oka related, Brecher stood over her crumpled body and emp- | tied the weapon. Three more bul- | lets entered her body and two went wild, niaking holes in the court- room floor. Oka had just granted a peace | bond to keep Brecher from bother- |ing his former wife and child, | Susan Roberta, 3. The justice of the peace said: _ “Brecher reached in a pocket and pulled out this gun, put the into the crucial convention floor | revolver six or eight inches from her head and fired the first shot. Rhee Softens Tron-Fisted Policy Today PUSAN, Korea (# — Britain to- day joined the United States in protesting to President Syngman Rhee over recent political develop- ments in this temporary South Ko- rean capital. Alec Adams, charge d‘affaires, orally outlined the British position to Rhee, then handed the aging leader a written statement. He j told correspondents the statement j backed up the policies of the U.S. State Department given Rhee in a note Tuesday. The American embassy also handed Rhee a note from Presi- dent Truman which called recent political developments in Pusan shocking. Informed sources said the British and U. S. notes expressed the same views on the South Korean political crisis as the United Nations Com- mission for the Unification and Re- habilitation of Korea. The com- mission recently asked Rhee to lift martial law in Pusan and release As she fell, he pumped four or five more into her body. “I thought he was firing blanks to make a show. I was petrified.

Taciturn Russian guards let an eastbound American military po- lice jeep travel the 110-mile road from Western Germany to Berlin after a 10-day ban, but turned back both American and British jeeps which tried to make the trip from Berlin to the West. American officials, recalling a previous 7-day blockade on the pa trols which started without warn ing May 8, declined to speculate | whether it was really off again They planned to test the blockade again tonight. The patrols assist any Allied vehicles which may have breakdowns on the autobahn Meanwhile Communist defenders of beleaguered Radio Berlin in the British sector cried defidnace at their besiegers. The score of Russian tommy gunners inside the building weren't talking but their German Commu nist colleagues on the radio staff jibed at the British over the air | and over the telephone. ‘The British slapped their barbed wire blockade around the big red brick building in the British sector at dawn Tuesday.

A government Public Informa- tion Office announcement said Rhee would not dissolve the Na- tional Assembly now. Earlier he was, reported on the verge of dis- banding it. Also at Rhee’s order, military authorities released a newspaper editor who had been arrested after criticizing the government. Martial law authorities were ordered not to arrest any more assemblymen not directly involved in what Rhee has called a “Com- munist plot” against his adminis- tration.

BO SAYS By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (#—Henny Young- man is known along Broadway as comedians laugh at him. This is rare, indeed, as most comedians regard each other in terms of larceny rather than laugh- | ter.

As he left, he was still mut tering rapid-fire patter: Henny, now 46, is one of the nation’s top night club entertain- | ers. Some connoisseurs of the in- |dustry say he is the equal of Groucho Marx, Fred Allen. Bob Hope or Milton Berle. He is often a guest star on other shows, but has never had a national televi- sion show of his own. | “After 20 years of knocking around the country, I’d like to have my own show,” he said. “If uled for retirement and Dr. J. W. | I don’t, I guess the only way I'll get rich is through my feet.” He explained he had cance! tive toes.” And his theory of gain- ing wealth through them is “to | walk barefoot through Canada un- til I hit a uranium mine.” Comedians stuck for a sure-fire fast line or a quip often come to Youngman for help. And he al- ways has one handy—or makes up one on the spot. He is a walking file case of thousands of jokes, old, middle-aged, and new ones ready to be born. “I need a lot,” he said. “For a 6-minute show I have to have 40 good jokes.” ‘The curse of Henny, whose habi- tat is Times Square and who lopes around it like a polar bear in a brown coat, is that he gives away jokes as fast as he can think them up. “Just a minute,” he says, stop- ping a friend, and begins throwing a jest a second. All free. Ad libbing is so natural with him he can’t quit. Naturally he likes to get paid. But he has been known to waste $10,000 worth of fresh material ad libbing while at liberty with a few cronies around a restaurant table. One of the things Henny does a weekly gag to a circle of bud- dies across America. “Anything to get a lugh, and let people know you're alive,” he said. One week he mailed out dollar bills with a sign saying, “hold on to this green piece of paper. It may be worth a dollar someday.” From Miami Beach he dis- patched perfume bottles full of sand bearing the label: “This cost me $30 a day to sit on. Thought you might like some.” From the Thunderbird Hotel in Las Vegas he mailed pairs of 4-inch-square dice “for near-sighted crapshoot- paisag To be a “professional comic to- day, Henny says, you have “to have nerve and gall, a great mem- ory, and the ability to take stock jokes and give them a twist that makes them sound alive.
