UTT (Must Run Again) Abilene Welcomes Favorite Son Ike Home for Political Wars ABILENE, Kas. (AP) — Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower arrived in Abilene by special train today for a two-day round of ceremonies welcoming him back to his boyhood home. A heavy overcast, and occasional light sprinkles, threatened a typical Kansas rainstorm. The train stopped directly behind the old Eisenhower home. In an open field adjoining the backyard of the house, ground had been broken for an Eisenhower museum. The general was scheduled to lay the cornerstone of the building, using a silver trowel in the first part of the homecoming program. People massed solidly in their porary bleachers outside his hotel clustered around the railroad tracks and lined the streets. LA Voters Say 'No' to Public Housing Project LOS ANGELES, (P) — Voters have disapproved a $110,000,000 federally subsidized public housing program which has been a hot controversy in Los Angeles for months. Returns from 2269 of 3628 precincts in yesterday's referendum show a "no" vote of 201,496 to 145,061 yes" on the housing proposition. However, the fate of the 10,000-unit program is still considerably up in the air. A contract between the city council and the city housing authority was entered into in 1949 for the program and federal support was obtained. But last December the city council by an 8-7 vote rescinded the agreement. Thereafter the housing authority went to court and the state Supreme Court ruled that the city is obligated to carry out the contract and proceed with the project. Anti-housing forces claim that yesterday's vote was a clear mandate to Mayor Fletcher Bowron, who favors the project, and the council to cancel the whole deal. But the proponents say the referendum can have no effect in view of the Supreme Court ruling that the project should proceed. Taft and Ike Neck and Neck In S. Dakota SIOUX FALLS, S.D., June 4.—(P) —Sen. Robert A. Taft and Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower battled on almost even terms today as counting resumed in South Dakota's stand-off Republican presidential primary. With indications that a few hundred votes might decide the final winner, the count from 1703 of the state's 1947 precincts in a contest for 14 Chicago convention nominating votes was: Taft—61,579. Eisenhower—60,734. With 244 precincts missing, Taft was getting 50.35 per cent of the vote and Eisenhower 49.65 per cent. The GOP total was expected to exceed the 1932 primary record of 128,000. Almost unnoticed, Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee picked up the state's eight Democratic nominating delegates. He rode easily over an opposing uninstructed slate by a two to one margin. The Taft-Eisenhower battle last ballot-box meeting of the leading GOP aspirants before the July convention in Chicago, developed strictly into a town vs. country contest. Eisenhower carried nearly every city and large town in the state. Taft rolled up his margin in the farm areas.

Collins of Fullerton; Ju Shea of Anaheim Justice court who snowed und Verry of Fullerton to cinch the Anaheim - Fullerton Municipal court seat; and Ralph J. McFadden of Placentia, Incumbent Third district supervisor, who bested Edward Faulkner, West Orange county rancher, to retain his position. LeRoy Lyon Jr. of Fullerton, showing surprising political strength in his first try for public SAN FRANCISCO (UP)—California voters gave the state's 68 Democratic convention votes to Sen. Estes Kefauver and re-elected Sen. William F. Knowland in a double slap at the Truman administration in Tuesday's primary. Both ran up sweeping victories as did Gov. Earl Warren in his bid for the Republican presidential nomination. Warren won California's 70 Republican convention votes by a 2½ to one margin from a slate nominally headed by Rep. Thomas H. Werdel. Kefauver defeated a slate originally drawn to support President Truman at the Democratic convention. After his withdrawal Atty. Gen. Edmund G. Brown stepped in as the nominal head of the ticket. Knowland has been a vigorous opponent of both Truman's domestic and foreign policies. He captured both party nominations under California's cross-filing system. This is tantamount to re-election in November. On the Democratic ticket Knowland was better than three to two ahead of Democratic Congressman Clinton D. McKinnon of San Diego. Republican returns from 16,286 of 19,730 precincts gave; Warren 823,140; Werdel 402,322. Democratic returns from 16,281 precincts gave: Kefauver 914,262; Brown 383,495. For senator: Republican, 16,057 of 19,730 precincts: Knowland 1,015,353; McKinnon 466,730. BOTH THE KEFAUVER and Knowland victories were interpreted as rebuffs for the California Democratic party leaders who have backed Truman. Knowland, an outspoken foe of Truman's foreign and fair deal policies, was originally appointed by Warren in 1945 to succeed the late Sen. Hiram Johnson. Few others of the California Congressional delegation showed clear indications that they would follow Knowland's lead with election in the primary. Shea of Anaheim Justice court who snowed unde Verry of Fullerton to cinch the Anaheim - Fullerton Municipal court seat; and Ralph J. McFadden of Placentia, Incumbent Third district supervisor, who bested Edward Faulkner, West Orange county rancher, to retain his position. LeRoy Lyon Jr. of Fullerton, showing surprising political strength in his first try for public office, ran off with both the Republican and Democratic nominations to the State Assembly, 75th district, easily beating his nearest rival, Glen McCloud of Anaheim. Murdy, supported by a militant campaign committee, won over the politically older, much more experienced Collins by a ticklish margin of 21,872 to 19,425 in the Republican primary and by 14,825 to 14,263 in the Democratic primary. The 1500 absentee ballots yet to be counted are not expected to change the result, close as it was. Justice John Shea of Anaheim won a resounding victory in the contest for Judge of Anaheim-Fullerton Municipal Court, yesterday's primary vote giving him a 4060 majority over his opponent, Justice Lloyd Verry of Fullerton. The count was Shea 13,625, Verry 9618. Anaheim city railed strongly behind its local candidate, giving him a majority of 4 to 1. Shea received 3947 votes here, to 1001 for Verry. Verry carried his home community, Fullerton, but by a far less margin than Shea carried Anaheim. Shea also scored heavily in Garden Grove and took Buena Park and Cypress. Verry was strong in Placentia. The rest of the district was pretty evenly divided. Lyon carried a majority over three opponents and a clear plurality of 5744 over McCloud in the Republican primary. He also led McCloud by 2906 in the Democratic primary. The complete Republican vote was Lyon 9488, McCloud 3744, Frank Rospaw of Placentia 1867 and Richard White of Westminster 1167. The Democratic vote was Lyon 6344, McCloud 3439. AS CITY, Kas.—"THIS WAY, MR. EISENHOWER" sorting a snappy civilian hat, General Eisenhower is through the crowd at the Fairfax Airport here tonight giving his arrival by Gov. Dan Thornton, of Colorado. (Wirephoto) Knowland, an outspoken foe of Truman's foreign and fair deal policies, was originally appointed by Warren in 1945 to succeed the late Sen. Hiram Johnson. Few others of the California Congressional delegation showed clear indications that they would follow Knowland's lead with election in the primary. Incomplete returns showed eight Republican and five Democratic incumbents won sure victory in the primary. Three Republican incumbents and two Democrats were rehominated but face competition in November. Lyon carried a majority over three opponents and a clear plurality of 5744 over McCloud in the Republican primary. He also led McCloud by 2906 in the Democratic primary. The complete Republican vote was Lyon 9488, McCloud 3744, Frank Rospaw of Placentia 1867 and Richard White of Westminster 1167. The Democratic vote was Lyon 6344, McCloud 3439, Rospaw 1219, White 3115. Lyon's support was evenly spread throughout the district. While losing scattered precincts he carried every community. The new assemblyman, who will succeed to the seat vacated by Speaker Sam L. Collins, is a naval reserve officer, who will be released November 1 after a two-year tour of duty. He is a World War II veteran. Supervisor Ralph J. McFadden of Placentia stood off the campaign of Edward Faulkner, West Anaheim farmer-businessman, and won re-election at yesterday's primary by a wide margin, 13,433 to 7359. His majority was 6074, nearly 2 to 1. One Fullerton precinct is missing from the count. The Anaheim vote on this contest, only one in the county involving the Board of Supervisors, was 2955 for McFadden, 1852 for Faulkner. McFadden carried all but a handful of precincts in the district as he was returned to office for his second term, after a heated campaign. James B. Utt, Republican of Santa Ana carried both party nominations for Congress, in the 28th district, so far as Orange county was concerned, but Democrat Lionel Van Deerlin of Poway in the Democratic primary carried (Continued on Page 8) CALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARY Weather S.

(AP Wirephoto) JOHN SHEA (Wins Race) LE ROY LYON (Assembly Winner) American MP Shot By East German Border Guards BERLIN (UP) — An American military policeman was shot and wounded by an East German police border guard on the outskirts of Berlin today. Maj. Gen. Lemuel Mathewson, U.S. commander in Berlin, immediately denounced the shooting as a "barbaric and undisciplined violence by police under Soviet control." He demanded the Russians "severely punish the offender." A bullet pierced the military police jeep and wounded the driver in the leg. The engine also was damaged. The shooting occurred "without warning or provocation," while the Army vehicle was on routine official patrol on Machnower Strasse near the U.S. sector-Soviet zone boundary, General Mathewson said. Senate Debates Strike Control Legislation WASHINGTON (UP)—The Senate jumped into hot debate today on a bill that would (a) forbid Koje POW Pens Raided by Tank Led US Troops KOJE ISLAND, Korea (UP) — owen and tanks today raided three communist prisoner of war pens and brought out defiant leaders amid indications authorities were cutting food rations in two of the island's toughest compounds. After the guards knocked down flag poles and burned Russian, Chinese red and North Korean flags, correspondents learned that bags of sand instead of food were delivered at Compounds 85 and 96. Authorities on this big island prison refused to comment immediately on this development. However, correspondents have heard rumors the past two days that the defiant prisoners in 85 and 96 had been given reduced rations to bring them into line. This method of discipline is allowed under the Geneva convention for treatment of prisoners. Not a shot was fired when the tanks and troops moved into the three compounds, although the red prisoners inside boasted they would "fight to the death." RALPH J. McFADDEN (Retained) PUC Hears Gas Co. Incomes Testimony LOS ANGELES (AP)—The California Public Utilities commission today heard testimony that the Southern California Gas company earned enough during 1950 and 1951 to meet all expenses and pay a 9½ per cent dividend. T. C. Stein, the commission's principal accountant, gave the figures in the hearing on the gas company's application for a general rate increase of $16,600,000 a year. An interim increase of roughly 5 million dollars a year has been granted pending the commission's final ruling. YOUNGSTER INJURED Larry Raymond Fellows, 13, of 12902 Magnolia, Garden Grove, suffered a broken collarbone this morning in City park. Playing a base position in a ball game, Fellows reached to tag out a runner, fell and broke the bone. He was treated at Johnston-Gendel clinic. Senate Debates Strike Control Legislation WASHINGTON (AP)—The Senate jumped into hot debate today on a bill that would (a) forbid strikes in critical industries for 120 days, (b) set up a board to recommend settlement terms, and (c) allow the president to seize the industry if the terms were not accepted. The measure was offered by Sen. Maybank (D-SC), chairman of the Senate Banking committee as an amendment to the expiring economic controls law. Thus, Congress and the White House started moving almost simultaneously on plans for settling the two-day-old strike of CIO steelworkers. The walkout started Monday after the Supreme Court struck down President Truman's order seizing the steel mills. John R. Steelman, acting mobilization chief, summoned industry and union leaders to a meeting in Washington tomorrow in an effort to bring about a settlement. Union and management promptly accepted the call.

Labor, Industry, Public Members Remain on WSB WASHINGTON (AP)—The Senate voted today to keep labor, industry and public members on the Wage Stabilization Board. The vote would make members subject to Senate confirmation, however, and would restrict their powers to act in wage disputes. An amendment to this effect, offered by Sen. Ives (R-NY), was added to the economic controls bill by a 42 to 41 vote, with Vice President Barkley casting his vote to break a 41-41 tie. The Ives amendment does not specify how many members the WSB should have. It empowers the board to attempt settlement of labor disputes: 1. If the mediation service certifies that all its remedies have been exhausted and if the parties themselves request the board to mediate or arbitrate the dispute. 2. If the president sends the dispute to the board, but only then if the two parties agree to have the dispute submitted.
