Both Factions
Satisfied With New
England Election
WASHIN GTON, (/P) — New
York’s Gov. Thomas E. Dewey
showed today he still packs a po
tential political punch by captur
ing six of eight Presidential dele
gate votes in New Hampshire
But by taking the remaining
two in yesterday’s first 1498 pri
mary, former governor Harold E.
Stassen of Minnesota kept himself
in the thick of the race for the Re
publican nomination.
Politicians thus regarded the
New England result as pretty
much of a standoff. They turned
their eyes westward for the next
battle—Wisconsin’s April 6 pri
mary.
There Dewey and Stassen take
on Gen. Douglas MacArthur. who
will be testing for the first time
his appeal as a positive candidate.
'The New Hampshire race long
had been billed by Dewey sup
porters as an indicator of the New
Yorker’s strength in New England.
Gov. Charles M. Dale, one of
the six Dewey-pledged delegates
elected, labeled the outcome a
“flattering tribute” to the gover
nor.
Stassen’s supporters on the
other hand insisted they were well
satisfied with collecting two Phila
delphia convention ballots in an
area where the middlewesterner
was little known in 1944, when
Dewey won the party nomination.
One result of the New England
primary was to serve notice on
Senator Robert A. Taft that Stns
sen is to be reckoned with in the
May 4 primary in the Ohio Sena
tor’s home state.
Mr. and Mrs. Joe Wallace are
reported in Washington, D. C.,
where they visited the office of
Delegate Bartlett and the Eastern
Star Temple among other interest
ing places.

McGrath Blasts At
Henry Wallace
PHILADELPHIA, (/P>—J. How
ard McGrath, Democratic national
committee chairman, last night
turned his party’s back on Henry
Wallace.
Carroll Reece, Republican na
tional committee chairman, speak
ing with McGrath at the Philadel
phia Bulletin forum, said that the
‘‘Republican party is a united
party. It has no Moscow wing.”
Predicting that "a united Demo
cratic pur'y” would win the No
vember general election. McGrath
sharply criticized what he termed
“the impractical liberalism’’ of
Wallace.
“A Henry Wallace can condemn
the bi-partisan policy and offer
nothing more than abject appease-i
ment to the forces of godless com
munism,” McGrath said.
“No party bearing the real re
sponsibility of government can
flout the national conscience so
glibly, can excuse a foreign power
so meekly, can abuse it so com-!
pletely before an alien ideology.”,
11 Enlisted Men, j
Army Guinea Pigs

"shipwrecked” themselves in a
hospital to test a new army sur
vival diet are longing for mother’s,
cooking.
Their diet of biscuits and water
“taste like steak” when you get
hungry enough, one said today.
But another, pounding a biscuit
with a fist to soften it a little, said
“we’ll have an emergency right
here pretty soon.”
The 11 began their six-week
trial diet Monday. Their biscuits,
which look like ordinary tea cook
ies, contain a mixture of carbohy
drate, fat and protein. The day’s
allowance, served four times, con
tains 900 calories. In addition each
receives three glasses of water and
a vitamin pill daily.

Marsh Surprised at
Bribery Charge
WALLA WALLA, (JP)—A for
mer state Official and his legal
client were charged in superior
court today with conspiring to
bribe two Walla Walla county law
enforcement officers.
The two accused men are Shir
ley Marsh of Kelso, former assist
ant state attorney general, and
Roy Houghton of Bremerton.
They were arrested yesterday by
Walla Walla county sheriff A. A.
Shick.
One of the two counts filed by
prosecuting attorney Albert N.
Bradford accused the men of con
spiring to bribe Bradford into not
enforcing the gambling laws of
the state with respect to operation
of various gambling games and
devices. The second count is the
same, but has Shick as the one to
have been bribed.
The complaint said the games
were to be located in a proposed
^ambling club within the limits of
Walla Walla county.
Marsh, who has been engaged in
private legal practice 7 at Kelso
since leaving the attorney gener
al’s office in September, was re
leased at Olympia on his own
recognizance. He said he was
“dumbfounded” at the charge
which he said he at first “thought
was entirely a gag.”
No Quick Divorce*
In Alabama
MONTGOMERY, Ala. </}>)—The
Alabama Supreme Court has
turned thumbs down on the slate’s
“quickie” divorce law.
In a ruling the court held un
constitutional an act of the ID-15 '
legislature which said that no pe
riod of residence was required it
both the husband and wife in a
divorce suit were within the t ial
court’s jurisdiction.
The ruling came in upholding
the refusal of a north Alabama
judge to grant a divorce to a
South Carolina couple.
When the “quickie” law was
passed, some persons speculated
th *t Alabama might challenge
