Times Special Writer CHICAGO, June 10.—The corridor of states from the Alleghenies to the Rockies has become the battleground for the Republican Presidential nomination. From West Virginia to Colorado, partisans of Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio and Dist. Atty. Thomas E. Dewey of
New York are struggling fo
r the upper hand in an area
which will send some 350 delegates—more than a third of
the total—to the Philadelphia

interest in politics and shaken the confidence of many Republican leaders, but it has not slowed the pace of the ‘two leading competitors for the party’s top honor. Fewer than half of the delegates from 13 states spreading in four directions from Chicago are definitely committed, and upward of 100, pledged to “favorite son” candidacies, will be ‘open game for the chief rivals after the first complimentary votes.
Contest Stands ‘Even’
Impartial observers have reached two conclusions: 1. The Taft and Dewey strength in this sector is divided about evenly, but with the drift toward Senator Taft. 2. The Senator stands to gain support, and Mr. Dewey to lose it, after the initial ballot and the breakup of “native son” backing. There are unmistakable signs that the war has dimmed enthusiasm for Mr. Dewey. Senator Taft is a natural beneficiary of rising doubts among party leaders concerning Mr. Dewey’s appeal to voters in a time of crisis. The impression that war developments have improved Democratic Prospects has made many Republicleaders in this section eager to poids a convention deadlock and a “smoke-filled room” nomination.
Wins Delegate Support
The extent of Senator Taft's gains in the farm belt is obscured by the unspectacular complexion of his campaign. In the recent swing which carried him as far west as|
Topeka, he attracted no great audiences, but his contacts with influential leaders and delegates won him support. A canvass in this area indicates that Senator Taft will pull some strength from Mr. Dewey even in' .states where the New Yorker won, notable primary victories. In Illinois, where the Senator entertained: 35 of the 58 delegates, open pledges of support were given him despite Mr. Dewey's uncontested victory in the preference primary. Many to Switch Votes
In Nebraska, where Mr. Dewey won from Senator Vandenberg in the primary, several delegates indicated their intention of switching to Senator Taft as soon as their
primary ‘obligations have been discharged. Similar switches are in prospect in Wisconsin. ' The Dewey forces are reasonably sure of all of
' Oklahoma's 22 votes.
Iowa's 22 votes will be cast first for Col. Hanford MacNider, with Senator Taft apparently holding the tighter grip thereafter. Kansas’ 18 delegates will vote first for. Senator Arthur Capper and then probably will follow the leadership of former Governor Alf M. Landon. Senator Vandenberg has Michigan’s 38 votes but his first-ballot| following in other states is almost!’ negligible. Missouri, with 30 delegates, is uncertain, with the St. Louis organization favoring Mr. Dewey and Kansas City leaders leaning to Senator Taft. Colorado’s 12 uninstructed delegates are reported about evenly divided.
Indiana Vote in Doubt
Senator Taft has an apparent advantage in his neighbor states of Kentucky, West Virginia and Indiana, where 66 votes are at stake. The Indiana lineup is uncertain, although there is evidence of Taft gains and Dewey losses since the Senator's recent visit to Indianapolis. The Taft forces are claiming 20 of the 28 delegates, conceding six to Mr. Dewey and one each to Senator Vandenberg and Wendell L. Willkie. Senator Taft's nucleus of Midwestern support is Ohio, with 52 votes. ’
