Taft Pic
lke Garners Two, Could Get 2 More
By IRVING LEIBOWITZ Sen. Robert A. Taft cap-! {ured 28 of Indiana's 32 dele-! gates to the Republican National Convention, a statewide check of election results showed today. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower has two and could pick up another two before the Republicans meet in Chicago July 7 to nominate a candidate for President. Although yen. Eisenhower scored an impressive triumph in Marion County's battle for stale convention . delegates, he lost heavily in other Indiana counties) where Taft and Ike candidates fought it out, In Kokomo, for example, 19 Taft delegates were elected, eight|
were for Eisenhower and two uncommitted.
Pro Taft Delegates
Wherever there was a TaftEisenhower fight— Anderson, Gary and Evansville—the Taft forces won, In the uncontested county the delegates are known to be heavily pro Taft. As a result, the Ohio Renator was assured of at least 28 Indiana delegates to.the national convention. i Sen. Taft does not intend to! rest on his laurels in Indiana.

Favorite Foe
HARTFORD, CONN. May 9i (UP)—Sen. Robert A. Taft said | yesterday that President Truman {is still “my favorite candidate”
{for the Democratic presidential
(nomination.
Here's how Indiana's 32 national delegates are chosen: The 2116 delegates, at district meetings the night before the June 7 state convention, elect 22 national delegates, two for each of Indiana's 11 districts. Ten additional national delegates are elected by the state convention— usually senators and top Republican leaders. Since Taft won 10 Indiapa districts, he is- assured of 20 national delegates plus at least 8 additional elected at large by the predominantly pro-Taft state convention. Gen. Eisenhower automatically picks up two delegates from Mar-| ion County and goes scrounging into the state convention to get others. Gen. Eisenhower leaders expect to be in a position to name at least one national delegate at! large during the state convention. Thus, the Indiana scoreboard! for delegates to the Republican | National Convention reads: Taft,| 28; Eisenhower, 2; to be decided, 2.
