Taft Backer Hails 7-7 Oklahoma Split as Victory
In Oklahoma City a Taft field manager called the state Republican convention outcome a great victory for Taft as seven delegates leaned to Taft, seven to Eisenhower, two to MacArthur. Eisenhower backers call the 7-7 split a moral victory, while Aiken warns Eisenhower must campaign or risk losing support. Taft seeks Lincoln Day speeches in Seattle as Stassen and Warren campaign elsewhere. Kefauver touts democracy while linking corruption and communism as threats. Stassen eyes a compromise bid, and a New Jersey primary will test popular support with a presidential popularity contest alongside the usual primary.

Diplomat Offers Kin for Adoption Amid Backed Refugee Pressure
An Egyptian diplomat, A. Nasser, says he will offer his wife and three children for adoption by a kind American rather than return home as Egypt demands. He plans to find employment first to support his family and cites inhumane treatment from the government over his wife’s travel restrictions before childbirth in June. Nasser claims his salary has stopped since January 15 and he has sold personal belongings to survive. An embassy spokesman said Nasser was given one month to depart, while officials offered protection if the family remains. Nasser insists the embassy misrepresented aid.
