Cloudy Skies Discourage Voters, Results In Light Vote For Minnesota Primary
Minneapolis, Minn.—(U.P.)—First reports from the Minnesota presidential primary today indicated an extremely light vote, which would be a setback for the write-in campaigns by supporters of Gen Dwight D. Eisenhower and Sen. Estes Kefauver.
Voting was "very light" in the metropolitan centers of Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Duluth, with rain and overcast skies discouraging voters throughout the state. The polls opened at 7 a.m. and will close at 8 p.m.
The Republican ballot carried the names of former Minnesota governor Harold E. Stassen and Edward G. Slettedahl, a politically unknown St. Paul school teacher running as a stand-in for Gen. Douglas MacArthur. Sen Hubert H. Humphrey, supporting President Truman, was unopposed on the Democratic ballot.

Book About Truman Blasted By Byrnes
Key West, Fla.—(U.P.)-Disclosures in a new, intimate book about President Truman brought chilling reaction today from veteran members of Congress and a wrathful blast from James F. Byrnes, former secretary of state.
The book is "Mr. President," by William Hillman, a collection of personal and official memoranda, letters, diary excerpts and exclusive interviews.
Mr. Byrnes, now governor of South Carolina and a leader in the Southern anti-Truman revolt, denied receiving a sharply-worded letter Mr. Truman says he read to his students. "He cusin him of assuming too much authority in handling U.S. foreign policy.
Dakota Blizzard Isolates 1,200 Families
Bismark, N.D.—(U.P.)—All available state and private equipment was ordered into the battle today against the 12 to 18 foot drifts that have marooned 1,200 farm families and herds of starving cattle in North Dakota's "blizzard belt."
Bulldozers struggled through the night against the drifting snows as Gov. Norman Brunsdale awaited word from President Truman in answer to his plea for emergency funds.
County commissioners estimated the clearing project would take 7 to 10 days and authorities said they might have to resort to an air drop, similar to "operation haylift" of 1949, to aid the starving cattle.
S-M High Protests Basketball Defeat
Shawnee—(U,P)—A formal protest against the ruling which gave Newton the Kansas class AA high school basketball championship will be filed with the Kansas State High School Activities association this week.
Howard D. McEACHen, principal of Shawnee-Mission high school here, said the school Parent-Teacher association adopted a resolution Monday night endorsing the filing of the formal protest.
Officials ruled after the game Saturday at Manhattan that Newton had defeated Shawnee-Mission, 54-53, after a last second field goal. Shawnee-Mission partisans maintain the basket was made after the game was over.
UN Lines Repulse 8 Communist Attacks
Seoul, Korea—(U.P)—The Communists threw more that 1,000 men against United Nations lines in eight probing attacks Monday night and early today.
The enemy attacked between the truce conference village of Pamunjom-jum and Korangpori along a fourmile front west of Imjin river. The Reds tried to soften up the Allied lines with heavy artillery, mortar and automatic weapons fire, then attacked in four company-sized waves. All the attacks were repulsed.
F-80 Shooting Stars, flying through low-hanging clouds, slammed bombs and bullets on Communist front-line troops and artillery positions on the eastern and central fronts.
Not since Dec. 28 have the Communists been so aggressive in the Korangpori area of the western front.

Having predicted time and again that Eisenhower will return from Europe before the GOP nominating convention, Carlson refused to be swayed by a letter from the general made public Monday by 19 House Republicans: The House members—all Eisenhower supporters — had urged the European defense commander at once.
Eisenhower replied that, "during the next few months, no other job or mission that I can discharge seems more important than the one in which I am now engaged." He said personal inclinations, advice of friends or "possibilities that lie ahead" cannot outweigh "an inescapable and present duty."

"Croce has an active interest in the arts and tries to explore the principles of aesthetics," Professor Borgese said. He is not always right, the lecturer commented.
Croce was influenced by the earlier philosophers, Giovanni B. Vico and Francesco de Sancti, Professor Borgese told about 100 students and faculty members.
Professor Borgese pointed out that aesthetics is when "intellect and imagination converge."
Croce regards a work of art as completely individual rather than seeing it as part of the river of the history of art, the professor said.
De Sanctis regarded art at the beginning as mere disinterested expression. Later, art pursued good through its own ways, Professor Borgese said.
Vico regarded the imagination strongest when reason is weakest, Professor Borgese said, stating that according to this theory Homer saw with his "viscera," and Dante "unfortunately was a scholar."
