Taft Victory Stops Stassen In Ohio Primary
Washington, May 5—(UP)—Re-
turns from Ohio's Republican presi-
dential primary braked the Stassen
band wagon today, but disclosed a
labor front weakness in Sen. Robert
A. Taft's candidacy.
On the basis of incomplete returns, Harold E. Stassen apparently won nine Ohio district delegates to the Republican national convention. He was losing in 14 delegate contests with Senator Taft, including one state-wide test of G.O.P. sentiment. That test came on the choice of a delegate-at-large. The consensus had been that Mr. Stassen would win his delegate-at-large entry. His defeat there was a jarring blow.
If present standing are sustained in the final tabulation, the Ohio score will be: Taft 44; Stassen. 9.
Senator Taft called the primary result a defeat for Mr. Stassen with special emphasis on the at-large contest. The senator said he now had more first ballot convention votes that any other candidate for G.O.P. nomination. Mr. Stassen and Gov. Dewey of New York made similar claims. None of them supported by detailed break-down of committed convention delegations.
Senator Taft won 30 Ohio delegates without contest.
Mr. Stassen's Ohio votes in the Republican national convention will come from such industrial areas as Dayton, Toledo, Akron, Youngstown, and Cleveland. The rural areas went for Senator Taft and he was able to split others.
Senator Taft won a lopsided majority of Ohio's delegates but Mr. Stassen made it close in the popular vote. With a few hundred contested precincts still out, Taft delegates polled 341,261 votes to 323,044 for Stassen delegates—a modest bulge of 18,217 votes.
YWCA Celebrates 75th Anniversary
The University Y.W.C.A. will celebrate the national 75th anniversary of Y.W. work on college campuses with a diamond jubilee dinner today.
The University chapter is 62 years old. It was organized in 1886 with a membership of 12 girls and functioned primarily as a missionary society. There are now over 500 members and the missionary society has expanded to include groups on community service, race relations, orientation of new students, international groups and co-operatives.
The program will be a research report prepared by Mary Lees, Col-Am. It will be presented in CA. It will be presented in skit form by the girls living at Henley house.
Miss Virginia Douglass, fine art sophomore, is in charge of the dinner.

Hangovers Give You Worst Headaches, Doctor Insists
If a person with a bursting hangover could see the blood vessels in his head on that "morning after," he would know why it feels like part of the skull is missing and the brain exposed. This is the opinion of Dr. John J. Shea, Memphis, in his speech to the post-graduate assembly of eye, ear, nose and throat doctors at the University of Kansas Medical center in Kansas City.
The scientific reason for a hangover was explained by Dr. Shea as the unoxidized products of alcohol. It is much harder for the body to oxidize the "aged a day in the woods" type of whiskey than the properly made and aged whiskey.
However, Dr. Shea says this doesn't hold true in every case because persons differ in their capacity to oxidize alcohol.
"There are headaches from many physical causes." Dr. Shea said. Putting off a decision, ducking a responsibility, or maybe taking on too much responsibility are causes of headaches. Even a bad conscience may turn into one. Headaches from eye strain are not too important, and the so-called sinus headache is a fable, he said.
Other speakers at the session were Dr. Oscar V. Batson of Philadelphia, Dr. John S. Knight and Dr. Galen M. Tice.
All heads of "College Daze," student musical revue, will meet at 4 p.m. tomorrow in the Union Activities office.

'Get Out, Live. Engineers Told At Banquet
"As engineers, you ought to take an active part in the life of the community," Mr. George said. "Why do the lawyers get the positions on the school boards and the city councils? Because they go after them."
"Get out and live," was the advice given by B. J. George, Kansas City industrial engineer, to the members of Sigma Tau, honorary engineering fraternity at their initiation banquet Tuesday.
Mr. George argued for a strong professional group, urging that a national organization such as the American Bar association or the American Medical association be set up for the engineering profession.
These associations allow the members to make new friendships and contacts, to keep abreast of the profession, and to exchange ideas. But more than these, he said, the professional groups promote a sense of unity and co-operation among all engineers.
Dalton Eash, president of Sigma Tau, was toastmaster, and Oliver Edwards, engineering senior, welcomed the new members into the fraternity. John Fowler, engineering senior, was in charge of banquet arrangements.
Before the banquet, 46 men were initiated into Sigma Tau. The new members were selected from the top-ranking juniors and seniors in the School of Engineering. Names of the initiates will be announced at the Honors convocation, May 11.
