He pointed out that, it there was any daaage, they could sue the goveraaent. lor did the judge agree with a company contention that the 1overnaent, in control, would go ahead and graJ the demands of the union.

So Judge Boltzoff refused an •eaeraency• injunction - saying he saw no reason for anythin1 so drastic. But, t h e companies can go on and preas for a "preliminary• injunction. Th e difference between •emergency" and "preliminary" is that the former is faster, while the latter take s more time. In Con g res s , too, the seizure is being denounced as - un c onstitution a l.

POLITICS The conflict of claims, after the battle of Illinois, i s not so persuasive tonight. One side says - ''smashing" victory. The other side 'hollow" victory. Senator Taft describes that Illinois result - and the figures - complete now, as a smashing victory for him. T,lft, eight hundred thousand. Stassen, one hundred and thirty thousand. Eisenhower, one hundred and twenty-three thouaand. For the Jenator six tilles as many as tor either Harold Stassen or General Ike. Three times as many as for the two combined. But General Ike wasn't in it - not on the ballot. I The backers of the General point out that all those Eisenhower votes of ~ne hundred and twenty-three thousand were "writes-ins." fOLITICS - 2 And point out that the General's nati o nal or g aniz a tion did not run a write- i n campaign.
