Impressive Break. The Ewart-B|ggs killing was a dramatic demonstration of how easily the fires of the North can leap to the South. The Dublin government has stepped up patrols along its border with Ulster. Still, local support for the I.R.A., though waning in the South, makes control difficult. A Provo-organized march last April, banned by the Dublin government, attracted 10,000 marchers in the capital's streets. This month several jailed I.R.

Then on June 8, the President should easily take Ohio and New Jersey, but the big leap probably will be made that day by the winner in California, where former Governor Reagan lately has moved ahead. On the Democratic side, Jimmy Carter should win three or four of this week's primaries, then run behind Governor Jerry Brown in California but do well in Ohio and New Jersey...
