 political echoes were awakened in
 Washington by the vote Of confi-
 dence given former Senator Brock

 By the republican insurgents the outcome of the primary was ac- claimed as double victory. vindi- eating the stand they had taken against BroolShart's recent excIu- sion from the senate and adding new support 10 their campaign for legislation 10 aid the farmer.
 Among administration officials comment was confined largely to expressions Of regret that one of the veterans Of the senate appar- ently had fallen before a returning tide Of insurgency.
 Senator Cummins himself had nothing 10 say beyond an express sion of gratitude to those who sup ported him. He made this state ment:
 Cummins' Statement

 "Thcy have done everything for me that loyal, unsolflsh men and women could do. l am profoundly grateful to them and this gratitude will continue so long as l live"
