BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. August 27.-The
contest in which United States Senator
Hiram w. Johnson seeks denomination
on the Republican ticket furnishes the
only interest in tomorroW'S California
primary election. The veteran Senate
leader is opposed by Charles Randall
of Los Angeles, candidate on both the
Democratic and Prohibition party
tickets
Senator Johnson has the endorsement
of the State Republican central COM
mittee and faces the barrier with less
organized opposition than in any of his
previous campaigns. His fight for Fed
eral action on the Boulder Dam project
has gained him much support.
Minor Moore, Los Angeles attorney,
is unopposed for the Democratic SEN
atorial nomination.
Six Candidates Unopposed.
Six congressman. candidates To sue
coed themselves. are unopposed even
by the opposing parties and are assured
of reelection. Five are Republicans.
They are: Harry L. Englebright second
district; Charles F.. Curry. third dis
trict; Florence p Kahn, fourth district;
Richard j. WEIGH, fifth district, and
Phil D. Swing, twelfth district. Clar-
ence F. Lee, first district, is a Demo-
crat
There are no contests for the NOM
nation in the sixth and seventh dis
tricts. Albert f, Carter, Republican.
and Burton Hall. Democrat. are I'M
opposed in the sixth. and Representa-
tives Henry E. Barbour, Republican,
and John Fairweather, Democrat. have
no opposition in the seventh.
Free Faces Contest.
In the eighth district Representa-
tive Free is opposed for both the Re-
publican and Democratic nominations
by Mrs Cecilia c. Casserly. daughter
of Michael Cudahy Chicago packer.
Representative William E. Evans faces
probably the hardest congressional fight
in the ninth district, Los Angeles Coun-
ty. He is opposed for the Republican
nomination by Alva l.. Reynolds. The
Democratic candidate is James B. Ogg.
Joe Grail. incumbent, has no opposi-
ton on the Republican ticket in the
tenth district, also in Los Angeles Coun-
ty, but is opposed for the Democratic
nomination by Maurice J. Mccarthy.
Because of the absence of contests
or major issues. light vote is expected,

effort was just beginning and that It
would be refined and elaborated In fu-
ture trials.
Il see no reason why this plan should
not be extensively used by areas Of
contested automobile traffic" he said.
ct seems quite possible, for instance,
to work out a plan by which airplanes
will supply continuous information not
only to the police, but the autoists.
Suppose at important road intersections.
ferries and places of congestion there
we're signs on which messages could be
quickly lettered by some automatic de-
vice. A message would be dropped or
radioed from the air and sign would
go up at the Tarrytown ferry over the
Hudson. something like this, All ferries
and approaches badly congested; better
take detour through Englewood and go
through tunnel Or instead. the mes
sages could be spoken through a loud
speaker. The mechanics OF such a
scheme would be easy enough to man
age.
Our experiment has convinced us
that the bird's-eye view of a long
stretch of country is invaluable t. the
police, and I believe this plan will do
lot to expedite and safeguard Sunday
and holiday traffic
