KeUand Slated
For COP Post

PHOENIX, May 10-(UP) - Ari-
zona Republicans hoped today that
the candidacy of Clarence Buding-
ton Kelland, famed novelist and
creator of the "Scattergood Baines'
serials, for COP national committee
man from Arizona would give the
party a new lease on life in the
traditionally Democratic state.
Kelland'S election to the post was
believed a "cinch' because Mari
copa county's II delegates to the
state convention May 18 already are
pledged to his support. Enough votes
from Pima county were expected to
add the IL necessary for a majority
and his election.
Political observers said it was like
ly that the political "reapproach-
ment" between Kelland and the
present committman, Ned Creigh-
ton of Phoenix who backed the au-
thor's candidacy, would knit the
COP into unified group.
More optimistic Republicans hop
ed the Kelland-Creighton alignment
would perhaps change the political
destinies of the COP in Arizona a
notorious Democratic stronghold,
because of the authors nationwide
popularity.
