 The experiments are being car- ried out at the two-story. round- roof building that houses the Arc tic Institute, sponsored by the Office of Naval Research

Three States Have Primary
 Votes Today
Arkansas, South Carolina and Idaho Voters Ball.
 Iot on Candidates
CBy The Associated Press)

Democrats went to the polls today in South Carolina, Arkansas and Idaho to chose candidates for the November elections.
 While light vote was predicted for Idaho, good turnouts were ex- pected in the two southern states, where Democratic nominees usually are certain of November victory, and where a couple of stiff ballot con- tests were on tap.
 In South Carolina, Burnett R. Maybank battled four competitors for his U. s. Senate seat in race which featured the first heavy Me- gro voting in some 72 years. The main event in Arkansas was a run off for the governorship between Garland Couny Prosecutor Sidney McMath and former Attorney Gen. eral Jack Holt.
 In prediction campaigning ill the South Carolina contest all five candidates attacked the recent fed eral court ruling ty Judge J. Waties Waring which opened membership in the Democratic Party to Negroes.
 Maybank's opponents were farmer Neville Bonnet, Rep. w.. J. Bryan Dorn. attorney Alan Johnstone and lumherman Marcus A. Stone.
 There also were three South Car olina races for House seats. Compel ing for Dorn's job were former Rep. John c. Taylor, former State h. ouor Commissioner R. L. Gamble, Leon L. Rigen and James B. Hare. State Rep. Hugo s. Sims, Jr., was trying to unseat U. s. Rep. John J. Riley, and Probate Judge Roy C.. Cobb ran against Rep. James J. Richards.
 Reps. L. Mendel Rivers, Joseph R. Bryson and John L. McMillan were unopposed.
 In the regular Arkansas primary two weeks ago, McMath failed to win 6 majority in the seven man gubernatorial race, although he led runner-up Holt by 27,000 votes.
 Rep. J. w. Trimble and Charles B. Ivy fought 1t out in the same state for Trimble's House seat.
 In Idaho. Democrats were to name November contestants for the House seats of Republicans Abe Golf and John Sanborn. The two COP Con- gressmen. like Republican Senator Henry c. Dworshak, are unopposed in their own party.

The W Washington Merry -Go- Round

WASHINGTON = The sad, un- American story of how Congress mans campaign contributions some times go hand in hand with cer- tain favors even such favors as getting men preferred positions in the Army-is revealed in anoth- CT chapter in the political life of Congressman J. Parnell Thomas, New Jersey Republican.
 Believing that Congressnen who investigate other people should be able to withstand investigation themselves, this column has done some probing into the operations of that famous prober-J. Parnell Thomas.
 Already it has developed that Thomas, though Chairman of the Un-American Activities Committee, where he should set an example to. the world, received kickbacks from three alleged office-workers who didn't come anywhere near his office; also kept one boy away from overseas duty by telling the Army he was an undercover agent for the Un-American Committee. However, this is only part of the story. Here is some more.
 In l944, when Congressman Thomas was up for reelection he received $200 for his campaign expenses from Hyman Tiplitz, 162 Fifth Avenue, New York. manufact- urer of Hy-Type Clothes. Again in l946. Thomas received $l00 from

No Improvement in Berlin No Word from DipIo-
 mdtit Conferences
(By Tie Associated Pres; )

t6y Alc ASSOCldtcu TlCoi
 The Moscow radio urged closer collaboration today between Russia and the United States to assure a lasting peace.
 Ordinarily for the last year or more, the radio has devoted itself almost exclusively to assailing the Western Powers, usually the U. s. A.
 The speaker, of course, included an assertion that "reactionary cir cles" in the U. s. oppose this and are undermining collaboration. But he gave the U s. little credit for victory over Japan in a lighting friendship and partnership" with Russia. The broadcast commemora- ted Russia's declaration of war against staggering Japan, already reeling under two atom bomb blows.
 Things were no better in block aded Berlin.
 w. T. Babcock, U. s. Deputy Com mander in Berlin. reported that q fairly accurate German source said the Russians have ordered German rail officials to. stand by for a pos- sibie reopening of Che fsllf6kd rom Berlin to the west, through the surrounding Russian Zone. Babcock said the report can only be called pure runor.' ss. z
 The Russians moved In on the German city government food ad- ministration, crowding the regular city staff from the City Hall, which is in the Russian Zone. Two food administrators appeared in prospect. Already, the city has two police chiefs, two currencies and four sets of occupation powers.
 German leaders were at work in Frankfurt drafting Constitution for a Western German Government, a move bitterly opposed by Russia.
 Signs increased that the Russian Zone of Germany has food short age. The drive against hoarders and black marketeers was stepped up.
 Only silence came from Moscow, Washington, London and Paris on the course of diplomatic maneuvers in the Kremlin to end the Berlin blockade and settle other questions dividing the west and east.
 Russia blamed the U. s. and Bri- tain in the United Nations for wrecking talks on arms limitations. The Security Council resumed de- bate on Yugoslav assertions that the two western powers are plotting to return Trieste to Italy.
 an-dominated countries at the Danube Conference in Belgrade voted solidly to beat French effort to win freedom on navigation guar antees on that most important wa terway in Europe. In London, dep- uties of the U. S., Britain, Russia and France heard American views on what should happen to prewar Ital- ian colonies.
