Primary Vote Studied
Great store is set by the polit-
ical dopsters on the results oil
primary election earlier this year
Under the curious filing
system in vogue in this State, the
candidates all filed both for the
Republican and the Democratic
nominations.
The play is to take the total
vote cast, in the Republican and
Democratic primaries for one
candidate, add them together and
compare the total with the total
obtained by another candidate
Mrs. Douglas, who won the
Democratic nomination, received
734,842 votes on the Democratic
line and 153,788 on the Repub-
lican-a total of 888,630. Mr..
Nixon had 318,840 votes for the
Democratic nomination, and 740,-
465 for the Republican nomina-
ton which he won. His total
vote was 1,059,305.
Two Others Ran.
This is not all, however. Two
Democratic candidates, Man

British Ask Vishinsky
|For Some Assurance
Russia Wants Peace
BY the Associoied Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Oct. Ia
British Minister of State Kenneth
D. Younger charged today that
Russia's latest peace plan merely
referred to old machinery for col
lective security which the Soviet
Union itself has been paralyzing
for the last five years.
Speaking before the U. N. AS
sembly's Political Committee, Mr..
Younger asked Soviet Foreign
Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky for
some assurance that Russia gen.
timely intends now to try to rec
oncile her differences with the
other major powers.
Mr.. Younger gave the Vests
formal answer to Mr.. Vishinsky's
proposal for consultations among
the Big Five and for the creation
of an international army under
the Security Council, where the
veto prevails.
Proposals Already in Charter.
The Soviet proposals already
are included in the U. N. Charter.
AS such they are not objected to
in principle by the United States
and Britain. However, the Amer
lean and British delegations have
underscored their position that
the Soviet plan can in no way be
regarded as a substitute for the
Seven-poWer resolution for an
anti-veto system of opposing ag-
gression.
The Vests position, as out
lined by an American spokesman
yesterday and concurred in by
Britain, is that the Soviet propos-
ais, while admirable in them
selves, are not new-and only So
Wet obstruction has prevented
them from being put into oper-
alton before this.
Talks Continuous.
They pointed out that consul
tations have been continuous
since 1945 in U. N. forums and
plans for the international army
under Security Council control
were scuttled by the Russians in
1947.
Therefore, delegation sources
said, those two Soviet proposals
alone will not ease current inter-
national tension unless they are
accompanied by concrete Russian
actions for peace. They would
need more specific evidence that
Russia now means what it says
before abandoning their own more
far-reaching proposals.
The West will, consequently.
continue to. push a seven-power
resolution to give the veto-free
General Assembly military power
to repeal aggression whenever the
Security Council is paralyzed by q
Russian veto.

Mr.. Desmond had 6O,613 on the
Republican line and 96,752 on the
Democratic. A big question, of
course, is where these Boldly and
Desmond votes will go in the gen.
eral election-to Mr.. Nixon or to
Mrs. Douglas.
The Desmond vote may be par
ticlularly significant. The SUPPOSE
ton is that much of it will 60 for
Mr.. Nixon. who like Mr.. Desmond
has been particularly anti-Red, it
is believed that many of the Boldly
votes will move over to Mr.. Nixon
since Mr.. Boldly was the CON
servative" Democratic candidate.
Mrs. Douglas Better Known.
Mrs. Douglas is more widely
known in the State than is Mr..
Nixon. An actress of note and
the wife of an actor, MELVIN
Douglas. she has been Democratic
national committeewoman for
California and vice chairman of
the Democratic State Central
Committee.
Mr.. Nixon, 81 years old. hit the
front pages of the newspapers
particularly in connection with
the activities of the House Un-
American Activities Committee
and Alger Hiss. He is a veteran
of World War II, entering the
Navy as lieutenant. junior grade
and leaving it with the rank o1
lieutenant commander.
The Republicans are placing
their all on Mr.. Nixon in this
Senate race, in the hopes of cap.
turing a second Senate seat they
now have on, occupied by Senator
Knowland who was elected in
1916.
On the other hand, the Demo-
cratic national organization is
throwing all it can into the race
to get the Senate seat for Mrs
Douglas. Vice President Barkley
has just been here to speak for
her. Members of the Presidents
cabinet are on the way, and in

Hershey Explains System.
Addressing meeting of the
International Association of Public
Employment Services last night,
Gen. Hershey stressed that the
draft law was intended to force
the young medical men to vol.
unteer, and indicated the draft
system will go to all possible ex-
tremeS to keep from swearing in
any of them.
The general said the law set ur
"a way not to do something" ano
amounted to a "goblins-will-g get
you-if-you-d -don't-watch-out" sort
Of program. He said there was a
danger" of induction whenever
specific quotas are issued to local
draft boards, indicating draft
headquarters probably will be re-
luctant to issue the quotas unless
they are forced to by the lack Of
volunteers.
"In the next two or three
weeks" he declared, I'VE will
know if the barking we've beer
doing is enough, or whether vel
actually have to start nipping al
a few heels"
The general. who has got into
hot water by previous Off -the-cufl
remarks, added that in saying
"heels' he was speaking oil
anatomy. not classification.
At the same time. both draft
and military officials continued tc
duck at least two other important
questions about the medical draft
The first is how long men will
be allowed to wait before volun-
teering, with the draft threat
facing them. The second is
exactly what will happen to those
who are inducted as privates.

Saturday the committee will take
testimony in Philadelphia.
Lansky was linked to Costello
in testimony yesterday.
At that time the Senate inveSti-
gators released a list of six COM
panies which allegedly operated
gambling resorts in New Jersey
and Saratoga. Evidence indicated
the companies crossed at least
81 million. Senator Kefauver said.
Five of the companies operated
in Bergen County, N, j, and
operations extended from 1945 to
early 1850, he said.
Joe Adonis, an underworld fig
ure, was prominent in all five
groups, the Senator said. The
committee has sought him for
questioning but has been unable
to find him. His wife, served with
a subpoena at her home in Cliff
side, N. j., claimed she was too i'll
to appear.
Is Witnesses Scheduled.
About Is witnesses are sched-
uled to appear before the group
today. They include James Rut-
kin, now on trial in Newark for al
legged income tax evasion; Michael
Orecchio, chief of Bergen County
detectives; John E. Guidetti, de-
tective lieutenant in the county;
and James B. Bernstein, vice
president of the Merchants Bank
Of New York.
Senator Kefauver said four un-
identified business men who ap-
peared before the committee yes
terday told of paying off New
Jersey gambling losses by checks
put through the Merchants Bank
of New York.
The committee also expected to
hear from the wives of James
piggy Lynch and Arthur Long

committee hasn't been able to
locate either of the two men.
Others whom it can't find are

facturers only last month and
noted the almost unanimous re-
sponse from the set-makers that
assembly designs could not be
changed quickly. Mr.. Sterling
favored a commission industry
conference to discuss the prob
lem.
The majority took note that un-
til a successful direct-view tri-
color tube is developed for Colum-
bia color, its color pictures will be
limited to screens of not more
than 1919 inches, because of lin
itations on the size of the color
wheel. However, the majority
opinion advanced the view that
the public will be willing to sacri-
flee picture size for color.
Il do not agree with this belief,
said Mr.. Sterling, asserting the
buying public has demonstrated
it's preference for big screens in
the open market.
Miss Hennock, long champion
of color operations, said her dis
