as 400" first-ballot votes for the

ton.
With GIG votes needed to NOM
mate, Senator Russell told re-

II think I will be in a very
strong position going into the con-

The Georgian indicated he
doubts any other candidate will
muster greater first-ballot strength.
The other announced candidates
for top place on the Democratic
ticket are Senators Kefauver of
Tennessee and Kerr of Oklahoma
The list quite likely will be longer
by convention time.

Appeals Court Hears
Dispute on Validity Of
Maryland Write-ins
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS. April 7.-Mary-
lands lawmakers intended to al
low write-in votes in primary
elections and make them much
more than "eyewash." the Court
of Appeals was told today.
Lyman A. Pressman, attorney
and himself party to a suit de-
|manding the privilege of writing
in names on May S primary bal
lots. asked the court to back a
Baltimore decree holding the
practice legal.
The legislature went so far in
revising the election law in 1945
that it included instructions for
write-ins to absentee voters in
Baltimore city primaries, Mr..
FRESHMAN said.
Statement Disputed.
President Truman's recent
statement. that primaries are eye
wash, has been widely disputed,
he told the court.
1T definitely does not apply to
Maryland because our primary
election law was enacted in order
TO give the voters a greater voice
in the selection of party candi-
dates and to eliminate the evil
of nominations being made by a
small number of party Bosses"
Long ignored in Maryland, pri-
mary write-inS were given grace
by the 1945 General Assembly, Mr..
Pressman and two other attorneys
argued. The State replied that
the Constitution holds no such
guarantee and history has denied
the right.
Ruling Due Today.
The court was expected to hand
down at least bare ruling before
the day is out.
The question reached the States
highest court on an appeal from
Baltimore Circuit Court, where
Judge Emory H. Niles last week
held write-ins legal.
He ruled in a suit directed
against Baltimore officials, but
whatever opinion is reached by the
Court of Appeals would apply to
all alike.
