should get into the mixture, it could form

Democrats in Mississippi are
irrevocably for Russell of Georgia
The State Democratic Committee
has already given him its backing
as have both houses of the State
Legislature by unanimous vote.
Grass roots opinion will also sup
port Russell.
Kefauver is persona non grata
to the party leadership. His re-
form efforts have won him some
popular appeal, but it is not
significant.
Taft folks are absolutely in
charge of a Republican organiza-
ton which is now accredited by
the national party. But there is
a strong Eisenhower faction with
a suit pending before the State
Supreme Court seeking to get
their candidates name on the
ballot.
Lee Hills, executive editor,
Detroit Free Press and Miami

State in a national election. The
outcome will depend a lot on
whether or not there is Republi-
can landslide. I have a feeling
Eisenhower would take the State
if he won the nomination. 1t
might also 60 for Taft.
There is a lot of interest in
Stevenson. Kefauver has been
into the State a few times and he
hasn't had too warm a reception
from the Democrats.
In Florida, Kefauver has a
pretty fair organization. On pure
ly popular opinion 1 guess ii
would split between Russell and
Kefauver, with Kefauver having
a slight edge.
On the Republican side, just on
a basis of personal popularity
Eisenhower has the edge over
Taft.

New Site Rezoned So Store
al Burke Airport Can Move

No matter what happens to the
Burke Airport, there is going to
be a Carson's Trading Post.
Roy H. Carson, proprietor of the
general store which has served
Burke residents for many years,
yesterday had new site rezoned
for his store. The old one is
within the proposed airport
boundaries. Mr.. Carson said the
Government already had con-
demned it.
While Mr.. Carson isn't sure
when he'll have to vacate the
present location. he is getting
ready to stay in business. The lot
he had rezoned yesterday from
agricultural to rural business is
located on Hooes road just east of
Sidenstricker Chapel.
1t wasn't an easy matter con-
vincing the supervisors that he
had chosen the right location for
the new store. On the first vote,
his application was denied by a
80 vote. Later the board recon-
sidered and passed it.

but there's quite a surge for Ike.
In a number of recent straw vote
polls, Ike was 212-to-1 over Taft

Senator Kefauver doesn't pull
too much weight.
GuStaf A. Nordin, managing

favorite in Minnesota and the
entire Midwest. Taft is we'll liked,
but Senator Kefauver might beat
him if he continues to gain sup

the G. 0. P. would win easily.
"It probably will be Eisenhower,
because the Republicans want a
winner this time"
Coleman A. Harwell, editor,

pends on Kefauver's showing in

Our Senator may not be popular
with the big politicians. but he has
a lot of public sentiment behind
him. We think he'll make the

For the G. o. P, the Tennessee

Eisenhower is a popular favorite.

They were Chairman John w.

At that time, Mr.. Sharper said
Miss Hendricks was "indecisive"

Virgiinians Plan
Two Primaries

9th and 10th District
Candidates in july
By the Associated Press

RICHMOND, April 17.-Demo-

in only two Virginia districts this
year.
The deadline for filing for the
July IS elections expired at mid
night last night with no new can
didates. This left only the 9Th and
10th districts with contests to be
decided by primaries.
-Four men will seek the nomina-
ton in the new 10th. They are
Delegate j. Maynard Magruder of
Arlington; C. C. Carlin, jr., Alex
andria publisher: Edmund D.
Campbell, Arlington attorney; and
Landon c. Painter. Fairfax Coun-
ty salesman.
Another candidate, former Dele
gate w. Selden Washington of
Alexandria, withdrew yesterday

Burton Opposed in 9Th.
In the 9Th. including the Roa-
noke-Lynchburg area, the primary
lineup matches Representative
Burton of Lynchburg against Moss
A. Plunkett, Roanoke attorney and
a member of the party's anti
organization wing.
Two other districts had pri-
maries scheduled this year but
no opposition showed up, so the
incumbents-the only qualified
candidates-will be declared the
nominees. They are Represent
ative Gary in the 3rd and Repre-
sentative Hardy. in the End.
The 9th District nominee al
ready has been chosen in conven-
ton. He is State Senator M. M.
Long of Wise County, who will
seek the seat being vacated by
Representative Fugate.
Other Conventions Planned.
Conventions will be held to
nominate in the other five dis
tricts. No opposition has showed
up yet for four of these incum-
bents-Representatives Abbitt in
the 4th. Stanley in the 5th, Har-
riSon in the 7th and Smith in
the 9th.

here, the Fair Deal boys ran a
poor third.
For the Democrats. Senator
Russell seems to be the best
choice. Republicans in Louisiana
are outnumbered by Democrats,
perhaps 100 to /, but Ike still
looks like the next President. The
people want a change.
The Republican Party is really
building up strength in Louisiana.

representative government in the
State.
In press conference in a Rich
mond hotel. the man who gave
strong opposition to Gov. Battle
in the l949 gubernatorial primary
announced his headquarters
would open in Richmond about

Lambeth, former commemorative
attorney of Bedford County, as

Mr.. Miller charged the Byrd
system" of maintaining perma-
nent control" over State affairs
contrary to the will of the ma
jority."
He said, "The faction which
operates the Byrd system does not
believe in government of the peo-
pie. by the people and for the
people. They believe in govern
ment of the few. by the few and
for the few. Hence, their cum
ming is continually at work devils
ing ways and means to limit the
electroate and gradually to de-
prive those who vote of the fruits
of their suffrage"
Mr.. Miller accused Senator Byrd
OF isolationism and the Byrd Or
ganlzation of joining "the old
guard OF the Republican Party
It's worse wing, the Taft wing"
Compliments Recalled.
Mr.. Miller said, Harry Byrd
has sold us down the Ohio River"
in recalling compliments that
Senators Byrd and Taft have ex-
changed about each other. The
Charlottesville anti = organization
leader quoted Senator Byrd as
calling Senator Taft "a tower of
strength" in 1850. And he re-
called Senator Taft's remark in
Richmond this winter that he and
senator Byrd voted the same way
about nine-tenths of the time.
This is the second time Mr.
Miller has offered for a Statewide.
office. But he has served in the
House OF Delegates, holding a seat
there from Fairfax County during

for him.
In general sentiment. Eisen-

Predicted by Editors Meeting Here

It looks like an Eisenhower

For the Democrats, Senators
Russell and Kefauver hold the

appeal.

comment:
