Illinois Poll tuesday
Launches Battle for
Control Of Congress
BY the Associated Pres.

CHICAGO, April 10.-The
great battle for control of Con-
gress officially opens Tuesday
in an Illinois primary revolving
around rousing scraps over a
Senate seat and chairmen of
three major House committees.
Mainly the scraps are rousing
the politicians and party pros
in this first primary Of the 1854
campaign.
This is a year when the gain
or loss of a single seat in Con-
gress will mean much to either
Democrats or Republicans-both
Senate and House are almost
evenly divided between the par
ties. Yet many Illinois voters are
yawning behind their hands over
the business of wedding out in
the preliminaries the candidates
who will collide in the general
election in November.
Nine Republicans are fighting
1t out for the party's nomina-
ton for United States Senator
and a chance to try to unhorse
Senator Paul H. Douglas, a
Democrat. The preponderant
opinion now is that Joseph r.
Meek, executive secretary of the
Illinois Federation Of Retail AS
soclations, has the inside track.
The COP is particularly eager
to shove Senator Douglas out of
his seat. He has been changing
alarm gongs about a recession.
The Senator himself has no OPP
position in the Democratic pri-
mary.
Jumped together in the north
western corner of the State are
three similar congressional dis
tricts of mixed farming and in
dustrial resources. Each is rep
resented in the House by the
chairman of an important COM
mittee.
All these chairmen Leo E.
Allen of the Rules Committee,
Robert B. Chiperfield of Foreign
Affairs and Harold H. Velde of
Un-American Activities - have
unexpectedly sturdy opposition

favored to repeat in the primary

Mchath viii Oppose
McCIe|Ian for Senate;
Foes Exchange Blasts
BY the A.soeicsed Press

SHERIDAN. Ark. April TO-
Former Gov. Sid McMath today
announced his candidacy for the
Democratic nomination to the
United States Senate, equiva-
lent to election in this Statae.
simultaneously he opened his
campaign with a speech in which
he accused his opponent, Sena-
tor John L. McC lellen, Of falling
out with Senator Mccarthy, Re-
publican, Of Wisconsin, only
when the latter took out after
other Republicans.
Senator Mcclellan announced
earlier this year that he would
seek third term.
McMath Sees vacillaatiOn.
The two-time Governor dashed
out at Senator Mcclellan, the
ranking Democrat on Senator
McCarthy's Investigations sub
committee, as being more Re-
publican than Democrat and
declared:
"Our senior Senator has va.
cillated on the Mccarthy con-
troverSy. AS long as Joe was
branding the Democrats as spies
and traitors our Johnny was
saying. Go to it, Joe, sic EN-
It was only when Mccarthy
turned his guns on the Repub-
licans that your senior Senator
started dragging his feet"
In Washington, Senator Nc
Clellan issued the following
statement:
Ills announcement is, of
course. no surprise. Every one
knows he has been actively run
ming against me for the past six
years. I do not know why he
has waited so long to make it
official.
Tactics Expected.
"TIis charge Of Republicanism
and his feeble attempt to dis
credit my conduct and actions
as a member of the Senate In
vestigating Subcommittee are
deliberate distortions of the truth
and record. Such tactics were
also to be expected.
"The only surprising thing is
that he now seeks to adopt for
his program so much of what
I have initiated and supported
since I have been in the Senate.
Future performance In the pub
lie service is best judged by past
performance.
IT welcome the opportunity
for the people of Arkansas to
compare my public and official
record with his. I know what
their verdict will be-"

Federation Elects Officers
After Debate on Procedure

There were no televiSion cam
eras and no microphones at yes
terday's meeting of the District
Federation of Women's Clubs,
but points of order" contributed
to a lively parliamentary battle
over election procedure.
The day-long meeting, held
at the YWCA. finally ended in
an election. But only after an
hour-and-a-half debate over
whether the clubs vote last
month to postpone the anpual
meeting until June was null
and void" or a suspension OF
the rules"
The parliamentary argument
began last month over motion
to postpone the annual meeting
from May "a to June IA so that
the federation president. Mrs.
Erich w. Schwartze, could at
tend the convention before the
expiration of her term of office.
CThe convention is scheduled to
begin next Monday in Denver
The motion was approved at
that time by vote of 43 to II,
although opponents protested at
the time it was unconstitutional.
Later, 13 members petitioned
Mrs. Schwartze to call the meet
ing for May "a, the original date,
on the grounds that lit is obliga-
tory to hold the annual execu-
tive board meeting in May as
provided by our bylaws"
In complying with the request,

Mrs. SchwartZe stated In her
announcement that she would
like to hold the annual meeting
and election, with the permiS-
sion of the board"
Mrs. Schwartze read the petit
ton yesterday and then asked
one representative from each
side to make a statement.
Mrs. Charles H. Pierce, the
parliamentarian, who had op-
posed the postponement. quoted
from Roberts Rules of Order to
the effect that mo motion is in
order that conflicts with =. the
bylaws, and if such motion is
adopted, even by unanimous
vote, is null and void"
Speaking in defense of the
April action. Mrs. Ernest w.
Howard argued that it conSti-
tuted a suspension of the rules,
according to another of Roberts
rules.
At this point, Mrs. Gertrude
Parks, a past president, asked
for a point of personal privi-
lege." But, the chair asked her
to wait as she turned to Mrs.
E. Morgan Pryse, federation
/ member and also a lawyer, for
legal advice" on what to do
hold the annual meeting or not.
Mrs. Pryse said it was her
opinion that the April decision
should stand, because the mo-
ton had been carried by a two
thirds majority.
Further arguments in favo' OF
postponing the election eventu-
ally were ended by Mrs.
Schwartze.
The retiring president said she
had decided not to go to Denver
and since that was the only rea-
son for postponing the election.
she would entertain a motion for
continuing the special meeting as
the annual meeting.
The motion being made and
carried, the federation's annual
meeting was under way.
AS the first order of business,
the group voted to send Mrs.
Schwartze to Denver anyway. as
past president. Mrs. Schwa1tze
accepted the decision, provided
she could give the presidents re-

Soviet Sets
New. Push For
Farm Products
By RICHARD KAsIscHkE

MOSCOW R - Another massive
effort for 1855, to move more peo-
pie to Soviet farms to raise enough
food for the growing population,
is forecast in the Moscow press.
This is to be the second big push.
And this time, it is indicated, a
real effort will be made IT, weed

only in Moscow but in all the re-

will be, sent out to do their bit on
the virgin lands, state farms and
machine tractor stations.
The Ministry of Health is the
first big government agency to an
nounce that it is going to stream.
line.
The problem in the Soviet Union
is: How you gonna get 'em down
on the farm in Siberia after
they've lolled behind desk in
Moscow?
That is the job Of Nikita S.
Khrushchev, first secretary of the
Communist party and the man in
charge of boosting agricultural
production.
Khrushchev kicked off the first
Of his multiple farm drives in Sep
tember 1858. Volunteers were re-
cruited and the country was able
to report a slight increase in grain
production but still fell short OF
the goals in livestock raising.
Now the leaders want to open
more acreage, with more people.
The Soviets need more grain not
only for their own people but for
trading purposes.
The Ministry of Health an.
nounced that those it dismissed
would be guaranteed new jobs. The
announcement said the best oppor'
tunities seem to be on the virgin
lands Of Siberia and Central Asia.
It repeated all the inducements
given to prospective farmers
cash bonuses, tax exemptions, free
railway tickets, loans for building
cottages, etc.
The Communist party organ
Pravda says the whole government
needs streamlining and that there
are still too many paper pushers
in the Soviet Union.
