President Gets
|61% Of Total
Vote in Indiana
Substantial Revolt
Fails to Show Up
Among Formers
BY GOULD LINCOLN

The revolt of the corn belt
farmers against President Eisen-
hover, predicted by Democratic
leaders, failed to materialize in
substantial degree in the In
diana presidential preference
Iprimary yesterday.
The President, running in the
Republican primary with only
token opposition, had 81 per
cent of the total Statewide vote
to 81 per cent for Senator Estes
Kefauver, Tennessee Democrat,
who was unopposed in the Dem
Iocratic side of the primary, in
the returns so far received. Lar
DAILY of Chicago, an America
Firster who campaigned in an
Uncle Sam suit, running as a
Republican, had 2 per cent.
On returns from 1902 of 4,400
precincts, Eisenhower had 316,-
$40 votes, or 81 per cent. DAILY
had 1883 or 2 per cent, and
Kefauver had 194.699 or 81 per
cent. Delayed Democratic re-
turns from a couple of hundred
precincts will increase the Ke-
fauver vote.
Vote Pleases President
President Eisenhower, at his
press conference today. smilingly
expressed his qualification at the
vote when questioned by a re-
porter who told the President it
indicated no farm revolt.
The reporter asked If the
President was astonished that
any one should vote for him-the
Presidents own comment at an
earlier press conference.
The President raised a laugh
when he asked the reporter If he
would be astonished under SINH
lar circumstances. He added
that he had always taken the
position that there's no super
man, no indispensable man. He
hoped. he said, he retained some
humility and modesty.
First in 20 Years
Indiana's presidential primary
was the first held in the State in
% years. The vote was light.
Apparently President Eisen-
hower's veto of the farm bill did
not set in motion a violent re-
volt against the Republican
Chief Executive in this Midwest
State. The Democrats had hoped
to make an impressive showing
in Indiana, although the State
has been rated predominantly
Republican.
Gov. George N. Craig, Re-
publican. Immediately claimed a
defeat for the Democratic Party
and for Senator Kefauver in par
ticular.
An Associated Press dispatch
quoted the Governor as follows:
1.-The anticipated farm revolt
failed to materialize. Farmers
went about their business and
didn't bother to vote, as they
would have done had they been
aroused. 1t is no secret that the
Democrats were attempting to
poll a big vote, as a rebuke to
the President and to provide
propaganda that Eisenhower is
weak in the farm areas. They
failed miserably because the vot-
ers knew the charges were false.
The farmers did not storm to
the polls in response to urgings
Iof Kefauver and Democratic
State Chairman Charles E

MOSCOW, July II R.-
Pravda suggested today that
Operation Alert" in the
United States was intended
to brighten Americans into
agreeing to higher OUTLAWS
for stockpiles of atomic
weapons.
The organ Of the Com
munist Party described the
civil defense drill as
strange exercises" and said
they were aimed at creating
IAN atmosphere Of war psy-
Ghosts"
This remark was similar
to comments which the
soviet press frequently mas
made in the past on the
subject of American civil
defense.
Pravda asked whether
Operation Alert" had not
been undertaken Gin order
to brighten Americans and
compel them to agree to
increased expenditures on
the stockpiling of atomic
weapons and to justify the
continuation of expert
mental explosions of Ameri-
can hydrogen bombs in the
Pacific"
Since the end of World
War II there have been no
publicized air raid drills in
the Soviet Union.

Compensation
Law on Slate

The House tomorrow will con-
slider a separate law for the
District dealing with Workmen's
Compensation, in the last Dis
trict Day of this session of Con-
gress.
The bill was reported favorably
from the House District Com
mittee some time ago, but Chair
man Mcmillan was unable to
get House action on it until the
House and Senate had acted on
a National bill.
This was a bill to increase
benefits to workmen under the
Longshoremen's and Harbor
Workers Act, which raised the
maximum benefits from $35 to
$54 a week, including covered
employees in the District. The
District was tied to the Long
Shoremen's Act years ago, be-
cause at that time the House
and Senate committees could not
agree on the terms of a separate
local law.
Since then repeated efforts
have been made to obtain a sep
arate law for District workmen,
mainly on the ground that con-
ditionS here are different from
those concerning harbor work.

RICHMOND, Va, July 81 (A),
The man whose task will be to
guide the operations of the State
hospital board is a quiet, soft
spoken State Senator who says
he's "going into the job with an
open mind"
Edward E. Wiley of Rich
mond, new chairman Of the hos
pital board, is familiar with the
operations of the mental hos
pital system by virtue of his
service in the State Legislature.
THE mental institutions are
overcrowded," he said. "They
lack personnel. We are going to
set our sights on better treat
ment for persons at the hos
pitfalls. We're going to see
whether the mental hospital Sys-
TEN is getting the best value for

of a Richmond drug firm and a
State Senator since 1852, was

New State Hospital Head
Brings Open Mind to Job

board members declined nominal
tions because of press of bust
ness.
Part of Mr.. Willey's educa-
ton in the operation of the
mental hospitals will involve a
visit to each of the six institu-
tons. He has visited each one
at some time in the past.
First stop on the new circuit
will be a two-day inspection of
the Lynchburg Training School,
target of much recent criticism
from the Lynchburg area chap
ter of the. Virginia Association
for Mental Health.
Call for Stiff Probe
The mental health chapter
has called for a thorough
going investigation" of condi-
tions by competent, outside au-
thorities. 1t has charged abuse
of patients and administrative
laxity at the hospital. These
accusations have been denied
by officials.
Mr.. Wiley has taken pains to
point out that his visit to Lynch
burg on August 7 and 8 with a
hospital board committee is not
to be construed as an investiga-
ton. He says it's simply a famil-
iarization tour.
The hospital boards interests
now center largely in the field of
patient care, since the 1856
Legislature removed the bust
ness administration of the men
tai hospitals from the boards
control and placed it in the
hands of an administrator di-
rectly responsible to the Gov
ernor.
Mr.. Wiley, a pharmacist and
past president of the Virginia
Pharmaceutic Association, is
known as a strong advocate of
better liaison between State and
local governments.
Entered Politics in AZ
As a political novice in 1850,
he led the ticket in the Rich
mond city council race. His ap-
pearance in public life dates
back only to 1947, when he was
appointed to a city tax study
commission.
He says he solicited neither
the appointment to the hospital
board, nor the Craftsmanship.
