'Kefouver Easy Winner,
Nixon Write-In Surprise

venson is officially entered in
that contest and, like Senator
Kefauver, has been campaigning
in. Minnesota.
Mr.. Stevenson's campaign
manager, James A. Finnegan.
pointed out that MIR. Stevenson
had not filed for the New Hamp-
shire primary. Mr.. Finegan said
he was very encouraged by the
number of votes Gov. Stevenson
received inasmuch as he was not
entered in the primary"
This was the second consecu-
tive time that Senator Kefauver
has successfully bucked the
Democratic Party organization
in New Hampshire. Four years
ago. it supported President Tru-
man against him and he cap
tured all the delegates.
The organization this year
backed Mr.. Stevenson. but failed
to come close to taking a dele
gate away from Senator Ke-
fauver. The Senator's eighth
place candidate was still some
q 900 votes ahead of Mr., Steven
sons front-running candidate.
Vote Called Significant
Gov. Lane Dwinell, a Nixon
said fatty that the
vote showed New Hampshire
wants Mr.. Nixon on the ticket
with President Eisenhower again
this year. He called the cut
pouring very significant"
The State G. O. P. chairman,
Judge William Treat, said, mo

the convention at San Francisco,

the bill. and they begin getting
mail asking them why.
Senator Green said there is
the general objection that you
are doing away with discussion. I"
The Hennings bill is in a par
liamentary position where it
could be taken up following the
farm bill and Senator john
son said there is a, posi-
bility an election bill will pass
before the Senate starts an
Easter recess, tentatively set to
run from March 20 to April 9
Although this will give Sena-
tor Hennings, Democrat of Mis-
souri,, the chance he has been
seeking to call up, his bill, it is
almost a foregone conclusion the
Senate will rewrite 1t to conform
to the new leadership measure.
Funds Ceiling Raised
Both measures raise the cell
ings on campaign contributions
to more realistic levels, as a
means of discouraging evasion.
che leadership bill is more lib
eral.
But the big difference is that
under the leadership bill, candi-
dates would have to file in
Washington only such reports
of expenditures in primaries as
are required by State laws,
whereas the Hennings bill would
apply the Federal ceilings to
both primaries and general elec-
tions.
In the TaftsHartley Act Con-
gress already has applied Fed
eral control to primaries, but
only in relation to expenditures
by labor unions, corporations or
national banks.
Supporters of the Hennings
bill argue that in one third of
the States victory in primary
is equivalent to election This
applies to Democratic primaries
in the South, Republican pri-
maries in some of the Northern
and Western States.

Republican Leader Knowland,
who introduced the new bill. to
find out what procedure they
want followed in handling it..
He will call another committee
meeting after the conference.
Senator Green said there was
considerable discussion in the
closed meeting of the problem
that confronts a committee when
a bill is referred to it with
more than a majority of the
Senate already listed as CO.
sponsors. The discussion was
not confined to the election bill
but to the practice generally.
In this case, the Rules Com
mittee already had reported to
the Senate the somewhat differ
ent Hennings election reform
bill.
Difference in Bills
There have been some ,indica-
tions the leaders may seek early
action by having the Senate take
up the Hennings bill and then
consider the leadership bill as an
amendment of substitute.
The main difference is that
the HenningS bill would apply
Federal controls to campaign
spending in primaries as we'll as
elections The leadership bill
would leave control of primaries
with the States, and only require
the filing in Washington of re-
ports required by State law.
For nearly a century the House
has had a rule forbidding joint
sponsorship of bills.
Senator Green told reporters
many questions about the prac-
tice of multiple sponsorship
were raised this morning. He
said there is question as to how
many of the IS have read the
election bill, and whether spon-
sorship means they favor it
exactly as written.
Other Factors Involved
He said it also gives rise to
an inference that Senators who
have not signed are opposed to

the Republican voters on Vice
President Nixon"
There was no precedent in
New Hampshire for a write-in
of yesterdays size. Politicians
usually feel the voters won't take
the trouble to pencil a candi-
dates name on the ballot.
Some Of them were comparing
this vote today to the write-ins
in 1852 which gave a gauge of
Mr.. Eisenhower's popularity in
a number Of States.

politically independent, inter-

it said.
Support Distributed
The votes for both Mr.. Nixon
and Senator Kefauver appeared
not to have come from any spe-
cial city or district of New
Hampshire. They were fairly
uniform throughout the State.
In 1852, Manchester alone-the
States biggest city-gave Sen
ator Kefauver enough margin to
win the preferential ballot.
! But this year, voters il. the
small back country hamlets as

solidly for both men.
In sweeping to their sided
delegate victories, Senator Ke-

trounced supporters of several
others who have been mentioned
as possible presidential candi-
dates.
In all, President Eisenhower

nomination.

Shifting to football for a mo-
ment, there is serious cogitating
over at Wakefield High about the
State championship next fall.
Not that the Warriors already
are clearing a spot in their tro-

needs seven Group opponents
to be eligible for the State crown

joins the Group ! class before
next season, Wakefield win have
only six on its schedule.

around town is Pete Labukas,

team in the winter. His
Pages have won three Of
their six games, already match
ling the number Of victories in
Pete's first season with them in

were lost this week. Seems there
are many members of Congress
who use q rotating system in
their appointments Of pages, and
the two star basketball players
mentioned by Labukas had to go
home after one months service.
The Pages practice only two
nights a week-Monday and
Wednesday-and on those days
they have pretty tight sched-
ule. They attend school from

floor Of Congress to about pm,
