Big Vote Expected
| A bigger vote in the Demo-
cratic primary will be inter-
preted by the Democratic :
iFarmer-Labor Party as a good
augury for the success of their
national ticket in November. In
the 1852 general election. ap-
proximately a million more votes
were cast than in the preSiden-
tial primary. Presumably the
same thing will happen this year,
although it has been estimated
the primary vote may be as
high as 100000. due to increased
population.
In 1852. Senator Hubert Hum
phrey was running as a favorite-
son candidate for the preSiden-
ltial nomination. His name stood
alone, along with his delegate
candidates, on the Democratic
primary ballot. Some 10000
'write-in ballots were cast for
Senator Kefauver. But there was
no contest to bring out the DFL
Party vote.
The boot is on the other leg
this year-with Mr.. Eisenhower
regarded as a shoe-in for the
Republican presidential nomina-
ton.
The Knowland-for- President
group provides little competition
and arouses little interest in this
primary. 1t may, however. add
to the difficulties that an Eisen-
hover ticket may have to face
in the general election.
For the Knowland hackers

Minnesota's conservative, hide
bound Republicans. Some of
them declare they have no more
use for President Eisenhower
than they have for any of the
New Deal-Fair Deal candidates

Nixon, but that Nixon would add
no strength to the Republican

Only once since 1888 years
ago-has Minnesota voted for a

hands" on election day unless
President Eisenhower discards
such proposals as public housing
construction and Federal appro-
Ipriations for schools.
Doubts on Eisenhower
John G. Alexander, real estate
operator here and a former Re-
publican member of the House,
who until recently was chairman
Iof the Knowland-for-P President
committee, went so far as to
intimate that if the conservative
Republicans, as represented by
his group. stayed at home on
election day, it was doubtful Mr..
Eisenhower could carry Mime
sofa.
The fact that Senator Know
lands now supporting President
Eisenhower's denomination and
reelection seems to make little
difference to his conservative
group. At a recent meeting of
the Knowland committee, Mr..
Alexander sought to have a res
olution adopted which would
commit the Knowland delegates,
if elected, to support an Eisen-
hover denomination while at the
same time proclaiming their de-
votion to conservative principles.
1t was defeated by one vote. A
substitute resolution was then
adopted committing the Know
land delegates to support con-
sentative principles, but COM

except Senator Knowland.
None of the Knowland candi-
dates for delegates t-large has
the slightest chance of being
elected. Mr.. Alexander, however,
voiced a hope that some of the
district delegate candidates would
win. The best chance to elect
a Knowland delegate, it is said,
lies in the fourth congressional
district, where former United
States Attorney Lewis L. Drill
is running on the Knowland
ticket.
Some of the other Knowland
candidates for district delegate
ARE highly regarded, for example.
Roy w. Larsen in the third
district, president of the Twin
City Savings and Loan Company
one of the largest companies of
that kind in the country.
Work to Get Out Vote
The Republican organization
is doing its best to get out the
vote next Tuesday, and will be
aided by the Republican work
shop, with an endless chain OF
telephone calls to urge people to
go to the polls.
Minnesota may prove one of
the most difficult States for Mr..
Eisenhower to carry next fall
The hazards for him lie in the
resentment among the farmers
because of low prices for their
products, and in the coldness
toward him among conservative
Republicans. The President car
Iried Minnesota four years ago
with a lead of 154,753 over Adlai
Stevenson. Experienced political
observers here estimate he is
likely to win here in November
with lead around $4,000. They
give him the edge because OF
his great personal popularity
with all classes, with the indie
pendents and some of the Demo-
lcrat-F armer-Laborites and with
the war veterans. Another bao
year for the farmers, they ad-
nit. might wipe out this advan-

Suit Against NIL
To Supreme Court

A brief asking that profess
sional football be declared a bus
mess subject to the antitrust
laws was filed yesterday with
the Supreme Court.
The brief was submitted by
counsel for William Radovich
former Southern California line
man who later played pro hall
in three different leagues. RADIO
vich lost a suit in lower Federal
courts for 105,0Oo damages from
the National Football League
and others.
Radovich charged in the suit
that the league and others
sought to monopolize interstate
commerce in the pro football
business, in a manner in viola
ton of the antitrust laws. In
particular, he said the defend
ants tied players to a particular
club and prevented them from
becoming free agents through
use of a reserve clause and a
blacklist.
It is his contention that the
NIL boycotted him because he
jumped from the Detroit Lion:
to the now-defunct Los Angeles
Dons of the old All America
Conference.

There was nothing unusual
about the groups of men hunch-

What it seemed to boil down
to was this Not all the coaches
had a free hand in selecting
their draft lists. To put it an
other way, almost all of them
relied on reports of their scouts,
giving the impression that the
talent detectives knew more
about the 81 prospects than the
coaches. And why not, since they
watch them play on Saturday
afternoons when most pre-
coaches are busy with plans for
the following days game.
One well-known coach, called
to name his choice for a particu-
lar round, turned to an aide and
asked, well, who've we got this

He was handed a typewriter
report which he perused with
unhurried care. Finishing that
he asked:
