Kefouver Tops Nixon and Kennedy
In Trial Runs of Presidential Polls

There is o miracle of sorts
at work in our politics today
that could be classed, with
some literary license, among
the fables of the country
boy against the city slickers.
Though Senator Estes Ke-
fauver, the lanky guy out Of
Tennessee. is not exactly the
country boy type, he can be
made to 1T the part and
serve our purposes because
of the contrasts and circunl-
stances in this tale Of three
men.
The contrast is with two
younger men who are
running like mad. and like
Madison avenue, for Presi-
dent. To wit, q Republican,
Vice President Richard M.
Nixon, and a Democrat, Sen
ator John Kennedy Of Mas
sachusetts, who was noSed
out by Senator Kefauver
for the Vice Presidential
nomination at last years
Chicago Democratic conven-
ton. Messrs. Nixon and
Kennedy are in the glamour
class, certainly.
The miracle is that the
Tennessee mountaineer is
running ahead. If slightly.
Of both the younger men in
DR.. Gallup's popularity poll
for President, though he is
by now old hat at this run
ning-for-President business
and might be considered an
also-ran after two times out.
In trial runs against the
Vice President and Senator
Kennedy he was the winner.
Senator Kefauver is doing
this all on his own, by him
self, Just tending to his knit
ting here. The other two, as
we know, have at their COM
mand the modern techniques
for building up personality,
the copywriters and photog-
raphers, that now are avail
able in our more widely cir
culated slick magazines. as
well as the support Of power
full persons, in each instance,
Of wealth and influence.
To have Senator Kefauver
getting along as well as he is
on his own is consoling to
those who abhor this new age
Of synthetic creation Of fig-
ures in our politics. It has be-
come a new industry in our
country. Among its services is
TO tailor" as the expression
is, an ambitious candidate so
that he can be generally
pressing. The result is a
character" for politics sake
that sometimes does not bear
much resemblance to the
original as he has been
known.
II you know anything
about our politics today, par
ticularly as 1t is affected by
powerful economic interests,
you would know that no big
magazine or advertising COM
pany is likely to do anything
to build UP Estes Kefauver.
He is not likely to be found
on the cover Of any magazine
nor the subject of the ia
miliar build-up essays inside.
The trouble with him is
that he has been curious
about the wrong subjects,
and that has put him in the
class Of the country boy whom
certain powerful interests
want to keep in the country,
or at least not near the
White House.
For example, he Is anath-
ema TO the utilities, among
other big interests. To their
way Of thinking, Estes Ke-
fauver has devoted too much

ANNAPOLIS. Mar. 5 (P.-The
Maryland Legislature was of
and running today in debate on
the proposal to shift Pimlico's
racing to Laurel.
The lawmakers received a bill
last night which would concen-
trate 80 days of racing at Laurel.
Although the Pimlico meetings
would be conducted separately
improvement funds which each
track IS required to set aside
would be used to expand the
facilities at Laurel.
This plan is expected to run
head-on into opposition from
officials of Bowie, Maryland

This became evident after
Bowie was reported to have lined
up prominent State officials as
lobbyists who would oppose the
bill at legislative hearings.
The lobbyists for Bowie re-

and former judge of the State
Court Of Appeals.
Amid all the brio -bracs

plan to close Pimlico, the State
