Vote Exceeds
Predictions in
First Primary
Surprise Snowfall
Fails to Cut Turnout
In New Hampshire

CONCORD, N. H, Mar. 8
(AP.-New Hampshire voters
lined up in Unexpectedly large
numbers in several cities today
as the Nations first presiden-
tial primary election of 1860
got under way.
A surprise snowfall that
started shortly before dawn ap-
parently was having no effect
on the balloting.
Reports from the cities Of
Nashua, Claremont and Berlin
all described "heavier-than-
usual" voting. Cities and towns
open the polls at different
hours, ranging from 6 am. to
2 pm. (EST). The latest clos
ing hour of polls is 8 pm.
Tiny Towns Vote Early
Two tiny communities-with
a total of 10 votes - already
have cast and counted their
ballots.
In Millsfield, the four voters,
all Republicans, can't give their
ballots for President Nixon.
They wrote in the name Of
New Hampshire Gov. Wesley
Powell as their choice for Vice
President.
In Hart's Location, the elec-
torate gave Senator Kennedy
of Massachusetts, Democratic
principal in the election, four
votes. The other two went to
Mr.. Nixon. There were no
write-ins.
Nashua Vote Heavy
Nashua, the States second
largest city, saw almost 1000
votes cast in the first three
hours after the polls opened at
6 am. In the 1856 primary, the
city's total ballot was asia.
Nashua usually votes Demo-
cratic and the heaviest voting
today appeared to be in the
Democratic wards.
In Claremont. however, the
longest lines Of voters were in
two traditionally Republican
wards.
Observers in Berlin said the
vote there was heavy" as the
polls opened, but there was no
indication as to party prefer
ence. The sneak storm dumped
five inches of snow in the area.
Portsmouth, Lebanon and
Bedford reported moderate
sized balloting in the first
hours.
Skies Are Clearing
Skies were clearing over most
of the State by mid-morning.
If the apparently big vote
continued, the States total to-
day may exceed earlier esti-
mates of 100000 or more.
That is only a handful by
comparison with the millions
of ballots still to be cast in
forthcoming primaries. But po-
lltically, New Hampshire is a
midget with a heavyweight's
punch.
For today's election brings
the first actual indication of
voter sentiment into the presi-
Dental outlook. as distinct
from polls, straw votes and the
calculated optimism OF poll
ticians.

U.S.. Funds Lacking;
$l86 Million OKd
For Other Works
BY SAM EASTMAN
Star Stad Writer

Plans for several key sec
tions of Washington's planned
highway system have been
shelved because of lack of
Federal matching funds, Off
cials said today.
AS a result of the lack of
money. the Commissioners to-
day set aside a six-year public
works program for highways
pending revision of plans.
A $186 million capital out
lay program covering all other
city projects for the six-year
period beginning next July /
was approved by the Colnmis-
sioners.
81 Million in Items Added
This figure includes $132 mil
lion for general fund projects
and $54 million for public works
items in the remaining funds
water, sewer and Motor Vehicle
Parking Agency.
The Commissioners added
about 81 million in items to the
general fund proposals made
last September by their aides,
They left the recommendations
for projects under the three
special funds unchanged.
The siX-year program for
highways, as proposed last year,
totaled $262.9 million-$188.2 2
million representing Federal
aid money and STA million Dis
trict funds.
IS Million Less Expected
Today, Highway Director
Harold L. Aitken explained that
the District now expects to re-
celve SIS million less in Federal
aid than had been anticipated,
This is the result of a general
cutback in available highway
matching funds owing primarily
to the fact that Congress last
year raised the Federal gasoline
tax by only l cent instead of
Ia cents, as requested.
Mr.. Aitken said a number of
vital construction projects that
should be under way now have
been delayed indefinitely. The
most vital. he said, are:
l. The highway stretch from
Eleventh street to Fourth street
on the Southeast freeway.
2. The Southwest freeway
interchanges at South Capitol
street and at the Southwest
freeway tie-in with the Inner
Loop systems center leg.
The delay on these two
projects, Mr.. Aitken said, is
particularly crucial because OF
their timing in relation to con-
struction of the Washington
Channel crossing and the new
Fourteenth street bridge.
Because of having to shelve
the construction plans, he ex-
planned, the city now has no

Rights Test Vote Near,
But Won't End 7ieup
Night Calls
Vex Foes of
FiIibuster
BY j. A. O'LEARY
Star Stah Writer

The Senate appeared to be
approaching test vote on civil
rights today, after a night in
which the Southerners stepped
up their campaign to keep their
opponents awake with frequent
quorum calls.
If one or two amendments
are voted on, however, it will
not mean the filibuster has
been broken, but only that the
Southerners are cooperating
to get a test of strength.
The test. if it comes, is ex-
pected to show a majority
wants a moderate bill. But all
signs still indicate the Senate
will not pass a bill until after
the House acts next week. If
the House passes a moderate
bill the Senate may accept it,.
This would complete action in
Congress without long con-
ference between the houses.
Adjournment Taken
Senate Democratic Leader
johnson finally stopped the
rash of frequent quorum calls
at 4:05 am, with a surprise
motion to adjourn for seven
minutes.
This created a new "legis-
lative day" and required the
clerk to read the journal Of
day-to-day proceedings, which
had accumulated for more than
Ia week, 1t took one hour and
"a minutes, during which the
tired Northerners rested. Then
the talkathon resumed.
Senator johnson was not
sure at noon. there would be any
test vote today. The first test
probably will come on the
pending motion of Senator
Erwin, Democrat of North Car
olina, to reduce the penalties
in the administration bill for
obstructing or threatening to
interfere with a court school
desegregation order.
Senator johnson said ne

lieves Republican Leader Dirk.
sen feels the same way. The
amendment probably will
carry.
Eisenhower Hopeful
President Eisenhower told
Republican congressional lead
ers in a White House meeting
today that he hoped they would
continue the civil rights battle
until a reasonable" bill is
passed.
Senate Republican Leader
Dlrksen reported the Presi-
dents remark to newsmen. He
expressed confidence that the
Senate eventually will pass
such a measure.
Senator Dirksen said Mr.. Ell.
senhower had no suggestions
on the issue. But he said the
President reaffirmed his feel
ing that progress has to be
moderate"
Speaker Rayburn, mean
while, advised supporters of
the House civil rights DILL to-
day to hasten action on that
measure by remaining in the
House chamber during debate
starting Thursday. This will
discourage moves for time
consuming quorum calls.
Mr.. Rayburn said he will
confer with leaders on both
sides of the civil rights battle

Dam Break Laid
To Weak Rock

PARIS. Feb. %, (AP).-A
weakened rock formation was
responsible for the Frejus Dam
disaster which killed 344 people,
the newspaper Paris Presse re-
ported yesterday.
The newspaper said this was
the conclusion of a preliminary
report ordered by the govern
ment. The final report is due
in May. The report places blame
on no one, the paper said.
1t said the gracefully arched
Malpasset Dam, one Of the
thinnest in the world, gave way
on its left bank last December
because of changes in the rock
to which the dam was anchor
ed. This rock formation had
been previously studied by en-
gineerS and pronounced safe,
the report said. but torrential
rains caused the rock to "age
suddenly" a process engineers
say is extremely rare.
When the dam broke, it sent
millions of tones of water roar
ing down on the Riviera town
Of Frejus. Since then, rescue
workers have found 344 bodies
and 70 people are still listed as
missing.

Politicians are supposed to
be pretty good at picking out
issues for an election cam
paign, but sometimes they
tumble the ball. 1t is begin
ming to look now as if that's
what is going to happen to
the Democrats on the mis-
sile gap" and defense issue.
For the critics can't have
1t both ways-they can't be
in the position of urging the
American government to &C
celerate its missile program
and at the same time declare
that nuclear tests must be
abandoned and disarmament
negotiations speeded up.
A political party can't be
arguing persuasively for
more defense on the theory
that war is imminent in the
next two or three years and
at the same time be blaming
the administration for not
bringing about disarmament.
In fact. some Democrats have
insisted that the United
States should abandon its
nuclear testing, whether or
not the Russians agree to
inspection.
What will the mood of the
electorate be next autumn?
Will the public be so scared
Of the prospect of war that
1t will wish to punish the ad-
ministration in power for not
having built enough" mis-
siles for our armed forces?
Will the voters believe the
President when he says cur
overall defense is adequate
as a deterrent against attack
and that we are not relying
on the missile alone or on
any one weapon? He isn't
running for reelection and
will, therefore. WELD a pow
