new ENGLAND DEMOCRATIC RISE
CHECKED BY COP RESURGENcE

Boston - The Democratic tide
which has been rising in New
England in recent years has been
at least partially checked by a
Republican resurgence at the polls.
Although Sen. John F. Kennedy
captured 20 of the areas 40 cleo
toral notes.-the first Democrat to
win any Electoral College support
in New England since 1948-t h e
COP wiped out the Democratic
majority in the regions delegation
to Congress.
In the 86th Congress, New Eng
land has 10 Democratic represen-
tatives and 9 Republicans. This
year the COP picked up two seats
each in Maine and Connecticut and
the lone seat from Vermont TO
bring the lineup in the forthcom-
ing 87th Congress to 14-14.
The Republicans captured the
governorship of Massachusetts, and
the Democrats took over the gov
errors mansion in Rhode Island
to leave the gubernatorial lineup
unchanged at four Republicans and
two Democrats. There was no
change in the senatorial break
down as three COP senators won
reelection and the Democrats held
on to their one seat which was
up this year.
Here is the state-by-state pic.
ture:
Maine - Incumbent COP Sen.
Margaret Chase Smith easily won
reelection, defeating Lucia Cor
mier, minority leader Of Names
House of Representatives, in the
nations first all-woman senatorial
contest.
In the gubernatorial race, Gov.
John H. Reed (R) piled up $4,000
majority to defeat Democratic Rep.
Frank M. Coffin. The Democrats
captured the governorship six years
ago for the first time in modern
history and held II until the death
Of Gov. Clinton A. Clauson . year
ago. At that time Reed, State Sen
ate majority leader, took over.
Republicans Peter A. Garland
and Stanley r. Topper won two
previously Democratic House seats
and the COP held on to Names

So. African Govt.
Will Retain Tough
Policy for Blacks
BY LYNN HEINZERLING

JOHANNESBURG, South AT
RIGA, Up - Government officials
served notice today they will
press their police drive against
Negro 'inciters and intimidators'
until South Africa's work boycott
is crushed.
Brig. c. J. Els, assistant national
police commissioner, warned in a
newspaper statement:
eve will not rest until we have
rooted them all out"
Police moved into an African
hostel at Lamontville this morn
ing and confiscated clubs, axes,
picks, sharpened pieces of steel
and three guns. Negroes - the
police called them "agitators and
intimidators" = had held the hos
tel near Durham on the east coast
since Monday night. The take
over was accomplished without
violence.
Last night in Lamontville one
African was shot dead and four
wounded as police battled crowd
of 1000 who were trying to take
reprisals against Negroes return
ing from work.
Appeals for the government to
negotiate with responsible Negro
leaders and to moderate its strict
racial policies came from leaders
of business, church and the oppo-
sition United Party. M. d. De Wet
Mel, National Administrator of
Bantu Negro Administration,
said in speech that South AT
rica's present racial policy is the
right one and it will continue to be
followed by the government"
Underlying its determination to
give no ground, the government
won overwhelming Senate approx
al Of a bill to outlaw the two
leading Negro political organiza-
tions, the Pan-Africanist Con-
gress and the more moderate At
rican National Congress.

Canadian Skywatchers
Say Sputnik III Is Down

OTTAWA, Up - Canadian de-
Tense officials said they believe
the Russians Sputnik III plum
meted to earth today.
A radar unit in Saskatchewan
spotted the Soviet space vehicle
just after midnight only 80 miles
above the earth. The 3,000-pound
satellite, shot into orbit May Is,
1858, was picked up on an 86-foot
radar dish at Prince Albert.
Officials of Canada's Defense
Research Board said the equip
ment should have recorded the
satellite again at about 7 am. but
Sputnik III was not spotted again
and officials said the satellite
either entered the earth's atmos-
phere and burned up or it crashed.
The Boston Space Tracking CEN
ter of the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology predicted earlier
this week that the life of Sputnik
III would end some time We'd
nesday morning. When the satel-
lite was launched, Russian scien-
fists said it would probably re-
main in orbit indefinitely.

Kennedy Captures
Crucial Wisconsin
Primary Vote

MILWAUKEE, Up - Victory
over a formidable opponent in the
Wisconsin primary election put
new punch and power today be-
hind Sen. John Kennedy's bid for
the Democratic Presidential NOM
ination.
The result was clear-cut, but
not as big as his aides had hoped.
The election demonstrated, Ken
nedy claimed, that he can attract
votes among the farmers, labor
unions and non-Catholics.
Kennedy, a Massachusetts, Cath
Ole, defeated Sen. Hubert Hum
phrey of Minnesota, Protestant.
For years, Humphrey has cham
pioned the midwest farmers. In
Tuesdays election, he was sup
ported by top leadership of the
Wisconsin AFL-CIO.
Vice President Nixon, I'M
opposed in the Republican pri-
mary, did not come into the hard
fought campaign. He ran third.
With 3,428 of 1856 precincts
reported, unofficial tabulations
showed: Kennedy 474,023; Hum
phrey 1863, 442; Nixon 342,851.
This gave Kennedy slightly
more than Sc per cent of the Dem
ocratic vote
1t also allocated 20 Wisconsin
delegate votes in the Democratic
National Convention to Kennedy
and 10 to Humphrey.
Coming on the heels of his spec
tacular sweep in New Hampshire
last month, this was Kennedy's
second straight victory in an i'm
portant Presidential primary.
Kennedy said he was delighted
with the result.
Humphrey said the election
caused him no pain.
81 suppose numerically I'm the
defeated candidate" he said,
''but if I'm defeated 1 certainly
don't hurt. In light of the predic-
tons made, we have every reason
to believe we did we'll"
The vote for Nixon also was
open to Interpretation. He had no
opposition to stir COP interest
and he did not campaign in Wis
cOnSin.

Western Conferees Urge
Reds to Quit Sailing
At Geneva Talks
BY MICHAEL GOLDSMITH

GENEVA, LR - The Western
powers urged Soviet Deputy For
eign Minister Valerian Zorin to-
day to seek new instructions
from Moscow to get the dead
locked donation disarmament con-
ference moving.
French Delegate Jules Moch said
the West expects some sign of
Soviet willingness to discuss con-
crete disarmament measures and
corresponding controls.
He reiterated that the Soviet
plan for total world disarmament
within four years is completely
unrealistic and unacceptable to
the West in any form as basis
for the discussions.
Zorin, who has turned down the
Vests plan, gave no indication
he intended to ask for new in
structions. He repeated his de-
mand for Western approval Of the
Soviet plan.
A Western source told newsmen
there was no hope of emerging
from the present stalemate with
out a change Of the Soviet posi-
ton. He said the conference prob
ably will have to be adjourned at
the end of the month, leaving it
up to the Big -Four summit con-
ference opening in Paris May Is
to break the ice.

Kennedy's Midwest
Triumph Doesn't
Phase Opponents
BY JACK BELL

WASHINGTON, R-Sen. John
Kennedy took measured - but
not decisive step toward the
Democratic Presidential nomina-
ton by winning Tuesdays Wis
consin Democratic primary.
Vice President Nixon favorably
surprised some of his closest sup
porters by his ability to draw a
party vote in an unexciting, I'M
opposed Republican primary in
which he refused to camaign.
Sen. Hubert Humphrey kept
himself politically alive in the
Democratic contest. He pointed his
future campaign toward a bone
crushing showdown in the May 10
West Virginia primary The poll
teal ingredients that go into the
crucible there may be far differ
ent from those in Wisconsin.
For Kennedy, his capture of 20
of Wisconsin's convention votes
furnished satisfactory evidence
he could command party support
in the crucial Midwest as well as
in his home New England stamp
ing ground
But it was not the sweep that
Kennedy would have liked. Hum
phrey ran behind but respec-
tably so. Humphrey proved he is
the champion of the kind of farm
ers who inhabit the western areas
of Wisconsin which adjoin his
home state of Minnesota.
Kennedy got the industrial First
Wisconsin District, a tribute to his
apparently superior pull with Or
ganized labor. He took the eastern
side of Wisconsin where the Ro-
man Catholic vote is strong. He
ran well in normally Republican
areas.
This division of the spoils did
Kennedy no good in his attempts
to mute the issue raised by his
Catholicism. Instead, it empha-
sized that he was strongest
where the Catholics were most
numerous.
1t generated the suspicion that
Republicans ignored their own
primary and crossed over to vote
for him as the man they regard
as the easiest Democrat to beat
in November.
