campaigning, plus fewer local
scraps to bring out a @. o. p.
vote, as reasons why a bigger
plurality for Senator Kennedy
would be meaningless as an in
dicator Of how November voting
might 60.
Senator Kennedy said the
late campaign being waged for
Mr.. Nixon is the most inten-
sive - and expensive ii in the
history of Hoosler presidential
primaries. He said that in the
light Of this and the States
historical Republicanism, a big
ger vote for Mr.. Nixon could
not be viewed as a Kennedy
setback.
Moral Victories"
Thus both parties sought to
put themselves in position to
claim any kind of a close vote
as at least a moral victory.
No one doubts that Senator
Kennedy will make a far better
showing against Mr.. Nixon than
Senator Kefauver of Tennessee
did against President Eisen-
hover in the 1856 primary. Mr..
Eisenhower got 351, ,913 votes to
Senator Kefauver's 242,842. AS
in this years primary, neither
had significant opposition.
Aside from the test of popu-
lar vote-getting power, all that
the primary does is bind the

the critical point in the battle
for the presidency will come in
the closing weeks. Of the cam
paign. Mr.. Knight quoted him
as saying:
This is going to be a close
election, whichever candidate
wins, and a close election is
usually decided in, the last
three to four weeks of the cam
paign.
THAT is why I want to be
as fresh both physically and
mentally as possible in that
period. I think 1t would be
most unwise to waste good
ammunition now that could be
much more effective later when
it really counts"
Mr.. knight reported that
Mr.. Nixon, unlike some Of his
supporters, is not disturbed by
indications in recent polls that
the Vice Presidents popularity
has declined since last summer
Samplings taken after the
Nixon trip to the Soviet Union
and Poland in 1859 indicated
that his prestige was at a very
high level.
Questions Significance
The editor said Mr.. Nixon
commented:
II happen to believe that
the fluctuations in polls at this
time and the news various can
didates make are not nearly as
significant as some political
observers seem to think they

Police Check Conflicting Stories
On Maryland Shooting Incident

Police last night were check
Ing conflicting versions Of
events leading up to gunplay
In which two Washington men
were seriously wounded.
Two Maryland youths we're
held under $4,000 bond each
on charges of assault with in
tent to kill in the Southeast
Washington shooting affray.
The Washington victims and
an uninjured companion said
the shooting stemmed from
unwelcome attentions by the
Maryland youths to the 1s-
year-old girl friend Of one of
the Washington men. The
Maryland youths denied they
had bothered the girl.
The wounded men are
Charles Sloan, 81, Of 444 Mel
Ion street Sc. and Charles

avenue Sc. Mr.. Sloan was
wounded in the right chest by
a bullet which ripped into his

the abdomen. They were listed
IN satisfactory condition at
District General Hospital.
Probationer Charged
1t. Charles Burns of the
Homicide Squad said John G.
Pyles, 18. of the $500 block of
Buchanan street, Maryland
Park, admitted firing the shots
but implied he was impelled
by fear. Pyles is now on pro-
baton after 10 months in Jail,
on a breaking and entering
charge. Arrested and charged
with him in yesterdays shoot
ing was George King of the
500 block of Sixty-ninth street,
Seat Pleasant.
The youths were captured
by Prince Georges County
police on the Marlboro pike
less than an hour after the
shooting. They were taken to
Seat Pleasant where Washing
ton police delivered a warrant.
They then waived extradition
and came into the District for
arraignment.
A l4-year-old girl, who was
with the Maryland boys when
county police caught up with
them, was returned to her
Washington home and released.
During questioning, she told
the same story as her COM
panions.
Stories at Variance
Detectives Leo Halloran and
T. P. Denton Of the Eleventh
Precinct, who did most Of the
questioning, got these conflict
ing versions Of what actually
happened:
The incident began at a serv-
Ice station near Eddie Leon
ards Restaurant at 2507
Good Hope road Sc. about 2::30
am. the detectives said.
The Washington men and
their dates, Miss Mary Ann
Kennedy. 10, of 1928 Second
street Sc. and a younger girl,
were eating in the restaurant
when Miss Kennedy excused
herself to go to a rest room
at the nearby service station.
Miss Kennedy said one of the
Maryland youths, King, grabbed
her arm and said, "I'll walk you
to the bathroom. She said she
pulled her arm away and ig--
nored him. but told of the Incl
dent when she returned to the
restaurant.

Mr.. Nixon referred to an OBJ
servation in Mr.. Knights col
umn Of April 8. He told the
editor:
"You put your finger on a

Gated that I must be liberal

Morse Sees
Severe Trials
In Next Decade

FREDERICK, Md, April 80
(AP).-Senator Morse of Ore
gon today asked Democrats to
nominate a presidential candi-
date who win lead in solutions
for racial problems and the
threat of nuclear devastation
Senator Morse, who is seek
ing Democratic presidential
delegates from Maryland, said
in a speech for a Jefferson
Jackson Day dinner that the
next decade will bring the
American people their most
severe trials in both foreign
and domestic affairs"
On Presidential Choice
Asserting the party's presi-
Dental nominee should not just
be a good candidate but an
outstanding President, he said
In foreign affairs we must
put aside the notion that by
threatening nuclear war, ouI
adVersaries will be intimidated
into peaceful settlement OF
dispute.
"The fact is we do not have
the military capacity to simply
threaten Russia into submis-
sion. nor Communist China,
either"
He urged use of the United
Nations and the Organization
of American States for settle
ment Of present international
disputes through the rule OF
law.
Racial segregation is a
dying social form" Senator
Morse said. The issue is
whether 1t will die easily, OF
die hard. The Nation needs
leadership in the White House
which will offer genuine as
sistance from the top in this
transition"
He held the Eisenhower ad-
ministration responsible fol
high interest rates and tar
loopholes which he said have
favored big interests.
Herb Fedder, Senatol
Morse's Maryland campaign
manager. said the candidate
has at least two stops in the
State next week. One i,
planned Wednesday at John,
Hopkins University. The Other
is set for Tuesday at a Prince
Georges County rally.

service station where they found
the teen-agers and an argument
began.
At that point, the detectives
were told, Pyles pulled a .22-
caliber revolver out of the glove
compartment Of the car he and
King were using. loaded the
gun and fired twice in the air.
Then the Maryland youths
leaped in their car and drove
away.
The main variance in the
story up to that point is that
King insisted to police that he
merely said, "Hi" to Miss Ken
nedy and that she responded
with Hi"
When the Maryland youths
drove away, the District men
and Mr.. Disharoon left their
dates and drove of in pursuit.
At Naylor road, near Southern
avenue Sc, the pursuerS pulled
in front Of the other car, fore
ing it to stop. .....
Hears Shots Fired
Mr.. Disharoon told police
and reporters that Mr.. Kauff- =
man and Mr.. Sloan got out of
their car first and started run
ming toward the other car. He
said he heard the shots as he
ran behind the Maryland car.
I saw the gun pointed at
me and saw Sloan and Kauff-
man on the ground" Mr.. Dish
aroon said. Kaufman said to
me, Get the tag number but
the boy who did the shooting
said. Don't look at the tag
number or I'll kill you.' He
made me walk in front of him
and I put my hands in the air.
I saw the tag number out of
the corner of my eye"
He said that when Pyles.
King and the girl pulled away
in their car, other cars drew
up and he sent motorists for
help. He said he felt respon-
sihle in a way because I drove
the car down there"
Opens Car Door
The Eleventh Precinct detec-
tives said Pyles, King and the
14-year-old girl told a different
story of the shooting. They
quoted King as saying they had
locked the doors when they
saw their pursuers coming at
them but one of the Washing
ton men got up on the hood
and tried to kick the windshield
in while the other managed to
open the car door and pulled
him out.
The detectives said Pyles tolc
them that when he saw King
on the ground, he started tt
run away but the others chased
