BERLIN, June 9 (AP).-The
United States sharply protested
to the Russians today over the
shooting in connection with the

The protest was made in a

Gen. Watson charged that

Gen. Watson blamed the re-

squarely on the East.
II am gravely concerned
about the situation" Gen. Wat

causing death and injury to in

LOS ANGELES, June 9.-At
least two of the three John
Birch Society members who are
running for Congress on the
Republican ticket in California
are slated for defeat in No
vember, according to the pri-
vate analysis of informed lead
ers of both parties.
Facing overwhelming odds
are Representative John Rous-
selot. who is battling Assembly
man Ronald Brooks Cameron in
the 25th district. and H. L.
(Jack) Richardson, who faces
ASSemblyman George E. Brown,
jr.. in the new goth district.
The third Bircher, Represent
alive Edgar w. Hiestand is
rated no better than an even
bet to withstand the challenge
from Los Angeles City Council
man Everett B. Burkhalter.
The problem facing the three
men is only partly their men,
bership in the John Birch So
ciety. More important is the
fact that their districts are
among those gerrymandered
by the Democratic controlled
Legislature to defeat Republic
cans.

Mr.. HieStand. for example,
defeated Mr.. Burkhalter han
Oily 10 years ago. But now his
district boundaries have been
Iredrawn to boost the Demo-
cratic share of the registered
voters to 60.3 per cent.
The rule of thumb in Cali
fornia is that when the Demo-
cratic registration lead passes
81 per cent. the odds begin to
shift against the Republican
contender.
Mr.. Rousselot's district has
been redrawn to produce a

is 63.3 per cent Democratic in

Robert c. Weaver Is President
Kennedy's present choice to
succeed Abraham Ribicoff as
Secretary of Health, Education
and Welfare.
He repeatedly has not offered
the job to Mr.. Weaver. But he
has told close associates that
he will.
The President reportedly
believes the controversy IN
Congress this year over creation
Of an Urban Affairs Depart
ment, in effect, committed him
to Mr.. Weaver for the HEW
job. His position is based, too,
on his respect for the 55-year-
old Negro as an executive and
q man.
The HEw post will become
vacant when Secretary Ribicoff
resigns, probably in July, to
run for the Senate.
Mr.. Weaver is under pressure
to reject a cabinet post should
one be offered him.
Some Negro leaders want
him to remain as administrator
Of the Housing and Home FL
nance Agency. They think he
can most effectively fight racial
discrimination in housing by
running the HHFA.

By PAUL HOPE
Star Staff Writer

Maryland Democrats began
picking up the pieces today
while the Republicans were
preparing to capitalize on the
Tuesday split in their oppo-
nents' ranks.
Gov. Tawes, a lifelong po-
htical pacifier, who collected
only 43 per cent of his party's
vote to win denomination, was
trying to get his party back to-
gether after one of the bit
terest primary campaigns in
Maryland history.
Frank Small. jr., the Repub-
lican nominee, appealed to
voters. in a victory statement,
ito clear the putrid air" sur
rounding State politics.
"The present cesspcol in
Maryland has revolted Demo-
Gratis and Republicans alike"
he said. The only way. to clean
things up. is to elect a Republic
can in November, he declared.
Denies He'll Quit
Mr.. Small was rusy denying
that he will withdraw and let
the Republicans select former
Gov. Theodore r. McKeldin to
try to whip Gov. Tawes in
November.
THAT rumor was pumped up
during the primary" Mr.. Small
said. I'm not getting off the
ticket for anyone"
Mr.. McKeldin also said there
was nothing to the story. But
he indicated he would consider
running If Mr.. Small happened
to drop out for some reason.
Mr.. McKeldin was one of
the first to rub his hands in
glee at the ability of Gov.
Tawes to collect only 43 per
cent Of the Democratic votes.
Gov. Tawes received 177,O19
votes compared to a combined
total Of 243,023 cast for chal-
lengers George P. Mahoney and
David Hume.
Need Democrats Votes
Republicans have always had
to pick UP q large portion Of
registered Democrats to win.
The registration is more than
2 to / Democratic.
Mr.. McKeldin managed to
make Republicans out Of DEM
ocrats in 1850 and 1854. He
made no bones about viewing
the Mahoney-Hum votes in
Tuesdays Democratic primary
as Republican in November.
While Gov. Tawes is trying
to solidify his party for Novem-
ber, he also faces a difficult
task in building new alliances
in the General Assembly, If he
is reelected in November.
The makeup Of the General
Assembly will be considerably
different when it convenes
next January.

Of Baltimore was upset, and

dates nominated for the 29
Senate seats in Tuesdays pr!-
