THE POLITICAL MILL
COP. Closes Ranks in c Connecticut
By GOULD LINCOLN

supporters will join me In an
about effort to win the
State for the Republican
Party" Mr.. Alsop, replying,
said: Prom now on there are
no more Alsop men and no
more May men,"
The Republicans face a
tough fight in the fall. Mr..
AlSop must run against the
incumbent, Democratic Gov.
John N. Dempsey, and Mr..
Seely-Brown against either
Secretary Of Health, Educa-
ton and Welfare Abraham
Ribicoff or Representative
at-large Frank KowalSki.
Gov. Dempsey has no OPP
position for the gubernator-
ial nomination. Mr.. Ribicoff
has said he would be honored
by a senatorial nomination of
his party. Mr.. Kowalski has
been campaigning for months
for that nomination and he
and his supporters say he will
not give up, even if the State
convention, which opens July
Is, should nominate Mr.. Ribi-
coff. Mr.. Ribicoff is expected
to have the backing of the
Kennedy administration and
Democratic National and
State Chairman John Bailey.
Mr.. Kowalski will, his sup
porters say. force the call of
a primary election, and take
his cause to the Democratic
voters. Such a primary fight
might endanger Democratic
chances in November-parti-
cularly for the Senate seat
which the Democrats have
been confident of winning.
Mr.. Dempsey is not consider
ed a particularly strong can
didate anyway.
The KOwalski Argument
This column June 5 said:
"HEW Secretary Ribicoff will
have the senatorial nomina-
tion," and Mr.. Ribicoff is
today rated the strongest
vote-getter in the State"
John T. O'Brien, COORDINATION
of the Machinist Non-Parti-
san League, correctly stated
that Mr.. Ribicoff does not yet
have the nomination for
Senator. He also disputed
the statement that Mr.. Ribi-
coff is the strongest Demo-
cratic vote-getter in the
State, because Mr.. OBrien
said: Many people believe
that the strongest voteAgetter
is Representative Kowalski."
This belief, he said, is based
on the fact Mr.. KowalSki
polled 657,680 votes in 1860.
the highest vote ever racked
up by any Democrat in Con-
necticut, and higher than the
Kennedy vote for President
that year. Mr.. O'Brien also
called attention to the fact
that while Mr.. Ribicoff won
by a 268,000-vote majority
for Governor in 1858 over an
unknown" opponent, the
Ribicoff total vote in that
year was 100000 fewer than
Mr.. Kowalski's vote in 1860
and 100000 fewer than Mr..
Kowalski's vote in 1858,
against a very strong Re-
publican candidate"
These, presumably, are the
reasons the Kowalski forces
believe Cd that he has a
chance to win the convention
and 90 that he can win in a
primary. The Kowalski- Ribi-
coff contest obviously may
have a definite effect on the
Connecticut election in No
vember.

the fact that these were

can be explained.
They were seen just at
sunrise when they were being
struck by sunlight. This
means that the sky behind
them was dark. If you have
this peculiar optical condi-

there is no scattered light,
the sky is dark, and even

Instant Map Reproduction
An electrostatic expert
mental printing machine that
promises important advan-
tages for map reproduction is
being tested by the Army En-
gineer Mapping Research
Agency.
1t is designed to reproduce
topographic maps almost in
stantly from 70-mm. micro
film. The process projects
light through the microfilm
onto a moving roll of special
paper that is made light
sensitive by electrostatic en-
ergy. The image created by
the light is developed and
fixed in the machine. The
completed print is produced
instantaneously. 1t prints in
black and white or in color
and can reproduce type, line
drawings or photographs.
Although the machine
prints only one color at a
time it can be rewound and
rerun at any time. Maps of
standard military size can be
produced at a rate of about
1000 an hour. Conventional
printing, ink and plates are
entirely dispensed with. Re
printing and storage of maps,
it is predicted, soon will be
eliminated altogether.

Republicans in Connecti-
cut have closed ranks after a
State convention fight over
a gubernatorial nomination
as fiercely waged as that in
the recent Massachusetts,
Democratic convention over
q senatorial nomination,
Edwin H. May, jr., former
Congressman and COP.
State chairman, will not
force a primary election
against his successful OPP
ponent, John Alsop, for the
gubernatorial nomination.
Mr.. May has pledged his
strongest support to Mr.. Al
sop in the coming November
general election campaign.
In the final convention vote
for the gubernatorial nomin-
alton Mr.. Alsop defeated
Mr.. May, 337 to 317. Under
State law, if a candidate re-
ceives 20 per cent of the
convention vote he has the
privilege Of demanding a
primary election. Democrats
Ted Kennedy and Ed Nc
Cormack, however, will bat
tie it out for Senator in a
September primary in Mas
sachuSetts.
Lodge Bows Out
Shortly before Mr.. May
made his announcement,
John Lodge, former Con-
gresham, Governor and
Ambassador, who had been a
candidate for the Republic
can senatorial nomination
but lost to Representative
Seely- Brown by a much more
decisive convention vote, also
declared he would not de-
mand a primary. The Seely-
Brown nomination, which
came after Mr.. AlSop's vic
tory, was a surprise to many
who had believed that Mr..
Lodges wider experience
gave him the advantage.
The delegates, some of whom
had supported Mr.. May,
kicked over the traces. Per-
haps there had been too
much publicity to reports
that the COP. ticket would
be Alsop-Lodge. furthermore,
Mr.. Seely-Brown had cam
paigned actively for the
nomination after Senator
Prescott Bush, Republican.
announced he would not seek
to succeed himself. Mr.. Lodge
had not.
And sometimes Republic
cans do the unexpected. A
noticeable instance occurred
in the party's 1920 national
convention. There had been
a bitter fight for the presi-
dental n omina tion with
Lowden, Wood and johnson
the leading candidates.
Party leaders, meeting in the
famed "smoke-filled room, "
came up with Senator Hard
ing as a compromise candi-
date. At the same time, they
decided to nominate Senator
Lenroot of Wisconsin for
Vice President. After accept
ing Senator Harding. the
delegates; many desperately
disappointed, kicked over the
trace, placed Calvin Coolidge
in nomination from the floor
and overwhelmingly elected
him the vice-presidential
candidate.
Stating that a primary
fight might have a divisive
effect and weaken the COP.
Mr.. May pledged his own sup
port to Mr.. Alsop and said

None of the States would

he explained, but the votes
would be split by congress
sional districts, with each
citizen having the right to
vote for two electors-at-
large while the candidate
would be credited with the
electoral votes he gets from
the district he represents.

has inherent in it the danger
of "unscrupulous, selfish ele-
ments" taking control of the

ical power is now concen-

ed, "as recording a 50 ball
