Women dominate primary results in Eastern states
By MIKE SILVERMAN Associated Press Writer In a night of triumph for female politicians, Maryland voters launched the career of a Kennedy daughter and set up the nation’s second women-only Senate race, while Connecticut Republicans bucked party leaders to nominate lawmaker Julie Belaga for governor. Other results from Tuesday’s primaries in nine states and the District of Columbia showed New York Democrats putting Bella Abzug ahead in a comeback bid and Arizona superintendent of public instruction Carolyn Warner leading for the Democratic nomination tc succeed Gov. Bruce Babbitt. Vermont’s Democratic Gov. Madeleine Kunin was unopposed for nomination to a second term. “We think Sept. 9 is a real breakthrough,” Celinda Lake of the Women’s Campaign Fund said in Washington early today. “It’s going to put us in very good shape for November. It’s part of the coming of age of our women candidates.” In other highlights from the busiest primary day of 1986, Minnesota Gov. Rudy Perpich fended off a Democratic challenge by St. Paul Mayor George Latimer; former Vermont Gov. Richard Snelling won the GOP race to oppose Sen. Patrick Leahy, and consumer activist Mark Green defeated millionaire John Dyson for a chance to face New York’s GOP Sen. Alfonse D’Amato. The Minnesota race appeared closer than polls had indicated. With nearly half the precincts reporting, Perpich had 132,651 votes or 50.6 percent, and Latimer had 124,399 votes or 47.4 percent, with three others dividing the rest. The most heartening results for women came in Maryland, where former White House aide Linda Chavez and Rep. Barbara Mikulski crushed male competitors to win the Republican and Democratic nominations for Senate. The seat, being vacated by retiring GOP Sen. Charles Mathias, is seen as crucial in the battle for control of the Senate, where Republicans hold a 53-47 edge. With 99 percent of the vote counted, Ms. Mikulski had 343,432 votes or 53 percent in an eight-candidate field that included Rep. Michael Barnes, second with 189,531 votes or 29 percent, and Gov. Harry Hughes, third with 85,288 votes or 13 percent. On the Republican side, Chavez had 97,421 votes or 73 percent, and the closest of her 10 opponents was Michael Schaefer, who had 16,327 votes or 12 percent. Chavez, claiming her victory, immediately attacked her rival as a “left-of-center-liberal who represents the failed policies of the past. The nation’s only other Senate race pairing two women was in Maine in 1960, according to officials in the Senate historian’s office, when Republican Sen. Margaret Chase Smith, since retired, defeated Democrat Lucia Cormier. In Maryland’s 2nd District, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, the daughter of the late Robert F. Kennedy, won the Democratic nomination to oppose first-term GOP Rep. Helen Delich Bentley. Mrs. Townsend, the first female member of the Kennedy family to seek office and the first of her generation, defeated Linda B. Robinson, a follower of political extremist Lyndon Laßouche Jr., and Morris C. Durham, an engineer with the State Aviation Administration. Next Tuesday, Mrs. Townsend’s brother, Joseph P. Kennedy II seeks the Democratic nomination in the Massachusetts congressional district once represented by thenlate uncle, John F. Kennedy. Mrs . Abzug, an outspoken feminist who served three terms in Congress from Manhattan in the 19705, claimed victory as she held to a slim lead in over three rivals in suburban Westchester County’s 20th District. With 97 percent of precincts reporting, Mrs. Abzug had 36 percent, or 9,243 votes. Her closest opponent, Oren Teicher, had 34 percent, or 8,774 votes.

Bias probe attorney is defeated UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (AP) Prince George’s County State’s Attorney Arthur A. Marshall, Jr., lost his race for renomination to Alex Williams Tuesday in a race marked by criticism of Marshall’s handling of the investigation into the cocaine-related death of basketball star Len Bias. Williams, 38, a Howard University law professor, got 30,891 votes in final, unofficial returns to Marshall’s 28,845 votes. The primary loss ends Marshall’s 25-year tenure as the chief prosecutor in Prince George’s County. The challenger had blasted Marshall’s high profile in the continuing grand jury investigation into the events surrounding the death of Bias, a former AllAmerican at the University of Maryland who collapsed of cocaine intoxication June 17. “It has been ... clear from the outset of this tragic episode that Marshall deliberately engineered a trial by media for the sole purpose of keeping his name in the headlines,” Williams said a week before the election. Marshall has been frequently before the media discussing the grand jury investigation, which so far has resulted in three indictments on drug charges.

Fort Campbell crash kills three
FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. (AP) The Tennessee National Guard and the Air Force will investigate the fiery crash of a guard transport plane here that killed three crewmen and injured two others. Capt. Dan Schmidt, a Fort Campbell spokesman, said the C-130 Hercules with the crew of five from the 118th Tactical Airlift Command in Nashville crashed at the fort’s air field about 2:10 p.m. CDT Tuesday. Adjutant General Carl Wallace of the Tennessee National Guard in Nashville said the plane had completed a routine training mission that included a tactical air drop over Fort Campbell and was practicing “touch-and-go” landings when it crashed. “During one of those touch-and-

goes, something happened, we don’t know what,” Wallace said. David Mosely, a trucker driving past the fort, said he saw the fourengine, turboprop plane start down at a steep angle. He said it appeared to strike something, such as a tree, because “the back end of the plane flipped over the front end.” “It just turned into a ball of fire and smoke (with) pieces flying everywhere,” Mosely said. “A helicopter landed right next to it... and the smoke was so thick the helicopter disappeared, landed, was on the ground for maybe a minute and took back off.” The 436th Military Airlift Wing Detachment No. 1 took control of the
