Fewer Candidates In Congress Races Only 11 Races In Indiana This Year s Indianapolis, March 28.—(UP)— The curtain fell on the Indiana congressional primary candidate filing period today with fewer i nominating races created than anytime since 19g0, and fewer 'candidates in the field than anytime in at least 34 years. \' ' There are only 11 races this "time. i < Only 41 candidates filed for 22 nominations on, the Republican and Democratic tickets in Indiana’s 11 districts. Among them were the nine Republicans and two Democrats now in tjie Hoosier delegation to the house of sentatives, and 32 hopefuls seeking to unseat them. 4 Six GOP incumbents will win autoihamtic renomination, barring opposition n the form of mailed declarations postmarked before last midnight and received today or toymorrow in secretary of state Leland Smith’s office. Five Democrats also were unopposed at the deadline and will advance to the November electiqn without half trying. Primary records were studied back to 1920, and in none of the 17 held since that year has there been so small a field. The nearest to it was in 1920, when 44 candidates filed and created 10 rtices. The average field between 1920 and 1950 was 61, an dthe number ran up as high as 93. in 1932, when there were 20 races in 11 of 12 districts. j This time, barring mail entries to change the Picture, both the Democratic and Republican candidates are unopposed in three of the 11 districts—the ; second, fifth and sixth. Automatic nominations on both tickets in as many as three districts hasn’t occurred since 1920. The 1952 primary ( attracted 23 Republicans and 18 Democrats. In the last- 32 years, the Democrats never had fewer than 21 candidates in the field before, although 1 in the similarly quiet year of 1920 the Republican contest drew only 15 ho’pefuls. With only 11 races this time, 11 nominations will go by default. Incumbents with no opposition were Rep. Charles A. Halleck, second district, dean of the Hoosier i delegation—he has been in congress since 1935; Rep. Shepard J. Crumpacker, third; Rep. John V. Beamer, fifth; Rep. Cecil M.-Har-den, sixth; Rep. Earl Wilson, ninth, who has been in congress since 1938, and Rep. Charles B. Brownson. who, like Beamer and Crumpacker, are completing their first terms. ii Democrats with no opposition are L. Dewey Burham, second; Howard L. Morrison, fourth; Philip C. Dermond, fifth; Jack, H. Mankin, sixth, and Fred V. Culp, 10th. J j i[ Both Hoosier Democratic con-

Wisconsin Primary Info Home Stretch : I* L 4 , ■ Wisconsin To Cast, Votes Next Tuesday Madisnog Wls., Mar. 28—(UP)— Wisconsin’s tooth-and-nall primary - campaigning went into the home stretch today with a do-or-dle battle shaping up between Republic-1 ans Rebort Taft, Earl Warn." >i Harold E. Stassen. Many observers felt that ne.x. ■ Tuesday’s voting will eliminate • the two losers from apy real chance to win the GOP nomination ior president at the, July national convention In Chicago. ' The actions of all three candidates, •» notably Stassen and Taft, during their final week of campaigning have indicated that they feel the same way. ' Wisconsin Gov. Wa^ ter Kohler the slam-bang atmosphere of the campaigning last night when he introduced Warren to an audience at Milwaukee State college. He said he did so cautiously because it was “beef to keep out of the muddy water of this camiialgn.” ■< But he'did say that Warren was U man “having the utmost integrity,' utmost honesty and utmost courage as he has demonstrated here in Wisconsin in the last few days in refusing to ask for votes jn anybody else’s name.” < Re meant both Stassen and Taft. ■ former Minnesota' governor pulled ont out of the hat [earlier (his week by announcing that half |he delegates he hopes will be Elected in his name will vote tor Geh. Dwight D. Eisenhower on the first ballot at the fIOP convention. ’ And a Taft supporter called for supporters of Gen. Douglas MacArthur to throw in their lot with the Ohio senator. ’ Warren'd backers also have used the same tactics. Despite Warren’s own silence an the matter, his backers have said openly that they will vote for Eisenhower at the convention if it seems that Warren has ho chance of gaining the nomination. The California,i gbverner has sanctioned this attitude to the extent that he has not' frowned on Eisenhower as an alternate choice among his delegates.
