UP — Union members vote today bn whether to accept a new company offer to end a strike of 60 AFL truck drivers against the Kroger grocery chain. J. D. Wiesen, Kroger’s Fort Wayiie _Jirameh _ Jiianager. _sai± J.lie | firm offered a fivy-cent hourly ■ wage increase . together with com-pany-financial hospital insurance.

First Primary On ’ In Illinois Today Opening Round Os j Crucial Elections < CHICAGO UP — The. opening round of the crucial IJJ64 by-elec-tions. which may alter the complexion of the U. S. congress, began today with a primary election in the key state of Illinois. Ttye balfoHiw will, determine the fate of controversial Rep. Harold ’Velde, chairman of the house unAmerican activities committee, and will select a Republican opponent for Democratic Sen. Paul JI. Douglas in next fall’s campaign. The polls opened at 7 a.m. EST and close at 6 p.m. Voters were allowed to select either a Republican or Democratic ballot, but Illinois’ traditional party regularity made wholesale fence jumping unlikely. A forecast of clear, warm weather was expected to increase the turnout slightly from an early prediction of only about 1,600,000. Republican Velde said in a last minute victory prediction that his supporters "are intelligent enough to know most of the opposition steins from left-wing elements out to defeat me and including the Communist party itself.” His opponent is long-time state legislator Robert H. Allison, a one-armed lawyer with a reputation as a friend of organized labor. The Democrats had little to attract them since Douglas is unopposed and there are no contests for statewide offices. However, almost every shade of' Republican opinion was represented in the nine-man race for the senatorial nomination. A 10th candidate, who withdrew several weeks ago but whose ame had already beeiu-printed on the ballots, brought the field to an all-time record for Illinois. "‘■Joseph T. Meek, Chicago Tri-bune-lacked lobbyist, Edward A. | Hayes, former national command- ■ er of the American Legion, Austin I L. Wyman, Chicago--attorney—who-; worked for the nomination of President Eisenhower before the 1952 national conventions, and University of lllinois trustee Park Living-' ston were the Trout runners, ob-1 servers said. Julius Klein, a public relations Icounsel running as a “Taft Re- “ publican,” was a strong campaigner. The field was rounded out by blind Chicago Aiderman Herbert Geisler, syndicated columnist John Crane, former Lions International President Edgar Elbert and Lar (America First) Daly who conceded defeat Monday. . All of the state’s other 24 congressmen were also running, for renomination, and nine of them faced opposition. The Hard Way MEMPHIS.
