' fx-Congressman Thomas Loses In New Jersey J. Parnell Thomas Receives Crushing Defeat In Primary NEWARK, NJ. Vt* — Former Rep. J, Parnell Thomas received a crushing defeat infills bid to regain the se.at in congress that he vacated when he was convicted of federal payroll padding in 1949. Near-final returns in the nation’s second pongressional primary of *1954 showed early today that Thomas lost the Republican nomination in New Jersey’s "th district by an 8-1 margin. He was defeated < by the incumbent, William B. Widnail, who replaced him in congress in 1949. With nearly all election districts reported, the count was 34,974 votes for Widall to 4.4.73 for Thomas. Voteis in the primary nominated candidates for one Senate and 14 House seats and for the most part, approved legalized bingo games and raffles for charity. The voting tor legalized gambling was on a local option basis. Most of the larger cities, including Newark. Jersey City. Camden and Atlantic City, approved the referendum by a wide margin. Many smaller communities, defeated it. apparently because of stiff opposi; tion by the New Jersey Council of Churches, a Protestant group. There were five Democratic and three Republican contests in the state’s 14 districts. All incumbents were renominated. In the most wide open contest, former state assembly man Fred E. Shepard, a staunch supporter of the late Sen. Robert A. Taft, won a close seven-way race for the Republican nomination in the 6th district, which the Democrats captured last November after 21 years of GOP control. Shepard defeated his nearest competitor, Francfs V. Lowden. 8.895 to 8.841. Gtfy Gabrielson Jr., son of the former GOP national chairman, ran third. Thomas, a former chairman of the house un-American activities committee, ran without support of the Republican party. He endorsed the Red-hunting methods of Sen. Joseph 'R. McCarthy during the prfe-primary campaigning and said —ar vote for Thomas would signifyapproval of the junior senator from Wisconsin.

CAPEHART fContlnned From Page One! “terrific condemnation” of the committee and the President. / The. statement. Capehart said, makes him- wonder whether the committee will get the help of the association in “cleaning up abuses for which your members’ were responsible.” Meanwhile, housing chief Albert M. Cole said the administration is ready to crack down on several -government officials involved in the multi - million - dollar housing scandal. Cole, who has been directed by Preside.m Eisenhower to conduct an investigation into the federal housing program, said “action will be taken soon —- very soon against certain housing officials.” . Cole declined in an interview to elaborate on what action might be taken. But his statements raised the possibility of further firings and possible arrests of certain housing officials.
