I Ninth District Biggest Congressional Contest
(Editor's note: This 4s the second of a series about Indiana’s May 4 primary.) By KEITH L. MARTIN United Press Staff Correspondent INDIANAPOLIS, UP — Indiana’s biggest congressional contest in the May 4 primary is in a sparsely-populated district with j- must counties. The field of battle is the 9th | district, where Republican voters in 14 counties will chose between Rep. Earl Wilson of Bedford and 1 State Sen. Edgar D. Whitcomb of | North Vernon.

The 9th district’s population is lowest, it has the most counties, and there are voting machines only in a part of

Two weeks ago Nixon told the American Society of Newspaper Editors here in answer to a hypothetical question that the United States might have to consider the possibility of sending troops to Indochina if France pulled out of there. Subsequently, the state department and secretary John Foster Dulles said the sending of troops was unlikely. Nixon said today the administration’s policy of "power, firmness and consistency’’ is the only effective way to combat the threat of Red aggression. Meanwhile, other administration sources indicated that this government will hold up new major moves in Indochina until the Geneva conference shows how the windjjs blowing on a negotiated peace.
