Senate Votes Down Electoral Proposal First" In Series Os Proposals Rejected WASHINGTON (INS)—The senate today shouted down the first in a series of proposals aimed at giving the people a more direct voice in electing their president. Rejected by voice vote was a suggested constitutional amendment which its sponsors said would be *t‘he closest thing” to bring the electoral «ote,4ato Une with nationwide popular balloting for Chief Executive and vice-president. The proposal would have given each state two electoral votes which would go to the candidate carrying the state. The remaining 435 electoral votes would have been split on a nationwide basis in proportion to popular balloting. Sen. Hubert Humphrey (D Minn ), had offered this as a substitute for a proposed constitutional amendment co-sponsored originally by 54 senators to give each state a choice of two new systems tn apportioning its electoral vote. None of the proposals for amending the constitution to reform the nation’s present “winner-take-aH" electoral system seem to have much chance of getting the necessary two-thirds approval.

McKinney Leading Harriman Backing Asserts Stevenson Fortunes Dwindling INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — Frank E. McKinney, former Democratic"" national chairman, today appeared tq be leading a presidential movenfent for New York Governor W. Averell Harriman in the midwest, one of Harriman’s weakest spots. McKinney says frankly he is for Harriman, If he runs, and on March 4 presided over a meeting In Denver at which party leaders of 12 to 14 midwest states met to boost the New Yorker. McKinney, an Indianapolis bank president, in furthering Harriman, finds himself at odds with another Hoosier, Paul M. Butler of South Bend, present Democratic national chairman, who has been a backer of A'dlal E. Stevenson. The fortunes of Stevenson are waning, according to McKinney, who predicted that Tennessee Senator Estes Kefauver would down the former Illinois governor in the Florida primary, adding: ' “The Minnesota primary result demonstrated clearly that Mr. Stevenson Is not as popular with the man In the street as wp hgve been led to believe.” f McKinney saidUaAW. -JUMMEmI •pfobW wouIFWRIteTWTf’ the presidential preferential primaries In the various states, including the Indiana primary on May 8. Senator Kefauver has been urged by many Hoosier backers to run in Indiana and petitions for him have been circulated for some time with some 5,000 or more signatures.

been filed. The Indiana Democratic organization, following the leadership of chairman Butler, favors Stevenson as It did in 1952 whe# the Illinois leader obtained 25 Hoosier votes tor the presidential nomination to one for Senator Kefauver. Harriman set up a small Indiana organization In 1952 but failed to garner any delegates. It may be a different story this year with McKinney at the helm in this area. He showed much prowess at the 1952 national convention when he forced through a compromise that ended a bitter battle In the party over the civil rights plank Th the platform. McKinney will be a busy man during coming months. He is reported to be the driving force behind the candidacy of State Senator Matthew E. Welsh, of Vincennes, for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, a contest In which Welsh has a record number of seven rivals. At least three of the Democratic gubernatorial hopefuls have accepted the challenge of (Republican Governor George N. Craig to debate the record pf his administration. They are, Nelson Grills, of Indianapolis, Marlon county chair- * man; Hugh Diltin, of Petersburg. former Democratic house floor leader, and Mayor Ralph Tucker of Terre Haute. . ’ Senator Welsh suggested that Craig first debate members of the Republican party opposed to his „ Columbus Woman Is Killed In Accident COLUMBUS, Ind.
