However, the Hooatcr primary th of considerable importance to Kennedy because Indiana's 34 votes would swell his national convention first ballot total, which many politico* believe will be the largest There is a bare possibility that Itep. Randall (Front Porch' Harmon of Muncie wiU try a test flight in the Hoosier Democratic primary Indiana friends several months ago launched a presidential bid for him. but it has made scant progress. Symington A Threat

Indiana eventually will cast many of its presidential votes for Missouri Sen. W Stuart Symington. but his Hoosier managers. Frank M. McHale, former national committeeman. and former national chairman Frank E. McKinney are reported to have advised him not to battle in the primary. There are no signs that any or ! the other presidential hopefuls will be on the ballot. They include Sen Lvndon Johnson of Texas. Sen. Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota. ' Adlai Stevenson and Gov. Robert Meyner of New Jersey and G. (Mennen Wiliams of Michigan. This does not mean that the aspirants will shun Hoosierdom during the months remaining before the big convention at Los Angeles. Johnson and Kennedy already have scheduled Hoosier appearances and Symington and Humphrey are. expected to follow suit. Meyner was in this state several months ago. | Hoosier Democratic chiefs have received communications from the Williams camp, and Stevenson has much latent Indiana strength if the convention fails to nominal' in the early balloting. Primary Has Weakness The weakness of the Indiana primary is that the delegates are -bound to its winners for the first ballot only. They are free afterwards. There could be a split del , egation, because to obtain a solid 1 delegation the leader must be ahead in all of the 11 congres- ' sional districts. | ; Indiana is entitled to 32 votes in the GOP national gathering and each delegate probably will have only one vote. The Hoosier Democrats, however, plan to send a deregation of 68 to their national convention, each delegate with only half a vote. , ... Governor Handley probably will be chairman of the Republican delegation, instead of Sen. Homer E Capehart, because Handley controls the party machinery. Sen. .Vance Hartke. a follower of Johnson, appears to be the ranking possibility for the Democratic delegation chairmanship.

Indiana Politicos May Pick Winners

By EUGENE J. CADOU United Free* International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD— Don’t believe all you hear about the sagacity of Indiana politicians. They do right well cutting themselves up within the bounds of the Hoosier state, but they cut an exceedingly narrow national swath. For the past 40 year* and at nearly all national conventions both Hoosier Republican and Democratic delegates for the most part have been left at the post while others than their favorites thunder on toward the White House nominations. But this year may be the exception. The Indiana Republican organization chiefs were pioneers on the bandwagon of Vice-President Richard M. Nixon, who now is a cinch for the GOP presidential bid. Kennedy In Indiana? Hoosier Democrats are expected to record a majority for Sen. John F. Kennedy in the presidential .preference primary. Kennedy may lead on the first convention ballot. Many of the pros, however, are backing another leading aspirant. Sen. W. Stuart Symington. So things look pretty fair for the Indianans nationally this year. But it has been gloomy for them in the past. They have wandered down the blind alleys of avorite sons, made unproductive aliances with other states and fumbled and bumbled in other ways. Way back in 1920, Hoosier Republicans lined up behind Gen. Leonard Wood when Warren G. Harding was nominated, but the Indiana Democrats boarded the bandwagon of Gov. James Cox in time. Republicans Get Lucky Four years later, there was no other place for the Hoosier Republicans to go except for VicePresident Calvin Coolidge. But the Democrats stumbled through with Sen. Samuel Ralston as a favorite

son before the convention nominated James G. Davis. While the chariot of Herbert Hoover was riding to victory in 1928. Indiana OOP delegate* were doggedly supporting Sen. James E. Watson. Everyone knew that Al Smith would be nominated except the Hoosier Democratic delegates, who lined up behind Evans Woollen, an Indianapolis bunker Indiana Republican* backed Hoover in 1932, the wrong time, while the Democrats flirted with the Al Smith faction which failed to stop Franklin D. Roosevelt FDR later punished the Hoosier* by withholding federal patronage, again and again. There was no excitement in 1936 when the Hoosier GOP delegates went for Gov. Alf Landon and the Democrats stood by FDR. then at the peak of hi* popularity. Willkle Deserted Wendell Willkie. native Hoosier, was nominated In 1940 without the support of the Hoosier Republicans, who battled for Robert A. Taft That year the Democrat* went for Gov. Paul V. McNutt for president and later for vice-presi-dent McNutt probably could have garnered the latter nomination but yielded to the White House and withdrew. Many observers believe be would have been President if he had not given up his vice-presi-dential bid. Hoosier Republicans in 1944 stood by Taft again when Thomas E. Dewey won. It was again and again for the Democrats for FDR that year. Four years later. Taft again lost to Dewey while Indiana Democrats stood behind Harry Truman Hoosier Republicans were for Taft again until word was sent that Dewey would go for Rep. Charles A. Halleck for vice-presi-dent. But Dewey failed to deliver for Haleck. Only two Hoosier Republican delegates voted for Dwight D.

Urges Reduction In Wheat Stockpile WASHINGTON (UPD — Chairman Alien J. Ellender <l>La.) of the Senate Agriculture Committee said today that Congress must find away to curb the growing government stockpile of surplus wheat. But Ellender predicted that Agriculture Secretary Ezra T. Benson's plan to abolish wheat production controls and reduce federal price supports for the crop would be turned down again because it is "too drastic.” Ellender added in an interview that a companion proposal from Benson and President Eisenhower to continue and expand the soil bank program "doesn’t have a ghost of a chance.” The wheat surplus is generally regarded as the nation's most pressing farm problem. By midsummer, stocks of wheat piled up in government control under the present price support - production control program will be up to nearly $3,500,000,000. Ellender said that if Congress fails to pass some legislation to curb the surplus "it may be that the whole farm program will suffer.” ■< .... The Senate farm leader said the Congress cannot drop all controls over wheat production as Benson has proposed for fear of building even greater surpluses. He said Benson's proposals for reducing wheat price supports from $1.77 per bushel to about $1.37 were “far too drastic to pass, particularly in an election year."
