Five Stales Hold Primary Votes Today By UriM Press Interaation.l Voters In five states go tn the polls today in primary elections to select nominees for Senate and House seats, governorships and various state offices. The five states are Ohio, Florida. New Mexico, Indiana, and West Virginia. They will choose candidates for two governorships, —two Senate seats and 54 House seats. Familiar political names of the past are on the ballots in two states. In Florida former Sen. Claude Pepper is attempting a political comeback. He is running against three opponents for the Democratic nomination for one of the state’s four new House seats. Two sons of former senators opposed each other on the GOP ballot in Ohio. They are state Rep. Robert Taft Jr., son of the late Senate Republican leader, and state Sen. Thomas L. Fess, son of the late Sen. Simeon D. Fess. They seek the GOP nomination for a House seat at large. DiSalle Runs Again The Ohio primary also featured Democratic Gov. Michael V. DiSalle’s fight for renomination against state Atty. Gen. Mark L. McElroy. DiSalle was favored to win. If DiSalie gets his party’s bid, he will face an even bgger challenge in the November elections from a former state audtor, James A. Rhodes, considered a certain winner in the GOP primary. Ohio also is picking candidates for the Senate seat held by Sen. Frank J. Lausche, who is seeking renomination. Lausche appears to have the edge over Albert T. Ball, a former labor organizer. John Marshall Briley; a Toledo lawyer, was the fa vorite so r the GOP nomination. Florida’s Sen. George A. Smathers, who defeated Pepper in the 1950 primary, is seeking the Democratic renomination against Robert L. Davis and Douglas R. Voorhees, Emerson Rupert of St. Petersburg is unopposed for the Republican senatorial nomination. Seeks Fifth Tenn Gov. Edwin L. Mechem is unopposed for renomination in New Mexico’s Republican pr i m ar y. Four Democrats are seeking the right to thwart Mechem's bid for a fifth term. •*»- r .. Indiana and West Virginia are selecting only congressional candidates. In Indiana all 11 incumbents—four Democrats and seven Republicans—were favored for renomination. Former Rep. Randall Harmon, who once made headlines by renting his front porch to the government for office space, is trying a comeback. Reps. Ken Hechler and Elizabeth Kee. both Democrats, were the only congressional incumbents in West Virginia facing opposition in the primary.

RAIL MERGER (Continued from Page One) predicted tha. eventual operating savings woulo total $75 million a year. Prospects of co nsolidating six major eastern roads into three giant systems brightened last week when an ICC hearing examiner recommended approval of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad as a step toward merger. The ICC is on record as favoring rail mergers when they deem them in the public interest. How-

ever, many industry observers feel that the Pennsy and the Central will not have an easy task convincing federal regulators they no longer are the awesome economic powers they once were. Opposed By Labor Labor has raised its voice against the merger. Rail unions have estimated that as many as 25,000 to 30,000 jobs could be lost. However, officials of both roads

Its tracks would stretch from Washington to Boston on the East Coast and reach as far west as St. Louis and Chicago.
