Frank 6. Clement Wins In Tennessee NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UPD - Frank G. Clement, his vote-get-ting ability still as sharp as his speech-making, won the Democratic governorship nomination in Thursday's primary, practically assuring him the office for a third time. Clement, 10 years older at 42 than when he first was elected governor in 1952, trounced two major opponents, Chattanooga Mayor PR. Olgiati and Memphis City Commissioner William Farris. I With returns in from 2,536 of I the state’s 2,695 precncts, Clement had 285,705 votes to 198,273 for Olgiati and 185,561 for Farris. That was about 40 per cent of the vote in a state that does not have a run-off law. Democratic nomination is practically the same as election in Tennessee. There has been talk of the Republican party running retired Tennessee Vally Authority Chairman Gen. Herbert Vogel in November. “I can only say I have no feeling except a desire to. do the best I’m capable of doing to be the best governor that Tennessee could possibly have," Clement said in a victory statement.

Effects Os School Reorganization Seen INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The effects of Indiana’s school reorganization program were clearly shown today in figures from the Statehouse that a current fund distribution went to 750 school corporations, a total 146 lower than last year. William E. Wilson, state superintendent of public instruction, I said 896 corpoations shared in the disbursement a year ago but during the year 199 corporations I merged into 53 new units as a re- , suit of consolidation. School support checks and credits totaling nearly $39 million were mailed this week, Wilson said. The credits, amounting to more than $4.5 million, represented deductions of payments to go in the Teachers Retirement ! Fund. The method of deducting E reduced administrative costs for " i the local school units, Wilson said, i I The July payment represents 8 lone-half of the net distribution fa: e the instructional and other curreqi d / expense funds and the entire » i transportation figure. The balance will be paid in October.
