Salinger Wins ■ r ■ v._ Nomination In Senator Race ' SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) — Pierre Salinger, cigar-chomping former aide to two presidents, swept to victory in a bitter fight for the Democratic nomination for US. senator in California’s primary election. Tying securely to the memory of the late President John F. Kennedy in his campaign, Salinger faced a November fight with actor George Murphy, a conservative Republican. President Lyndon B. Johnson called his 38-year-oid former press secretary to congratulate him on the victory in Tuesday's primary. Mrs. John F. Kennedy, widow of the late president, also telephoned. “I’m considering going to Southeast Asia,” Salinger promptly announced—even before he claimed total victory over Alan Cranston, balding, 49-year-old state controller. Gives No Reason Salinger apparently felt that a personal appearance in the troubled Far East would widen his knowledge of international affairs. But he refused to elab-

orate on his reasons for the trip. r It was Salinger’s first bid for political office and he went into the election as an underdog. But he had battled fiercely since resigning as Johnson’s press secretary on the final day for entering the primary. -Democratic Gov. Edmund G. Brown already had gone on record giving his “wholehearted” support to Cranston, who also gained backing from the politically potent California Labor Federation (AFL-CIO) and the huge California Democratic Council, the nation's largest volunteer political organization. Beata 11 ethers In winning nomination for the Senate seat held by ailing Democrat Clair Engle, 52, recuperating from his second brain operation in eight months, Salinger defeated 11 other Democrats, including Engle. The veteran lawmaker pulled out too late for his name to be removed from the ballot. Murphy’s win came as no surprise. He had been highly favored to defeat the two other candidates on the ballot—finan- 1 cier Leland Kaiser, 58, and former Kansas Gov. Fred Hall, 47, trying a political comeback. The latest UPI tally gave this vote: "gj-jt..-Democratic —Salinger 643.552, Cranston 597,933, Engle 62,975 : and pension promoter George i McLain 84,292. ■ Republican—Murphy 553,297, -< Kaiser 368,730, Hall 142.531. !

Branigin, Bontrager Given Endorsements By United Press Internatioal Lafayette attorney Roger D. Branigin and State Sen. D. Russell Bontrager had important party organization endorsements today in their Indiana campaigns for spots on the November election ballot. Branigin’s gubernatorial candidacy was endorsed by the St. Joseph County Democratic party organization Tuesday, despite the fact one of his chief rival»-is State Sen. Marshall F. Kizer of Plymouth, the 3rd District party chairman. Bontrager was endorsed by the 3rd District Republican committee for the GOP nomination for U.S. senator. St. Joseph .County Democratic chairman Ideal Baldoni said a canvass of June 12 state convention delegates gave Branigin more than 100 of the 124 total. Kizer was quoted by local sources as ' saying Baldoni is being “pressured” and the pressure appears to be coming from the state administration. Gets Balk as 218 Votes Bontrager’s end or s ement meant that the bulk of 218 delegates in the 3rd District, which includes St. Joseph County, will back him in his four-way race for the right to run against Sen. Vance Hartke next fall. District chairman Robert DuComb said the organization took no stand on the seven-way gubernatorial race because “our prime interest is in Bontrager and we do not want to involve him in the governor’s battle.” Meanwhile, the campaign of the gubernatorial and senatorial candidates galloped into the home stretch with the conventions scheduled for next week. Undaunted by St. Joseph County’s action, Kizer appeared at a breakfast meeting of the seven railroad brotherhoods today in Indianapolis and received their endorsement. A Kizer headquarters news release called it “a full endorsement from the more than 90,000 members of the seven State Wide Brotherhoods of Railroad employees." Blame Placed on Hartke At Evansville Tuesday night, Bontrager invaded Hartke’s hometown and said Hartke was “one of the most frequent contributors” to a situation in which government expenditures soared and the national debt mounted to a new high. Rep. William G. Bray, a GOP gubernatorial hopeful, told a Hammond audience that Governor Welsh was guilty of “milktoast leadership” • during the 1963 Legislature and responsible for Indiana’s prestnt “tax dilemma.” « “I promise you real takecharge leadership as your governor,” Bray said. '“I was not awarded the Silver Star Medal during World War II tor closeting myself in the background away from the action.” At Peru, State Treasurer Robert E. Hughes, one of Bray’s opponents, predicted , a GOP victory in November “if it meets the issues of taxation and spending in a forthright manner.” “The Republican aim must be a simplified and limited tax system coupled with a campaign to cut state spending,” Hughes said/ Scores Road Deterioration Lt. Gov. Richard O. Ristine, who also aspires to the GOP gubernatorial nomination, criticized the administration for permitting U.S. 27 between Portland and Winchester to deteriorate. Ristine called the stretch of highway - “a crumbling symbol of a patchwork highway system.” “What we need is an administration dedicated to putting decisions for the people ahead of decisions for the politicians,” Ristine said. “The people want highways built for traffic not to satisfy the pride of ’a politician.” At Seymour, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Clinton Green on” an* Indiana Mental carry on” an Indiana Mental Health Planning Commission program created by Governor Welsh.

Party Conventions In State Next Week

By EUGENE J. CADOU United Preaa International INDIANAPOLIS (UP I)—lndiana’s two-ring political circus will be staged next week, with the Republican state convention on Tuesday and the similar Democratic gathering on Friday. As the final gubernatorial campaigning and back-state dealing began, Lt. Gov. Richard Q, Ristine seemed to hold a substantial lead among the GOP hopefuls and Roger D. Branigin, Lafayette attorney, appeared to have rolled up an even greater standing in the Democratic struggle. There was bitterness in both party contests, with a possibility of a stop-Ristine movement among the Republican candidates and a savage attack on Branigin, triggered by the acidic denunciation by another aspirant, State Sen. Marshall F. Kizer, Monday. Former Sen. William E. Jenner appeared to be leading the stop-Ristine maneuver. He has Monmouth Sr. Merry Maids The Monmouth Sr. Merry Maids 4-H club held their sixth meeting at the Monmouth high school. A shoiWWneeting was called to order by Cindy Boer ger, president. Pledges were led by the entire club. Roll call was answered by 13 members and one. leader. Business was discussed and the meeting was adjourned to the junior leader meeting at Pleasant Mills school. Refreshments were served by Karen Schieferstein and Roberta Kunkel. The next meeting will be held June 8 from 1:30 to 3:30 p. m. at the Monmouth high school. Autos, Combines Damaged In Wreck Two automobiles and two combines were damaged in an accident Tuesday afternoon on U. S. 27, one mile south of Decatur. Charles Edward Weisenauer, 51, of route 7, Fort Wayne, was traveling north and as he was attempting to slow his vehicle down for another auto, his car, was struck in the rear by a car operated by Dane Alan Bailey, 18; of route 2.Decatur. Bailey was following and was unable to stop in time. Weisenauer attempted to pull to the right to avoid being hit in the rear ,and when his auto was struck by Bailey’s machine, it catapulted into combines in front of the Paul Reidenbach Equipment Co. Damages were estimated at $1,500 to Weisenhauer’s 1963 model auto, and $250 to the Bailey car. Damages to the combines were listed at a total of $250. Deputy sheriff Harold August investigated and cited Bailey for reckless driving, following the 2 p.m. crash. Damages were minor in a two-car mishap that occurred a mile and a half north of Decatur on U. S. 27, at 1:15 p.m. Norman Keith Miller, 29. of Kendallville, came over a hill in the highway and was unable to stop in time to avoid striking a truck that was making a right turn into the new sanitary land fill site. Miller swerved to the left to avoid hitting the truck, and his car caught the left side of an auto operated by Walter Lee Hirschy, 27, of route 6, Decatur, which was northbound. Deputy August, who investigated, estimated damages at $125 to the Miller vehicle and SIOO to the Hirschy car.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE S, 1964

three gubernatorial horses on the track—State Treasurer Robert Hughes, Secretory of State Charles O. Hendricks, and former State Sen. G, Richard Ellis of Kokomo. Others May Profit However, if Ristine is halted, Rep. William G. Bray of Martinsville, or Robert E. Gates of Columbia City, eon of former Gov. Ralph F. Gates, may be helped. State Sen. Earl Landgrebe of Valparaiso has been voted the cellar championship by most political observers. Branigin’s major challenger undoubtedly is former Bloomington Mayor Thomas Ltmon, followed probably by Kizer; Clinton Green, Worthington, former administrative assistant to Governor Welsh, and Luke White, Covingtop, a member of the State Board of Education. There is less interest in the senatorial combat. State Sen. D. Russell Bontrager of Elkhart seems to lead in a rather close contest with Rep. Donald C. Bruce of Indianapolis, who suffers from the usual Indianapolis curse, the antipathy of the outstate politicos to any candidate from Marion County. This sharp conflict may eventually profit former State Sen. D. Edgar Whitcorhb of Seymour, a vigorous campaigner. Hartke Home Free Sen. Vance Hartke remains unopposed for renomination and that status is nearly sure to continue. Insiders say that the GOP state platform will be a short statement of general party policies with perhaps a declaration for exempting food and medicines from the sales tax. There is some doubt whether the platform builders will endorse the sales tax in general, although it is a creature of the House GOP leaders and was passed with Ristine’s tie-breaking vote. Two years ago, the Democrats adopted a similar abbreviated platform, but the word from state headquarters is that it will be longer this year. Repeal of the toothless right-to-work law may be demanded, but there is' much doubt about any sanction'' of a net income tax. Most observers agree there is a damaging ho-hum attitude about nominees for lower spots on the tickets. Nine From County To Receive I.U. Degrees Nine Adams county residents are among 5,350 candidates for degrees at Indiana University, and eligible to participate next Monday in I. U.’s 135th commencement ceremony.
