*4iissachuseits Primary Tuesday BOSTON, April 28—(UP) — (UP)—Chief interest will be focused on the "Grass Roots” popularity poll tomorrow when an expected record high of some 300,000 voters cast ballots in Massachusetts’ presidential primary. The state’s voters Republican and Democratic alike will write In their own preference for presidential nominee as well as choose delegates to the parties’ conventions in Chicago The leagli/.ed "straw poll’’ in Massachusetts contains no printed names of avowed candidates or favorite sons from which rotters make a limited choice The voters here start from scratch - a basic test of their reaction. Massachusetts Republicans will elect 38 delegates, though actually only 28 are at stake in tile heated delegate race between Sen. Robert A. Taft and Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. These 28 are district delegates whose sentiments are divided between Taft, Eisenhower—and to a lesser degree—Gen Douglas MacArthur. The remaining 10 at-large delegatee are unopposed and comprise a "harmony" slate which includes two Taft, two Eisenhower and six undeclared candidates. Each GOP delegate has one full vote at the convention. Democrata choose 2 delegates, each with one-half vote at their convention. The Democratic slates are unpledged except in two districts where there are delegates favorable to Sen Estes Kefauver. The preferential polls are not binding on the delegates. But these will be indicative of whom the voters want In writing down their preference, the voters don't even have to spell correctly the names of their favorite candidates. Even a candidate’s nickname will bo counted. Thus, if a voter writes “Ike” it will be counted as a vote for Eisenhower. And "Bob" will be Interpreted as a vote for Taft.

Former Appeal* Court Jwdg* Criticized Domestic Policiot

Speech Cost Justin Miller Attorney General Appointment

Special to Central Press

TrrASHINGTON—Chairman Justin Miller, of the Salary Stahlliza W tlon Board, missed the boat on being appointed attorney gen eral because of a speech he once made critical of President Truman'i "Fair Deal’’ proposals. A highly authoritative Washington sourci

gives this account of the Incident:

The President made up his mind to oust Howard McGrath from thi Job several weeks before the big McGrath-Morris blow-up and calle<

* in Miller, former Circuit Court of Appeals judge

and asked him to take the assignment

Miller agreed to take the Job and was told t« "get ready” to move Into the Cabinet Bubee quently, Senator Theodore F. Green (D), Rhodi Island, called on Mr. Truman and succeeded ti

having the McGrath ouster put oft.

Then, someone uncovered a speech made hi Miller about a year ago in which he attacked som< of the administration’s domestic policies and li was shown to the President. Mr. Truman Immedl ately scratched off Miller's name and whei McGrath did go, Federal Judge Jamea P. McOrso

ery got the job.

Justin Miller • • • * • MCGRANFRY’S PROSPECTS—Meanwhile, oi Capitol Hill, they are predicting MoGranery will win Senate O. K. a his nomination but only after lengthy hearings and strong debate. McGranery’s confirmation has already been delayed by the Senati Judiciary committee's decision to hold a full-scale Investigation am Chairman Pat McCarran (D), Nevada, a pronounced administratioi foe, is In no hurry to start the hearings. Republican senators are also set to accuse President Truman'i appointee of "whitewashing” the Ameraala stolen documents casi when he was in the Justice department. However, the outlook is that after delaying the nomination lon| enough to annoy the President, the appointment will be sent to Uu Senate floor and administration supporters are confident they havi enough votea to win McGranery's confirmation.

9 RAYBURN'S ROLE—House Speaker Sam Rayburn may becomi the administration's "dark horse" choice if a serious North-South spill develops at the Democratic national convention in July. Key Democrats, concerned about growing Republican optimism ant refusal of Illinois Gov. Adlai Stevenson to run, are weighing Ray burn as a possible nominee even though the veteran Texas congressional leader has expressed no desire for the Job. They feel that Rayburn would command the support of both th« southern and northern wings of the party. He is popular with leaden throughout the country and an Intimate friend of President Truman Both of these factors might play a key part should a deadlock develop at the convention and Rayburn become a "dark horse.”

If a stranger to these parts happened to drive through the country surrounding Greencastle yesterday, he might well have decided that a new kind of circiA was setting up for a short stand at various locations. He would probably have decided that it was a water circus, as every installation was located along some stream of running water. This same stranger might well have thought that Barnum A Bailey bed chosen the Dunbar Bridge for their location, as that seemed to be the largest outfit There were many cars and trucks parked at various places along each side of the road, and in the water there were all types of ladders, poles, chairs, ropes and stands Men were banglieg from the bridge timbers, lying on the floor of the bridge, and hanging from the limbs of trees. They were holding poles, rods, strings, bits of wire, and other assorted gadgets, that defy description. Nothing to be alarmed at though, its only Slicker snaring time in Put-
