A CLASSIFIED

Kennedy surge is now futile

By United Press International Sen. Robert F. Kennedy’s victories in the California and South Dakota presidential primaries before he was shot thrust him into sharp competitlon for national convention delegates with frontrunning Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey. Kennedy won 172 of California’s 174 convention delegates in his victory over Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy and raised doubts that the Minnesota senator could carry on an effective campaign. Kennedy picked 19 24 delegate votes in South Dakota’s primary while in New Jersey, favorite son Gov. Richard J. Hughes picked up 60 delegate votes. Kennedy and Humphrey were not on the New Jersey ballot.

McCarthy was expected to end up with about 20 New Jersey delegate votes. In other primaries: Gov. Tim Babcock won renomination in Montana against his GOP challenger Lt. Gov. Ted James. The six-candidate Democratic race appeared to be a down-to-the-wlre finish between state senate majority leader Eugene Mahoney and state A tty. Gen. Forrest Anderson. In Alabama, former Lt. Gov. James Allen apparently defeated Rep. Armistead Selden in the Democratic primary for the UJS. Senate. Both are supporters of George Wallace for the presidency. In Mississippi, the state’s four incumbent congressmen led a field of five white and three Negro challengers in the Democratic primary.

The 172 delegate votes from California left Kennedy with a total 493>/2 delegate votes to Humphrey’s 561%. Humphrey, who has not run in any of the primaries, still has the most committed delegate votes among the three contenders. A total of 1,312 are required to nominate. In South Dakota, Kennedy nailed down 24 delegate votes by outpolling McCarthy and a slate of delegates running under President Johnson’s name but publicly pledged to Humphrey. In New Jersey, Hughes, who reportedly leans toward Humphrey, and the state democratic organization picked up most of the state’s convention strength.

Unemployment down INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Unemployment in Indiana was esimated at 66,900 in May, up 200 from April, according to W. H. Parks, director of the Indiana Employment Security Division. Parks said the gain was more than offset by an increase in employment. “Employment during May rose by 11,400 over the April figure,” he said, “and the May total was some 28,600 higher than for the same month a year ago.” Preliminary estimates indicated that non-farm employment reached 1,797,800 in midMay, Parks said, which was near the all-time high of last December. “Nonmanufacturing employ, ment showed a seasonal increase last month but labormanagement disputes in several areas reduced the gain in construction employment,” Parks said. “Increases in the number of employes of durable goods manufacturers more than offset employment decreases in nondurable goods industries.”

Wolfe, 20, of Dodge City, Kan. “It just ain’t right.” “It’s really a tragic thing that a man can’t go out and be in a primary and run for president of the United States without being cut down like that,” said an angry sergeant, William R. Grubbs, 24, of Bristol, Tenn. “It’s a tragic thing.” “I think it’s a horrible thing,” said Capt. Neil Slocum, 32, of San Jose, Calif. “I myself did not like Bobby Kennedy. I would not have voted for him had he been nominated, but this is terrible.” Some could not believe the news was true. “If it’s true, all I’ve got to say is I hope they find out who did it,” said Army Spec. 4 Walter Rosser, 21, of Clairton, Pa. “I’m shocked,” said Sgt.

Spann, 21, of Shelby, N.C., said, “so far as the Negro is concerned I think

grief this really hurts us. I just hope he will still be able to win.” “I was just hoping Bobby would have made it, that’s all,” said Spec. 4 James Handlin, 19, of Uniontown, Pa. “I can’t believe it.” “That was one man I was hoping that would really get elected,” said Sgt.
